so yal may be surprised af to know I’ve never watched Elvis the movie or even any clips even though I’ve been a Austin fan since his earlier days and a bigggh Baz fan since Romeo + Juliet (still so obsessed and Moulin Rouge ahhh so good) I honestly wasn’t sure how’d they portray Elvis and his relationship with black artist of the time and culture and I didn’t want to have to go there bc I adore them both. Plus I surprisingly don’t remember that much press for it but I know that’s more of who I was following. It’s only been the past couple months I’ve been catching up on that press tour and I’m so obsessed I love love lovvvvveeee Baz and Austin tg and I pray they work tg again.

but then eventually I obviously heard such good things about it and kept telling myself to watch it and idk just never did.

sooooooooo here I go yall and I have a feeling I’m about to be even more obsessed 😅🥲😭

also I asked my mom if she wanted to watch and she said “girl I been watched it! Me and grandma watched it together and it was so good, it was like watching an Elvis concert. Put it on I’ll watch it again”

like ok wow girl you just been watched it without me 🙄 also I’m sure she doesn’t realize Austin is the same actor from our show The Shannara Chronicles. Gosh I loved that series when it aired.

so I’ll be back and down bad and even worse for Austin and stil pledging my love for Baz all these years later.

UPDATE BELOW

wow yall just wow

wow wow wowwwwww I’m obsessed

it was so emotional and so visually stunning. I personally loved the respect and appreciation they showed for black culture. I know people are 50/50 on it but I feel like was never told this way, that Elvis did in fact care and appreciate this community he grew up in and felt accepted by. When he needed to get back to himself THAT is where he could go either physically or in song.

wow Austin was wow. He was extraordinary. I love love Brendan but idk Austin just brought a life and emotion to Elvis NO ONE has been able to over all these years. From his happiness to his grief. He was able to bring back a love and appreciation for Elvis. Def Oscar worthy.

and Baz. A real fucking genius. No one could have made this movie but him, not in true Elvis fashion. I think Elvis would have loved the way he shot this. The way Baz told his story. but it is a film sadly I will probably never watch again it was just tooo emotional for me. I’m sucker for people losing their parents young or being taking advantage of and he was!!! And he died sooooooo young I swear my whole life I thought this man passed in his 60s and he was HARDLY 40!! Omg my heart just breaks for him and those who truly loved and cared for him.

I really don’t have a favorite part but i love all the early shots of Elvis and Austin in the pink!! Ah! And the pink lace omg it’s just such a look. Austin pulls off the pink so well. Him running around on Beale Street. The opening scene with Elvis and how we hardly see his face as we’re tryna catching up with him and we mostly just see the people around him. I love how the guy yells out at him fairy or something and you can just see the gf intrigued and then Elvis just goes off and then she’s the first one to scream and then he yells for her to sit down when she jumps up! lmfao I was cracking up. Loved that part.

one of the other parts I loved is how Baz shoots Toms character the colonel when he’s trying to get a first look at young Elvis out back. He truly shot him like the predator he was. That was just ugh I loved that part, young Elvis is w his mama and those who care abt him and he’s nervous and just tryna get a grip and here he is watching and just taking in what he can to use for his own good. Ugh fucking piece of shit.

and the closet scene crying over him mama 😭 that must have been emotional for Austin.

and when they threatened him not to shake a pinky and he does before letting loose and all hell breaks loose.

I can see why Austin ended up in the hospital right after filming it must have taken such a toll on his body I can’t imagine what Elvis was actually feeling and sadly I understand why he passed so young.

I mean 10/10!! stunning

loooooveeeed this scene!! And how they shot the focus.

I have no business writing this right now, because I have tons of other things I need to be writing and finishing, but really quick... Right now, I have this weird connection type feeling with my ex and I don't like it. We haven't talked in ages because we're bitter towards one another, but a couple nights this past week, he's been in my dreams, which also hasn't happened in a very long time.  (fuck, "How to Make A Heart Hollow" by Sparks the Rescue just came on my shuffle. wtfmaaan) Anyway, the first dream was occurring in a series of dark buildings/places. In one of them, where I was sitting, I got up and walked across the room of people. I felt someone grabbing me from behind as if to pick me up. So I sort of screamed and hit him with a text book when I saw who he was. I asked him why he was talking to me since we don't talk and all he could say was "Alexis, I love you. I've always loved you and I've been waiting to tell you that. If I could love anyway this much, it can only be you." I was stunned, as were my thoughts when I woke up the next morning. but I dismissed it, and moved on. The next night was fine, but the night after, there he was again. We were outside, talking, just the two of us. and we were hugging, unable to let go of one another. I don't know what the hell my subconscience is doing it or furthermore why it's doing it, because I don't have feelings for him any longer, but today took the cake. This year, we have a class together fourth period. We never even look at each other in that class, but we were typing up our essays and he was having some pointless conversation with this girl I know, next to him, about his dog. I saw him, from the corner of my eye, trying to steal glances at me. but I ignored it as I do everything else he does, and went on typing.  until of course I hear, "Alexis, isn't my dog mentally retarded?"

What I wish I said was "aren't you?" but I was too busy caught off guard by the fact that my name actually came from his lips. so I just said "Nooo, that's mean."  why the fuck is this happening, though?
