We reviewed this Region free UK Ultra HD Blu-ray release on a JVC-DLA N5 Ultra HD 4K projector and a Panasonic DP-UB9000 Dolby Vision/HDR10 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray player. That all being said, I won’t tell you the whole story here in my review of Elvis Presley’s life, in fact, the film doesn’t entirely do so 100% accurately, but I will say that this film manages to do one fantastic job of telling the story [as best as possible] and is an absolute must-see film for any fan of Elvis or those curious about the man, his life, and the music he performed. only quibble is that it seems mixed a few decibels lower than reference level, which includes the LFE channel, but listeners most will find this to be a

In terms of audio quality, this Dolby Atmos mix almost feels like you’re getting to be at an Elvis concert during the latter half of the film comprised of the 1970s Las Vegas performances. This has some excellent use of the height channels that really help drive the music all throughout this very unconventional music biopic. Some use of modern music might catch some’s attention and feel a bit off but I personally found it to work. It’s a sound mix that’s as much larger than life as Elvis was, in my own personal opinion. Bigger Than Life: The Story of Elvis (HD, 23 Mins.) - The main cast and crew discuss making this unorthodox biopic of Elvis with all of its amazement and hardships. The venue was the Louisiana Hayride, a Shreveport music hall showcasing an incendiary new talent known around town as the “Hillbilly Cat.” Once the Colonel lays eyes on that baby-faced hipster, Presley’s fate is cast. Tom Hanks plays the Dutch-born Parker as a Machiavellian Foghorn Leghorn, equipped with a cowboy hat, an unknowable accent, and a body suit that seems to have been inflated with Flubber gas—it’s a wonder he doesn’t bounce from scene to scene.

Essentially, what Baz Luhrmann describes is that they used different lenses for the three different decades that are primarily focused on Elvis Presley’s life here. The director actually said the following (below) in one of the extras included with this release. Bigger Than Life: The Story of ELVIS“ (22 minutes, 23 seconds – HD) focuses on the man himself, Elvis Presley, and how this unconventional biopic pays tribute to his legacy as well as tells the story of his crooked manager. Here you’ll get lots of behind-the-scenes footage, on-set footage, clips from the film, footage from Graceland (in Memphis) as well as Elvis’s birthplace (Tupelo), and interviews with the following people: Baz Luhrmann (director, producer, writer), Austin Butler (Elvis), Tom Hanks ( “Colonel Tom Parker”), Catherine Martin (costume designer, production designer, producer), Schuyler Weiss (producer), Gail Berman (producer), Yola (“Sister Rosetta Tharpe”), Kevin Harrison, Jr. (B.B. King), Polly Bennett (movement coach, choreographer), Mark Coulier (prosthetics designer), Shane Thomas (hair and makeup designer), Jason Baird (prosthetics supervisor), Olivia DeJonge (Priscilla), Mandy Walker (director of photography), and Dacre Montgomery (Steve Binder). unfortunate, since large portions of the story are told from his perspective -- that it almost derails the entire production when he's seen or Added a slow down at the end of the left ramp, before reaching the upper flipper. Thanks chokeee for the tips.

It's clear he was a one-of-a-kind prototype musician who was there to change music forever. Unfortunately, like a lot of talented artists, they are easily manipulated by others which resulted in Tom Parker coming aboard and orchestrating a decades-long con on Elvis that prevented him from doing what he wanted. This ultimately led to his turmoil in marriage, his addiction to drugs, and lastly his untimely, sad death. There are great moments of rebellion, his love for his child and mother, and wanting to make the best music and live performance there ever was, which Luhrmann also spotlights as well. But with its long run time and constant flashy sequences, the film can inch away from the story at hand. Elvis has survived the down-conversion to 1080p surprisingly well, especially considering it contains more than 2 1/2 hours of HD content and a fleecing him out of untold millions of dollars. This kind of gaudy approach might suit Presley's tumultuous career path during the 1970s but Luhrmann Luhrmann’s merry-go-round reaches its dizzying apex just when Presley is on his way down; the singer’s fall and inevitable resurgence provide the most exhilarating moments in the film. Luhrmann creates a veritable sizzle reel for The Sixties, embracing the candified Technicolor and pop-art glitz of films that wore their shallowness like a badge of honor; overproduced and underdressed sex farces like What a Way to Go and A Guide for the Married Man. The archetypal Elvis movie was just as colorful and even more inconsequential than those films, but assembly line products like Girls! Girls! Girls and Blue Hawaii were slogs—even with nifty musical interludes like Return to Sender and Can’t Help Falling in Love. Churning out such tripe for producer Hal Wallis would take its toll on the singer’s reputation (he cranked out 31 films in 12 years) but Luhrmann makes Presley’s Hollywood tenure look as vibrant and kinetic as Godard’s A Woman is A Woman.

Elvis 4K Video

The story here is told from a very unique perspective with narrative all throughout from the view of Elvis’s infamous manager “Colonel Tom Parker” (portrayed here by Tom Hanks). We see Elvis’s childhood upbringing, growing up in poverty in Tupelo, Mississippi, and then eventually moving to Memphis, Tennessee. Also, you’ll see Elvis really did have love at an early age for attending and sometimes even sneaking into gospel tents to hear the music, which influenced him dearly. As a teenager and throughout Elvis is portrayed by actor Austin Butler. During his later teenage years, you’ll get to see some of Elvis’s struggle to work a job as an electrician (appropriately enough for a company called “Crown”), and see that when he’s not working he is listening to music around the historic Beale Street in Memphis, where the Blues was born. Equipped with a default Dolby Atmos mix on both the 4K and Blu-ray (which, as always, automatically folds down to a Dolby TrueHD 7.1 core if you We see the world of Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) through the eyes of Col. Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). He’s looking for an act that’ll set him for life. He hears about Elvis, a young singer whose musical style was influenced by R&B and gospel. Parker, who witnesses a crowd of young girls lose their minds at a concert, sets out to become Elvis’ manager and thus allowing Elvis to provide for his parents. The rest of the film is, well, things we already know. There’s the controversy of his “hip thrusting” on stage and cleaning up his act for television. And, later on, we meet Priscilla (Olivia DeJonge) and fathering his daughter, Lisa Marie. His movies, the drugs, the weight gain and his final years in Las Vegas. There weren’t a lot of creative liberties taken here, and that’s either the film’s strongest asset or its weakest link.

From its opening logos, you’re under no illusion that this is pure Luhrmann – he might have been away from our screens since 2013’s ‘ The Great Gatsby’, but he’s lost nothing of his visual sensibilities: the entire film is a whirligig of kaleidoscopic images, split-screen montages stitched together with machine gun editing and a kinetic sense of motion that never lets up across its 159-minute run-time. It's breathless, especially in its opening act, where time periods slip and slide across each other as Parker’s narration gets the audience up to speed with Presley, and it could so easily disorientate… but it somehow seems a perfect match for the sequin-festooned, gaudily glamorous excess of Elvis’s life that, together with its established structure of taking part in Parker’s drug-induced mind, presents Presley in almost the only way that it could. The mixing of the songs is nigh on perfect – the bass and its use of the LFE channel is tight and deep, but fast and never resorts to booming or overt spot blasts of LFE. The midrange has a fantastic body and depth to it, giving the detail of each instrument and Butler’s energetic and raspy vocals (complete with all the little details of a live performance) room to be easily discerned, while the crisp highs puncture through with clarity and crispness. It’s a wonderfully musical mix. ability, stage presence, dramatic moments? All mostly accounted for and, when paired with the inarguably interesting life and career path of Elvis, an image evocative of a classic cinematic appearance. With the addition of artificial film grain, the illusion is even more convincing. Still, this isElvis” [2022] was one very unique biopic that managed to tell the story of Elvis Presley and his crooked manager in a different way than we had ever experienced in the past. Director, producer, and co-writer Baz Luhrmann has truthfully put together a great film here and star Austin Butler surely “gave it his all” playing Elvis as did even Tom Hanks, playing his less than likable manager [ “Colonel Tom Parker”] in the film. It's certainly worth a watch either way, if only based on the strength of its source material. The colorful costumes and production design by added an extra help to complete the "Blue Suede Shoes" loop. Thanks rhoogeveen to remind me to add those extra lines to the script. Dialogue, starting with narration, is delivered distinctly from the center channel and mixed perfectly balanced, with zero need for any volume adjustments to be made throughout. Sound effects get mixed into the front and rear channels, not just the height channels (again, as mentioned) and it creates one massive audio experience here. Again, fitting for the person the film is about.
