I went to a theater to see a movie for the first time in over a year.

It's been over a year since we went out to see a movie. We saw "Nomadland" in April 2021, and when we saw that it had been over a year since we'd gone out to see a movie. Covid has been part of these long gaps, but not all of it.

I'm not sure I will ever want to see a movie in the theater again. My #1 problem is that you are bound to sit through it. You can't pause. You can't walk away and come back later. That can be a positive. You've committed to sit through it and you almost certainly will. It's now or never.

Ha ha. Guess what move we saw? Yes, you're right. It was Baz Luhrman's "Elvis":

I would have enjoyed this so much more on my TV. In fact, I would have enjoyed it much more if it had been made as a TV mini-series with 5 or 6 hour-long episodes. Because this movie was too long and too short. There were so many ideas that could have been worked through. There were 2 big themes: Elvis's relationship to black people and their music and Elvis's bondage to Colonel Tom Parker. That had to be compressed in the movie, and the movie was still 2 hours and 39 minutes. 

I have other problems with seeing a movie in the theater. Insanely, the picture is worse. As discussed in last year's post about "Nomadland," the picture projected on the screen in this theater isn't good enough. It would look better on the TV I have at home. Is a big screen something special? I can get an equally big screen on my iPhone just by holding it close to my face. My TV at a normal distance is the same size within my field of vision as the movie screen. 

What about the audience? Isn't it something special to see a movie with a group of strangers? It might be, sometimes. Yesterday, entering the theater and seeing that our seats — the best seats, chosen on line — were in big recliners — in a row that was already filled with older couples already reclined — I was a tad dismayed. This seemed more sedentary than watching TV at home. One person had brought a blanket and was already covered up. And I could have done without the singing along. It wasn't loud, raucous singing along, but a low, respectful communion with Elvis. Wise men say, only fools fall in love.... Who knows what they were feeling?

Anyway, I recommend this movie when you can watch it on TV and consume it in parts. It's just too long! But when and if you do watch it, I have some advice about how to watch it, advice that I thought up afterwards. This often happens to me: The first time through a movie is like a trial run, and afterwards I have a lot of ideas about what to look for, but then I need to watch it again. If I have the movie at home — a DVD or a streaming service — I can and often do go right back to the beginning and watch it again. I have proved over and over again to myself that if a movie turns out to have been worth watching the first time, it will be better the second time — not years later, after its impression has faded, but while it's perfectly fresh in my mind. I don't have the distraction of wondering what's going to happen, and I can notice all the details, and I appreciate things in the moment because I know what they'll connect up to later.

So here's the key to watching "Elvis." Colonel Tom Parker — Tom Hanks — is absolutely disgusting and evil. He's a monster. Elvis makes a pact with the devil and he can't get out of it. He's caught in a trap.... The monster keeps rising up again. Now, the monster Tom embodies greed. And Elvis is the artist — all about music and love. Whatever flaws real-life Elvis had, movie Elvis has located in the monster Tom. You could think of them as one person with 2 sides. It's not realistic and I don't think it's an accurate portrayal. You never see Elvis overeating cheeseburgers or indulging weird sexual proclivities. You never see the tender side of Tom. It's a grand, doomed struggle between art and money — beauty and ugliness.
