I mean, the Presleys’ neighborhood was called Shake Rag—not to be confused with “Bel-Air” or “Park Avenue”. When the Presleys moved to the projects in Memphis when Elvis was 13, it was a step up. Luhrmann’s depiction is vivid and welcome and helps...
It is also fairly well known that Presley grew up alongside African Americans, as the film depicts.
