So, 'The King' is this oddly charming documentary that spins around the tale of Rauli Badding Somerjoki, who, in '75, shoots his song 'Lights' to Elvis. The atmosphere is a mix of nostalgia and whimsy, especially with the bizarre occurrences in Somero — potatoes morphing into strange shapes really adds a quirky layer. It’s not just about the music; there's this underlying theme of longing and dreams unfulfilled. The pacing feels relaxed, allowing the oddities of small-town life to soak in. You get a sense of the personal stakes in Badding’s journey, and the way they blend those practical effects with real-life footage is pretty distinctive. It's a unique slice of music history, really.
