This Is Elvis (1981)
excellent if sad portrait
9 July 2000
This is a wonderful documentary about the rise and villification of rock 'n' roll (with people's attitudes very similar to those toward rap music today), our country in the '50s and '60s and most especially about Elvis Presley. Any retrospective of his career will always leave the viewer sad - he starts out totally natural and instinctive and ends up doing a Liberace-type act. The clips of the concert six weeks before his death are downright chilling and leave one wondering how he lived another six weeks.
