This is the most viewed photo in the National Archives of the United States.
Perhaps in that era, Americans felt the same when seeing this photo, just as we see posts like "What are the unexpected group photos" in the Internet age. Compared with Lin Huiyin and Tagore, Mei Lanfang and Chaplin, or Gao Xiaosong and Mildew, the absurd meaning and topical value of such a meeting at the same time is unmatched by other combinations, and it must surpass the national leader's interview. The usual posture level of entertainment stars.
oops... I
first thought that this was a serious movie similar to "Dialogue Nixon", or a biopic that respected historical facts, but it was a very typified comedy. Kevin Spacey finally played a real president, a more tricky president than Underwood (Nixon nicknamed Tricky Dick). He was finally able to show his imitation skills on the big screen. You must know that in addition to his acting skills, he is also good at imitating. If you are interested, you can search on YouTube. Michael Shannon, who played the role of Elvis Presley, is the most well-known role of "General Zod" in the past two years after
To expand a photo into a one-and-a-half-hour feature film, in addition to digging into the story behind and saturating the character image, a certain degree of exaggeration in the plot is also necessary. So we saw an Elvis who was depressed and worried about the country and the people, Nixon who was stubborn but loved his daughter like his life, and we saw that Elvis was struggling to meet Nixon, and when the two really met in the Oval Office At that time, Nixon seemed a bit cautious. You can say that these adaptations are slightly different from historical facts, but for such an exaggerated story, a pair of exaggerated characters, even if it is not a true story, it is the story that the audience wants to see, which satisfies the audience's reverie about this meeting. Will suffice.
The rapid popularity of "Quick Silver" made Peter Evans a small selling point for the film, and one of the less disgusting supporting actors. In contrast, Jerry Schilling, Elvis’ best friend, played by Alex Pattyfer, is slightly mediocre, failing to hold up that trivial spur line.
Relaxed, joking, smooth, without depth... This evaluation of the film is basically fair. If you can dig deeper into the hearts of the characters, it may take the film to a higher level. Obviously the director has not thought about it. The rich monologue of Elvis in front of the mirror is a highlight. Michael Shannon interpreted a rock king who saw the hustle and bustle and glitz just right, and let us be caught by his absurdity. While amused, but also lamented at the loneliness of his height.
