i'm
in
the
process
of
watching
a
ninety
-minute-long
video
essay
that
basically
just
involves
someone
recapping
and
analyzing
every
elvis presley
movie
ever
made
,
and
placing
the
films
in
the
wider context
of
the
man's
life
and
career
.
it's
kind
of
riveting.
and
now
i
want
to
see
"harum scarum"
just
so
i
can
laugh
through
my
horror
at
the
profound
wrongness
of
it
all
.

"
behind
the
increasingly
thin
facade
that
these
movies
present
is
one
of
the
most
human
portraits
of
elvis presley
we
have
.
i
do
believe
that
elvis
ended
up
making
a
classic
american
film
.
just
not
the
one
he
expected
.
his
real
contribution
to
cinema
isn't
any
one
film
,
but
a
sixty
-hour-plus meta-epic
about
a
person
trying
to
realize
who
they
are
while
being
forced
to
be
something
they're
not
.
it's
an
odyssey
through
the
american
dream
in
all
its
na
ïveté
and
garish hollowness,
its
hope
and
despair
,
joy
and
misery
,
death
and
rebirth
.
okay
,
maybe
that
last
bit
is
a
stretch
."
