Austin Butler still playing Elvis
27 January 2024
Was really looking forward to this but thus far disappointed in casting, plot and computer generated scenes. With Spielberg and Hanks behind it doubly disappointing- since one expects more. So wanted to very much like it. Tanner was great in Boys in the Boat but maybe the character in this is just not that likable. At any rate, will keep watching. Hope it improves . Doesn't seem to have any depth. Seems to be a pseudo imitation of a war movie. Where are the GI haircuts - even the real Elvis had one. Very one dimensional, predictable so far. Austin said he only had a week off after filming Elvis before he started this movie. Seems like he is playing Elvis in WW II.

Acting was brilliant
14 January 2023
Why isn't the topic of women's oppression a topic for a film? Should women just get over it? Why is war, civil rights etc.? It's an appropriate topic because it's history. Should women just get over it? More importantly, women's oppression is recent history as well as global history and every woman has her story. And this story was so well done. The story especially came to life with the comic elements and tragedy of the human experience. The music was especially well chosen. The pace was superb and the beauty of Paris was a plus. The ending may have been predictable but the script and acting were brilliant. Worth seeing .Just a beautiful, moving film.
