#plus i still love how baz zooms in on the VICE in service on the sun records sign when elvis is talking about leaving them for rca records

[feydfuckernation]

man u rly start to notice new things every time u see this movie like. i went again today (just by myself) and more than anything else i can’t stop thinking about how they show elvis singing are you lonesome tonight two separate times: once after they want to cancel him for being lewd, n then again later on whenever he’s up in the international, alone and miserable. idk why it hit so hard but it did and it just. there’s always new things you discover whenever you watch it.

#i also can't stop thinking about how they used like. idk how to explain it but coin sounds whenever elvis is in vegas tryna fire the colonel #just a neat little detail based on his greed and his gambling habits #plus i still love how baz zooms in on the VICE in service on the sun records sign when elvis is talking about leaving them for rca records #i just really love this movie a lot okay #somehow it keeps getting better and better every time i see it #i still get chills in all the same places too #mostly trouble n when they introduce the vegas years w that mashup of see see rider and that's alright mama #so many things to think abt in that second and third half when everything calms down a bit #n dont get me wrong: i love the chaos of the first half #really fits the way his life got upended the way it did as he skyrocketed to fame #but there's something so intimate abt that back half that really gives it the gravitas it needs to rly stick the landing #at this point i'm gonna be thinking abt this movie for the next forever lmao #baz lurhman rly did a good w this one #personal #elvis 2022
