With my course I had the luxury of going to see Elvis, I had seen it once before and I really enjoyed it so I happily watched it again. The film tells the story of Elvis Presley’s life and how he became the icon we all know him as. It shows the triumphs, struggles and performances that Elvis, his close ones and his fans experienced throughout his career. This film is ultimately incredible. It touches every moment and era of Elvis’ life and successfully captures the emotions he was feeling at each individual time.
The cinematography was done beautiful and it had a very old Hollywood essence to it which captured the Elvis experience in such a great way. Austin Butler who played Elvis, was phenomenal and really took on the role well, through stance and voice and all round his acting was very well done.
After watching it a second time, like with most films especially ones that provide so much information and education, like this one does I managed to pick up details that I hadn’t the first time and it really helped me to understand his life and his choice whether he made them or not throughout his career.
The costumes are divine with so many iconic Elvis looks from the Pink suit to the Eagle costume he wore during one of his last performances, they had so much detailing on them and they helped to carry the story as we see Elvis’ rise to fame we also see how this is demonstrated through his outfits.
Overall I think that this film was very enjoyable and taught me a lot about Elvis Presley, I would definitely recommend.
