Perfect review. You nailed it. Especially the part about reviewers not getting Luhrmann. Personally, I’ve never been a real Elvis fan, but I have always appreciated his origins and his cultural importance. And the one time I visited Memphis, you’d better believe that I left half a day to visit Graceland for exactly the reasons you name here. I even tried on that trip to visit Graceland Too in Holly Springs, Mississippi. (If you’ve never heard of it, look it up. It reinforces your thesis.) Thanks for a great read.
