Given the iconic figure at the center of the hit biopic, many fans wonder how accurate the Elvis movie is. Baz Luhrmann’s movie offers an ostentatious look at the life of Elvis Presley, and as with any Luhrmann project, accuracy inevitably gives way to showmanship. Told through flashbacks from the perspective of Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks), Elvis chronicles The King’s career from early obscurity to international icon. Elvis was a box office hit and earned plenty of award recognition, including nominations for Austin Butler as Best Actor and Best Picture. However, the accuracy of the movie is still in question.
