According to the reports, Elvis Presley had a silly side, which joined his charm.
In a new talk with People’s magazineBaz Luhrmann sprouted on the musical legend and said he had a lot to learn about the King of Rock and Roll.
Upon entering his new project, Luhrmann learned a lot about Rockstar.
“The documentaries about Elvis tend to be people who talk about it: ‘Well, Elvis is this,” the Australian filmmaker began.
For the unreserved, Presley died in 1977 at age 42.
Since then, his life has been subject to innumerable biopics and documentaries.
A recent one included Epic: Elvis Presley in concert which premiered on September 6 at the Toronto International Film Festival. It consists of file images taken during the 1969 period of Presley at the Las Vegas International Hotel.
In the words of Tiff CEO Cameron Bailey The biographical film focuses on “on the musicality of Presley and its interactions with band members and singers. What is revealed is its deep knowledge of the gospel, blues and country traditions, and its instinctive feeling of finding the best arrangements and rhythm for their songs.”
Meanwhile, Luhrmann recalled: “As we go through the material, we recognize that we have it at its best”, adding “singing as never seen before … we find 40 minutes of [footage] Of him really talking about his life, he himself. “
“People don’t like Elvis,” he said as he added: “I was a little surprised by the level of [audience members] Related to the screen as if it were alive. “
The younger collaborators of the director previously thought of Presley as more than “a Halloween costume,” he continued.
However, while looking at the new images, “they could not overcome [how] Goofy, he is and how fun it is. And you have the feeling of its vulnerability, that it is particularly empathic, ”he concluded.
