Also erased, as it happens, is Ann-Margret, his Viva Las Vegas co-star, with whom he had a poignant, illicit relationship for about a year.

But the film erases his actual Republican sympathies.

This version of Elvis, with retrofitted liberal sensitivities, is always breaking off what he’s doing to look stunned at the TV reporting the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F Kennedy, and to be soulfully devastated at the loss of these American icons.

Luhrmann is at all times concerned to rescue Elvis from irony and failure and suffering.Īnd how about that legendary encounter with the one US president that Elvis really did admire – Richard Nixon – when the King was cordially received in 1970 at the White House because he demanded presidential action on the country’s infatuation with degenerate lefties like the Beatles? Nothing. But we don’t see the yucky burger binges or the adult diapers. He stays sweaty but reasonably svelte until almost the very end, when we see a decorous hint of flab. There is, for example, not really any such thing as Fat Elvis here. But otherwise it sticks to a defanged version of the script. There are some tiny unpredictable touches – such as a hint that Elvis secretly inflamed young gay men in the States as well as straight women. We get the basics of Presley’s career: the early days of hardship, the profound influence of black music, the blues and gospel his days on the hayseed country circuit before signing for Parker, the huge Elvismania success, the shrewd decision to calm moral-majority fears by doing two years military service in Germany, marriage to Priscilla, the bubblegum movies, the televised 1968 Comeback Special and the long Vegas goodbye. Colonel Tom is a kind of repeating cameo in Elvis’s life and Luhrmann is even less interested in Parker’s inner self than in Elvis’s – the Colonel’s own wretched post-Elvis life and death are shrugged off in the closing credit titles. he can act a little bit dense at times I admit, but I do love that bastard.But Luhrmann is clearly unwilling or unable to explore the dysfunctional Jekyll-and-Hyde relationship between the Colonel and Elvis in case any sort of dark or sad mood predominates. He isn't my type (rather far from it, and in retrospect, we are very much polar opposites). He knows and I know we aren't in the slightest bit interested in each other obviously, but it's that slow and gradual bond that has been nurtured over time. He has earned that trust though over the years, it's something that's unspoken and mutual between us. I sat on his lap when we were again, horsing around.

I remember one time, when we were watching Die Hard 3 on my bed in my house when we hung out, I've laid my head over his lap (like what those couples do), wasn't even bothered by it in the slightest though he squirmed out of the bed because I had taken too much room and I was unknowingly pushing him off the bed lol (he got back in). He on occasion, likes to horse around by tickling me (which he knows I'll flail my arms around because I'm that ticklish and he knows I love being tickled), comes up from behind to give me a tight hug, call me by my cringe-worthy nickname and let's say we have done things that may have blurred the lines of a typical bromance. Yup, with my best friend all the way from HS since 8th grade! However, our friendship (still going strong!) of 6 years has always been strictly platonic.
