couldn't watch because of tom hanks
he should quit acting
baz luhrmann is such a fricking hack, I've never hated a director's style more, I watched 2 minutes of Australia and wanted to simultaneously vomit and break things, It's an assault on all the senses.

>baz luhrmann is such a fricking hack, I've never hated a director's style more,
how can you hate it? He uses editing and camera to create a mesmerizing effect that blends scenes together through the entire film. its cutting edge stuff of which I think is the future of editing.
Up to this point I had only seen R+J and Gatsby, thought his style was fine enough for those because it was a fresh take on stuff that had been rehashed ad nauseum. For a biopic it felt disrespectful. This was a real guy whose life and struggles were turned into a cartoon. I'm not even an Elvis fan, the people who are should be offended.
I don't follow. You mean the style being so drastically different because of new technology and techniques being so separated from what was available at the time?
I dislike his style but I liked Elvis. Maybe he held back on his usual over the top bullshit since it's a biopic and didn't want to scare away the boomer audience. The guy playing Elvis did a decent job as well, even though he doesn't look much like the real Elvis.
what made this movie kino for me was my mindset when I saw it
>be me >pretend im a time traveler from the 1980s >watch the Elvis movie in awe >its the futures interpretation of what Elvis was >its the futurism aesthetic from Back To The Future part II. >High kino
They did a genuinely good job of portraying him how the youth of the day saw him. By modern standards he's a boring sellout, but at the time (especially in the rural white south) he was the physical embodiment of aggression and temptation.
All in all a fun movie. Not amazing, but a good watch nonetheless.
It's hilarious that the modern right call themselves the 'new punk' considering that the equivalent back in Elvis' day would've been middle class children of Dust Bowl survivors advocating for Feudalism.
I might've watched this Elvis if I hadn't watched the Kurt Russel Elvis recently. Now they're making a Jacob Elordi Elvis? Biopics are not good movie premises. There has never been a great biopic. The best biopic, Amadeus, was 50% fiction.
this movie was kino
based
cringe
The trailer seemed cartoonish, especially tom hanks character
>tom hanks character
unironicallly he almost ruins the movie

in a way its kino to see a film from the future that has no idea what reality was back in the day.
like imagine what Star Wars will be in 100 years. Unrecognizable and kino for that alone

nobody beats the king
>this was explicit and sexual to boomers
really makes you realize how moronic they are for freaking out about trans people now
If anything trans """people""" are proof that they were right to object to such things, you groomer predator.
if it was up to chuds, the human race would still be in the caveman era

if Elvis came along today, the right would call him a troony.
It's hilarious that the modern right call themselves the 'new punk' considering that the equivalent back in Elvis' day would've been middle class children of Dust Bowl survivors advocating for Feudalism.
did this word salad make sense in your extremely online brain?
you will never be punk rock, chud
>you will never be a drug addict anarchist homosexual with pink hair
jesus isnt cool.
It's hilarious that the modern left call themselves 'women'
I don't think so bud
>A SPECIAL AGENT FOR THE MAN
>THROUGH WATERGATE AND VIETNAM
>NO ONE REALLY GAVE A DAMN
>DID YOU THINK THE CIA DID
if elvis didn't come along today, the left would still cancel him for his skin color
Now dig on this
I understood that reference, maaaaan.
Just made me keep thinking of how prime Val Kilmer would have been so much better
>t. hound dog
He fricking sucked as Elvis. He could pull of playing a new romantic, but Elvis? lmao.
not according to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17KcZMVVjbA
he was literally Elvis reincarnated. A true actor, I shall watch his career with great interest.
>Have you ever heard the Tragedy of Colonel Tom the Wise?
And he wasn’t just great at playing young hot Elvis, he also did a great job playing old fat Elvis.
yeah. this film blew me away I watched it so many times.
how do i achieve this ?
they really should have recreated this for the film.
>has never even taken a PCR test
BURY ME BURY ME
it's called karate man only 2 kinds of people know it
LOOK OUT MANG
kino
Elvis was good
Tom hanks was cringe
Trap remix of Elvis songs was gay and cringe
Maybe 30min too long
Overall though a fun flick.
7.3/10
>Tom hanks was cringe
i dont like how modern audiences are unable to see a character instead of an actor. I thought Tom was great in this.
I blame social media
You're a moron
frick you zoomer tictok homosexual
Have sex
