Can anyone other than Australian director, Baz Luhrmann, dazzle us as Elvis, the fictional tale of the legendary pop star whose pelvic-thrusting gyrations made an entire generation fall in love with him? their ways were imitated Bollywood Heart beats Shammi Kapoor and this is most evident in the third floor in which he plays the drummer at the Park Hotel in Mussoorie.
Elvis was kicked out of competition at the Cannes Film Festival, which ends today (May 28). With Austin Butler as Elvis Presley, and Tom Hanks (yes Tom Hanks) as his shrewd manager, the film, coming from the man who gave us Strictly Ballroom, Romeo and Juliet and the Moulin Rouge, is a poignant look at a singer’s life. which attracted millions of people with his guitar-playing, foot-tapping numbers.
Well, Elvis could be singing his way to next year’s Oscars, and Butler could be in the running for Best Actor. He is full of incredible energy, and the film is a pulse-pounding string of musical numbers, each better than the other.
The story is narrated by Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker (Hanks), whose mysterious ways lead Presley to travel from Memphis to fascinating heights in America. The film begins with a dying Parker in a Las Vegas hospital bed: “Without me, there would be no Elvis Presley”. really.
Parker also invented the idea of merchandise that would send the girls wild. They even had “I hate Elvis” pin-badges. “Haters will always hate, so it’s better not to take advantage of them”. And they were. His lewd antics were seen as “crimes of work and perversions”. At one point, the press pulled him apart, and he also faced potential jail time.
But the haters were a minority; Most respected him as God. “Priscilla[Elvis’s wife]was terrified about seeing it,” Luhrmann told a press conference shortly after it was shown to Elvis. “So much has been said about the icon Elvis – he’s wallpaper, he’s a god – so many things that just aren’t true.”
“Important people have their jobs – some do it well, some don’t,” he continued. “No criticism, no review ever meant more to us than the woman who was married to Elvis Presley. I can’t tell you how our stomach felt when she went to see the movie.”
Her response was positive, and Luhrmann was greatly relieved. “She said ‘I just wasn’t ready for that'” related Luhrmann. “‘If my husband were here today, he would look into the eyes of Austin Butler, who plays Elvis, and say ‘Hot dan, you’re me!'”
Butler said he worked very hard to be like the icon to capture his life and soul. Butler said, “I thought that if I worked hard enough, I could make my face look exactly like Elvis’ face.” “At a certain point, it’s like going to a wax museum”
Finally, Hanks spoke his words of wisdom. And he was humble. “There would be no Colonel Tom Parker without Elvis; No Elvis without Colonel Tom Parker”.
After the film’s premiere, Elvis’ songs were in full swing with a grand party. Jailhouse rock was one of the most beloved with its hip-hop beat that brought back the memory of the legendary singer.
But yeah, Elvis couldn’t have been Elvis had it not been for Luhrmann, Hanks and Butler. All three made an almost impossible dream come true. After a private screening of the film in April, Priscilla (76) wrote on social media that Elvis is a “true story told brilliantly and creatively that only Falcon, in his unique artistic way, could have delivered. “
