Elvis the Movie 2022!

 

Yesterday Sapphire Sisters met for lunch and then went to the afternoon movie of Elvis! We went to the theatre with the reclining lazy boys!  The air conditioning was a plus.  

I missed this picture as I went right out of the theatre after the movie ended to get organized for tomorrow.

The movie was fabulous!  I read it received a 10 minute standing ovation at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.   I also read an article that Priscilla and Lisa Maria saw the movie and said it was factual and they both agreed it was very good.  The cast and directors were welcomed at Graceland to meet the living Presley's.  

I won't spoil it but there were things I didn't know about Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker.  The costumes and make up were excellent and I think Tom Hanks deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of Colonel Tom.  Austin Butler played Elvis and did all the singing.  He was exceptional.  It was interesting to see he was friends with BB King and other great country and gospel stars.   It was in the south and race played a huge part in his early life.  

A movie well with seeing and going with the girls made it so much fun!   I've promised Cec I'll take him to Top Gun when we return from vacation.  

Now back to packing.
