My mom took me to see Elvis when I was 11. I'm 55 now and she's 76. We watched the trailer and we were both stunned by Austin Butler. He moves just like Elvis. He doesn't exactly look like Elvis, but there's no one that ever will. He captured that Elvis magic and we're both excited for this film!
I'm so happy that you both were able to see Elvis in person. That's a memory that you will never forget. I hope you and your mother see the film and just keep an open mind when watching, and have tissues ready. Take Care and God Bless!
That's fantastic that you actually got to see him in concert! I was 5yrs old when he died, and it's one of those days I'll never forget. Even from such a young age.
@@blackandredbuilds Me too...Although you look a lot younger than 49...I was going to guess you were mid-30s. My mom never got the chance to see Elvis live but she is a big fan so I will take her to see it.
Elvis grew up in a majority black community in Mississippi. In his childhood his dad went to prison for forging a cheque. Unlike many musicians today he never apologised for who he was, he never condescended to anybody and he built bridges, he didn't spend his time tearing them down. And every Rock front man to this day has a debt to him. He is The King.
The Day Elvis Died. August 16, 1977. Sylvia of the Sweet Inspirations maybe explained Elvis the best out of the millions of others who felt the loss at the time. On that hot day in August when Elvis died in 1977 Sylvia memorably explained "I made the mistake of calling Elvis boss once, and he quickly corrected me; I'm not your boss, I'm your brother." THIS WAS ELVIS
My initial humble opinion (and I realize it's just my opinion folks)?: 2023 will be the FIRST TIME I sit down to watch the OSCARS in 30 years. Just to root for Baz and the team he has put together to KICK ASS and win some awards for all their expertise and hard work!!! This is looking like it is going to be a MASTERPIECE of art.
Amazing to see how Austin Butler's voice sounds exactly like Elvis' voice... he had a vocal coach during 1 year to get to talk and sing like Elvis, and we can have a glimpse through this trailer how amazing the result is.... I can't wait to see the full result in June. This could be an Oscar-winning role for Austin... Given his vocal and physical performance and transformation here, he would certainly deserve at least a nomination
So ready and excited for this movie ! ! ! No one can look like our beloved Elvis ! ! !Austin and Baz have caught the essence of Elvis ! Fans and moviegoers need to head to the box - office also stream to support this film!
Goosebumps and kinda choked up. Wow. One of the best trailers I’ve ever seen. Cannot wait to see this with Elvis’ number one fan, my brother Steve. Just wow.
No one can ever look like Elvis --he was one of a kind, but Austin Butler looks like he is doing a great performance. I am looking forward to the movie . .
Great Review & reaction to the Trailer...I grew up with Elvis, saw him 3 times and I am looking forward to finally watching a quality production and by the trailer, I think we have it coming up....Thanks again...
Elvis created a lane in music that never existed until he created it! And yes, he was greatly influenced by gospel & R&B!! He loved people & had a generous heart. No, not perfect, but he was a seeker, an entertainer, a musician 🎙 🎶
Great reaction. Austin Butler is an actor, not an impersonator. I feel confident he will make you forget that you’re not watching Elvis once you get immersed into this movie which is bound to be epic. Definitely looking forward to this.
I agree with you 💯. My Mother loved Elvis, I watched his movies with my mother. I continue on for my mother. I just adore Elvis and appreciate everything that he was. As for the film. I can't wait to see it. I'm gonna keep an open mind and realize there could be a few things that are different that of we all know. Austin looks and sounds Terrific! Tom Hanks is a favorite of mine, unfortunately I am going to hate him in the film. I've always despised Parker for what he did and is a big part of Elvis' decline and possibly his death. I just wished Elvis would have been wise and fired Parker after he returned from the army. Anyway we will see how Elvis' story is told on June 24th. Thanks for your thoughts about the film and on Elvis. God Bless!
Thank you for your intelligent and respectful review. I hope people understand in movies like this there are going to be inaccuracies (like Elvis meeting Parker at a carnival.) It's a lot of symbolism. Can't wait until June!!!
Loved this Trailer so much, that in May, 2022 my wife and I had already booked to go to USA to attend a Convention in Daytona Beach, Florida. We have now extended the visit, to visit many places that has been featured in this Trailer. We can't wait to visit Graceland and many places that Elvis visited and has made famous by his sharing his development there-in. Baz Luhrmann is a master film maker in this type of film making and I like many certainly can't wait for this film to make its premiere. It certainly appears that both Austin Butler has captured Elvis and Tom Hanks has captured the Colonel Tom Parker in their Essence.
Sadly the movies took 8 years of talent from the world and that had alot to do with him not getting the credit he deserves. His vocals, dance and stage presence have not been duplicated and never will. Many people know Hound dog and Jailhouse rock and think this is the depth of his talent. This probably has alot to do with him thinking he would be forgotten. The movies made him money but by his own words " no amount of money would have made me feel good about what I was doing." His talent was too big for the management he had. Vicki
my momma got me into elvis when i was a little girl she was mentally ill and lived in a nursing home, the family that owned the nursing home loved momma and took her to see elvis in june of 77 i am excited for this movie it will turn him on to so many that didnt know he existed
I like the trailer. It features Elvis’s actual voice in the trailer. I wonder if the movie does that throughout. I’m looking forward to the movie. Hopefully it does Elvis justice and captures his true essence as the Artist Of The Century.
You sound like me, I literally grew up with Elvis but I was an Elvis can in the 50's when I was 11 and my dad would not let me what him on Sullivan. But what I want the young people to know is that Elvis changed the culture and when white radio stations wouldn't p!at black music Elvis changed it. He changed styles, he resurrected the guitar industry. He bright gospel music to a secular mainstream audience. He was really the first real super star. And a brand, I had an Elvis shirt and pocket book. Thanks for your reaction. Be Blessed.
I myself am an Elvis fan, uncle's a superfan. Trailer's good Tom Hanks is always wonderful. But I've been an Austin Butler fan for years now - let me tell you, he is a good actor. And his Elvis is superb; both in speaking voice (how it actually sounded rather than the Johnny Bravo impression of everyone tries) and in singing voice (yes that perfect "Elvis voice" singing here is also Austin Butler; I have no doubt he needed to practise like crazy, but still)! He's always phenomenal in everything and yeah, he's one of those actors that's everywhere. Just a lot of content. Every time I see him in something that's different to his previous project I see another glimpse of how versatile he is. Something that Butler's been in that you might have seen is Quentin Tarantino's "Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood". He played Tex Watson; the guy with the really excellent beard and hair down to just above his shoulders - very film-cowboy. The other thing I'll say about this film is they did a really good job with Maggie Gyllenhaal's makeup and prosthetics. Really made her look like Gladys Presley instead of herself. It's superb. Baz Luhrmann's also the one who directed the remake of "The Great Gatsby" with Leonardo DiCaprio, the DiCaprio "Romeo & Juliet", "Australia", "Moulin Rouge"... A lot of good content. So the man knows his stuff.
Elvis is still awesome!, and you are so right about he don't get the recognition he deserves, I've always said Elvis impersonators destroys his legacy, hope this movie does him right
Hi what a great video, You summed it up perfectly. I have to agree with you. I've loved Elvis since I was a small child. I fell in love with his movies I'm so excited about this movie. Thank you xxx 💝
The trailer looks promising. However I hope the movie does Elvis justice and doesn't harp on all the unimportant stuff. He was such a kind and generous man. Love his music. From South Africa🇿🇦
U R RIGHT! And colonel Parker was right he was the villain! He came out from Europe in his later years and went to the States to live! He never wanted an d never allowed ELVIS to perform overseas!
CRESCI OUVINDO E AMANDO ELVIS A MEDIDA QUE OS ANOS PASSARAM REPLETOS DE MÚSICA IMENSAMTE FELIZ COM SUA PRESENÇA INSUBSTITUÍVEL EM MINHA VIDA QUE NEM CONSIGO IMAGINAR O QUANTO FAZIA SERIA SEM A SUA VOZ SUA MÚSICA, SEUS BELOS EXEMPLOS E SEU IMENSO AMOR POR TODOS SEM DISTINÇÃO. ELVIS ETERNO E SEI QUE UM DIA NOS REENCONTRAREMOS PQ JESUS DISSE: NA CASA DO MEU PAI HÁ MTAS MORADAS, EU VOS PREPARAREI LUGAR, ALELUIAH.
Did anyone catch that Little Elvis had a "Flash" or "Lighting" Symbol hanging from his chest in the beginning as he entered the Revival? I'm not sure if the director was trying to convey that there was a Spiritual Connection or that simply was trying to make an analogy of Elvis as a superhero because Tom Hank's Character called him a superhero. Then, at the end Elvis makes a reference to being over in a flash.
I caught that.. Elvis like to read comic books, including Captain Marvel Jr. Whom wore a lightning bolt on his chest. He later incorporated the symbol into his TCB "taking care of business in a flash" logo. This is how he wanted the "Memphis Mafia" to handle things.
Actually Colonel Parker was not the villain, but Elvis was his own villain since he always wanted to push harder and harder and get more and more shows... That's what is sad...
It looks like it will be entertaining. The time line is a little off. The lightning bolt came way later. He didn't wear one as a kid. Plus, Parker met him two years after his first few performances. He wasn't there watching like in the movie. Tom Hanks is also using a wierd accent. Not sure why.
Maybe without the Colonel we would not really even know about Elvis. I know he had his flaws but the man dedicated his life to Elvis, and helped Elvis become the greatest entertainer that ever lived. The Colonel was also very giving and he helped many charities that most don’t even know about…. Just giving you the other side of the coin. The movie looks awesome and it might be one of the best in 2022.
@Roy Davidson * Elvis would have made it without Parker, but maybe not as quickly. He was good for Elvis' exposure in the beginning, but after 1960 he held Elvis back. He was a "promoter", a former carnival barker who never understood the artist in Elvis, not a "manager" in the true sense of the word. Dedicated his life to Elvis?? I think not!! Elvis was his cash cow and no more than a commodity to Parker who used Elvis to pay his gambling debts. Elvis deserved much better!!
@@ihatechange Elvis was a grown man and he could of fired him anytime he wanted to do so. It was a partnership and they both did extremely well. The colonel gave a lot of money to charity, but you don’t hear about those stories, do we ? Anywho, they are both gone so no sense in bashing their legacies. This was the greatest entertainer that ever lived and the Colonel was a part of that success. Enjoy the new Elvis movie coming out and have an awesome 2022. God Bless
@@roydavidson2633 Roy, I respect your opinion. There were so many different dynamics going on between Elvis and Parker, only they lived it and knew the truth. I am also looking forward to the movie. Let's hope it brings a new flock of Elvis fans into the fold! Take care, stay safe👍
@@ihatechange Thank you. The movie looks like it is going to be awesome. Not sure if you have ever been to Graceland ? But, I like it better there than Disney World. You can still feel his spirit there and all the love that people still have for the greatest entertainer that ever lived. TCB
@@roydavidson2633 I've already warned my friends not to speak to me during the movie in June because I don't want to be distracted and miss something LOL! Yes, I've been to Graceland a few times. Nothing compares to it. The air seems rarified. I went one time for his birthday and prayed for snow. Sure enough it snowed before we landed. It was awesome with the Christmas lights! I'm from Boston and used to getting around in snow, but it was almost comical watching Memphians trying to deal with it! Elvis has been an integral part of my life since I was 15 and has gotten me through some rough patches. How about you?
is that the best you can do? I try to dismiss the fact that reaction folk are a waste of time but since it was Elvis I thought to watch a few and good god there's so many ding dongs out there trying to stumble through English language its ridiculous. at least you didn't talk through it although you couldn't help yourself to throw out a few phrases of duh-like responses. this trailer gives us so much character, emotion and flaovvro its hard to comprehend but it also leaves you moved and salivating for more. even the lil kid running to the revival looked like Elvis as a child... character and beautiful... Austin? good god what a job and like Kelli below here says: no one could look exactly like Elvis but it doesn't matter. good luck
You seem like a super nice person. I really appreciate your participation because every little bit helps. I'm gonna head over to your channel and check out your content now. Have a GREAT day.
Once upon a time Season 2 Nero Kisses Lady Mary (Devil May Cry 5) FIRST LOOK!!!! Nero (Austin Butler) Sweetest Angel protecting Lady Mary (Gemma Lin Lee PETRAS) (she's my hero 😻 & Kawaii Úwu 🐉 🐈). She's so cute 💗 🥰 🥰 (Gemma Lin Lee PETRAS) Lady Mary
Tom Parker held Elvis back on so much more potential that Elvis had and that is saying a lot because everything he did was amazing in general. Tom Parker was horrible for Elvis.
Y SOLO HE VISTO EL TRAILER -1---Nunca tuvo Elvis un rayo de jovencito en su pecho -2---Sus primeras apariciones no fueron en Memphis sino en Tupelo. -3---En el inicio de la película en las primeras escenas de Elvis en el escenario no estaba el Coronel Parker..... -4--- Austin Buttler como actor será bueno pero en este papel no logra la personalidad ni esencia de Elvis Aaron Presley. -5---Tom Hanks todo un gran actor en el papel del aprobechado y nefasto Tom Parker, de lo mejor. El argumento no es muy real. peroooooo veremos la peli y lo más importante es el recuerdo del Rey del Rock, nada más.
