Provident Avid Elvis' Tom Hanks Choice Avoids A Hated Music Biopic Mistake
Musical biopics often make the mistake of fudging the facts surrounding their story and relying on name recognition to sell tickets, but Elvis avoids this issue through a clever choice involving Tom Hanks’s Colonel Tom Parker. Elvis follows a similar formula of past music biopics, featuring two-and-a-half hours of songs and events familiar to fans, but it differs by telling the story of Elvis Presley (played by Austin Butler) through the eyes of Colonel Parker rather than centering it around Presley himself. This stylistic choice adds another layer to the film that masks aspects that would have otherwise been seen as distracting mistakes.
