Saw this movie a couple of weeks ago, and I was surprised at how big of an Elvis fan it made me. Had no clue he was *that* big of a deal. Great movie. Who here has seen it, and what were your impressions?

I never realized how short he was til I watched it.

Look at that salt shaker. That thing is HUGE. I don't mean anything by it. It's just huge. That's all.I never realized how short he was til I watched it.

I was about 13 years old when Elvis hit the scene. Big deal? He was as big as it gets. There had never been anything like Elvis in the history of entertainment. Nobody knew how to handle him. One thing few people know is how generous he was and he never forget where he came from. He was a natural and genuine. But he did have his demons.
I saw the movie and enjoyed it immensely. I personally knew several people who performed with him, Donnie Sumner and his uncle J.D. Sumner. (now deceased) Donnie played piano and was in J.D.'s Stamps Quartet and they sang back up with Elvis in Vegas and his record recordings. Donnie lost a beautiful wife because of his drug addiction and came a hair of committing suicide. But he turned his life around.
Donnie's father was my parents pastor.
Never mind. Apparently the OP fell for one of those fake internet death threads.
I have zero idea what any of his political beliefs are. I just don't like his style of filmmaking
He's not the King, but he was once People Magazine's Sexiest Athlete. Accidentally.

My cousin Ed Enoch sung with Elvis and j.d. and then gospel with j.d. after Elvis passed
One of my sil grew up in Whitehaven. That is the area of Memphis that Graceland is located. When she was little(early/mid 60s), Elvis would open up Graceland at Christmas. She has a pic of herself with her sister sitting on Elvis' knee like he was Santa.
Trivia that I know because of Memphis family:
Whitehaven was named after Col. White. Whitehaven was forcefully annexed into the city of Memphis in 1970. A decade of white flight and it's been known as Blackhaven ever since.

Makes me think going forward crappy movies or films that bombed will be on Max sooner, while more successful releases will continue to go through the steps of theater, then rental, and then finally be put on platforms like HBO Max.
