Classic Albums - Series 1 Ep. 7 - Elvis Presley - Elvis Presley

iconic but boring

06 December 2008

Elvis as a movie star was a no go for me. Despite his efforts, he wasn’t cut out for the movie business. But as a singer, he made his mark and even today he is celebrated every year. I’m not an Elvis fan and if you are a fan of Elvis then this is probably more of a watch for you than for non fans like myself. I can’t deny that his music is not iconic – his legion of his fans will testify to that, but I found the overall film slightly boring. There are some interesting moments like how he dealt with the criticism but it gets let down a little by moments which I wanted to hear more about. Like why did some people think that Elvis’s music was a bad influence which I don’t think it addresses properly as much as I thought it would. Watch this if you are a fan.
