Priscilla Review: Darker Than I Expected
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- A review of Sofia Coppola's 'Priscilla'. I'm a fan of Coppola's work and she has wowed us, yet again! I really don't like most recent biopics (and I explain why in this video) but was this movie an exception? Priscilla is a 2023 American biographical drama film written, directed, and produced by Sofia Coppola, based on the 1985 memoir Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley and Sandra Harmon. It follows the life of Priscilla and her complicated romantic relationship with Elvis Presley.

#priscilla
I love how this is the flipside to the same coin that was baz luhrmans elvis last year. That movie was loud and big and brash and colourful while priscilla is a much smaller, thoughtful and intimate movie. Both of their stories were so sad, elvis was a prisoner of fame and abuse from the colonel while priscilla was the classic bird in a cage. And what happened to lisa marie was so so tragic
I agree that they were both birds in a gilded cage.
It's telling that Elvis was in a lot more of Priscilla's biopic, yet she barely featured in his.
It’s based on the book ‘Elvis and Me’ so that’s literally what the book is about
She’s talking about the other movie Baz Luhrmans Elvis
@@bubblegumbitch2191yeah but the point of the book the movie is based on, is that it’s her time spent with Elvis. It ends shortly after, only giving a brief description of her life after the divorce. The Elvis bio is based on his entire life
@@emilycox6560 I think they meant, in Priscilla's eyes Elvis WAS her whole world, her life revolves around this man and he was all she knew.
While with Elvis, you can tell Priscilla is his wife and all, but she had barely a drop of impact on his life as what he had to hers
Because they would've had to acknowledge her age when they met and how wrong their relationship was. The Elvis movie purposely doesn't mention that she was 14, just that she was a "teenager"
Even though Priscilla and Elvis didn't marry until she was 22 and he was 32, it's disturbing that she was 14 when they met. The large age gap also suited their mismatch.
It's not big age gap...
@@petiaivailova2563….its 10 years
@@petiaivailova2563 Not if you're an adult, she was a PRE-TEEN.
@@societycrumbleswhat are you on about pre- teen’s 14
Yeah but he left Germany a couple of months after he met her AND she didn’t see him till she moved to the USA and she was 17 going on 18
I thought it was interesting that pretty much everyone was cast to be noticably taller than prisilla
That was to make Priscilla look small and helpless- a victim. That has been her tac for the last few years, trying to make herself look like his victim, when in fact, she devastated his life.
@@saphireblue3563she was still a victim. Humans aren’t one thing-being imperfect doesn’t change the fact that she was a victim, and being a victim doesn’t magically make her an angel.❤
@@essies4294 HOW was she a victim? Name it. Oh, that's right, you can't because it never existed.
@saphireblue3563 maybe the time he started dating her when she was a minor?
The one thing I still think about after watching the film is this: When Priscilla and Elvis are alone, they are always in bed. Or at least in a bedroom. As someone who was also gr00med in their teen years, I think it is a (tragically) beautiful detail.
Oh my god
I also noticed that. But why is that?
@@hem4617 I would say it’s because the director wanted to highlight the predatory nature of the relationship
@@gagischon an! I'd agree. I think I phrased my question ambigiously. What I wanted to ask is why such a couple would spend most of their time together in the bedroom? Is it because the man has no interest in her company outside of the bedroom?
@@hem4617 yes, unfortunately, that would be the case. Elvis was more interested in what Priscilla could offer him sexually. He didn’t love her. As Serena pointed out in the video, when Priscilla would say, “I love you” or “I miss you” on the phone, he would not say it back :(
People didn’t get married at FOURTEEN in the 60’s, they got married at like 19.
Yes and Elvis and Piricilla got married when she was 21
Not totally true
he started courting her when she was 14. That's grooming.
Elvis married her when she was almost 22.
@@rasheed9705 You probably dont even know the definition of grooming.
The vibe i got was that he didnt really want her, he wanted someone he could mold into what he wanted. He wanted the idea of a perfect wife.
Pretty much true. Most groomers do.
I watched a documentary of Elvis and I learned that Elvis was a twin whose brother died at birth. As a result his mother was over protective of him and lived for him. I think that's why he wanted a young woman who would spoil him and be there just for him like his mother was.
Spot on. A more mature man would have recognised a true soul mate in Ann Margaret, when he saw it.
Another great review, Serena! Id love to see you do a review/analysis on the Black Swan - it’s such a classic!😍
I really enjoyed the film. But am sick with the whole time being different excuses like it was wrong then and now. If a celebrity today is in a relationship being a 14-year-old today people are disgusted. I still enjoyed the film and rewatched it more times than I would like to admit to. I liked how when we first see the house it is glamorous and loud and full, by the end you want to leave the house since it is quiet and lonely. I also just liked the aesthetic and style of the film which I think helped with the idea of her life from the outside being glamorous and beautiful. I know people complained about Jacob being taller than the real Elvis but I think it was great to show the age difference between the two. I thought the actress of Priscilla did a really good job.
Fashion is a huge part of this film, especially with Priscilla In the beginning she wears more teenage childish outfits with cardiages skirts necklaces messy brown coloured ponytails etc, then when she gets with Elvis and moves in she dyes her hair black, and her makeup and clothes are more Elvis, by the end she dresses differently and different makeup and hair stopped being huge. By the time she leaves him it shows how she had changed due to Elvis and getting control when she left while Elvis is still dressed in an Elvis-like costume.
I enjoyed all of the actors and acting in the film and how it showed the themes well of loneliness etc. Sorry for going on for so long I'm just so passionate about Priscilla/Elvis-related.
You do realize that he left her in Germany when she as 14 and she didn't move in with him until she was 18? She was in Germany whooping it up with a lot of other guys.
You don't need to share blood with someone to be their real parent. I think Priscilla considers the man who raised her to be her father, and he considers her his daughter, and that's why the technicality wasn't included in the movie. It's simply not relevant to either of them. I can't speak to what either of Priscilla's parents were thinking, letting her move in with a grown man as an underage girl, but listening to Priscilla talk about her family and vice versa, it doesn't seem to reflect a lack of care.
I think it would be so fun if you would do a deep dive into "the nanny" 😅😁 i loved that show as a kid
Totally❤ Fran is na icon 🔥 and i also grew up on this show and still live it
OMG yes!!! I would love that!! I feel that's one show that aged well (minus the whole thing where a woman has to be married otherwise she can't be happy lol).
To me the movie felt almost relentlessly nightmarish and claustrophobic (in a good way)
You should listen to the book it’s based on, Elvis & Me, on Audible because Priscilla narrates it. The film adapts the book so faithfully.
I don’t think the film is trying to portray their relationship as bad or good, just like the book. It’s recounting the exact events and it’s up to individuals to interpret how they feel about it.
Yeah that’s what it seemed to me; like a more neutral presentation
It does not stick to the movie at all. There are many lies and omissions to make Elvis look like an abuser.
No it does not match the book.
Her "stepfather" raised her as his own. I don't think her bio dad had much involvement in her life. I think her "step" dad cared for her and felt all the same pain her mother felt letting her go.
Her bio dad was killed when she was an infant and her mom shortly after remarried.
Pricilla and blond are two different sides of the same coin. With Priscilla, they toned down the trauma and abuse. Blonde exaggerated and even at times made up traumatic situations.
Blonde was grotesque and insulting to MM's legacy. Even the director said himself he wanted to make a M-17 rated Marilyn movie. Fuck that guy
They didnt' tone down any abuse. There wasn't any.
Elvis and Priscilla having long conversations does not erase or lessen the abuse.
What abuse exactly?
Wasn't there an actor from Lost who married a 16 year old the parents signed off on? 😮
Yeah I believe it was the guy who played Horace, Doug Hutchison 😬
Gross.
@@allisonyoung8549 thank you for doing the research for me ☺️ I forgot which one it was
Courtney Stodden is her name and she's only 29 now! thankfully she seems to be in a better relationship
That guy was also in "The green mile" movie. Excellent movie by the way and he played his role well, cause he's equally disgusting in real life.
I don't think Beaulieu wants her life after Elvis well-explored, as Scientology is very unpopular nowadays.
I’m so sorry this comment is irrelevant but I’m losing sleep over it. The scene where she’s walking across the carpet, it’s described as she’s not leaving footprints in the carpet, but she’s clearly sinking into it, and we can’t see the footsteps behind her so we can’t see if there’s an imprint left. Am I seeing things wrong?
My review: I watched the movie. 0/5. The casting is soooo bad that it’s makes the inaccurate storyline just cringy bad from scene to scene. I was shocked that somebody actually approved this to go into theaters. It’s not even TV movie quality- more like freshman student grade from a nepotism C student that got help from a family member. Seriously folks, the story is not true. Zero evidence - there is no person that ever lived and not one shred of evidence that corroborates that any of this ever happened. And Priscilla is clearly lying here. Film was the worst I’ve ever seen in a theater.
None of this stuff probably ever happened. She paints a picture in the movie that Elvis was a creepy child molester - yet tells a judge in real life that she DEMANDS TO BE BURIED RIGHT NEXT TO HIS COFFIN SIDE BY SIDE FOR ETERNITY IN HIS BACKYARD!!!! .. even though she divorced him 50 years ago and has had a child with another man and her own life with other people for half a century. Priscilla ruined her own credibility when she stole millions of dollars from Elvis trust without her own daughters consent. She stole from her child. She is an untrustworthy gold digger and fraudster.
I have yet to see this movie but it sounds really eye-opening
I love your videos!
thankyouuu
I think I | Will Always Love You was chosen because Elvis rejected the song and told Dolly that a woman could never make it a huge hit
He never said that 😂😂😂😂
Elvis didnt reject it you fool. It wad his manager who didnt agree with Dollys demands. Elvis liked the song and sung that to Pricilla when they divorced.
Eh? LOL
Watched the movie after seeing your review. Had a great time, many thanks!
I gotta admit, the guy was a groomer.
Love his music, but he was a groomer.
The movie is a work of propaganda, most of it is untrue.
I would love to know which things contradict the book? I thought it was really spot on despite leaving a lot out. Both left me a crying mess.
Elvis was not a giant and Priscilla was not a midget. In real life he was not even a foot taller than she was. He did not leave her alone, isolated in Graceland. There were many other people in the house. She shortly graduated highs school and he bought her a car and she had a bottomless credit card. Many people have said they were friends with Priscilla and did a lot of things with her despite her trying to make it look like she was isolated. In the book he threw a chair but not at her. A record flew off of it and hit her. In the movie she has him throwing a chair at her. There were other things.
So of topic but I think you have a cold undertone to your skin, so I think maybe a darker brown or black hair color would make your eyes pop and look even prettier💕
this is interesting thankyou!! does anyone agree?
Maybe a little like Audrey Hepburn, she had a snow white thing going for her too...
But sometimes getting the right tone is so hard...best of luck- great review

@@colettejames9754”Snow White” hahahahaha thankyou ❤️😂
A quick way to see if your skin is warm or cool toned is to look at the veins in your wrist/arm. Are they blue? Then you’re likely cool toned. Are they greenish? Then you’re more likely warm. And if you have a hard time deciding, maybe you’re more neutral.
Truth is nobody would watch that sequel. I would find it Intersting, also how she built Graceland and Elvis s memory to an empire. But also how she didn't wanna give up control when the next generation was supposed to take over. I just don't know if people would wanna go see that
She didn't build it into anything. She was just the spokesperson for EPE, getting 900,000 dollars a year without Lisa's knowledge.
Jerry Lee Lewis was 22 when he married Myra
She was 13
Loretta Lynn was 13 when she married Dolittle who was 21
Priscilla was 21 when she married Elvis
Elvis was 32
You started this off by saying you were not dragging Elvis or Priscilla as actual people but therein lies the problem... they're actual people not characters to analyze. The movie is wildly inaccurate to the person Elvis Presley was in real life, the person Priscilla Presley is in real life, and their relationship. Sadly, you'd have to know a lot more about both to know just how inaccurate it is at telling the story of their relationship or her life story but that is also the problem with biopics, people assume they're getting accurate information instead of leading them to extremely false conclusions which in this case is that Elvis was a controlling abuser that groomed his innocent naive victim Priscilla who is without flaw or mistake because that is how Priscilla has been telling the story since after Elvis died but the real truth about her is much different. The actual truth about Priscilla, the movie or the person, once you know more about her is that it is really the story of an unreliable narrator.
The movie is a fraud - and this reviewer has no idea of the facts of their lives
between your comments on your Once Upon A Time adoption issues and this comment about her step dad not being (obviously) her bio-dad and that "maybe influencing" how protective he was of his stepdaughter really rub me the wrong way. I obviously am not involved with Priscilla or her mom, but her bio-dad died the same year she was born, and her mother married her step dad 3 years later, so that step dad raised Priscilla and acted as her father. Even the clip you play has Priscilla talking about how her parents (emphasis on that plural) were freaking out and didn't know what to do, which indicates there's not a huge chasm there. I know many people aren't that aware of how adoption can affect you/families, but it's time for society to start listening because these types of things, this type of dialogue can be really problematic.
why dose media flatter Priscilla Bealiue from long
time ago?media believed Priscilla Bealiue'sselfpromotion.
I loved this so much
marriage for money
divorce for money
cheap woman
cheap movie
Pricilla and Copolla ignored

Pricilla and Copolla hurted
him for moneymaking
Priscilla Bealiue depends on Presley'sname and money throughout her life untilnow
but no thanks no
respect
I can clear it up for you with facts. Not opinion or Priscilla’s BS.
The short story: Priscilla Presley was 21yrs old when she got married. Not 14 like so many think. 21. And she stated that she was a virgin on her wedding night. So zero sex beforehand. All verifiable facts.
The longer story: Elvis was not a pedophile. Priscilla was IN GERMANY and dating for 95+% of her teen years.
Elvis was busy in the US making movies dating 20s somethings such as Natalie Wood and Ann Margaret. There was NO TIME or LOGISTICS for "grooming" or sex. There was an OCEAN in the way!!
LMOST IMPORTANTLY --- There was NO SEX and NO MARRIAGE until Priscilla was of age.
Priscilla stated that she was a VIRGIN on the night of her wedding. Priscilla was 23 years old when she gave birth to Lisa Marie.
So this was NOT outrageous like it is today with teens having babies at 14 years of age.
Lastly, AGE OF CONSENT in the United States was 16 years old in the 1960s. So no sex or no marriage until both sides were at least 16 years old. Priscilla was IN GERMANY from the age of 14 through 17.
So Elvis didnt have a chance to even see her again until she was almost 18 and by then it was perfectly fine for them to have sex BUT HE DID NOT BECAUSE he was thousands of miles away making movies and dating adults.
They wouldn't have sex until after marriage when she was 21..
So it was IMPOSSIBLE for Elvis to have been a "pedo" by today's standards or 1960s standards.
Steve thank you so much for defending Elvis. I wish more fans would do the same. The new fans or younger generation is being completely brainwashed.
In Priscilla's book, Elvis asking her for a break while pregnant dud happen, so it wasn't fictional.
It drives me crazy about how Elvis and Priscilla were both groomed, Priscilla was groomed by Elvis but he was groomed by the fame and abuse of his manager, it really was a continuous cycle of abused becomes abuser
Oh please. Everyone has his or her own brain and they are responsible for their own actions. Unless it is a small child there is no such thing as grooming.
@@saphireblue3563 that's my opinion..... its fine for u to have your own and its ok for me to have mine too, its not like we'll ever know what they were thinking at the time
@@sumicest True of course. But your opinion is such a "faddish" one. That is, it is the current thought that everyone was groomed, no one has a brain of their own.
She is a Master manipulator! The devil in disguise. Coppola should be ashamed of her self! The man is not here to tell his story....
If Graceland was poorhouse Priscilla Bealiue didn't go to there.

ELVIS is the better film.
“End of story. Bye bye. See you later”. - Shrek
Priscilla is delusional, not only the discrepancies in heights, where the actor is 6foot 7 inches and elvis isv6 foot, but the girl is under 5 feet and Priscilla is 5 foot 4 inches. There are pictures of Priscilla in Germany with elvis and she looks to be in her 20's with short curly hairdos and not the childish pony tail hairdos in the movie
It is a complete "oh poor me, the victim of the awful Elvis" propaganda film. Remember that Priscilla was the producer.
It will never end with priscilla as long as there is money to be made off of EPE
Jacob Elordi is finally getting the recognition he deserves!
Evils had a toxic boy mom. I believe he wants someone he could hold into the person his mother was both physically and emotionally. I know the 50s and 60s were a different time, but Percilla's parents were terrible to let grown man near their daughter like that. I was happy Pircilla got the strength she needed to leave him and was able to tell her story today.
Oh what a terrible monster 😂😂😂😂 Priscilla only hoped to be the center of his life ..she discovered very soon she will never be and she found someone else and many others after.
Why didn't she leave him before she married him? She didn't need "strength" to leave him. She needed five years of marriage so she could rip him off for the biggest divorce settlement.
@@elvis78ale I doubt that she wanted to be the center of his life. She complained that when he was home it was "all about him". I guess she thought it should be all about her.
The book and movie of this story are both "good", by good I mean deeply interesting and very sad. The book goes into her later life a little more.
There was this one scene where she was all done up with make up and wearing a nice dress and just starring out the window and I just , “ he’s turned into a doll. One he can play with when HE wants.”
Yes she was just staring out the window, unable to leave her prison, Graceland, when Elvis gave her a car and a bottomless bank account. Priscilla never seems to think that people will remember the truth or the things that she has said in the past.
Didn't care for the Priscilla movie...meh....Listen to what Billy and Jo said about the Priscilla years....Priscilla wanted to do her hair and makeup...Elvis never demanded what she wear....see what other girlfriends said about how they looked......Priscilla was always busy enjoying herself with Elvis' family's gfriends or the wives of bodyguards....when i first saw Priscilla while in Hollywood in 67 and 68 she was always smiling to fans and enjoying herself....there are pictures of her in Hollywood in 64 and 65 she was not imprisoned and lonely in Graceland....the movie was a lot of b.s. you could tell Sofia didn't care for Elvis......let's trash him...i met Elvis a few times and you could tell he truly loved his fans....that's all that matters to me as a fan....met Priscilla 6 times and always nice to the fans for sure.....movie too dark and cheaply made......sure Elvis was no angel....but neither was Priscilla lol.....
Okay
i think priscilla is lying about elvis and her in the bedroom long hours... he was most of time making movies out in hollywood. plus elvis had his buddies with him all the time, i doubt he wanted to be alone with her at all. priscilla will always be mad at the fact that when ANN . M came in the scene she almost lost elvis to ann.m thats why she shows her and elvis in the bedroom alone she wants ann m to see it but ann m has said she will never watch any movies that come out about elvis.
Ann said that?
Any true Elvis fan would not watch this rubbish
We need to watch it so we can answer it.
Feel so awful for this woman, she’s alone and still so young :( He ruined her life!!
OMG!! The movie is a complete lie, produced by Priscilla the habitual liar!! She had a car and a bottomless credit card and could go anywhere, do anything, buy anything she wanted! The problem was, she could not do the one thing she wanted to do which was to go into show business, the ambition that she hid from Elvis when she married him (because she knew that he did not want a wife in show business). She stayed with him just long enough to get the best settlement, left him, got her money and got herself a movie agent. She conned Elvis into marrying her, used him, robbed him in divorce court and is now trying to make herself look like the victim. Elvis loved her and when she left him he went down and down and died.
I will always love you was the song Elvis sung to Pricilla when they divorced. They remained friends and Pricilla has talked only good about Elvis to this day.
More Priscilla crap. Elvis still loved her but she in no way cared about him. When she took him back to divorce court, she took him for so much money that he had to sell the rights to his old hits causing him to have to live off just what he got by touring. Out of that he had to support himself, his family, all the families who worked for him and keep paying Priscilla ridiculous amounts of money every month. Then when he was close to death in 1977 she put a lien on Graceland.
her parents were irresponsible gold diggers and elvis was a controller...poor girl
🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
She lived with him for 4 years, didn't have to marry him but did - how is that a 'poor girl'? You clearly don't know much about Priscilla, there is NOTHING 'poor' about her!
Oh please Elvis was not a controller. Shortly after they married, Priscilla dressed the way she wanted did her hair the way she liked. Elvis was not controlling her.
@@saphireblue3563 Exactly. Elvis had something better to do than controlling her 😑 She has changed so many looks and styles, before and after Elvis, that I hardly doubt Elvis had something to do with that. No other woman ever complained he was a controller. They all had their own styles and he liked them all. Priscilla likes the "poor me" role, just to gain consent around because, except for Elvis, nobody will care about her. 🤣
Oh please. She had her own brain and made her own decisions.
Tragedy?? 😂😂😂😂😂 Oh please 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Elvis has been trapped from the beginning from her but especially from her family. In a few months he left and they were in 2 different continents for 2 years. They just share seldom phone calls. Elvis came back to his girlfriend Anita Wood. 😂😂😂 The "grooming" stuff is ridiculous and out of contest
*Context. He shouldn’t even had called her at all. Of course, whenever he’s in between girlfriends or feeling like it he calls the hopeful teen girl for a nice distraction. Don’t EVER put hope in the heart of a child about a possible romance. As the adult it’s his job to make firm of the boundaries.
The moment he came across her at 14, even if was in passing and not with a romantic undertone, it threw out any normal dynamic for a future relationship. She’s no longer an option, and it’s not right.
Even if you view the courting period as ‘not grooming’ you can’t deny he got the desired result: he got her to marry him, to mesh and depend on him, to change her physicality and be submissive to his lifestyle compared to his other more headstrong and older girlfriends.
He would’ve kept her like a pet for far longer if he could’ve. colonel and management strong armed him for having a young unmarried girl in his house. They had to get married. It was a bad look and not a secret. I don’t know what Elvis’s long term plan was with her.
@@surette2012 she wrote to him too. Blame her family who allowed everything.
Elvis had morality clauses in his contract and he was blowing them. Playing the field whilst a teeny bopper was sitting on a pedestal at his home. Virginal and visually morphing into his mother. 👀 seven years or however long they played this weird game where he got his rocks off without tarnishing her virginity; just heavy petting and acts. Yeah… it’s off coloured, man.
The colonel was pissed, her father was pissed. Colonel Parker (Elvis' manager) said quote: ‘Either you should get married or go on. If you’re not getting married, then what are you doing?’"
They were living in unmarried sin and her father was so frustrated with this he said he’d go after Elvis for travelling over state lines with his then minor daughter.
You can’t pretend Elvis wasn’t playing a really dumb game here.
@@surette2012 Elvis had his faults but I never believed he forced Priscilla to go to Graceland or create a sort of illusion. Priscilla and her family knew what they were doing and who he was. Maybe he only thought at the beginning she could be the right one. Her parents saw the deal and built their trap. We have only her version of facts and she has changed her narrative so many times that it's hard to believe her anymore. This movie has taken all the bad parts of the book, put together to show the story with a specific purpose. That book was written in 1985..she herself claimed many things in it were over-dramatized to be sensational .Priscilla molded herself to be what Elvis preferred, trying to be interesting to his eyes, pushed by her mother, because she didn't want to lose the opportunity to be Mrs Presley. Too easy now to give faults to him as he was the controller. In this movie they don't show her affairs in the marriage and that she left him for a married man who was waiting for a child from his wife. Priscilla was not a saint. This movie is pure garbage especially for this reason. Facts are distorted and specially selected to show Elvis as the monster and her as a pure innocent girl. Relationships are more complicated than this. Judging their story with today's parameters is absolutely useless and unfair.
The point is Presley shouldn't have wanted her in Graceland at all.
