The "That's Alright Mama" Vegas rehearsal scene where he figures the song out with the band, and the subsequent first Vegas performance of "Suspicious Minds", was the most sublime, kino thing I've seen in a movie theater in years.
Butler looked like a fricking stud in that scene. He really deserved a much better movie. Hanks was just fricking terrible. Pretty sure I audibly groaned whenever he showed up. Not even in a "so bad its good" way like Jared Leto in House of Gucci.
WE WUZ ELVIS N SHIEEEETTT
They can't help themselves can't they? >Not exactly. When Elvis (Austin Butler) is in the process of creating his first single for Sun Records in the movie, we see him watching an old bluesman stomp through a soupy, gloomy version of Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right." Butler's Elvis then combines this version with a gospel choir's elevated rendition of "I'll Fly Away," resulting in something similar to the version of "That's All Right" the real Elvis Presley produced. >The problem here is that while blues and gospel certainly inspired Elvis Presley, he was also influenced by rock 'n' roll and country music as well. The latter is an important element that's all but absent from the film. This seems to have been an intentional omission by director Baz Luhrmann in order to play up the idea that Elvis was appropriating black culture and benefitting from doing so, all while his black contemporaries weren't being given the same opportunities. While the latter is certainly true, it's a distortion of the facts to ignore the other influences that inspired the real Elvis Presley, specifically Southern country. >In reality, Elvis' sound was more unique than it was ever an exact appropriation of any one genre or genres. It could also be argued that the elements of blues and gospel in his music provided a gateway for people to discover blues and gospel artists.
