Was Austin Butler too effeminate to play Elvis?
>>217415183Quentin thinks butler is a better actor than Paul dano
>>217415183No. They're both relentlessly handsome
>>217415183
>>217415796In some ways he is. I think both are fantastic actors though.
>>217415183Elvis WAS pretty effeminate for his day. But if you just played it straight modern audiences wouldn’t pick up on that. So they amped it up a bit for the movie.
>>217415840Butler spent 3 years isolating from his family to prepare to play Elvis and got so fucked up in the head that he's still talking like Elvis. Method actors tend to be mediocre and pretentious.
>poster boy of white supremacy>actually he was an injun and introduced black music to the mainstreamI don't get you guys
>>217415183His fancy pansy looks in the 50s (before side burns) was based on Elvis' IRL stuff. Quasi-French sailor adjacent lol. I do think Baz L punched it up with MORE PINK, LONGER eye lashes. And Butler to my eyes played up the "elvis was a kept boy of Colonel" angle which is pretty scandalous if you sell it to Elvis fans.
