Review of Elvis

I guess this movie has been made for millenials who do not know nor even care who Elvis was and maybe never listened any of his songs. Elvis 2.0? No, thank you. More an update of Freaks, this three rings Elvis circus is visually very similar to Moulin rouge or The great Gatsby. Sort of loud colorful nightmare and shamely clearly made for pecuniary purposes only. A dirty unpleasant look with lots of pastiche colors, disgusting cartoonish characters, impact dramatic effects, dirty mind plot tricks and constant fast jumps. The script is poor and unaccurate but provides all kind of low dirty tabloid stuff to appeal the kind of audiences it is addressed to.

If you like Elvis songs and music go for 1979 Elvis movie. Kurt Russell just provides the best performance I have ever seen of Elvis. He IS Elvis and by watching the movie you feel you are really watching Elvis. But that's a completely different story...
