About this deal

So many tales (apocryphal or otherwise), so much footage, so many fans and so many who will claim to already know the life of the man simply known as ‘The King’. of course, the plethora of music cues), and serves up a strong dynamic range without necessarily making viewers adjust their volume levels more than Surround usage is nicely drawn, coming alive for the performances, with the ambience of the crowd and the various stages spread around and above the listener. There are various spot effects that make full use of the speaker array thanks to Luhrmann’s high energy montages and use of visual effects, but my only criticism of the sound mix here is that there is such a difference between the musical performances and the rest of the film with regard to its use of the entire speaker array that I always wanted just a little more ambience and atmosphere from the speakers during the many off-stage moments….

Extras: Language(s): English, French, Spanish, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Subtitles: Danish, Finnish, French, Norwegian, Spanish, Interactive Menu, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital The first movie that he remembers being a passionate fan of was the first Toy Story movie. This led to a love of animated movies and television series. In addition to classic Disney animation and the Looney Tunes shorts, Adam is also a big fan of animation from the 1990s. This includes TV shows like Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and Goof Troop. He is also a big fan of shows like The Simpsons and Futurama. The mixing of the songs is nigh on perfect – the bass and its use of the LFE channel is tight and deep, but fast and never resorts to booming or overt spot blasts of LFE. The midrange has a fantastic body and depth to it, giving the detail of each instrument and Butler’s energetic and raspy vocals (complete with all the little details of a live performance) room to be easily discerned, while the crisp highs puncture through with clarity and crispness. It’s a wonderfully musical mix. In terms of audio quality, this Dolby Atmos mix almost feels like you’re getting to be at an Elvis concert during the latter half of the film comprised of the 1970s Las Vegas performances. This has some excellent use of the height channels that really help drive the music all throughout this very unconventional music biopic. Some use of modern music might catch some’s attention and feel a bit off but I personally found it to work. It’s a sound mix that’s as much larger than life as Elvis was, in my own personal opinion.

performance by Austin Butler carries much of the film's weight and momentum. Sadly the show falls short in other areas, including Luhrmann's Fit for a King: The Style of Elvis (8:02) - Costume designer Catherine Martin, Butler, and others take center stage for an

The venue was the Louisiana Hayride, a Shreveport music hall showcasing an incendiary new talent known around town as the “Hillbilly Cat.” Once the Colonel lays eyes on that baby-faced hipster, Presley’s fate is cast. Tom Hanks plays the Dutch-born Parker as a Machiavellian Foghorn Leghorn, equipped with a cowboy hat, an unknowable accent, and a body suit that seems to have been inflated with Flubber gas—it’s a wonder he doesn’t bounce from scene to scene. There is only 49 minutes worth of extras here, not counting the 47 minutes of musical selections, but that doesn't really count, since it's just the movie. This collects talking head interviews of the cast and crew talking about making the film. The story here is told from a very unique perspective with narrative all throughout from the view of Elvis’s infamous manager “Colonel Tom Parker” (portrayed here by Tom Hanks). We see Elvis’s childhood upbringing, growing up in poverty in Tupelo, Mississippi, and then eventually moving to Memphis, Tennessee. Also, you’ll see Elvis really did have love at an early age for attending and sometimes even sneaking into gospel tents to hear the music, which influenced him dearly. As a teenager and throughout Elvis is portrayed by actor Austin Butler. During his later teenage years, you’ll get to see some of Elvis’s struggle to work a job as an electrician (appropriately enough for a company called “Crown”), and see that when he’s not working he is listening to music around the historic Beale Street in Memphis, where the Blues was born. the era in which it represents -- more than 1970s than anything else, which is when the bulk of the film takes place -- this formula genuinely producesSo, that means first with the 1950s, then with the 1960s and 1970s decades the lenses changed to give it a unique visual style. The movie then received a 4K DI (digital intermediate) master. Luhrmann’s merry-go-round reaches its dizzying apex just when Presley is on his way down; the singer’s fall and inevitable resurgence provide the most exhilarating moments in the film. Luhrmann creates a veritable sizzle reel for The Sixties, embracing the candified Technicolor and pop-art glitz of films that wore their shallowness like a badge of honor; overproduced and underdressed sex farces like What a Way to Go and A Guide for the Married Man. The archetypal Elvis movie was just as colorful and even more inconsequential than those films, but assembly line products like Girls! Girls! Girls and Blue Hawaii were slogs—even with nifty musical interludes like Return to Sender and Can’t Help Falling in Love. Churning out such tripe for producer Hal Wallis would take its toll on the singer’s reputation (he cranked out 31 films in 12 years) but Luhrmann makes Presley’s Hollywood tenure look as vibrant and kinetic as Godard’s A Woman is A Woman. All along the way, you’ll feel a very deep amount of bass in the speakers as well as strong LFE coming from the subwoofer. This sound mix is just massive and really pulls you right into the story as well as most obviously the unforgettable musical experience. This is one of the finer Dolby Atmos mixes that I’ve heard. Dare I say, this is a mix fit for a King.
