1971 

An analysis on how the Garfield movie fails to represent the characters it is adapting, especially the women, by removing their best characteristics.

The new biopic 'Elvis' highlights the beginning and end of the career of this rock and roll legend. The audience is taken on this journey knowing the tragic ending but not so much about what led him there. A large topic of discussion is the influences on Elvis that made him who he was as a singer, musician, and performer, which were blues, gospel, and country. Many of the songs that rose him to fame were songs by Black artists he heard growing up in primarily Black settings.

This is not McDonald’s.  This is something different. 

So do I recommend that people see this movie, yes 100%, but do I think they are going to come out of it with 80 hot takes, yes 100%.

Overall this movie was an easy watch, but by no means a worthwhile watch.

The power of a talented female director like Patty Jenkins and an overall diverse cast is what makes this film worth watching for me.
