They appear in ‘Elvis’ all the situations and details expected in an Elvis Presley ‘biopic’: his passion for black music, his recordings on Sun Records, fame, rebellion, sex offence, conflicts with the most puritanical industries, military service in Germany, Priscilla Presley, Hollywood, television specials, the golden cafe of the International Hotel in Las Vegas became for him , pill addiction and death at age 42. All this in Baz Luhrmann’s style, more restrained than in ‘Moulin Rouge’, but dizzying montages, split screens, and musical confusion – Elvis’ voice came face to face rapper Nardo Wick in ‘The Ghetto’– to shake the foundations of the traditional biographical film.
It is also a film told through. Colonel Parker’s disgrace, businessman profiting from him and blew it up for life. The conversation is a little simple: Elvis’ existence was so unlucky because of Parker, with Presley’s father consenting, he’s no better off. “There wouldn’t be Elvis Presley if it wasn’t for me,” says Parker, who is not the colonel or a US citizen. On the other hand, it’s a fraud that Luhrmann uses to argue. a scam company. scene with Elvis boy captivated by a blues performance and a gospel audienceThe provocative performance on the theme of ‘The Problem’ -Elvis broke the laws of discrimination by dancing like black people!- and the recording of the 1968 television special are those wonderful moments that Luhrmann used to us.
