Watched Elvis (2022). Currently on HBOMax and rental / purchase streaming options.
Movie provided the cliff notes (key points) of his life, but the focus is more on what Colonel Parker did to Elvis (both good and more so the bad) and how that led to Elvis’s death.
It’s a good movie as long as you are not looking for a documentary, but leaves you wanting to research a bit more as compared to a “feel good” ending.
I grew up with Elvis being played in the household and knew his story in advance of watching this movie (Colonel Parker was a POS). Yet I still found this movie entertaining with the understanding Hollywood tweaks how some of the events occurred for the sake of entertainment value.
