Micdriver What a wonderful fantasy Elvis movie. I am moved. I appreciate Ray Liotta's performance. I am so grateful that someone is thinking of our feelings. What an interesting idea.I understand that this is just a "dream" idea, a fantasy yet I found a sincere delight in watching this film. I loved Elvis and was often sad I never had a chance to see him live. Dreams and hope. This movie makes such a dream come true if only for our hearts and thoughts. Again, The King never dies. Thank you for bringing him back if only for a moment, a glimpse of the spirit. This movie proves the spirit is progressive if your heart really feels it. Elvis inspired dreams, thanks again to the actors Ashley Judd, Seth Green, Joe Pantoliano and finally the man, Blake Rayne, your best.
tysfam4 I see why the critics didn't like this movie. There's no violence, profanity or nudity & nothing blows up. It was moving & inspirational, well acted & the music was great. I should know never to pay attention to the critics anyway, I NEVER agree with them. It just makes me angry that a good movie like this goes unnoticed, and never promoted because it doesn't fit into Hollywood's agenda. I thought the storyline was original & interesting, and it was refreshing to see people of faith portrayed in such a sweet & sympathetic way. I think Blake Rayne is very talented & I would like to see him in other movies, and Ray Liotta & Ashley Judd were terrific.
gymjudge Blake Rayne is gifted in his acting ability and singing talent. I greatly enjoyed watching the movie. Excellent supporting cast. The movie shows the importance of family and moral values. The character of Ryan, Blake Rayne's character, shows that despite the racial ignorance during that time frame in history he saw blacks as people. It took people similar to Ryan during that time people to affect change as we saw during the civil rights period. I like the message of following your dreams, to often we work for the sake of working. We need to enjoy life and the pleasure life gives us. I enjoy watching a movie without vulgarity, vulgarity are words of ignorance. The Identical is a great family movie. I hope to purchase the soundtrack.
Violet Weed I just needed something to be 'background noise' as I worked on my own projects. Turned on this movie on Netflix on my 2nd large monitor next to my 'working' monitor. Ended up getting an unexpected two-hour break from work due to cancelled meetings, so I sat back in my chair and focused on the movie. It started rather slowly and since I had not read the synopsis here, I didn't know what to expect, but hey I had my popcorn so I settled in to watch. It is an excellent family type movie or maybe a kinda 'chick flick'. NO sex. NO swearing. NO smoking. NO drinking (by the main characters). Just normal, average folks trying to lead good lives. Blake Rayne starring in his first movie ever. He is a well-known Elvis impersonator and that is obvious after the first 10 minutes of the movie. So what? The MAN is handsome, looks like a member of Elvis' family, and boy! can he sing! There's a lot of singing in this movie, early rock music. Apparently some of the other commentors didn't like that, but as a MUSICIAN, I DID. (Non musicians tend to 'like' 'pop' music because they don't grok music. Fine. But real musicians have a different 'understanding' of music.) Other reviewers have explained the premise of the movie, so I won't bother. I go more for 'sensation'... and this movie filled me up emotionally. I thought Ray Liotta gave an Oscar-winning performance, because for the FIRST time I saw how well he can ACT. I didn't know it was Mr. Liotta until halfway through the movie. Ashley Judd was fine, but she is really a one-trick-pony actress, she knows how to play -- Ashley Judd, but she does it exceptionally well. Seth Green is so cute, and quite a good b-rate actor. Actually all main actors in the movie were obviously professionals. BTW, this is NOT a religious movie even though Ray plays a minister and biblical quotes show up once in a while. As far as I am concerned, most people are sheeple anyway, and if the prevailing zeitgeist is 'anti-Christian' rhetoric, that's what the sheeple will baaaaa baaaaa baaaaah in comments for movies of this type. Good entertainment, moral and family strong. LOVED IT. However, the typographer responsible for the end titles (Sherwood Jones) let a typo escape proofreading (I saw the typo), and whoever was responsible for the type fount and kerning didn't understand type for streaming media/TV/movie screens either. The kerning should have been relaxed TV spacing (tight NOT touching), but the titles were, in fact, over kerned, possibly minus 1 when they should have been plus 1), (eruditely yours). Ms. KnowItAll (but I do so BFD) PS this movie may have financially 'bombed' at the theatres, but so did "It's a Wonderful Life". This is a good family movie, that leaves you with a good feeling, and I am BETTING it'll be on TV/streaming media devices for decades to come, just like "It's a Wonderful Life."
