I Will Say This. Had It Not Been For Austin Or That Whole Movie In General, I Wouldn't Have Ever Fallen

i will say this. had it not been for austin or that whole movie in general, i wouldn't have ever fallen in love with elvis. i never would have gone home and looked him up, read up on him and finally see how amazing he actually is as a human being. and on top of that, i wouldn't have made this account or met any of y'all and im truly thankful for that. this movie saved my life in so many ways and i'm just forever grateful to baz and everyone who made this movie possible. elvis (2022) forever.

I pity anyone who doesn't believe in the power of art and human connection. They're truly missing out on the tremendous beauty and depth of life. If I had never watched Baz Luhrmann's Elvis, this past week would've just been another average week in January, and frankly a rather frustrating start to the new year. Instead, it's been an emotional roller coaster ride filled with overwhelming joy, opportunity, exhilaration, celebration, disbelief and now heartache. Tonight once again I'm reminded of how incredible this community is and how lucky we all are to have found each other; strangers on the internet whose hearts have been strung together by chance. Because while all our stories are different, it's the emotional resonance of one man's artistry that has led us here to each other in some way, shape or form. We're connected now, even if it doesn't always feel that way gazing into our screens. But the collective outpouring of emotional highs and lows I've witnessed this week is almost unbelievable. Art truly brings people together in profound ways and I'm so grateful to be on this journey with you all.

And to think I wouldn't be here, feeling all the things I'm feeling right now... if I hadn't gone to the movies last June. That's wild.

This picture does something to me 🥵🥵🫠🫠

I just have so many emotions happening all at once. So, I’m just going to say this..

Austin, Baz, and the whole Elvis cast and crew put so much hard work and effort into such an amazing film. I’ve have never felt so emotional about a movie the way I do with this one. I will never forget seeing this movie on the day it came out and feeling so many emotions toward the end, that I had to sit in the theater even as the movie was over because I couldn’t stop crying. It truly was an experience. A cinematic experience that I’ve never had before. I wish I could relive it.

It’s made me completely fall in love with such an incredible human being and love him for all of his flaws. That sometimes it feels like I’ve known Elvis personally because of how emotional I get over him. Is the obsession I have normal? Probably not. But if it wasn’t for this movie or the obsession, I wouldn’t have streamed his movies for everyone on tiktok all summer. Met so many Elvis besties that I love so much or been in Elvis group chats, making Elvis edits or even start writing fanfic. Hell I got into so many tiktok fights defending this man with my life, it’s crazy.

This movie was so impactful for so many damn people and younger generations who now love and appreciate Elvis so much. Austin, Baz and everyone else who worked on that film DID THAT. So yeah, I’m a little hurt they were snubbed. But I’m proud of them all either way for making such an unforgettable film and bringing so many people together.

This is so adorable. I melted with all the haha’s and lol’s. I actually watched this movie last week and still can not believe he was only sixteen. I also live in NZ and all the things he said about us were very true

discovered tonight that austin had a little blog going on his official website in 2008. whoever had the sense to put all this in the wayback machine at some point, i owe you a drink and a kiss. also the movie he’s referring to here is aliens in the attic, it must’ve had a diff name at some point!
