Back at work again today. Afterwards, my wife, daughter and I watched Elvis. While not a cinematic masterpiece, it was a good film. We did ask my son if he wanted to join us, but he declined after initially accepting the offer.
It was obvious that it would not be able to do justice to his life, for that, a much longer film would be needed and with this in mind, I would consider this a work of fiction based on his life. I liked the way it addressed racial injustice in the USA as well as the dangers of drug use. It did gloss over a lot of his life, including the age that Priscilla Presley was when they first met.
Overall, I am glad I watched it, though I see no need to watch it again.
