“Tell me Mr. Presley, are you

ready to fly?” - Colonel Tom

Parker

Austin Butler (Elvis Presley)

and Tom Hanks (Colonel Tom

Parker) star in the new rock

biopic of Elvis Presley. This

movie is about to two men and

their destiny. Elvis Presley

went on to be the King of Rock

and Roll and a legend. Young

Tennessee boy Elvis, who was

influenced by gospel rhythm

and blues and of course rock

and roll, brought rock ‘n roll

to the mainstream. He began

his career by doing small

concerts with country western

acts and eventually becoming

a superstar doing shows in Las

Vegas, movies - a Superstar.

And then there is his fall where

he was manipulated by Colonel

Tom Parker and addicted to

prescription drugs. Carnie

Colonel Tom Parker, “The

Snowman,” managed Elvis’s

career demanding he work

himself to the ground and took

50% of his earnings. Colonel

Tom Parker had a secret that

nobody knew, creating his own

identity and the fact he was not

allowed to leave the country.

His financial abuse of Elvis is

evident throughout the movie.

This film is cleverly edited

and presented as a carnival ride

whirlwind, starting with Elvis’s

early humble beginnings and his

rise to stardom. This film had

two wonderful performances:

Austin Butler as Elvis and Tom

Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker.

Butler gave a phenomenal

performance. He is truly on his

way to stardom. He's incredible

at acting plus he can sing dance

and move like Elvis Presley.

Tom Hanks gave a wonderful

performance as the conniving

Colonel Tom Parker. You hardly

know it is him under all that

makeup. Hanks is probably

to receive another Academy

Award nomination for his role.

If you're an Elvis fan and you

know all the great stories about

him, this is the movie for you.

The movie is sure to introduce

the King of Rock and Roll to a

new generation whose legend

will never die.
