Elvis Found Alive

A friend told me about this film and had totally believed it. I will say it was well researched and has a lot of great archival footage. It is interesting as a hypothetical portrayal: What if Elvis had faked his death and were found alive? What would he say in an interview? But the problem here is the acting. "Elvis" sounds like he's reading a book. He does not speak like a normal person would speak extemporaneously. He over-pronounces words and phrases and pauses in all the wrong places, as does the interviewer. He says things about his thoughts and feelings that no one would say unless asked directly. Others have pointed out he doesn't have the voice of a 77 year old man. Additionally, a Tennessean living under cover in California is not going to still have a thick Tennessee accent. It may be worth a watch if you're interested, but it's pure fantasy. I give it 3 stars for the history in spite of the misleading pretense and bad acting.

Don't take this too seriously.

I would actually like to see a series of these 'interviews' with historic celebrities. "Einstein Found ALive", "Jesus Found Alive", "Caveman Found Alive".

Using stock footage, public documents and existing testimonials the producers have crafted a compelling look at the life and times of Elvis Presley.

Get over the whole 'he is still alive' angle and enjoy a semi-autobiographical narrative of a celebrity who lived through WWII, the Civil Rights movement, the Summer of Love and the Nixon/Carter/Reagan presidencies.

It's an entertaining telling of the Elvis story with some socio-political biases (Elvis hates Obama).

I like Elvis' music in the same way I like Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis. Fun 'Oldies' stuff.

This is more of a 'My Dinner with Andre (Elvis)' and should be appreciated on that level.

I have a relative who was a very close friend of Elvis Presley and when she went to his funeral she demanded the officials, "What have you done with the real Elvis? This is not him. Where is the real Elvis!?" She tild that to everyone she met afterwards including my mom at that time. I always knew he was still alive. There are also stories about his home tours that different sections are crossed off at every tour and you can hear footsteps upstairs whenever it was crossed off. Another one of my aunts showed my Dad a newspaper clipping with a picture of a man from California who looked exactly like Elvis but with white hair back in 2016 so i know that this is true.

I was curious so I started watching and was immediately impressed by the story and editing. The title is misleading as this is not the premise that this movie was trying to prove, it was more of a spoof and a what if premise. It's an entertaining take of Elvis life told by Elvis himself. It was so much fun to watch and so nicely done with authentic footage from his real life. Such a pleasure and its obvious so much work was put into this gem. Thanks to Joel Gilbert and his crew and Highway 61 for all your dedication and time that must have gone into this production. It begins with Joel Gilbert visiting Graceland and as it continues, Joel and his crew do some investigation and FBI inquiries and find out not only is he alive but living in Simi Valley. They find out where he lives and go to investigate.....the story transpires from there. It's a fun trip!

As a fictitious account of the "what if" of Elvis' life, and death, this mockumentary is entertaining with facts of Elvis' life and career. But what concerns me most is the gullible people who so desperately want Elvis to be alive, that they truly BELIEVE this is REALLY Elvis. And I believe that is hurtful and harmful. People, there is NO WAY that is Elvis "found alive"! The voice impersonator does NOT have the voice of an ELDERLY man, which Elvis WOULD be were he alive! The impersonator also OVER ACTS the stuttering and pauses in Elvis' speech. PLEASE DON'T BE FOOLED by this, and just accept it as a work of "art" and entertainment! One thing I DO know about Elvis, dead or alive, he absolutely LOVED his fans and would NOT want to see them misled and hurt. It's JUST a MOVIE guys, with some REALLY BAD acting!!!
