[CRAZY-HORSE]

cinema trip this morning to see the new biopic which centres around the relationship between Elvis Presley and his manager Tom Parker. the role of Parker was played by the brilliant Tom Hanks and he pulled off the accent, mannerisms and little nuances perfectly IMO.
Austin Butler, who i am not familiar with, portrayed Presley and did an admirable effort in bringing the role to life in a believable way.

it doesnt matter if you like the music of Presley or not, this is a movie about unscrupulous blood sucking managers and their influence over their artists and well worth watching as a casual fan or general music lover who may not know too much about Presley and who he was as a person, artist and familyman.


it is also a great movie for self confessed diehards like myself, but like the Bohemian Rhapsody movie there are little factual inaccuracies and inconsistencies that big fans like myself will pick up on,
not that they really alter the legacy or image of Elvis but are just out of place for us Presley-philes.


all up, an excellent movie which i thought was on par with Bohemian Rhapsody for music, story and acting and im not ashamed to say it but i shed a couple of tears ten minutes from the end (something the casual viewer most likely would not).

Rating:  9/10
