Certain? Are there moments where you think, uh, like I know the butterfly is him or I know the song that’s playing is him letting me know that he’s happy with everything you’ve had right now? it Right now, yeah, I really do, I do because this movie opened it up, it opened it up for this generation, kids of this generation now know who Elvis was and how we experienced him, so I think it’s a gift to Elvis.
