" Elvis" biopic, we seeing this breh/brehettes?
- Thread starter valet
- Start date
The trailer is at least tryna sell some acknowledgement that he's just doin black music in a white man's body. Shows him in the black church and how life changing that was, how he feels civil rights issues have a lot to do with him when his manager wants him to stay out, etc.
But we'll see

If it comes on television, sure, movies, nah.
Yet with Elvis, I feel like unlike Freddie/Queen and Elton John, his base is very dwindling to a degree. The songs are classic, but Elvis to me, feels entrenched in the past. Maybe it was because I only see him as the bloated version, when he was past his prime. Plus, since he is entrenched so much into pop culture, there isn't much you can't reveal that is already known.
I mean Selena and La Bamba are great, great films that provide insight on people who were about become very famous but died young. So those movies helped provide information you never knew about, where with Elvis it's like, "Ok, yeah I knew that."

If anyone should get the hate Elvis gets, it's that crooked ass manager of his Col. Tom Parker. In the words of Mike Tyson, "he's a slimy, reptilian motherfukker".

My date and I enjoyed it. They acknowledge the black influence a lot and Elvis didn't hide it either. He was definitely the Eminem of his day as far as him growing up in or near black neighborhoods and being influenced by the look and music. I know Elvis gets a lot of hate for getting big off of black songs but his on stage gyrating and the fact that he was handsome gang is what really shot him to the top. If you can get young white girls to lose their minds over then you will be a success
Colonel Parker looked liked Burgess Meredith's The Penguin

@2 Up 2 Down is it possible to become a famous and successful singer as long as you are handsome gang? I want to become a singer but can't really sing.
