Elvis

The hot dog of films, I know vaguely what it’s made from and it makes me feel unsettled, as well as that it’s not good for me it doesn’t give me any real sustanance…but I like hotdogs every now and then and I KNOW I’ll be eating hot dogs again. Ok guys I dig it, he wasn’t too good a guy, and the film obviously doesn’t show the narsty and immoral things he did, it’s like if Oppenheimer was only about how cool the bomb was without the ramifications of creating dangerous nuclear arms. Some films are great because they have a lot to say and sometimes films are great because they take you on a journey, this film takes you on one of my favourite journeys, and while I can agree the there are a great deal of flaws, it’s like listening to the greatest hits album instead of actually listening to the artists full library, but the greatest hits are the greatest hits for a reason. This isn’t about showing Elvis as a person (though it should be) this is about showing us the myth of his life and it does that spectacularly… despite all its pacing issues. Idk I’m writing this like 6 beers deep and I seriously fw Elvis
