I loved Great Gatsby. Baz sounds like a great person and I could tell he really enjoyed this interview. Can’t wait to see Elvis and then what he does next which I hope won’t be as many years away as it’s been btwn Elvis and Gatsby
BAZ I LOVE U I LOVE ELVIS ALL MY LIFE I was not born but I know him his spirit his soul I felt him from young. I don’t go movies because of covid but damn it are going to get me out there to watch my soul Elvis. I will probably be a mess. I truly believe he went into Austin and gave him full permission to show his life and love Humbly from Hawaii
Baz should do a movie about Donald Trump. Whether you like him or not, the fact that he went from a billionaire businessman, reality TV show star to President of the United States without ANY other political experience or office is astounding. Trump is one of those larger than life people that would lend itself well to Baz’s over the top flair and cultural message,
@@joannemurdock7899 yes, but this was filmed at Graceland during their press day after the premier of the movie. I was there and at the same time Baz was giving interviews over in the Sun Studios exhibit area which had black curtains up and closed off to the guests, the black leather and sign were both missing from their usual spots at the same time these interviews were given just feet away. Quite obvious they were used as the background during their interviews that day.
Oh, you mean Priscilla Beaulieu's EX husband? The problems begin as soon as Priscilla gives her stamp of approval, because that means it has been made to her liking even if she was not involved hands on with the production. It might sound great to many that Priscilla gave the movie her blessing. But the fact remains that she has changed a lot of Elvis history to suit her story. I'm sure he loved her for some of the time they knew each other, but in reality, she barely spent any time alone with him. They met in September 1959 in Germany and he returned to the US in March of 1960. Then they did not have any contact until 1962, the year of her first visit to him in Memphis, from where they (which included his entire entourage) traveled to Las Vegas. She was 17 then (born May 24, 1945). In December she visited again, for Christmas. In 1963 she first moved in with Elvis' father Vernon and stepmother Dee, but after a while she moved into the main house. During these years, Elvis was away from Memphis a lot, making 3 movies a year in Hollywood or locations such as Hawaii. And during all these years he was also still seeing other women. Priscilla herself said multiple times they were hardly ever alone. According to Priscilla, Elvis had promised to marry her when she was 21. But as her birthday had come and gone and her 22nd birthday was approaching and Elvis still had not kept his word, Priscilla, her parents and the colonel (Tom Parker) visited Elvis on a movie set. Nobody knows what really happened there, except that some time during that visit, Elvis had a mysterious fall in the bathroom. All of a sudden everything escalated and a quick wedding ceremony was arranged on May 1, 1967 (23 days before Priscilla's 22nd birthday) in Las Vegas. The strange thing about that was not just the timing, but also that many people who were close to Elvis were contacted by Parker's people to not attend the wedding. The whole ceremony took just a few minutes and afterwards they were ushered into a room for a press conference. Priscilla soon became pregnant, but halfway through her pregnancy, Elvis already wanted to divorce her. 9 months after the wedding, daughter Lisa Marie was born, after which there was almost no physical relationship between Elvis and Priscilla. By then the 1968 Comeback Special had given a new impulse to his career and from 1969 on he was away from Memphis touring the US for an average of 200 days a year. Both Elvis and Priscilla had affairs during their short marriage. They separated in February of 1972 and Elvis filed for divorce on his 38th birthday, January 8, 1973. The divorce was finalized in October of 1973. Priscilla rejected the name Presley and returned to her maiden name Beaulieu after the divorce, stating she wanted to be her own person. She even started a business under that name. But after Elvis died, she soon changed her name to Beaulieu-Presley and some time after that she dropped her maiden name and started calling herself Presley again. She had several relationships after her divorce. In 1984 she met Marco Garibaldi with whom she had a relationship for 21 years. They separated in 2006. Together they had a son, Navarone, in 1987. She never married Garibaldi, although she had a much longer relationship with him than she'd had with Elvis, possibly because she wanted to hang on to the Presley name. Interesting detail is that Elvis did not mention Priscilla at all in his will; not even as guardian of his only child, Lisa Marie.
Have you noticed that you and people like you are in the minority. With all your loose hateful facts ,you continue to try to convince others that are not obsessed with Elvis in the way you are,that you’re comments are misleading and laughable. How many times have you written the same old book on Priscilla and Elvis and how many converts did you get ? Looks to me that your being ignored. So tell me how’s this hatred working for you ? Because I’m sure,if Elvis heard your comments, he’d be angry with you and would likely not want to have anything to do with you, let alone being called a fan of his. 🤦♀️
OMG This is RU-vid, not college. What is this HUMUNGOUS essay you wrote above? How ridiculously opinionated are you about the lives of people you never even knew? You act as if you were part of the marriage, one of Priscilla sister-wives!🤣😆#getalife
Priscilla is largely the reason we are still talking about Elvis today. She has done tremendous work to ensure a legacy for her ex-husband that almost no other entertainer has. That's why her approval matters.
@@saoirserubio536 No Linda Thompson, no Ginger Alden, no Anita Wood mentions in the movie, from what I've read and heard. So, that's approval of omissions of history.
@@jayeginn5963 From what I understand, this movie is Elvis' story as narrated and seen through the perspective of Tom Parker - not Elvis. Not really a stretch that Parker might not consider Elvis' girlfriends all that relevant to his own agenda - making money.
~ ~ ~ I'm not sure how you can bring 'everyone' together without including the other aspects of American Music, and what contributed to the building of Rock & Roll, as well as Popular Music.... which was Country Music. The two genres R&B and Country coexisted, although Country was likely first (appalachian music, irish jiggs, folk, bluegrass, & so forth) and is the original music of America. R&B did not immediately exist in america the way it was in the 20th century. But the blues did. All of these film trailers & inteviews for Elvis seem to snub the other genres that influenced him. Dean Martin (pop ballad singer) was Elvis' biggest influence, yet every interview Baz only wants to focus on his preference of R&B only. Granted, that is where the controversy is, and it sells better than portarying elvis as a country singer, which he predominantly was in the the early years. If you look at his 1953-1955 Sun Recordings, you will see an equitable balance of Country music right from the start. Elvis did unite us, and he de-segregated our music by blending Country & Blues TOGETHER, which also made R&B more acceptable to mainstream. However, when elvis covered an R&B song, it was different. Compare the original R&B recordings against his covers, and in most cases, that is the difference between R&B and Rock&Roll. Music historians & sociologists have always credited elvis with this, yet in the past decade or so, the story is morphing to exclude Country, Pop in the elvis equation.
How old are you three? Lol 😂 Let’s talk after you go see the movie or when your smart enough to do solid research and make your conclusions from there. And by the way social media doesn’t count. 😂😂😂😂
