Baz Lurhman I think does something I think a lot of directors try to do but can never achieve. Baz cares. He cares about the way his film looks, the amazing music that will stick in ur head from 2022 till now, and he cares about his story. And not being afraid to put someone in a bad light. That’s why Elvis works so well and is truly the snubbed Oscar movie of all time. Elvis would not be what it is without baz.

As a big Elvis fan I have to say that I adore this movie and I couldn't have asked for a better portrayal of him ...when I watched it for the first time I felt so happy and relieved , finally something that was made with love and admiration for him and his life !
