Everything, from the cinematography to the makeup to the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/live-music-in-singapore-venues-bars\/\">music<\/a>, was absolutely electric.

His other works include cinematic masterpieces like Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby. And his artistic direction with Elvis has been greeted by deep appreciation \u2013 both in the form of a 12-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival and praise from Elvis\u2019 own daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.<\/p>\n<h3>Elvis movie review: Let\u2019s talk casting<\/h3>\n<p>There are plenty of talented actors and actresses in Baz Luhrmann\u2019s Elvis movie. Think Kelvin Harrison Jr. as American blues singer B.B. King, and Olivia DeJonge as Elvis\u2019 wife Priscilla Presley. But let\u2019s focus on the two most pivotal characters.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255113\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-255113 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/elvis-movie-review-Warner-Bros.-Discovery-1-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"elvis movie review | Warner Bros.

Discovery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Austin Butler takes on the Herculean task of portraying Elvis Presley, the late King of Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll. At first, I was surprised to see he\u2019d been chosen, considering I only remembered him from teen movies like Aliens in the Attic. But Austin pulls off the role with aplomb, from the voice to the gait to Elvis\u2019 famous gyrating pelvis. I found myself squinting extra hard at the screen at times when they cut in actual footage of Elvis alongside that of Austin. There were moments I couldn\u2019t tell them apart from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Another major character is Colonel Tom Parker. Tom Hanks fills the role of Elvis\u2019 wily and manipulative manager. Needless to say, he plays quite the villain in this movie. And Tom does manage to make you hate him quite a fair bit despite being well-known for his previous roles as the lovable Forrest Gump and Fred Rogers \u2013 the mark of a great actor, I\u2019d say.<\/p>\n<h3>Captivating music and visuals that excite<\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 958px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/NECVXBIZb5WyFMs8Qh\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"baz luhrmann's elvis movie review\" width=\"958\" height=\"539\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 958px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 958\/539;\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Giphy.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of Elvis\u2019 music, you\u2019ll (obviously) love this movie. Some of the singer\u2019s greatest hits are brought to life in front of your eyes. Think tunes like \u2018That\u2019s All Right\u2019 and \u2018Jailhouse Rock\u2019 that\u2019ll make you want to get off your seat and groove to the beat.<\/p>\n<p>While you know it\u2019s Austin Butler who takes the stage, you can\u2019t help but feel the magic of Elvis\u2019 music in your bones. Austin may not be Elvis, but his stage presence in the film is commendable. It feels as though you\u2019re standing there in the crowd watching Elvis himself captivate the audience for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, I loved the use of songs like \u2018Trouble\u2019 and \u2018Suspicious Minds\u2019 to highlight central moments in the plot. Expect live performance sequences that brim with energy, and eye-catching colours, lighting and set designs that bring each scene to life.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWhen you\u2019re lost, people take advantage\u201d<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255114\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255114\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-255114 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/elvis-movie-review-Warner-Bros.-Discovery-2-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"elvis movie review - Warner Bros.

Discovery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt the performances in this movie are amazing. But this biopic takes Elvis\u2019 appearance as the suave and successful King of Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll, and turns it on its head to reveal a tragic victim of greed and loneliness.<\/p>\n<p>The film is narrated from the perspective of Colonel Tom Parker and explores the various chapters in Elvis\u2019 short life. A young Elvis desperately wants to make something of himself to prove his mettle and care for his family. In particular, the mother he loves dearly. Colonel Parker, on the other hand, has been looking for his golden meal ticket and believes he might\u2019ve found it in the boy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you\u2019re lost, people take advantage,\u201d Elvis says mid-film. But despite this revelation, he doesn\u2019t find out he\u2019s been played by the Colonel until it\u2019s too late. In fact, the saddest part is realising how much more Elvis Presley would&#8217;ve been, had he not been under the thumb of his controlling manager.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the film, you\u2019ll witness Elvis\u2019 successes, burdens and eventual decline \u2013 trapped to perform at the International Hotel in Vegas as the Colonel\u2019s money-making mule until his sudden, tragic death in 1977.<\/p>\n<h3>Elvis Aaron Presley: The man, the myth, the legend<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_255115\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-255115\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-255115 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/elvis-movie-review-Warner-Bros.-Discovery-3-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"elvis movie review | Warner Bros.

Discovery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Is this film a historically accurate version of the real Elvis Presley? Perhaps not entirely. It noticeably skims over plenty of the questionable decisions the King made in his life. Whether that\u2019s his abuse of prescription drugs, his countless affairs, or his relationship with Priscilla Presley that began when she was just 14.<\/p>\n<p>But Baz Lurhmann\u2019s Elvis does well in that it draws attention to the singer\u2019s most charming and magnetic sides. It spins a remarkable tale of genius and tragedy. Baz builds a version of a fallen King you empathise with, whose influence we still feel in the music of today. It\u2019s mind-blowing to think that 40 long years after his death, his voice still cuts through generations and touches the hearts of fans old and new.<\/p>\n<p>A riveting masterpiece that gives insight into the rise and fall of a legend, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VHPvN6dKJos\" rel=\"nofollow\">Elvis<\/a> is one movie you absolutely have to catch in cinemas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now, I\u2019ve definitely heard of the King growing up.
