A more romanticized look at Elvis's life that took liberties with the story making the people who surrounded him look better than they were, especially Parker and his Parents. They also focused a little much on Elvis and Percila and really drove home who off the pairing was, with there being 10 years difference between them. Something the newer one didn't address. With her even still going to high school when they got together. Although the other one does them breaking up after Vegas and showed Elvis making his Xmas special, this one skipped all that and even had him being nervous about the show instead of excited. It also kind of showed Elvis in a bad light, with him being even more obsessed with his dead brother, who died at birth, then his mother was. They also made it look like joining the army was his idea when it was either that or go to jail for jay-riding on TV.
