There's two main things to highlight about this documentary. First the amount of love and admiration shown by every guest who talked about Elvis, and the way they make you feel just as excited as them. And secondly the passion Elvis had for what he really loved.
I would also like to highlight how incredibly important he was for the music scene around the whole world and how we should appreciate it more nowadays. He wasn't just and incredible showman as we are forced to remember him but also a great singer and a hell of a guitarist! The fact that he wasn't able to write his own songs shouldn't be a reason to underestimate him but to understand a little bit more his frustration.
As said on the documentary his story ends up being a modern tragedy...

Watched this for a school project and I’m seriously glad I did. Elvis has always been one of my favorite singers.

all roads lead to bob dylan and the beatles
jokes aside, its really upsetting that elvis spent so much of his career doing things he didnt want. didnt even get a happy ending so that sucks even more.
