Elvis 4K 2022

For the first time in two years we went to the movies. We couldn't not go, because it was the premiere of Elvis. And Elvis is one of the loves of my life that I never cheat on.

I think anyone who wants more specifically about Elvis should watch "Elvis. The Early Years." Because it's not really about Elvis. And not even about his manager and eternal shadow Colonel Parker, played by Tom Hanks. Though, of course, his figure is at the center of the narrative all the time, unrealistically vivid, uneven and grotesque. Parker's parallel with Mephistopheles is all too obvious (even the contract, on which, like blood, wine pours.). In addition, a closer look reveals other "Easter eggs," such as King's "It."

The film is both a biography and a parable. On the one hand, about the understandable incompatibility of money and inspiration. And on the other - that both the rebellious Elvis and the calculating Parker ("The Colonel" says to Elvis, "I am you.") cannot live in one person at the same time, one of them is bound to destroy the other. It's also about how love kills. Even if it's too mutual.
