He not only changed the history of music in America but also touched the lives of countless people around the globe. Although he seemed to have it all fame, wealth, success, and endless adoring fans, Presley's fate led to addiction and depression after being pushed beyond his limits and taken advantage of by the people around him. Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis is an in-depth look at whom the most famous man in the world actually was. Starting at the beginning of Presley's life, when he was just a young boy living in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the south and getting introduced to gospel and soul music. Music was his superpower, and the connection he felt to it was unstoppable. Despite leading forces in the 1950s telling Presley his music was disgraceful, he never let that stop him. The love he felt from his fans was greater than any feeling he had ever known, and that mutual admiration ultimately led him to become the icon everyone knows him as today. Austin Butler stars as Presley himself in Elvis, giving the most compelling and authentic performance of his career. Butler was able to embody and nail Presley's mannerisms, so much so that the Presley family, Priscilla (Elvis' ex-wife and Lisa Marie (his daughter) made statements saying that Butler's performance was the most accurate portrayal they had seen and that Presley himself would be proud if he could watch it. Tom Hanks plays the film's antagonist Colonel Tom Parker, Presley's infamous manager who is often blamed for his addiction problems. Not only did Parker prevent Presley from touring overseas, but he financially abused the singer for years. Elvis was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Actor and Best Picture. While the film didn't walk away with wins in these categories, it remains one of the most celebrated movies of 2022.
