Okay, I haven't done one of these in a while, but here we go. I recently saw the film Elvis, and it was really well done. What I mean is that I had a really enjoyable time watching this film, and I learned a lot about a singer who contributed so much to the music industry.
Over the years I've seen a few musical bio pics, and this one is by far one of my favorites. It tells a really intriguing story with superb acting, and great direction. I wasn't bored at all, and I was hooked the entire time. The main reason for that for me was Austin Butler, who put his heart and soul into playing Elvis Presley, and it comes out beautifully. Here is even a link to a video show casing what he went through for this role https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nQaG6gjfII.
Tom hanks plays a character that I've never seen him play before, and he does a fantastic job as always. All the other performances are great as well, but Butler should definitely receive awards for this movie. This movie is one of the better films I've seen this year, and I think it should be seen by anyone who enjoys music of any generation. You don't have to see it in theaters, but if you get a chance to watch this film you will not be disappointed by it one bit.
