It is hard to achieve with exaggeration Elvis Presley because Elvis is God, so be it. Without a doubt además, one of the most important artists of the twentieth century. On our name it creates a quilleo on the back of the neck and on the dancing jaws.
Elvis, American singer and songwriter, king of rockthe man who revolutionized not only music, customs and even the form of relationships with our bodies was undoubtedly a genius.
Saving distances, that’s not it Baz Luhrmann It’s bad, but apparently Elvis doesn’t like it. The director’s universe Moulin Rouge (2001) or The Great Gatsby (2013) Always looking for the purple imagination of a memphis idol. Deliberate aesthetics kitsch where the show is full of excitement, we leave ourselves unlit, and where the light shines.
In many ways, Elvis invented his own rock star persona, transforming himself into a flamboyant personality with his famous trajes de solapas imposibles y lentejuelas.
Luhrman is obsessed with Elvis, and in 2022 dedicated a sumptuous biopic to him simply titled Elvisin that Austin Butler to give life to a revolutionary singer. Epic skyrocketed when the Australian director discovered it existed a treasure trove of unreleased film material and unused, released by MGM for the 1970 concert film Elvis: That’s right and on the 1972 sequel, Elvis on tour.
As I saw it, the visual material was hidden in a salt mine where the studios examine ancient materialpoorly labeled and unorganized, while the audio hub can be found elsewhere. A very beautiful area of archeology that Luhrman learned with the vision of a filmmaker but also a historian. From escalofríos to think that material of such important value was stored in the seed.
Elvis was talking
Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic and this documentary complement each other a unique and essential vision of your character.
Elvis it was a good movie that emphasized his relationship with his manager, “Colonel” Tom Parker, who he played Tom Hanks.
It was a diabolical relationship in which Parker took control of every detail of the star’s life, trying to preserve the entire coast from which it would be “contaminated” by air. hippies and politicians who overcame the 1960s finale with May 68 and Woodstock. Parker hated the idea of his protégé becoming a “communist”.
Parker also deliberately avoided Presley, given that he had died in his arms, ever being outside the United States because as an illegal immigrant I couldn’t climb on the ground without risking not being able to fly. And the “colonel” had nothing. In the Parker documentary, the rechoncho, with the expensive delas pulpas and the “crecepelo” seller, as he said earlier, goes a little higher.
He thinks that Luhrman was looking here for an idol from fiction and in the role of his personal and professional relationships, v EPiC: Elvis Presley in concert It’s your own star who takes all the lead. In addition to this previously unreleased material, the filmmaker met him another sweetheart: Presley had access to an audio-only interview with the filmmakers Elvis on tourin the one you’re talking to an honesty that is not usual for a star.
Using this archive material, as well as other images that Luhrman perfected with due attention, the documentary is downloaded at dizzying rise to fameunder conditions to rebel with a cause who viciously attacked her more than two years ago US Army soldier in Germany in the late 1950s teen movies in hollywood…and for these feats he was highly praised in Las Vegas in the 1970s, when Elvis sometimes managed it three times in a day in Parker’s leonine conditions.
The most painful episode is the death of his mother during his service in the army, caused by alcoholism. Death, which the star has always handled very poorly, and which you see as well Laboratory exploitation of desmedidawith his physical decline in recent years before his death at age 42.
I loved it, but I also hated it
The film combines Presley’s performances in which he practically sings all of his most iconic songs, with “honest” statements from your artistin chronological order in a fairly classic document.
Especially in the singer’s early years, in the 1950s of America rabid anti-communism and reactionary waveEmphasizing Elvis’ status as an “anti-system” artist, Luhrman reproduces the discussions heard today by antediluvian people about “what he does with the body” rock and roll. That’s what, that’s such an amazing thing.
Yes vimos en el biographical filmbut here it is clearer: Elvis Presley, who also sang, danced and composed brilliantly, was a good guy. Elvis takes as much as he can, the attacks that some consider them (los haters not born into social circles), he refuses to change at all, without fear, with pure personal conviction, and complains that his Hollywood films are no longer good.
And above all let’s go back to Elvis, who was also very good, he came back with the same personality and his own personality with detachment and ease that we are reminded of his greatness again. yes yes I confess that I could not live without the adoration of my fans and when you lose it, it will be a trauma.
Songs like I can’t help falling in love, Always on my mind, In the ghetto, Suspicious minds… which are true masterpieces, happen one after the other, with this more tonal, epic and emotional Elvis.
EPiC is 96 minutes long. If they are ready in a short time. This example one of the few movies you wish nobody would notice.
