Sun Records

The movie is good. I like it. Probably It would be much better if we speak mainly about Elvis' life not Sam Philips. Elvis' life is a real story of a boy growing up in that windy time in Tennessee. But I am happy about that movie. For me that's how real life should looks. Imagine the world that way. We would live more real and happier life. And I didn't know that sky*e was existed through 50's. I wanna everybody hearing the voice of sky*e. The time is - 4th episode, 21:41m.

Pretty good show. Well acted and very well written. A little too much on the time spent separating black and white. Yes it was a serious issue back then as well as a serious influence on our artist. But they didn't play the race issues natural enough. Another problem with this that did get irritating was the syncing of the voice over recordings. With Elvis and Cash, voice over got too obvious. As for set decorating and cinematography...very pleasing! I'm 50's born and raised do I enjoyed it.

My husband and I loved this show. Having grown up in the South myself during the time of Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis it was especially memorable for me. Actually bought an Elvis 45 on Sun Records label in Georgia 1955. We found the background on Sam Phillips (sexiest man on TV)and his life as well as Col. Parker the most interesting part of the show. We all know how Elvis, Johnny, and the others all turned out. Who knew what a sleeze Tom Parker was, or how hard it was to get Sun Records established. Loved all the characters Couldn't wait for the next episode. The casting of these characters was brilliant to say the least. I really hope there is a next season . My family as well as many of my friends will be eagerly watching.

So what if it's not 100% correct on ages and time lines of events? (Hank Snow was older than those emerging singers in real life... does it bother me that he is portrayed younger? No.)

Billy Gardell (from the CBS sitcom "Mike and Molly") shows an impressive range of acting with his portrayal of Col. Tom Parker. The maniacal "Dewey Phillips" character as an out of control disc jockey is hilarious. There is too much good about this series to let it be outweighed by nit-picking as they call it in the south.

it appears that many people think this is a show about Elvis, even thou it's called "Sun Records". Well, surprise: It's about sun records and its founder Sam Philipps. And it's not about Elvis. Nor Johnny Cash. Or Jerry Lee Lewis. It also is not about Michael Jackson or Lady Gaga. It's called Sun Records, remember? If you feel betrayed, I figure it's your own fault - for not reading the series' title. whoops, huh.

As such, I find it the perfect way to portray the beginnings of rock'n'roll since sun records played a main part in that. The playing is very decent, the narratology works rather well.

Thank you for giving us this mini series.
