Obvious Fan Fiction
21 January 2024
A friend told me about this film and had totally believed it. I will say it was well researched and has a lot of great archival footage. It is interesting as a hypothetical portrayal: What if Elvis had faked his death and were found alive? What would he say in an interview? But the problem here is the acting. "Elvis" sounds like he's reading a book. He does not speak like a normal person would speak extemporaneously. He over-pronounces words and phrases and pauses in all the wrong places, as does the interviewer. He says things about his thoughts and feelings that no one would say unless asked directly. Others have pointed out he doesn't have the voice of a 77 year old man. Additionally, a Tennessean living under cover in California is not going to still have a thick Tennessee accent. It may be worth a watch if you're interested, but it's pure fantasy. I give it 3 stars for the history in spite of the misleading pretense and bad acting.
