Elvis: 2 lines craft ×1 contrast ×1

  1. craft (same structure): Elvis → Amadeus. Both tell a titanic cultural figure's story through a lesser, frustrated figure entrenched in their life (Salieri, Colonel Parker).
    “It actually has a little bit in common with Elvis in that it's the story of this Titanic, almost imperceptible figure in the culture, through the lens of a lesser and perhaps more frustrated figure”

2010: The Year We Make Contact: 1 line industry ×1

  1. industry (Oscar rival): Amadeus → 2010: The Year We Make Contact. 2010 lost costume design, makeup, sound and art direction to Amadeus, and visual effects to Temple of Doom.
    “End sound and art direction to all to Amadeus.”

Where it came up

What was said about it, by kind

contrast (1)

  1. contrast (contrast of approach): Amadeus → Elvis. Amadeus conveys Mozart's genius without answering who he was; Elvis also skips interiority but fails to fill the gap.
    “it's smart that Elvis doesn't do that, even though you feel the lack of it because Elvis doesn't fill anything else in.”

Fun items about it

  1. fun, about Amadeus: Amadeus won all the Oscars; the lasting memory is F. Murray Abraham's Salieri rather than Tom Hulce's Mozart.
    “I think the lasting memory of this movie is not Tom Holst, but F. Murray Abraham”
