Louis Garcia

LOVED it! I grew up in the 50’s and certainly liked his music, but but I wasn’t a huge fan. This film made me re-evaluate the man and his music. It isn’t really a true biopic but an inventive compression of Elivis’ life story told in the flashy fast paced style Luhrman is good at. Austin Butler is amazing as EP and supposedly sang most of the songs himself with occasional help from Elvis dubbed in. Tom Hanks is s little “over the top” this time and turns Parker into a cartoon character. I kept thinking of Sidney Greenstreet in Casablanca. Overall very enjoyable.
