After a well-deserved vacation, I'm back. I rested for about a month, not only from my different work responsibilities but also from everything that involved the use of a computer. However, even though I took a break, I have of course read several books and watched several movies that I will be reviewing over the next few weeks, starting with this recent biopic.
Después de unas merecidas vacaciones, he vuelto. Descansé alrededor de un mes, no sólo de mis diferentes responsabilidades laborales sino también de todo lo que implicase el uso de un computador. Sin embargo, aunque me tomé un break, por supuesto que leí varios libros y vi varias películas que reseñaré durante las próximas semanas, empezando por esta reciente biopic.
Elvis, directed by Baz Luhrmann (The Great Gatsby, Australia, Moulin Rouge) and starring Austin Butler as the King of Rock 'n Roll and Tom Hanks as his manager Tom Parker, explores life and music of Elvis Presley, an icon of North American culture, through his relationship with the colonel, his enigmatic, manipulative and vicious manager. Although during the more than two and a half hours of duration a little of Elvis's childhood and something of his family is shown, the story emphasizes the complex dynamic that existed between Presley and Parker that spanned more than 20 years, from the Elvis's rise to fame to his unprecedented stardom, against the backdrop of the cultural revolution and loss of innocence in America that followed World War II. The fifties, sixties and seventies were decades of great change in the country, of key events in the future of its history and the lives of its citizens.

Si bien durante las más de dos horas y media de duración se muestra un poco de la infancia de Elvis y algo de su familia, la historia profundiza con énfasis la compleja dinámica que existía entre Presley y Parker que abarcó más de 20 años, desde el ascenso de Elvis a la fama hasta su estrellato sin precedentes, en el contexto de la revolución cultural y la pérdida de la inocencia en Estados Unidos que siguió a la segunda guerra mundial. Los años cincuenta, sesenta y setenta fueron décadas de un gran cambio en el país, de hechos claves en el devenir de su historia y la vida de sus ciudadanos.
Needed to say, the film is narrated by Parker. In other words, the story is told from his perspective, which doesn't always favor him, because as the film progresses, we feel him increasingly responsible for the tragedy that the King's death meant at just 42 years old.
