ELVIS
“The light that burns twice as bright.....burns half a long”
My point….Elvis was born 1/8/1935 and die on 8/16/1977. Definitely a tragic loss at the 1/2 way mark of his life!
The name ELVIS is known world wide and after watching this movie I never in my wildest dreams knew about any of the behind the scenes problems this man had. The film does as excellent job of bringing them to light, starting with his life a young child explaining where his passion for music started right up to his death.
The pace of this movie is absolutely perfect. Never a dull moment with scene after scene painting a very detailed story of his life.
After seeing the movie I truly believe that everyone should see this film. Fans of all generations will love this film for years to come.
It’s an incredible and exciting film from start to finish with a roller coaster of emotions. Austin Butler's performance is revolutionary as he truly becomes Elvis with his mannerisms and dancing.
This movie humanizes Elvis, where most of us just knew him as a performer. The film has a perfect mix of modern music and Elvis classics. This is one movie that you should watch in theaters to capture its greatness.
