Austin Butler Elvis

Butler was chosen to star as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s biographical film of Elvis in 2019. The movie garnered the longest-standing ovation of the year at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, lasting twelve minutes, after its screening. The movie follows the life of Elvis Presley, an American rock and roll singer and actor, while he was under Colonel Tom Parker’s supervision. Former Elvis Presley manager Colonel Tom Parker suffers a heart attack on January 20, 1997, and is taken to a Las Vegas hospital. Parker, suffering from a crippling gambling addiction, narrates how he first met “The King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Elvis, who was raised primarily by his devoted mother Gladys, grows up in Tupelo, Mississippi’s impoverished neighborhood. He finds comfort in music and the adventures of Captain Marvel Jr. in comic books.

His interest in Beale Street’s African-American music leads to him being teased by his peers after relocating to Memphis with his parents. At the time, Parker, a carnival “huckster,” manages country singer Hank Snow. However, after listening to “That’s All Right,” Parker, who initially thought Elvis was black, realized Elvis has crossover potential. Following his intense sex appeal during a “Louisiana Hayride” performance that evening, Parker asks Elvis to tour with him and persuades Elvis to give him control over his career. This marks the beginning of Elvis Presley’s meteoric rise, as the family is lifted out of poverty, he transfers from Sun Records to RCA Records, and his father Vernon is named business manager of Elvis Presley Enterprises.

The opinions of the vocalist among the local populace are split. Sen. James Eastland, a segregationist Southern Democrat from Mississippi, summons Parker for an informal hearing and looks into his strange past because he believes that Elvis’s music will corrupt white youth and incite racial animosity. Elvis risks legal ramifications as he defies authorities’ warnings and engages in suggestive dancing during a show. Parker convinces authorities to enlist Elvis in the American Army rather than prosecute him. After completing basic camp, Elvis returns home to find his mother dead from alcohol poisoning.

Elvis meets 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, the teenage daughter of an American Air Force pilot, while serving in West Germany. Following his release, he starts a cinematic career and eventually gets married to Priscilla. Elvis is devastated by the 1968 assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. as the popular culture of the 1960s passes him by. Parker wants to sing more politically charged songs, but for now he has committed to a family-friendly Christmas television show in which he will sing nothing but corny, feel-good songs. Together with Steve Binder, Elvis reimagines the special. Some of his performance selections, such as the concluding song “If I Can Dream,” combine political commentary with a retrospective of his previous hits. Sponsors from the business world are furious and threatening legal action, and Parker feels Elvis has been “brainwashed by hippies.” All the same, the show is a huge hit.

Elvis then starts his musical tours and does a headline show at the International Hotel, the biggest showroom in Las Vegas. Parker strengthens his grip on Elvis’s life when he turns down Elvis’s request for a global tour. Parker manipulates Elvis into accepting a contract for a five-year casino residency in Las Vegas, driven by his gambling debts. When Elvis’s prescription drug addiction and bad conduct overwhelm him, Priscilla files for divorce on his 38th birthday, taking his daughter Lisa Marie with her. Elvis tries to fire Parker after learning that he is an illegal immigrant who is stateless and cannot leave the country.

Parker then convinces Elvis of their mutually beneficial relationship and tells Vernon that the family owes him $8.5 million in debt that has accrued over the years; despite the fact that the two don’t often interact afterward, Parker stays on as Elvis’ manager. Elvis, worn out from a nonstop demanding tour schedule, confides in Priscilla that he fears oblivion upon passing away because he feels he has accomplished nothing significant. Parker concludes his memory by recalling one of his last performances, which took place on June 21, 1977. When a fat and pallid Elvis performs “Unchained Melody” in Rapid City, South Dakota, he is unable to stand and is met with wild cheers at the end of his performance. Parker believes that Elvis’s true death was not from a drug overdose or heart attack, as some people think, but rather from love for his fans.

In addition, a closing statement states that Parker’s financial exploitation of Elvis Presley was made public by a slew of litigation in the 1980s; Parker settled out of court and severed his connection to the Presley family after failing to establish his stateless person status. Decades after his passing, millions of people around the world still adore Elvis Presley, the best-selling solo artist in history. Parker loses the remainder of his hard-earned wealth to gambling at the same time, leaving him destitute and alone in the hospital.
