- Sofia Coppola’s newest film Priscilla is a beautiful, quiet meditation on a young woman’s painful journey into adulthood in the gilded cage of one of the most famous people on the planet. In Priscilla, Coppola weaves together romance and agony to create a tapestry of feeling - the feeling of love, the feeling of resentment, the feeling of being totally alone. So what is the film really trying to say about Priscilla, Elvis Presley, and their relationship? Let’s unpack the real facts of her real life and the film’s version to get a better understanding of the deeper story Coppola is actually trying to tell. (Plus, we’ll explain the real life Elvis drama the film came up against.)

WATCH MORE: Baz Luhrmann's recent Elvis biopic's choice to tell the story through an unreliable narrator means some big pieces of the story got left out... So what got omitted, and why? Watch our video to find out: ruclips.net/video/xm73tX7MY9w/видео.html
Fuck off leave Elvis alone
Hype this foolish film and leave the movie Elvis and baz luhrmann alone!! Jealous insecure 🤡🤡
Because it wasn't important for Elvis movie
Priscilla was never left alone in a big house. That completely contradicts what she said in her book. Elvis asked the other wives to be friends to her, and she had two maids, one cook, Aunt Delta, Elvis' grandmother in the house with her. As soon as she graduated, (about two months after she arrived,) Elvis bought her a car. "Keep her like a pet"?? Of course he wanted her to be there for him. That is what every husband wants. He dictated her hair and makeup? He did not make her do it. If you look at the later pictures she quit dressing the way he liked as soon as Lisa was born. That didn't even go on through the marriage.
The tabloid reports were usually untrue. She was never thrust into an early adult life. She didn't even come into Graceland until she was two months short of 18.
The 'new relationship" with Mike Stone had been going on for many months before she left Elvis. She and Mike had shared a secret apartment for sex, for many months according to him. Mike Stone was a married man with a small child and a pregnant wife.
I wish you would have clarified that Priscilla's father died when she was a baby, and the man we see in the movie is Priscilla's STEP father, who started a new family with her mother with their own kids, Priscilla being the odd one out. If her real father were alive, I believe he would've protected her differently, and that's an important distinction.
Oh, I didn't know that! I would have appreciate it if they somehow add this little bit of information in the movie somewhere
Biology has nothing to do with it
@@oliviahxogroomed? You dont know that. Grooming takes a long time, like elvis ford. for all you know they hooked up 2 secs after meeting
I wish the step father had been clarified in the movie but it has nothing to do with his wanting to protect her. A good person would have protected her, biology be damned.
That's why I loved Elvis and Me (1988) movie. 3+ hrs long, more details and that movie did verified that. Sophia's new movie is worthless, short and jumping too much in times.
Before I watched the movie I didn't realize he openly cheated on her, to the point that she reads about it in the tabloids, and of course he sees it as his right as a man to do that while his child bride is trapped at home, the movie makes you feel like you're suffocating just looking at it from the outside.
A lot of women were trapped in similar lives. Instead of reading about their husband’s infidelity on tabloid covers, they overheard the gossip at beauty salons and grocery stores. Women were considered to be property for a long time. It doesn’t make what Elvis did right, it shows that more people shared his warped view of women.
She cheated on him too.
@@elvis78ale So that makes everything he did to her justified????
@@friendlyneigborhoodbean she could leave . Many men are cheaters...we always have a choice. Elvis was not a good boyfriend but she was not in prison. They weren't obviously soulmates.
@@elvis78ale I just love how vocal you are about this and then add that they were not soulmates...like you legit believe soulmates are a thing.
No the universe will not provide you with your soulmate buddy, that's not how it works(except for disneymovies)
With all due respect to Lisa Marie, she didn’t know Elvis the way Priscilla did.
I AGREE. Lisa Marie was 4 years old when Elvis died
@@nicolearayaa9 actually i think.
@@nicolearayaa She was 9.
Apparently, neither does Priscilla herself. ‘Cause her stories about him and how he treated her change depending on how she’s feeling that day.
@@user-golden-rhapsody5915 all you Elvis fanboys and fangirls need to get over it. He chose HER. Not you. You didn't have to live with him for years. SHE DID. The woman was with this guy 24/7. She knows him better than anyone - specially better than fangirls that only saw the pretty side of him on the cover of magazines -. She was a literal child when all this happend to her. And her deciding to profit from his a$$ is nothing but karma for all the stuff he probably put her through. Stop crying already 😂
So the parents basically sold her.
Yes, they sold a kid to a grown man. Its disgusting. 🤮
Sadly a LOT of our music greats have "bought" young girls from their parents. Enough that it's an actual problem that our culture just rug sweeps.
its very common. see Disney Channel and nickelodeon shows for examples
You idiots willing to believe this stuff... it's truly so sad.
@@susannehuber3996and she put her own daughter in a cult at the age of 9 disgusting🤢🤮
When it comes to the riskiness of minors in a relationship with older individuals , some people get stuck on the SA itself. They don’t count isolating a person into an environment they aren’t comfortable in, morphing them into their beauty ideals, and all those “little” lead ups that make them susceptible to the advances. How a person so young would want the approval, acceptance, and love of the man who was basically morphing her.
There was no sexual abuse. Priscilla has said over and over that he never took it past kissing until she moved in with him. Then she was two months short of 18. He was away and didn't come back for three months so when he got back she was 18 years and one month old. I haven't seen the movie yet but I've been told that it shows him taking her blouse off when she was under age. If it says that, it is another one of Priscilla's lies. She has always said that he didn't.
@@saphireblue3563 There is NO Need in saying anything TO THESE PRISCILLA WORSHIPPORS --- THEY ONLY RESPOND TO THEMSELVES LIKE THEY KNOW IT ALL THE ONES THAT KNOW ARE THE FANS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR SO MANY YEARS HEARING ALL THIS AND THE FANS OF ELVIS WHO HAVE HEARD OPPOSITE STORIES WITH ELVIS'S AND PRISCILLA'S FRIENDS AT THE TIME -- AND BILLY SMITH HIS COUSIN ON HIS CHANNEL -- AND THIS MOVIE DID NOT FOLLOW HER BOOK AT ALL -- COPOLLA PUT HER SPIN ON IT --- WE KNOW THEY WERE NOT TOGETHER BUT IN GERMANY FOR A FEW MONTHS AND BILLY SMITH JUST CAME OUT TO SAY THERE WERE ALL KINDS OF GIRLS IN AND OUT JUST HANGING OUT WITH SODA'S CHIPS NOT LIKE A BIG PARTY -- AND HE DATED THE GERMAN ACTRESS VERA WHILE IN GERMANY BUT THEY ARE NOT GONNA LISTEN TO US THEY THINK WE ARE FREAKS BECAUSE WE LOVE ELVIS --- AND HE'S A PEDO OR WHATEVER I KNEWWWWW THIS WOULD HAPPEN WE KNEW IT!!!! LISA MARIE KNEW IT ---- P SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HERSELF -- BUT IT DRAWS MONEY AND THAT'S ALL SHE DID WAS SUCK MONEY FROM HIM ALIVE AND AFTER DEATH
@@saphireblue3563 read the OPs comment again.
@@Clara-in1fu That doesn't make it true.
Oh spare me this movie is garbage. In the late 1950s the age of consent was 14 years old in germany. In the fifties and United States it was not unusual for 15 year old girls to get married. My mother was 15 years old when she dated my father who was 23 got married at 18. It was a different time by then I'm so sick of Priscilla talking so negatively about one of the greatest icons ever just because she resents him and she's jealous of him. She's made 50 million off of him and true Elvis fans are sick of her
So many bells were rung in my mind as an abuse survivor when you described the way Priscilla was treated. And the mentality of "it never happened to me" and denial in Lisa Marie's mind is all too common, too.
She was not abused spare me that's the narrative that Priscilla has been singing for 50 years. We've been listening to Priscilla side the story for 50 years but we have not heard Elvis aside the story. What about his side of the story? Oh that's right he's dead so he can't speak so you know what? As a hardcore Elvis fan I'm going to fill you in on a few things. The age of consent in Germany in the late 50s was 14 years of age. When Priscilla met Elvis in Germany she was not a virgin. She already had boyfriends as young as 13 and she was very sexually active. Even after Elvis left Germany she had several boyfriends one was Tommy Stewart and they've come out publicly and said they had sex with priscilla. The way for her to meet Elvis is not what's portrayed in the movie. She approached Curry Grant I'm sure they changed his name cuz I wouldn't pay a dime to see this movie and was more of a pedophile I think he was about 25 26 years old married with kids but Priscilla looked a lot older than her age and he wanted to get in her pants. So basically she slept with curry Grand so she can meet elvis. Then has the nerve to claim that she told Elvis that Curry Grant raped her and Elvis kicked him out of the group and wanted nothing to do with curry Grand again. The problem with that is curry Grant had proved he had photos from the newspaper of him driving Priscilla and Elvis to the train station when he was leaving germany. This woman has been lying for years. She was not a prisoner in Graceland Billy Smith's which is Elvis's first cousin his wife Joe said she had some friends she went out with Patsy Presley he was close to her age they went shopping they went out to eat they went bowling. She was not a prisoner and she could have left anytime she wanted but she didn't because she wanted to marry Elvis Presley for the fame and the money. And as far as grooming her that's a bunch of hogwash too. Patty Perry who was Elvis's friend and Priscilla's hairdresser did Priscilla's hair and makeup and Priscilla was the one that insisted on kicking on the makeup and doing that high beehive now here's another tip of the information once Elvis got married to Priscilla he actually wasn't screwing around but Priscilla had an affair 6 weeks after she gave birth to Lisa Marie with a dance instructor. Elvis introduced Priscilla to Mike Stone and my stone was a married man with a wife that was pregnant and Priscilla broke up that marriage. Mike Stone in an interview said Priscilla chased after him. Just like She chased after elvis. I can go on and on but the bottom line is this woman has been making millions of dollars trashing Elvis painting a false story making herself look like a victim when the real victim here is Elvis Presley himself
You need to do some research on Elvis! Priscilla was not abused!
Love the fact that you keep driving home that she was a teenager
She is was
Again in the 1950s and 60s that was typical of the times. My mother dated my father in the mid 50 she was 15 years old he was 23 that got married she was 18. I tell her how you young people call Elvis a pedophile and she left she said if you're not married by the time you're 18 in those days you were an old maid. And by the way youngsters the age of consent in Germany in the late 50s was 14 years old. She didn't move to Memphis till she was 17 years old 3 months shy of graduating high school
@@debraanderson1511so? A lot of things were typical back then it doesn't make it right or any less disgusting
Loved this movie and this is a great analysis!
Something I’d love to see y’all talk about is the idea of the “perfect victim”, which the commentary around this film makes me think about. This idea that if somebody isn’t perfect/moral/upright/well-adjusted/“good” now then they are unreliable and shouldn’t be trusted in any regard to tell their story. This is also happening with Britney Spears, happened with Rhianna, and so many more. I’m sure it happens to men as well, but especially with women it seems the general public are much happier to dismiss anything they have to say about having been abused if they don’t live up to society’s standard of good.
It’s very much like the “she shouldn’t have been wearing that if she didn’t want to get r*ped” logic.
But Priscilla was in no way abused in real life.
I'm glad you enjoyed the fictional story of Priscilla's life because that was all made up. I've Been a Long Time Elvis fan done a lot of research and Priscilla lies about Elvis and makes herself look like a victim when she was not. Read the book child bride you can get it from the library Suzanne finstad did a great job in interviewing several hundred people that knew Priscilla and grew up with her and she documented all her resources. Priscilla wasn't even a virgin when she met Elvis and after he left Germany she had several boyfriends and were sleeping with them. Her parents pushed her to go out with Elvis let her stay out till 2:00 in the morning. That's because they sell dollar signs and that's why they allowed her to move to Memphis when she was 17 years old 3 months I have graduating high school. She was not a prisoner in Graceland other Mafia Memphis house wife said she had friends she went bowling she hung out with Patsy Presley he was close to her age. And she could have left at any time but she didn't because she wanted that last name presley. She cheated on Elvis when they were married Elvis actually did not cheat on her when they were married when she first came to Memphis and he was out doing movies. She had an affair with her dancing instructor 6 weeks after Lisa Marie was born then an affair with Mike Stone who was a married man with a pregnant wife. Zillow was overheard at Elvis funeral talking to her sister saying I'm finally free. She was they probably think I'm crying and I'm not. She had sunglasses on. This is a cold-hearted witch who I can go on and on until you think she did to her daughter Lisa Marie and to our grandson benjamin. And here she is talking away making more money and people like you are paying her LOL you're giving her your money lol. You couldn't pay me to see this crap well Priscilla has had 50 years to tell her side of the story. What about Elvis aside the story doesn't he have a right to tell his side of the story? Oh that's right he can't he's dead. For a woman who claims she loves this man so much and wants to be buried near him yet she makes him out to be a pedophile groomer and a horrible person. Well you know who the horrible person is? Priscilla do you know who the real victim is here? Elvis Presley
@@debraanderson1511 Debra I agree with you about everything you said, but not about Finstead. She went after Elvis too, saying he was having full intercourse with Priscilla when she was 14. Let's not sell Elvis out just to get Priscilla. We all know all the terrible things Priscilla did to Elvis when he was alive and even after he died. We do not need Finstead to prove what a horrible person Priscilla is.
I hope you will not promote this book any more.
@@feralkittens Seems like Priscilla didn’t live with him either…'cause the way she contradicts herself every time she speaks makes it seem like she didn’t even knew him.
I live in Memphis. I went to the same high school that Elvis sent Priscilla to. It’s so weird bc a grown man had to send his gf to high school.
He didn't send her to high school 😂😂 her parents wanted her to finish the last year of school there. Get your info better
Leo DiCaprio helps his with their homework lol
@@elvis78aleher parents wanted her to finish school so…Elvis sent her to her high school…did he not?
@@andwhataboutit546 if you like to say "Elvis sent her to school" you're welcome 🤷🏻♀️
this was a very nice summary, and i really appreciated that you included the actual priscilla's perspective at the end.
When Elvis Presley romanced German actress, Vera Tschechowa
U.S. army soldier, Elvis Presley, was stationed in Friedberg, Germany from October 1958 to March 1960. While many biographies sum up his love life in Germany as only involving Priscilla, Elvis did not meet Priscilla Beaulieu until September 1959. So for those 11 months before Priscilla entered his life, Elvis dated a lot of other women in Germany.
Even though Elvis had a girlfriend back home in Memphis named Anita Wood
( IN WHICH IN THE FIRST OF THE MOVIE SHE FINDS ANITA'S LETTERS ) AND ELVIS GOES BACK HOME TO ANITA WOOD WHOM HE DATED FROM 1957-1962 GO READ HER BOOK!!!! SHE LEFT ELVIS AFTER HIM SAYING TO HIS DAD OVERHEARING HIM I LOVE BOTH OF THEM - AND NEED TO MAKE A DECISION -- AND SHE MADE THAT DECISION FOR ELVIS AND WALKED OUT --- AND THEY CRIED BUT SHE NEVER WENT BACK UNTIL AFTER ELVIS PASSED AWAY --
I can understand Lisa Marie wanting to respect her father's image. But as a child we don't see the neglect and abuse between a husband's husband and wife. I've had to come to this realization with my own dad's passing. He was an unique man and a loving father and husband but he had his flaws. The relationship between parents and children is completely different from husband and wife. Elvis was a good performer and we know he loved himself and his family. But the truth is the truth. No need to sugarcoat it.❤
This video really undersells how much of a horror movie PRISCILLA is. I thought Sofia did a brilliant job at depicting the myriad ways in which Priscilla was preyed upon and abused. Graceland is depicted as a house of horrors, and Elvis this meandering monster terrorizing this naive child who is forced to become a strong mother.
Easily my favorite movie of the year.
Oh please there is no way she was preyed upon or abused. How was she preyed upon and for what???? Name it.
Elvis was not a monster she used him as a scapegoat
IT WAS BARELY BASED ON HER BOOK -- OMG -- DIDN'T EVEN SHOW HER CHEATING ON ELVIS AT ALL WITH MIKE STONE -- SHE WAS A CHILD? FOR ONE THING THEY SAW EACH OTHER FOR A BRIEF FEW MONTHS IN GERMANY SHE MOVED TO GRACELAND WHEN SHE WAS 17 --- THEY DIDN'T EVEN SEE EACH OTHER -- LMAO --- When Elvis Presley romanced German actress, Vera Tschechowa

She was not prayed upon or abused. Little info for you go to the library and rent out the book child bride by Suzanne finstad. It's an eye-opener you'll find out who the true Priscilla is. She's been bashing Elvis Presley for 50 years making millions off of him. She was not even a virgin when she met him. And the age of consent in Germany in the late 50s is 14 years old. In the United States back in the 50s and 60s young girls aided older men and got married very young. My mother was 15 years old when she dated my father who was 23 and got married at 18. After Elvis left Germany Priscilla had boyfriends they've come out and talk publicly. One of them was Tommy Stewart who was a rebel. She had sex with these boys. Her parents dollar signs that's why they allowed Priscilla to hang out with Elvis to 2:00 in the morning and then to move to Memphis at the age of 17 3 month shy of graduating high school. So if anybody was a predator it was her own parents. No one's saying that Elvis was perfect but her movie and her book portrays him as his monster which he was not. Priscilla cheated on Elvis and he wasn't cheating on her when they were married. She cheated on him 6 months after giving birth to Lisa Marie with her dance instructor then chased after Mike Stone whom Elvis introduced Priscilla to and Mike Stone was a married man with a wife who was pregnant. Priscilla broke up that marriage. Yes Elvis was upset about his marriage is not working out because he never thought he'd be divorced and he did not want to lose his daughter. Elvis was a wonderful father Priscilla was a horrible mother. After Elvis died she ignored Lisa Marie shoved it to nannies while she went traveling with her boyfriends. Another thing is Priscilla got a huge settlement from Elvis in divorce then had the nerve to go back and sue him again for more money and put a lien on his beloved graceland. This woman is a complete witch and I'm just giving you the tip of the iceberg. So before you speak and you judge Elvis Presley do you research about priscilla. Because Priscilla is a complete liar. And the real victim here is Elvis presley. Who is dead and cannot defend himself
@@julianmiguel6508power dynamics at play. He Shouldn’t have brought home a 16 year old to mold.
With Lisa Marie (though I can’t say I knew much about her) I feel like it came with her never understanding her father qas a flawed person as we all are. If a grown man is going after a 14 year old, he is a predator. He can be the guy you see as dad and a bad person. Two things can be true.
Agree. Also just because they were not intimate does not take away from the obvious grooming behaviour.
Anyone who believes they weren't intimate when she was 14 are naive. She said he had her sleeping in his bed and took nudes of her but didn't have sex? Sure, Jan.
At least Sean Lennon was able to be honest and say "Yeah my dad was an asshole at time"
This is a love story, that exist until this day; 2 birds in a cage one of them left the cage the other one couldn't and die after.
Priscilla was never in a cage. Ironically she had more freedom in that relationship than Elvis ever had in his entire life.
She was a baby when he died… she didn’t even know her father. She knows the Idealistic idea in her imagination of who her father is
SHE WAS 9 YEARS OLD!!!!!!!!!
@@HeavenlyPresley-Tonya
Just a baby, 9 is still so young. How often was he actually around, actually spending time in the same room and in a right mind with her in times between birth to 9 that she’d truly remember?
@@KK-yn2xb SHE WAS WITH HER DAD ALL SUMMER AT GRACELAND AND ELVIS HAD HOMES IN LA WHERE LISA WAS AND WOULD GO THERE ALL THE TIME TO SEE HER --- SHE WENT WITH HIM AND HIS DAD VERNON AND HIS GF LINDA THOMPSON ON THE ROAD SOME TOO --- SHE WAS THERE THE DAY HER DAD PASSED AWAY - AT GRACELAND - I HAVE TONS OF MEMORIES OF MY DAD AT THAT AGE -- MANY -- HE WAS A GOOD DAD EVEN PRISCILLA SAYS THAT!!!!!!! VERY LOVING FATHER -- GO LISTEN TO LISA'S INTERVIEWS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW INSTEAD OF SPECULATING TYPE IN LISA MARIE INTERVIEWS ABOUT HER DAD -- LMAO
I blame the dad more than the mum and Elvis the Dad was the king and he knew what he was going to do with her but he didn't care
Elvis was not interested in her at all
@@julianmiguel6508so why he married her? Ah? What’s your logic
I just saw this film and was surprised at how much I enjoyed the story. While I am not sure I would like to rewatch it, I do feel it is a story that everyone can relate to. You do get a sense that there was love and a longing for creation of a family from both Elvis and Pricilla, yet like he says at the end when she leaves him, the timing was wrong. He wanted the full experience of a career and home life as he saw it and she wanted a bf, a lover, a husband and a man, with whom she would never be lonely. The loneliness united them and if one would take fame out of the equation, perhaps they could have had it all. I feel Sofia did a very good job at respecting the things considered private and showing both the good and the bad. At times I felt parallels with Marie-Antoinette and happy that Princilla grew up and understood that it was time to leave, how brave of a decision was thay, given how her life was controlled and she had to now be on her own.
I'm grateful Pricilla is still alive to review this this movie and get her nuanced perspective of her life
Let's also respect Lisa Marie's feelings. None of us were there. This Priscilla's perspective , the truth is in the middle most of time. Mays she rest in peace
True
Remember when Winston Churchill said: "History will be kind to me…for I intend to write it." Notice how Elvis himself NEVER had a chance to say anything about HIS own story and how his own story is always kind to those who write it…but almost never kind to himself. That cannot be a coincidence. And the fact that Priscilla never gave him a chance to respond or defend himself is no coincidence either. Who owes nothing fears nothing…so what was Priscilla so afraid of?
I feel for this young lady being sold like a cow, mistreated, cheated and sexually abused by a man 10 years her senior… who by the way, stole his music from black people. Her life started after the divorce.
sexually abused?
@@Chris-rg6nm an adult having sex with a minor is sexual abuse
Wrong on every point. Why can't uninformed people research before making ignorant comments 🙄
Bs and more Bs
😊
I liked the movie. The only critic I have is that it starts when they met and it ends when she leaves Elvis's Home, so we never get to see Priscilla on her own!
Nice!
unfortunateley, there is another side of the story we will never hear. if only the dead could talk.
And that is?
Their side has always been told
@@trinat347 not elvis's side.
It’s not in certain people’s convenience for the dead to talk. That’s why they wait until they’re dead to tell the story for them.
What can he say that he was a pedo?
It blew my mind when i find out the women in naked gun is Priscilla Presley !
🎵 _Viva Las Vegas_ 🎵
You know that I haven’t watch this but I feel like this should be a hit because this is her side and I felt that 😪
It makes me very upset that his daughter would try to erase what happened to her mother just to protect the "image" of her father, whom already a a tainted image from all the stealing he did in his career
Exactly I think someone could be a good parent but not a good partner. Not because Elvis was good to her that doesn’t mean he did a lot of wrong things to Priscilla.
She didn’t tried to erase that, only that she was in a very difficult place since the two of them were her parents and how Elvis had a massive downfall mentally and physically and his horrible death
the woman that is famous just for been Elvis's wife but perfectly could be anyone else.
I’m a huge fan of elvis Presley’s I love 💕 elviss music and flims too I respect elvis and his family and friends too my dream is to visit Graceland and I always live elvis tcb ⚡️🕺2:49pm thanks I always live elvis
Does anyone knows where can stream it?
hurawatch
I had the feeling that why Lisa didn't like her. She'd probably didn't know her father was like that.
But she did know her mother…and her mother wasn’t exactly nice to her…unlike her father.
If you want the truth, you would have to read "Child Bride!"
I remember watching Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and Elvis and Priscilla were in her bedroom I think , and I was shocked at how she looked OLDER than Elvis in that scene. It think I would have felt better if she looked as young as she did in "Priscilla"
The amount of gaslighting was just insane, but considering it’s Nate Jacobs not surprising
Jacob Elordi is an actor playing a role and that doesn't mean the character is a reflection of anything about him as a person.
@@dannielleburrus6117 Dude chill tf out, it’s a joke about a character not an actor
1973: Elvis gives Priscilla what she asked for in the divorce. However she goes back to court after this demanding more money.
Result: Elvis sells his rights to his music catalogue going back to Sun Records all the way up to 1973 to RCA for $3M to pay Priscilla per the second divorce settlement/ suit. Elvis got less than half. Parker received more than half.
March 3, 1977: Elvis has his Last Will & Testament legally changed & goes to the Shelby Court Probate offices with Ginger Alden (his then girlfriend/ fiance), Charlie Hodge (long time friend & employee), Beecher Smith (elder family member that is an attorney & that represents Elvis as his Last Will, Testament, & Trust attorney), and Beecher Smith's wife, Anne Dewey Smith.
They meet in a small room adjacent to the Shelby Court Probate Clerk's office with Probate Judge W. Evans presiding during a 20 minute session.
According to the terms of the will, Vernon Presley will receive his son's personal property, quote, "including trophies and other items accumulated by me during my professional career." Vernon will also have quote, "complete freedom and discretion as to disposal of any and all such property so long as he shall do it in good faith and in the best interest of my estate."
Upon the death of Elvis's father and grandmother, all remaining assets of the trust will go to Lisa Marie Presley when she turns the age of 25, according to the will.
August 16, 1977: Elvis passes away at the age of 42. Lisa Marie is 9 years old.
Shortly after the death of Elvis, Priscilla finds out there is a new will and that she NOT mentioned in it.
1978: Priscilla sues the estate. Vernon contests it, saying she got a hefty divorce settlement and that she was, also, of course, receiving continued child support from the estate after Elvis's death.
1978: Vernon and the City of Memphis gets the ball rolling for Graceland to become a museum.
1979: Vernon has another heart attack and dies.
Note: Sometime before this he made Priscilla co- executor of the estate. Some people say Vernon had done this when she finally brought Lisa M. to see him in the hospital.
I cannot confirm if this is 100% true or not. But I do believe that this is the right decision because if Vernon hadn't Priscilla could have sued the estate heavily since she was at that time the sole guardian of Elvis's only heir, Lisa Marie. We definitely know that Priscilla was NOT a co- executor in 1978.
The Commerce Bank Of Memphis and Joseph Hanks were the other two co- executors (per Elvis's Last Will & Testament dictation).
After Vernon died, money was disappearing fast.
1980: Judge Joseph W. Evans appoints Blanchard E. Tual as Lisa Marie's sole probate and trust attorney to protect her interests pertaining to her father's estate (her inheritance).
Blanchard E. Tual immediately gets to work and noticed that Elvis's manager, Tom Parker, is still receiving 50% of the estate's total yearly income.
Blanchard E. Tual launches a legal investigation into Col. Tom Parker and his past financial dealings as well as his past origins and work history.
What Blanchard E. Tual uncovers is a long and tangled web of questionable conduct, origins, and also- pertaining to Elvis Presley specifically- a legal case of financial fraud and abuse.
August 15, 1981: Blanchard E. Tual reports to Judge Evans after a year long investigation of all that had been found out. Shortly after, Blanchard E. Tual files a suit against Tom Parker and at the same time Judge Evans dispatches a formal legal "cease and desist" letter to all three co- executors of the estate to stop payments to Tom Parker immediately.
The Bank of Commerce and Joseph Hanks are both willing to comply.
Priscilla is not. She bulks at first.
The suit is settled with Tom Parker owing $2M (US) to the estate and ordered to relinquish rights and ownership of all things Elvis he has.
After this, Judge Evans orders the co- executors to run and manage Graceland. Priscilla wanted Tom Parker. She was quickly denied by the judge in lieu of all that has since been uncovered about Tom Parker.
The Bank Of Commerce of Memphis wanted Jack Solden- he and his team continues to run Graceland today.
And oh let's not forget to mention that Priscilla asked Elvis way after the divorce the divorce for him to buy her dad a wine orchard. Elvis told her, "No." Then told Vernon that she was nothing more than a bloodsucker trying to drain him.
Great video. I also liked the movie very much.
Elvis and Me (1988) was her side of the story too, but much more detailed. Sophia used it but a more shorter and a cheaper version. I did not like this one.
It doesn’t matter if this was legal back in the day. There is still somewhat of a power dynamic.
I can believe her life could be lonely he was always away though I haven't seen the movie I remember the book Priscilla wrote in the 80s

for Priscilla Bealiue untilnow.
People make a big deal about Elvis about Elvis dating a 14year old, but it was very common back in 50s and 60s (look at the history of the Beach Boys, Jerry Lewis) and 70s (Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Jimmy Page) and 80s (Rolling Stone Bill Wyman dated a 13 yr old in his late 40s) R Kelly (married a 15yr old in the 90s) Celine Dion's husband who groomed her as a 13 yr old. The truth is this list is endless. I'm no big Elvis fan, but some artists get a free ride and others do not.
And the fact that in real life they were not even dating and Priscilla’s family were literally on a mission to trap Elvis because he showed no interest in Priscilla…is even better.
Honestly, I have never liked Lisa Marie. Over the years I’ve found her to be a rather selfish individual, and I think it’s time that Priscilla got her due. The fact that this movie satisfies her, is a testament to Sofia Coppola’s attention to detail and consideration of everyone involved. Sometimes the truth hurts.
If this movie were the truth then it would be one thing but perhaps, you and anyone else blindly accepting Priscilla's version need to ask yourself if you're believing the wrong person in the situation. Elvis wasn't perfect and no true fan of his would ever deny that but Elvis fans do the research. Priscilla being satisfied by the story is no big thing considering she was involved in making it and it erased the parts of her story where she does wrong like her own extra marital affairs that ruined the family of the man she left Elvis for, that most of this movie is wildly inaccurate, could be contradicted by Priscilla's own words at one point or another, and that ultimately, it's really convenient time to start telling your side of the story is after he died but that isn't something Priscilla wants any of her exes to do since she made her ex sign an NDA so that in the event of her death or their break up, he can't write a tell all book just like she did.
@@ElvisRose_ 👏🏻👏🏻 These comments are ridiculous. If they think what Priscilla shows in the movie is the truth, they only make me laugh 😂 They should do research but they are not interested in going further.She was more than what you see in the movie, as Elvis was much more than that. Priscilla had her faults too, she wasn't in the cage and if Elvis had been the monster she describes she would have left him years before. People are so naive. Obviously Coppola's intent was to focus on the dark side of Elvis to sanctify the poor female character.
Weirdo child abuser fans in the comments. Pretty gross. They even named themselves after him.
@@elvis78ale Yes and to get idiots lie spaceylacey83 to think he was a child abuser. I love how they're supporting a woman who just asked for either Elvis' father or grandmother to be dug up so she can be buried right next to her vicious abuser. It's even sadder when the film doesn't even touch upon the fraught relationship between she and Lisa Marie. Although, the funniest thing is idiots like that thinking Elvis could be "canceled" as he'll be remembered when the rest of us are dust!
Priscilla was abusive with lisa marie
Its interesting how Elvis wanted her to look:
He wanted her to have black hair, while he had black hair.
He wanted her hair to be big, while his hair was big.
He wanted her to have dark eye make up, while he had dark, long eyelashes.
Controlling anything about a person is of course worrisome, but controlling them to a point of making them physically resemble you also shows the void within themselves: 'If they love me and look like me, then that means at least some version of myself will love me....'
But tbh. She looks so good with black hair and those make up though . Elvis has style ❤❤
super star was very very lonely.
Pricilla'scheap lonely.
one more realisation about her book ! the first was very soon forgotten ! it's only her side of the story. After the passing of her ex husband she named herselft PRISCILLA PRESLEY the widow... she is not a Presley and a widow . Her only goal in life is make money on the back of Elvis and her daughter ....
Which I don’t understand is why to this day Priscilla is the one who controls Elvis legacy and still promotes his music and his work and it’s the owner of his properties. After what she suffered I would have left all of his legacy and move on
It's what she wants to do you know and honestly, if some guy would have groomed me for years and take a big part of my youngest years I will do they same as her, it's like reclaiming a little bit of justice that she will never have
i’ve only seen a few extracts of recent (2023) interviews of Priscilla talking about Elvis, and from the little i’ve seen she seems pretty delusional about the amount of abuse she suffered from him. She was still saying he was the love of her life and romanticizing their relationship. It makes sense though, that’s a very common coping mechanism in abusive relationships
@@gabyr.883😂😂😂 she only likes spotlight and money. This is the only thing she wanted from the beginning.
Human Beings have several sides of themselves. So Elvis does have different sides. Because he was a human and he was a man.
I wish they never did the movie, it's a huge flop and everyone is disappointed. it's so slow, dull, it's just terrible
And full of lies
BORING SLOW THE ACTOR AS ELVIS MUMBLES CONSTANTLY!!!!! LIKE I NEEDED SUBTITLES LMAOOOO BORING AS F!!!! THE ONLY PART I LIKED WAS HER FINDING ANITA WOOD'S LETTERS!!!!!! IN THE BEGINNING I LAUGHED SO HARD
Pretty wedding 💒
If that(what Elvis wanted from her) is the basic psychological human instinct people want from their partner, the only possible solution is boyfriend/girlfriend robots, not real humans in the cages.

“Based off of her memoir” based ON her memoir. Get a proofreader.
Priscilla herself and her ghostwriter, Sandra Harmon have admitted the memoir is basically pure fiction. Does that help?
This movie contradicts the book that was wrote , she admitted they were doing some heavy petting , foreplay , that is still sexual activity , and even photographing her , role playing . Sge claimed she was female fatal in the book, and the movie previously written based on her previous dramatization .
La película es muy aburrida. Una decepción sobre Sofía Coppola que hizo tan buenos films como Perdidos en Tokio y María Antonieta. Esta es muy muy diferente. Sin contar el cambio de la historia a favor de Priscilla mostrándola como una víctima. Que no lo fue.
The comment section is intense 😳 😅
10:19 =I honestly pity this child... At least I know my dad's bad sides... He may have not done it to me, but he has donw it to my mum and brothers... I acknowledge it. I saw how my mum was affected growing up. I am not sure of this child saw her mom well enough to understand everything...
This child was abused by her own mother in every single way possible…are you still surprised she didn’t want this movie to be made?
My only critiques of the movie are:
1. It should’ve been made clear immediately in the movie that she was NOT 14 when they started dating or when she moved in. It’s still pretty disturbing to me that a 20 something year old man would be having conversations somewhat frequently with a 14 year old, and it’s also disturbing to me that her parents essentially encouraged this. This is not an excuse, but I believe that the only reason Elvis was interested in Priscilla was because he was likely severely mentally and emotionally affected by the death of his mother for the rest of his life. Priscilla was around 17 or 18 when they started dating and when she went to Graceland for the first time and then moved in. The movie made it seem as if she was 14 when they started dating and when she moved in up until a few minutes of her living at Graceland in the movie. Obviously 18 is extremely young, but keep in mind that this was in the mid 60s and thankfully this is not the norm anymore.
2. Both of them had affairs. Obviously both are in the wrong for this. Priscilla had an affair with the karate instructor, but it is not mentioned in the movie. Elvis had affairs with some of his costars. Again, both sides were completely in the wrong. Cheating is absolutely disgusting and should never be condoned ever.
3. I felt like the dialogue could’ve been a lot better. To me the dialogue felt pretty slow and kind of repetitive, but I also kinda liked that for this movie if that makes sense. I absolutely loved the visuals/cinematography and the soundtrack was amazing
They met when she was 14 and he started courting her right then. What you call having frequent conversations was actually courtship of a 14 year old. Priscilla has made it clear that they never had sex until she bacame an adult, but the courtship started right away. The parents did not encourage this, they simply approved of it because as you mentioned, a lot of things were normalized back then. This should not only apply to Elvis but to everyone involved including Priscilla and her parents. Priscilla only cheated on Elvis after many many years of being neglected, oppressed, and cheated on by him which is only natural. I would not say that both of them were in the wrong, only Elvis was, as he was the instigator of what Priscilla eventually did. You can love him as an artist as well as his music but that does not mean that you can excuse his shitty behavior and minimize the abuse that Priscilla suffered. I know it was a different time period and that Elvis was dealing with issues of his own, but what he did was still wrong. I still like his music and acknowledge his talent though, but that’s a different thing. People should learn to separate those two.
I do agree that he desperately needed another "mother" role. It sounds strange I know, but maybe something about Priscilla reminded him of his mother. Later on in the book (I'm reading it currently) as Priscilla and Elvis were completely alone in his room, she describes how she treated Elvis almost like a child, that he had something very boyish about him. I just find that interesting. And that he wanted to have his room temperature freezing, appearently.
I think she was young in love with a father figure and she needed to please him her life was secondary to his. Unfortunately she grew up and Elvis wanted her to be a wife at home waiting to serve his needs like a mother. But that was my opinion no one was there but her and Elvis in that world.
Funny how Priscilla is trying to distance herself from the movie now.Because of all the flack and because it has bombed In the movies .Now Priscilla is blaming Sophia Coppolla for the depiction of Elvis in this Movie even though she was executive Prducer Youve got to give it to her Her Gaslighting has no bounds .Just a typical day in the life of Priscilla beaullieu.
Yes, really pathetic 😂
Priscilla is a hypocrite…just like Coppola herself, but a little bit more hypocritical.
She also became a Scientologist. Where does this fit in on her growth/new life?

If that what Priscilla really is, Elvis was dumb enough to marry her. Plus he was an adult, should’ve known better.
Priscilla is no angel she cheated on Elvis to
Sorry but this is one of the most boring movie i have ever seen.
She was never alone there
It's a wrong side.

All hearsay. And a lot if lies. Also yall are forgetting to mention the fact that Priscilla moved in with Elvis, when she was 18
I don't
O please....this making Elvis out to be a monster. In a nut shell Elvis was by no means lacking in/for female company. Priscilla was the agressor and in persuit. Elvis was not in love with her, he was in love with having a pure woman who would be his Southern Belle. His true love was June Juanico. Although june n priscilla look nothing alike they have similar features; dark hair, blue eyes. June was not a run around as cilla was/is. Priscilla is trying to rewrite history.

There are people here in the comments defending Elvis. That's wild to me. What he did to Priscilla was very wrong.
Oh please 😂😂😂 when she moved at Graceland and started the relationship she was almost 18. At that time girls got married at that age.
I agree He was not the husband he should have been I think she did the right thing by leaving him That doesn't mean she stopped loving n caring for him I believe he still loved her n never got over her
You don’t wanna see the people defending Priscilla.
The age gap relationship would have been okay IF Priscilla was at least 18, at least if she can vote then she can probably get married.
Tbh I think it's still not okay since your brain is literally not fully developed yet....
Just vote? How about "legally file for divorce"? You keep hearing about parents marrying off their teenage daughters who then cannot divorce their shitty older husbands because they're legally too young to sign the divorce papers. If you can get legally married, you should be able to legally file for divorce too. And that's only scratching the surface with these kinds of "relationships".
@@Fingerscrossedout18 and 20 is fine. 18 and 30 not so much. I cant imagine dating someone 20 at my age

In real life she was 18 when everything actually began…and she was 22 when she got married. And noticed I said "in real life".
We've heard nothing but Priscilla's side of the story for nearly 50 years, since Elvis died. This despicable woman has lived off the corpse of her dead ex husband for all that time and her stories about Elvis change all the time. Priscilla has become rich and famous because she was married to Elvis Presley for a short time and he should now be allowed to R.I.P.
I understand that it was his daughter but I am very disappointed by the way she did not want to defend his mother.
Elvis didn't kidnap her 😂😂 Priscilla in this movies hides so much about her you can't imagine 🤦🏻♀️
Her mother is a psychopath who abused her since even before she was born. Now you understand why she didn’t defend her?
Nobody cares. How long is Pricilla going to milk this?
Looks like a sleeper. And the actor who portrays EP in this version seems a bit too tall and mumbles his lines.
While Elvis has done questionable things, Elvis and Priscilla were surrounded friends and family. All housewives experience loneliness as their husband is out in the world. If on the fame aspect Priscilla couldn't live a normal life, it makes sense then. A major chunk of the world's female population still become housewives and they experience the same loneliness if not more. It's just weird that this narrative is being pushed as a way to defame Elvis' character when all housewives experience this in some form or the other. And Elvis being Elvis, he always had people around him and so did Priscilla.
All lies she wouldn't leave him alone she could have left when ever she wanted too he didn't want to marry her
Elvis Took advantage of her. But a lot of men take advantage of women and women take advantage of men. It's a old story oldest time itself. I would not have let her move in with him until she was eighteen.
She was 18 when she moved with him and he wasn’t even home at that time. At least that’s what happened in real life.
He did not take advantage of her .

Excuse me, she did not grow into adulthood in a "gilded cage". It took her a while after Elvis had died to become an actual adult. Before that, she was still a kid, pampered by wealth and fame, etc, etc.
And it's not a biopic if you just straight up make things up about stuff that aren't in the books. Especially if those things are subjective, derogatory, defaming.
If Elvis was alive today, he would sue for libel, because it is libel.
This is slander and defamation, but since one of the parts is not present to speak…nobody cares.
