People born after 1970 are probably too young to appreciate the beauty and love this movie portrayed and the sad times of the era. You have to have been there. Elvis was 9 years older than me and he was a god and still is King. He was in the Army not the Air Force. (which is curious) They did change many things as is said beforehand in the movie. People of later generations most likely will not appreciate the full aspect of the late 50's and 60's excitement and turmoil and freedom achieved not having lived it, but can truly appreciate the turmoil of the times today. They are/were both dramatic and upheaval times for our Country. I found the movie dynamic and profound in memory of a troubled and loving human being who loved his music and was controlled by his fame and manager and sadly drugs. I think Tom Hanks and Austin Bulter should get hightest awards for their performances in bringing to life the two people - Elvis and Tom Parker. I think it's amazing how they can make a skinny person look heavy at the end and Unchained Melody did me in. Elvis was also a pawn of the doctors and managers who gave him drugs to perform they were much to fault. They would not let him rest. Elvis wanted to fulful his dream and he did somewhat but got very lost along the way. A sad movie and sad life. People either loved him or were afraid of him. Heartbreaking movie with wonderful Elvis songs!
