You just hate it that Elvis got "too big" for the south. If he stayed in Memphis and never left his rockabilly roots, you'd be his biggest advocate.
In his last years, he literally was too big for the South.
I'm reminded of that anecdote where Elvis auditioned for the Grand Ole Opry but he was told to keep his job driving trucks.
I consider that story to possibly be an embellished myth, but regardless it's perfectly symbolic for the fact that yeah he was bigger than the South (more like too good), and never would've gone from Elvis to ELVIS if he went to Nashville instead of Hollywood.
But really, most of his movies were skippable to say the least. JAILHOUSE ROCK was good though.
