Elvis Presley

Has anyone seen the new Elvis movie? Im a huge fan of Elvis but ,I felt the movie was a bit of a let down. It seemed more about his totally weird manager played by Tom Hanks. I think there was to much focus on his annoying character.

I heard Elvis was created by the Colonel. So It would be like a movie about KFC without a major focus on that Colonel.

@StygianKohlrabi yeah I get that but the way the col. was protrayed in the movie was kinda creepy and surreal. Didnt like that side of the movie.

@Cutiepi23 maybe the Colonel was weird 🤔
MY issue with the movie is they don't show Elvis in his FULL massive glory

@StygianKohlrabi well thats not a photo of Elvis. Ive seen Elvis perform just before he died & he was sadly overweight & ill. But he still mananaged to be entirely captivating. Sad to see a man burnt out at 42 years of age.

@Cutiepi23 Yikes. It's actually younger than me. He lived an amazing life, I bet.

@StygianKohlrabi Thats what I thought but I dont think Elvis was ever truly happy. I think he had happy moments but in all I think his life was not his own.
