A wild move from Tom Hanks’ Elvis character that actually happened in real life

The new film by Baz Luhrmann Elvis it’s a story that follows a bigger-than-life star with a bigger-than-life style . It is not a criticism to say this. Elvis it can get too dramatic at times . Of course, as with all biopic, not everything we see actually happened or happened the way we see it. But there is something incredibly bright and evil that we see Tom Hanks’ colonel doing, Tom Parker, and it really happened. The king’s manager actually produced buttons that said “I hate Elvis”.

in a scene by Elvis shortly after the title character released his first hit single and started becoming a celebrity, we see Colonel Tom Parker, played by experts Tom Hanks in a rare “bad boy” role. , takes advantage of this celebrity in a number of branded products. Elvis’s room is filled with posters, badges, and anything you can think of to put a name or picture on.

Elvis’ mother discovers that in addition to making “I Love Elvis” buttons, Parker produced buttons with the opposite feeling, why not make money on both sides? like him Radio Canada reports, this is not an exaggeration.

It shows a rather progressive spirit on the part of Colonel Tom Parker. The man knew that his star would be divisive. While many young people loved Elvis, the older generation did not. Although he was obviously very attractive to women, this would potentially have made him less attractive to men.

I knew there would be people who would not like Elvis and would be so attracted to him that they would want him to be known. I knew that if the “I Love Elvis” buttons became popular, it would be someone he would try to make money by producing the opposite button, so he made sure it was him.

Colonel Tom Parker would probably be comfortable promoting something in today’s pop culture. Today, people define themselves by both likes and dislikes, perhaps even more so. Marvel Talks o Star Wars seems to be driven by hate more than love . Opinions seem to be stronger than ever about anything in the media, and as a result, for every successful film, there are those who are openly critical. If Elvis were performing today, you can be sure there would be people buying those “I hate Elvis” buttons.

Elvis However, it may not be the perfectly true story of Elvis and Colonel Tom Parker Elvis’s family was quite supportive . There is little discussion now that Parker didn’t have a dark side, so his decision to pursue his own star’s hatred may not be all that surprising. For what it’s worth, when it comes Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis movie seems to be a lot of love and even less hate.
