Watched movie #124 The King. A musical road trip across the country exploring how Elvis grew up and started his career and eventually lost his authenticity and how his life relates to America and how it lost its democracy and became an empire. This movie was interesting, the story of how Elvis grew up and eventually became famous. There were interviews with both famous and now-famous people while riding in his 1963 Rolls Royce and various musicians who played in the car while driving across country. That part of the movie was good, the strange part was trying to relate his life to how America has changed. It seemed more like the political view of the writer against the Trump administration. If you are a big Elvis fan then i would check it out, otherwise wait to stream as some of the musicians who play in the car were amazing.
