I'm actually gonna throw a curveball and say my choice is Mel Blanc. Keep in mind my choice was gonna be Jim Henson but Disney optioned the rights already.
There was no sex scenes because the book was not sexually graphic and detailed on their sex life, the graphic parts were his addiction, his explosive temper tantrums, and his paranoid mental breakdowns
@@reallykeon about Priscilla already being sexually active at 14 with the boys in Germany and going out at night climbing out her window 🪟 she liked the bad boys
@@reallykeon in the book the child bride this person got to talk to people who knew both elvis and priscilla. family and friends. she got all her info to write the book and some of priscilla friends said priscilla was not this nice person she potrays herself to be. she was already having sex at 14 with the boys her age at germany and sneaking out of her window late at night. her stepfather was a drunk and when priscilla had her friends over he hit on them priscilla has told them at night she used to lock her bedroom door becaus she didnt trust her stepdad!! it has alot of info that would open your eyes to the truth go and buy this book i hope they make it to amovie the same way priscilla is bashing elvis how does she like it when it done to her.
If anything was illustrative that Priscilla was groomed by Elvis - it's that all these years later - with him dead, and her in control of a film about her life - the film still begins when she met Elvis, and ends when she leaves him. In the context of the film, there is no Priscilla without Elvis, and I found that to be quite sad.
It’s so sad. Especially since she went on to do tours of Graceland. She’s never been able to be her own person without being in his shadow. It’s so depressing
All she has EVER cared about was wanting people to keep their relationship alive. She doesn’t even acknowledge he was marrying someone else at the time of his death. She was done with him, but once he was gone… she rewrote history.
@@gabriellaberman She could have been "her own person". All she had to do was stop trying to make herself a star by using Elvis, and stop trying to use him to make money.
It wasn't until just before the 20th century where the majority of the world changed its outlook on these relationships & Priscilla continuously admits that nothing about the toxicity had to do with anything sexual.
YOU MADE THE MISTAKE OF BELIEVING PRISCILLA's nonsense without researching. Elvis WAS NOT WITH PRISCILLA when she was 14. There WAS NO RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND. Elvis was in love with Anita Wood when she was 14. PRISCILLA was the predator. Elvis and Lisa Marie were the victims. There is NO EYEWITNESS OR EVIDSENCE TO ANY OF PRISCILLA'S accusations. ZERO. Elvis KNEW that Priscilla was a DISHONEST GOLD DIGGER. And so did many people around Elvis. This is a ONE SIDED film OF LIES, COVERING UP HER LIES. Elvis WAS RIGHT: CREDIBILITY FAIL #1: Priscilla stole from Lisa Marie's trust fund by paying herself $900,000, out of Lisa Marie's trust fund WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT!! Total financial damage: $16 million. CREDIBILITY FAIL #2: It's believed now that Marco Garibaldi/Garcia EMBEZZLED $15 MILION from Lisa Marie's trust fund. Co-trustees Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu and Barry Siegel pressured Lisa Marie to sell 85% of her EPE-shares because it would be financially advantageous for them as trustees of Lisa Marie's trust fund. Never mind Lisa Marie's financial interests! CREDIBILITY FAIL #3: After taxes Lisa Marie had $45 MILLION left from the sale of her EPE-shares. That money was squandered by Barry Siegel; he invested it in his own company, that went broke. He never paid Lisa Marie back. CREDIBILITY FAIL #4: After all her uncorroborated accusatory nonsense that Elvis was a creepy child molestor --- she DEMANDS --- IN COURT OF LAW --- TO BE BURIED RIGHT NEXT TO HIS COFFIN SIDE BY SIDE FOR ETERNITY IN HIS BACKYARD.. moving Elvis' beloved mother and fathers resting places!!!! ....... 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.
@@mrheisenberg5780 but they should of simply NOT made the movie. We've come to the sense that it was Wrong , and disgusting , but yet they continue to try to justify or rectify , or romanticize it. Elvis was a fucking pedo, and not even they artist they claim he was. He copy pasted his style, mannerisms , dances and songs from African Americans. He is a fraud that simply got over. and should just be remembered as such
honestly i think coppola having both actors with a drastic height difference is such a subtle detail that subconsciously screams how young she looks/is compared to him and it just really gives emphasis to how she was just a little girl when all of this had happened
I noticed that too on how this movie really focused on how young much younger she was than him the movie. Priscilla looks like a child. She looked ridiculous when she started dressing up. She looked like a child in adult clothes. Unfortunately I couldn't stop thinking Amy Winehouse 😄
No it tries to make her look like he bullied her, and tries to make it look like she was small and helpless compared to him. It also tries to make it look like she was much younger than she was in real life. In other words it tries to smear Elvis.
I found it funny that Lisa Marie at first slammed Sofia Coppola's script for making Elvis look bad in this movie when the movie was told entirely from how Priscilla views Elvis as an ex husband. Just because he was a good father to Lisa Marie doesn't mean that he was a good husband to Priscilla. Two people have a different perspective on the same person 🤷
Lisa Marie made it clear that she felt that way because she didn't want them to paint her father in a bad light, which is something that most people understandably don't want or don't want to face even if it's true. But the main reason Lisa Marie was opposed to this movie being made was just because of the negative attention it would draw to her family, and she didn't want to put her kids through the negative press that would come from it. She always wanted her children to have normal lives, and not have to live in the shadow of their grandfather's legacy. Something that arguably they've already been through, and I'm sure didn't help the situation her son was in when she lost him to suicide. Besides Riley, she has two other daughters who are barely teenagers now, and she didn't want them to have to deal with the backlash of a movie that drew everyone's eyes to the worst aspects of their grandfather's character. Her first priority was always to protect her children, and whether you agree or disagree with the merits of this film, I hope we can all agree that her reasoning was valid. There's no reason to pit mother against daughter here. Just let them live, and Lisa rest in peace.
@@PlanR Well people can watch Elvis from Baz Luhrmann if she wants people to see Elvis in the lightest way as possible eventhough that movie also focuses on Elvis' addiction to drugs, cheating and alcohol all that stuff but atleast it still champions what his career was like. But still, whenever someone makes something good like Elvis, there's always going to be a darker side of the person involved.
I did actually! and people's response to this movie saying its tarnishing his legacy proves the point. famous people can get away with anything. @@saphireblue3563
Also the fact that her own future husband ENROLLED HER IN HIGH SCHOOL is INSANE and should be enough for people to stop justifying how "normal" this was "back in the day." Sofia Coppola did a great job of highlighting how, even back then, people were constantly commenting and aware of how young she was- to poke a needle in that balloon of "reasoning."
Thank you! There are too many people here defending him! Like, the only people I’ve seen defend pedophiles, are pedophiles. So, the question is, are the people defending his actions pedophiles? If not, STOP DEFENDING A MAN WHO PREYED UPON A CHILD! It doesn’t matter if that’s what was ‘done’ in the 20 century, people were still disgusted by it! You can look it up! It’s genuinely terrifying how many people excuse what he did because he was famous.
OMG if you know nothing you should not post. When Priscilla came to live at Graceland, she had only a few weeks of high school left, so little in fact, that she only went half days. When she graduated, Elvis bought her a car, so she was never stuck and left in the house alone, as the movie tries to present.
@@PrincessRhys394 She was not a child she was a teenager. Are you so stupid that you don't know the definition of "pedophile"? It means someone who wants to have sex with a pre-pubescent child, not someone who just dates a teenager. In no way did he prey on her! To say that you have to demonstrate that he did something wrong to her and he didn't. Not because he was famous because he was good to her and did nothing wrong.
They never "had sex" but he gave her pills where she'd be in asleep for up to days in their bedroom? Girl... I think you need to re-evaluate what happened to you. That's very scary.
@@toriazheng3598That part wasn’t explained very well. Of course they had sex, but after her pregnancy he refused to sleep with her because he liked to have her on this weird untouchable pedestal, which is also creepy for different reasons.
10 years is a big fucking gap. It should be culturally appropriate to have a +/- 4 not 10. If I can't fuck someone in elementary I shouldn't be able to wait 10years until I fucking can
Well the age of consent in Germany is 14. You might think it’s bad, and yeah based on American laws you’d be correct. In Germany it’s legal… Edit: Appreciate all the responses to my comment! Some do jump to conclusions, thinking I’m defending adults being with 14 yrs olds. This is not the case as I was just talking about the Laws in the country they married in (eventually). WE know the 2 didn’t sleep together until their wedding 8 years later, making her 22 and he 43? Still a wild gap.. I don’t think it was morally right for any adult to be with a 14 year old….
Maybe the most telling statement is "she left her parents because they always told her No, and now she's living in a place where she gets hit with never."
I would say that Priscilla still isn't completely free from Elvis' grasp, especially when she still looks out for his image and feels like she left too much out of her story to protect him. It really shows how much grooming affects people.
He clearly still has his effects on her. She stated he forced himself on her, raping her, but then later said she was too harsh with her words. When she herself said he FORCED himself on her AND he was never that sexually interested in her.
Bedding a teen girl because you are terrified of being judged by a real woman against the men that came before you screams crippling insecurity. And then after bedding said teen, you force her to look as much like your mother as possible? Well that's just sick.
That just screams mother complex: posessiveness and putting ones Mother on pedestal. Side note that he stopped having sex with her after she gave birth to their daughter
They did not get together until after marriage They were friends companions first foremost Really something how people don't even know the whole true story but get kicks bashing him Blame her parents and the Colonel Parker for orchestrating the pairing Many badmouth Elvis including Priscilla's son He has nothing to do with anything If she loved Elvis She would not be happy with her son Bashing Elvis Very sad many people used him He wasn't perfect but he bought houses cars many did appreciate him on the flip side good thing all types of stuff because it was in his heart How he was raised never forgot his roots How many people would do that just because ?You'd be lucky to get a slice of pizza or a happy meal forget a house or car He was surrounded by yes people isolated from regular life It was refreshing for him to have some genuine realness He thought he found it with Priscilla at least for a while
My father knew Elvis. My aunt went to high school with Pricilla when she first came to Memphis. My father used to play football with Elvis at Graceland. My aunt and father told me stories from first hand experiences with them both. I stand by what I wrote. @@franniea

People really dont realize that elvis new his relationship with priscilla was inappropriate because he actively hid his relationship until she is old enough.
Jerry Lee was having SEX with a 13year old! Priscilla has said that there was NO KIND of sex between her and Elvis until she moved to 'Graceland (when she was 18) when they would pet but didnt have intercourse until they married.
The beginning half of the movie was uncomfortable watching them be romantic when she is a literal child. It was a good movie though, showing her point of view and how bad that relationship was.

To me the general is a weirdo for inviting a teenage girl to a grown man’s house. It’s giving trafficker vibes. Edit: I'm not saying Elvis is not a creep, all the adults in Priscilla's life failed her. I guess the standard was weird back then...
@@himenyx153 Read Child by Suzanne Finstad and you will change your mind. Priscilla was already a sexually active teen and she slept with a married dude in order to meet Elvis. Her parents encouraged the whole thing.
@@elvis78ale It's tragic. Decades after the Elvis fans who know the truth are dead, these movies will be viewed. This evil woman is succeeding in making it all about her and making Elvis into the predator and abuser when in fact it was SHE.
@@saphireblue3563 I don't think those young persons would have never been fans. But in these last days I've read many positive comments about Elvis from new fans. Priscilla will never be relevant. Think that Baz' movie has been seen by many more people.
So interesting to think about this as Elvis being a villain. Whenever my parents spoke about the Elvis/Priscilla relationship (the stars from their generation), they would frame it as if Priscilla had horrible parents and home life and he married her as a way to “save her” from that and that it only got physical later. They spoke about the 50s and 60s as a time where it was common for people in high school to get married, and that it was also a common way for girls to find a way to leave a bad home life. They spoke about it being so openly known, and yet I don’t see that theory represented in the comments. So I wonder how common that story was. Also, I wonder when the concept of young groupies following bands started becoming more normalized too.
Whether this film is a heap of lies from Priscilla or not, I will not be watching it. It is important to consider the fact that Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was a con man of the highest order - he spun everything that Elvis did in every way that worked to their (his) benefit. So, he relied heavily on the fact that plenty of girls got married right out of high school = Elvis and Priscilla are suddenly relatable, and yet, because of celebrity status they are also unique and their situation is set apart/"necessary for their love." Basically, Parker spun horse manure into gold. And it saved Elvis' mythos, butt, and future. If he'd been outed for the grooming pe*oph*lic behavior that he engaged in (e.g. having pillow fight parties with 12 and 13 year olds brought up to the mansion, getting a 14 year old pregnant while on tour and dumping her at a paid off doctor's with money for an abortion in the middle of the night before he went into the Army, and of course, everything he said and did publically and privately to manipulate and control Priscilla previous to their marriage), his career would have ended as it begun. To this very day, the Presley estate is still weaving tall tales to continue the mythos of this beloved abusive monster. Just one of those tales is the myth (accompanied by his Bible on display at his Tupelo homeplace, Elvis singing old gospel songs on stage, the HBO documentary "The Searcher," etc.) that Elvis followed the teachings of the Christian faith. He absolutely did NOT. He was a M*son*c, Ros*cr*cian Theosophical Satanist who followed the teachings of Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and many other Lucif*rian teachers. His entire life was an esoteric exercise of "Do what thou wilt" = Aleister Crowley's ultimate summation of the Satanic Law, given to him by Satan himself (also known to Aleister as his "Holy Guardian Angel," and "AIWAZ/AIWASS"). Elvis was obsessed with "The Voice" (the Luciferian magazine he kept a subscription to), and he named his vocal back-up group in homage after it. He had his stage outfits modeled after drawings and paintings of the New Age Lucif*rian Ascended Masters, and adorned with ancient esoteric/L*ciferian/Satanic symbols. He and the Mafia members had a celebratory picture taken together after their initiation into the Ros*cr*cian secret order. They are all wearing their roses and pins, plain as day (they must have assumed the general public wouldn't know or recognize what was right in front of their eyes). He claimed he was God to his Memphis Mafia, and even manipulated the weather in front of them. He was always trying to read their minds, and more than once tried to influence them to k*ll others for him. As a parting gift to Priscilla, she claims that he forced himself on her (he r*ped her) when she told him she was leaving him for another - most people don't bring that up when they reference her book, "Elvis and Me," the book this film is based on. And lastly, according to Ginger Alden, his girlfriend who found his body, Elvis died reading an esoteric/Satanic book on sex magic. While the author was a modern one, sex magic was the bedrock of Aleister Crowley's spiritual practices and worship of Satan. At this point, I just have to stand back and say, "What a way to go." He DEFINITELY did things "his way" while singing "My Way." He did not honor Jesus Christ at all. But that's this world's normal. What Satanic artist out there nowadays doesn't have their own gospel and Christmas album? "Ya gotta make the people happy." "Give 'em what they want," so we'll shut up and accept anything and everything from the artists we're captivated and hypnotized by. Apparently, a random Southern gospel album will do. "Awwww, he's in touch with his roots, isn't that sweet?!" Meanwhile, Priscilla the Scientologist (Scientology's creator, L. Ron Hubbard, was a Satanist who claimed he was Lucifer incarnate after Crowley died, btw), Riley, her niece, and the rest of them are counting on the deception (and your hard-earned money) - that that worn out mythos will still work its charm, and his mask/legend won't slip and fall away. My question to the world is: How many people does it still work on? P.S. The above was written by an ex-Elvis fan of 36 years. Danced as a toddler to his voice, listened to every song, watched every film, visited Graceland, sat on his bed in the Lisa Marie, owned rooms full of memorabilia, every album he recorded, endless books and photography stills, wore his scarves around my neck, was written about in the local newspaper, and was even given a piece of his bathroom carpet as a gift (he renovated his bathroom shortly before he died in it, and the carpet was cleaned and divided into sections for each Official Elvis Fan Club Chapter). Put it all into trash bags and took it to the dump. No regrets. I feel a beautiful freedom and peace. 👍👍
@@LE-gs9mo do you mind sharing some of the resources, where you got all this information? Genuine curiosity. Thank you for sharing your story by the way.
The movie was great. Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi did a great job as Priscilla and Elvis. Also, the costume design was done really well, especially for Priscilla since that was such an important detail for the film. They did a great job with showing how Elvis was slowly changing her into what he wanted her to be and then ending with Priscilla happily wearing the colors/patterns that Elvis hated (and also getting rid of the black hair color that Elvis chose).
but they should of simply NOT made the movie. We've come to the sense that it was Wrong , and disgusting , but yet they continue to try to justify or rectify , or romanticize it.

You can't really fail if you have like 30 minutes of screen time I want to see Jacob Elordi in more leading roles he is still pretty young but he isn't an up and coming actor anymore.
The movie was so boring. Me and my gfs were so excited to see it and they spent the whole movie with Priscilla sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. They skipped over so much and they didn’t even have them get married 8n Vegas which is completely inaccurate
Don't forget that Nic Cage is Sofia Coppola's cousin as well as Lisa Marie's ex-husband and an Elvis fan. I wonder what the conversations were like between the cousins.
This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen! Thank you for not talking about it like “the movie that exposes Elvis” like a lot people. We already knew all of this stuff, now we get to see it in a different way.
Nicolas Cage was married to Priscilla and Elvis daughter also, so there is that. Which means the directors brother was married directly into the family for a while.
It wasn't until just before the 20th century where the majority of the world changed its outlook on these relationships & Priscilla continuously admits that nothing about the toxicity had to do with anything sexual.
Can't you see this movie's bent? Priscilla was not a midget and Elvis was not a giant.. She was made to look much younger than she really looked in real life. She was 21 when she married Elvis..
@@drartemisa21 I know but I mean the movie chose a giant to play Elvis and a girl of only 5'1" to play Priscilla, apparently to make it look like Priscilla was this helpless little thing, and made her look much younger than she was when she came to live with him at 18, and when she left him at 27. In reality Elvis was not even a foot taller than Priscilla. The director was trying to make him look like he completely bullied and dominated her.
@@saphireblue3563Narratively it makes sense that they would have such a size difference because it’s a visual representation of the power imbalance in their relationship. It doesn’t matter how old she was when she married him, the fact that he was interacting so closely with her and obviously romantically interested in her as a child…she was groomed. As an adult, legally she had the right to make her “own choice” and marry him but she was clearly coerced from a young age and psychological manipulation is a wild thing. Especially when there are multiple power imbalances including his financial control, his notoriety, his coercion, and the age difference. Not to mention that society at the time would have judged her more than him and she would’ve probably been seen as a bimbo had she not married him.
Military families (still) drop off their daughters to the front doors of military balls, and they instruct them to find a husband. Still happens - at least in Annapolis
I don't know what parent in their right mind would let their young daughter date an older man let alone move in with him as a teenager and before they were married! You didn't "shack up" before marriage back then! If they weren't sleeping together I don't see why he needed to live with her before he married her! The behavior is just disgusting! Yet so many people overlook all of the awful things because they like his music. Even Priscilla seems like she actually justifies it or looks at him with rose tinted glasses still. She can write what happened to her but I'm not sure she ever really processed everything that happened. It's insane. At least she finally left him.
Perfect point. It makes no sense to have her flown from goodness knows where to live with him, share his bed and not have sex. I’m not buying her story.

In this era today if Elvis was still alive he would of been in jail for messing with an 14yr old, but it was a lot different then in the 50s then. They didnt care bout the age difference.@LE-gs9mo
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being typecasted if you’re receiving serious roles. Jacob is like 6ft5, there’s not many roles he can take besides “large, intimidating man” or “action star who shoots things.” He’s way too big to not utilise his size
@@panashe5268only if he doesn't have a problem with it. Sometimes people get tired of seeing an actor "in the same role" or the actor themselves gets bored and frustrated. But obviously there's actors out there who are fine with whatever. And the height thing seems silly to say. Just because he is tall doesn't mean he can only play those roles: Chris Hemsworth and Jon Krasinski are first two that come to mind.
@@psychedelicyeti6053 I think he has potential to branch out with his roles if he can act other characters. I mean Christian Bale has kinda similar look and he managed to play so many characters. To be honest Chris Hemsmorth is the one who is geting typecast but idk if its cause he cant play other characters or he just prefers not go outside the box
I have to admit this is really getting to me. I literally just ordered the book on Amazon, because I do want to know what happened. Yes 24 and 14 is not okay, it's wrong. I'll be honest I love the Elvis movie and I do consider myself an Elvis fan, I love his voice and his style. In my head I admit I had made up this fantasy world and wore rose colored glasses when it comes to Elvis Presley and Priscilla. The more I think about the fact that he as a 24 year old "dated" a 14 year old girl and that he according to the film and the book (which I haven't read or seen yet) abused her, the more I just feel so uncomfortable. It's like this house of glass is shattering, the more I find out about reality, it really messes with your perception of things, insane.
Well ..most of all this is bullshit made up of a 2 faced Priscilla so.. Elvis was just a guy, both good and bad, did more good than bad but at the end of the day, he was human too
Priscilla wasn’t allowed to interact with the wives of the guys bc they were all cheating and Priscilla knew it . They were afraid she’d slip up and tell the wives
I really appreciate that Coppola is making an entire film about rich folks pedophilia and how we just eat it up. Just… no big deal. He sings and dances, so it’s cool.
Have you seen the mini series Elvis and Me? It’s came out 3 years after Pricilla’ s book came out. I believe it’s more closely follows the book. It’s free on RUclips 😊

i haven't read a single groomer comment tbh. it's mostly the opposite, and that's a good thing. the times really were different last century, and the further back you go, the more common it was for young teens to be married off to adult men.
It is already difficult to get people to acknowledge the predatory behavior of celebrities they admire. Mentioning she affairs would muddy the message. People want a perfect victim but they don’t exist. Great video, as always.
you’re in every comment defending grooming it’s very strange that you’re trying to convince YOURSELF that it’s normal that that relationship happened. but only you know why you’re so defensive about the TRUTH
When they were kissing it was so gross bc the age difference I couldn’t shake it. I love both actors tho they both killed it. They’re my new crushes but this project was hard to stomach. I was gasping when she took that pill and passed out for 2 days. The audacity of Elvis to not call the doctor!! 💀 jfc
Elvis had issues, that’s true. So would anyone in his shoes. But Priscilla’s stories and accounts are so skewed and most of it is straight up lies. If you listen to the REAL accounts of all the people that knew Elvis, it’s evident that she’s just an attention-hungry, hateful person with a victim mentality. Her own family contradicts what she says. Many people close to Elvis said he didn’t want to marry Priscilla, so why did he? He was forced to by colonel Tom Parker, the man who owned him. The colonel was the real groomer/narcissist/puppeteer. Everyone in Elvis’ close circle said that he was the most compassionate, kind, generous, talented, funny person you’ll ever meet, but he had anger management issues due to the trauma he had as a child/young man and continued to experience through his association with the colonel and his other handlers. The brightest lights have the darkest shadows. Yes, ALOT of famous people are total assholes, I know, but Elvis wasn’t one of them. He was the victim of a tragic story, not Priscilla, but unfortunately he’s not here to defend himself, thanks to the colonel, who was the cause of his death. And a long, painful death it was.
Presley had said that Elvis told her what to wear and what makeup to put on. He sounds like an abusive man, actually. He had a temper that many witnessed. I'm pretty certain she was at least emotionally and verbally abused.
Age gap or not, Elvis sought her out because he himself said that she was easier to mould into his ideal woman, and made her life revolve around him and what he wanted. It was a toxic relationship from the start, and because Elvis was so big and influential no one sought to stop them.
priscilla has had how many of these movies about ''her side'' now? There's been a few. He was engaged when he died. And had a few intense relationships with women. Too bad she never made any identity outside of a man who has been dead longer than most been alive now.
I am excited to see Priscilla for Cailee Spaeny, I have been keeping an eye on her talent since Bad Times At The El Royale. I remember seeing her in that underrated movie and thinking, "this girl is good, she's going to be big in the future" yet here she is right now with a Venice Film Festival's Volpi Cup Best Actress trophy in her hand for starring in a Sofia Coppola movie. Glad that she's finally getting her due 🤗
@@hamilcross Me neither! But yeah, I was so impressed with how perfect she was able to portray how excited and nervous a 14-year-old girl would feel in her shoes. Perfect casting for sure!
If Sofia is so brave and about telling the truth, why doesn’t she make a movie about Victor Salva and her father Francis Ford Coppola protecting him from being held accountable for his crimes and using his money and influence to silence Salva’s victims.
Around this time, my grandmother did get married at age 16 to escape her abusive father. I think that was unfortunately outrageously common during this time. My grandma had a teen pregnancy at 17, but she was married to her husband, who was, I’m sure a couple years older than her. I don’t know the exact age gap. Obviously in our culture this is not appropriate but back during this time, I think that this was more acceptable.
this WAS what happened though. it doesn't matter if it was "the norm" it doesn't matter that the parents were bad parents and pressed on it. Elvis took the action to marry someone he had groomed since she was 14. that's what happened. he might have been a king of pop or something, he may have been a nice guy. He can still be an icon for his profession. But... He was a groomer and had lots of young girls. i am glad this perspective is being told!!! it's important 🌺
She had not been groomed. Elvis left her in Germarny when she was 14, didnt see her again until she was 16, then didn;'t see her again until she was almost 18. In those gaps she dated many other guys going steady with at least one. She had a normal teenage, no matter what anyone says.
“And now I get why there was some theories out there” *cuts to Elvis sticking/sucking the microphone, quickly* “lord have mercy” 😂😂 omg that was sooo funny. I know what to dive deep into this theory 😂😂
I love how everybody wants to turn a blind eye to Elvis's indiscretions. Same people who were probably yelling even louder When other artists have been in less obvious circumstances. And now they're trying to say that Elvis never had x with priscilla until oh she was closer to legal age...gthoh
Elvis isn’t the only person to blame for their relationship to go any further than just a hello. Elvis never would’ve met her if it wasn’t for his manager forcing him to do his time in the Army. His dad and friends in the army with him could’ve said think about your career back home don’t ruin it. Priscilla wouldn’t have accepted “no” when her parents told her she couldn’t go out. And her parents could’ve stepped in and told Elvis you’re not seeing our daughter who’s just in high school. They didn’t do anything to prevent it from happening.
I somehow call BS, there's no way, you can go two days without having to use the bathroom. Also they must have thought she was in a coma or something and would have had to consider getting medical help, in case she died or ended up with permanent damages. I don't believe they would have risked it.
I listened to Priscilla's book and she admits they did have sex. She did a lot of things with him that involved sex, so I don't know why she is lying about it in interviews. Also in the book, she makes it sound like Elvis is a predator.
I mean he still a predator don’t get it twisted. 24 year old should not be talking to a 14 year old girl. She was drugged at underage years. Shit he predator. Drugging her at all is weird. You are very weird for saying “she makes it sound like Elvis is a predator.” HE IS A PREDATOR!!
She did no such thing.. Why would you tell a lie like that? She did NOT say they had sex. She said they didn't even pet until she moved in with him at 18.
@@aundreaz3934 No, SHE was a financial predator. She knew that Elvis would never marry a woman who wanted to go into show business so she married him at 21 and kept her show business aspirations from him. She stayed with him JUST LONG ENOUGH to get the best divorce settlement, left him, got her money, and got herself a movie agent.
Honestly I thought this was very interesting to come out right around his their daughter's death. Not too long after it and last year. A movie for him came out. Unlike okay, I guess you know. It seems like an interesting story.
my sister watched this movie on the weekend and took her mother in law who loved elvis.. she said after they saw the movie her mother in law got all of elvis stuff she had and put it in a box!!
@@saphireblue3563 That is based on opinion. You are free to make your decision about who and what you support, and what falls by the wayside. No one is perfect. It's up to you what crosses the line. You prove the point that everyone makes regarding why people refuse to admit that these celebs are human, flawed like the rest of us. If it means nothing to you that he is indeed an abuser of women, that's fact by the way according to his wife and the way he felt he could present in the world by openly being with other women, then that's fine. Keep buying his music, we aren't trying to eliminate his musical legacy. We also aren't trying to make you think the way we think. YOU do YOU. Just don't lie about the facts on him and his life, he's not having you over for dinner anytime soon to thank you for the loyalty. The only thing that conversations like this are supposed to do is bring light to reality and that this is not at all a "love story." This isn't the storybook standard and the first person to highlight that was his own wife, someone he did have over for dinner, even co-parented a whole kid with. This isn't a race to be the biggest fan. It's being a caring human being to people that made the very human choice to walk away as someone that may have been dealt something similar in their lives that this DOES affect. They are making the best choice for them.
@@MummyBrown Priscilla recently said he was NEVER violent or abusive. Yes of course he was flawed, we all are. That does not mean the accusations against him are true, or that the ones that are true were even wrong. And what are you saying I lied about??? She did not just make the choice to walk away. When she married Elvis, she KNEW that he did not want a wife who wanted to go into show business. She hid her show business aspirations from him, and stayed with him just long enough to get the best divorce settlement. left him, got her money and got herself a movie agent. That is why she is always trying to justify herself by making accusations, taking them back making more accusations(through movies) taking them back, ,etc. She knows that Elvis fans are on to her, and she is trying very hard to make it look like SHE was the victim. She has always been about getting fame and money for HERSELF. She was no innocent, and she is far from being innocent now.
@@saphireblue3563 her choice to specifically state that he wasn’t abusive but still clearly displayed abuse is called a trauma response. The things even highlighted in these clips ARE ABUSE, sister. I can’t give you empathy, that’s something we must all work on. Fighting the point that he was flawed and was abusive is a you problem.
The amount of people defending this relationship is horrifying. 1. It's a different time: Yeah they might be lenient but only if you have the money and power. You could still end up in jail. 2. They weren't having sex till she's 18: How would you know that? They could have doing the horizontal tango as soon as they met. 3. They are soulmates: No, stop living in dreamland. .......... You can love the art even if the artist is a horrible person, but just don't take one good thing and apply to the whole.
My friend is really into Elvis and told me how this movie wasn’t fully accurate. No idea if that is true but I did see this movie and come out not really liking him
Here's my research: Whether this film is a heap of lies from Priscilla or not, I will not be watching it. It is important to consider the fact that Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was a con man of the highest order - he spun everything that Elvis did in every way that worked to their (his) benefit. So, he relied heavily on the fact that plenty of girls got married right out of high school = Elvis and Priscilla are suddenly relatable, and yet, because of celebrity status they are also unique and their situation is set apart/"necessary for their love." Basically, Parker spun horse manure into gold. And it saved Elvis' mythos, butt, and future. If he'd been outed for the grooming pe*oph*lic behavior that he engaged in (e.g. having pillow fight parties with 12 and 13 year olds brought up to the mansion, getting a 14 year old pregnant while on tour and dumping her at a paid off doctor's with money for an abortion in the middle of the night before he went into the Army, and of course, everything he allegedly said and did publically and privately to manipulate and control Priscilla previous to their marriage), his career would have ended as it begun. To this very day, the Presley estate is still weaving tall tales to continue the mythos of this beloved abusive monster. Just one of those tales is the myth (accompanied by his Bible on display at his Tupelo homeplace, Elvis singing old gospel songs on stage, the HBO documentary "The Searcher," etc.) that Elvis followed the teachings of the Christian faith. He absolutely did NOT. He was a M*son*c, Ros*cr*cian Theosophical Satanist who followed the teachings of Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and many other Lucif*rian teachers. His entire life was an esoteric exercise of "Do what thou wilt" = Aleister Crowley's ultimate summation of the Satanic Law, given to him by Satan himself (also known to Aleister as his "Holy Guardian Angel," and "AIWAZ/AIWASS"). Elvis was obsessed with "The Voice" (the Luciferian magazine he kept a subscription to), and he named his vocal back-up group in homage after it. He had his stage outfits modeled after drawings and paintings of the New Age Lucif*rian Ascended Masters, and adorned with ancient esoteric/L*ciferian/Satanic symbols. He and the Mafia members had a celebratory picture taken together after their initiation into the Ros*cr*cian secret order. They are all wearing their roses and pins, plain as day (they must have assumed the general public wouldn't know or recognize what was right in front of their eyes). He claimed he was God to his Memphis Mafia, and even manipulated the weather in front of them. He was always trying to read their minds, and more than once tried to influence them to k*ll others for him. As a parting gift to Priscilla, she claims that he forced himself on her (he r*ped her) when she told him she was leaving him for another - most people don't bring that up when they reference her book, "Elvis and Me," the book this film is based on. And lastly, according to Ginger Alden, his girlfriend who found his body, Elvis died reading an esoteric/Satanic book on sex magic. While the author was a modern one, sex magic was the bedrock of Aleister Crowley's spiritual practices and worship of Satan. At this point, I just have to stand back and say, "What a way to go." He DEFINITELY did things "his way" while singing "My Way." He did not honor Jesus Christ at all. But that's this world's normal. What Satanic artist out there nowadays doesn't have their own gospel and Christmas album? "Ya gotta make the people happy." "Give 'em what they want," so we'll shut up and accept anything and everything from the artists we're captivated and hypnotized by. Apparently, a random Southern gospel album will do. "Awwww, he's in touch with his roots, isn't that sweet?!" Meanwhile, Priscilla the Scientologist (Scientology's creator, L. Ron Hubbard, was a Satanist who claimed he was Lucifer incarnate after Crowley died, btw), Riley, her niece, and the rest of them are counting on the deception (and your hard-earned money) - that that worn out mythos will still work its charm, and his mask/legend won't slip and fall away. My question to the world is: How many people does it still work on? P.S. The above was written by an ex-Elvis fan of 36 years. Danced as a toddler to his voice, listened to every song, watched every film, visited Graceland, sat on his bed in the Lisa Marie, owned rooms full of memorabilia, every album he recorded, endless books and photography stills, wore his scarves around my neck, was written about in the local newspaper, and was even given a piece of his bathroom carpet as a gift (he renovated his bathroom shortly before he died in it, and the carpet was cleaned and divided into sections for each Official Elvis Fan Club Chapter). Put it all into trash bags and took it to the dump. No regrets. I feel a beautiful freedom and peace. 👍👍
Elvis is the most celebrated groomer of all time. Unfortunately every cho mo at some time or other always points to him as a way to justify their own actions Elvis was wrong for doing this no excuse is acceptable
Elvis was sent to Germany because he was wiggling too much? I didn't know that. I also don't understand why in 1958 they were still sending Americans to Germany. Or why nowadays you never hear of American male celebrities having to do their miitary service.
Ngl watching this as an adult who been sexual abused as a child and groomed makes me feel so srry for priscilla and what she went through. I know a lot ppl think thay she had it all. But she literally was a child when she was preyed on and molded into a child bride.
💯 And the guy who introduced them said once that Elvis did have sex w Priscilla at 14. It's completely plausible and makes sense why she had to marry him. Even Priscilla said that she kept some things out of the book bc she was worried about ruining his reputation too much.
Priscilla is close to lying or completely lying about the thunderbolt and TCB. The thunderbolt was inspired by Elvis's boyhood fascination with Captain Marvel who had the logo on his chest. Elvis was influenced by Captain Marvel many years before he met Priscilla. At best, Priscilla probably told him where to place the thunderbolt, but her story about the lightning just ain't so.
@@kathyturney4243 Elvis himself said Captain Marvel was one of his boyhood heroes. If you watched his recent movie, Elvis has that same thunderbolt around his neck as a child. If you read the Book "Elvis and Gladys", you would know better.
@@protochrisThere again, you were not there ; and I feel sure that Priscilla knows more about Elvis than you do, seeing as she was married to Elvis. You are just a wannabe know I all Elvis fan , looking from the outside in; Priscilla lived with Elvis for many years , and she knew hm on a personal level, you , on the other hand , did not have close ties to the man.
@@kathyturney4243You apparently havent seen his movie. I've provided facts, and you only have feelings. The Captain Marvel jr symbol is the exact symbol used in the TCB logo. I didn't have close ties to Elvis, but his cousin Billy Smith was closer to him, and he says the symbol came from CM Jr. Here's a little sample you need to know aboutruclips.net/user/shortsCC05Cwe2M2E ruclips.net/video/j61j9AnvCEw/видео.html
I am familiar with the story you are recounting. As well as the book I used to own, "Elvis and Gladys." However, the original Captain Marvel that Elvis referenced is now known to the world as "Shazam," a young man who is initiated into the possession of magical powers and authority, after a Wizard who has been watching and reviewing him decides that he is a perfect adept. Basically, witchcraft. Wizard, warlock, shaman, whatever. Same difference. He offers him the power and gifting of multiple Greek gods, as well as the secret knowledge/wisdom of Solomon (Israel's King that famously turned away from worshiping the God of the Bible, who gave him the gift of such wisdom, it astonished the whole world. He proudly and selfishly followed after and sacrificed to the gods and goddesses his many wives and concubines worshipped; it didn't end well for Solomon, as he amassed a great amount of demonic and Satanic knowledge before he died by manipulating his gifting for evil). All that to say that Elvis' favorite is apropos. The symbolic use of a lightning bolt as the source of Captain Marvel/Shazam's power hasn't changed its meaning to this day. Whether it's the spiritual symbol of the gods Thor (sometimes known as the Phoenician Bel or Baal, the Egyptian Osiris and Kneph), Set, Zeus, and Jupiter/the Gestapo SS officers from WW2 who wore the lightning bolts on their uniforms meant to strike terror in the hearts of those who saw them (they were designed after ancient Bavarian runic inscriptions found in an excavation by one of the most feared and hated men in Na*i Germany, Heinrich Himmler)/Freddie Mercury wearing his Flash Gordon thunderbolt t-shirt while singing about "Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me" and "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" (during the filming of an earlier performance in his career, Freddie also claimed that Satan himself had given him the beautiful gloves he was wearing)/KISS ("Knights in Satan's Service") using it for the last 2 letters of their band's name/Lil Nas X referencing it on his Satan shoes, with Luke 10:18 "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven," and on and on - "Taking care of business" may have been an African-American slogan Elvis adopted for himself, but the addition of that thunderbolt adds a whole new layer of meaning. I believe the truth rests between his story and Priscilla's. It's intentionally covered over with lies and half truths. Whether this film is a heap of lies from Priscilla or not, I will not be watching it. It is important to consider the fact that Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was a con man of the highest order - he spun everything that Elvis did in every way that worked to their (his) benefit.

Nah EP was real fucked up in the mind. Idk when exactly but Elvis grew a “taste” you could say, for younger women. I almost feel sorry for him because of how he finally came to his senses it was too late, so he just killed himself
idk how true it is but there are a bunch of interviews of older women who said when they were teens elvis would come to their town and date them as like 13-``14yos they all said he was super respectful and kind and even defend him but girl if you believe it, he def had a type -
This one, I was torn between thinking every obsessive tween fangirl should watch it, so they would realize exactly how boring and unfulfilling achieving their dream of getting with their famous crush would be, and thinking they shouldn't, because they shouldn't think men with weird purity kinks who won't molest them are common.
my mom was 10 years older than my dad… my brother-in-law is 12 years older than my sister…. My husband was almost 10 years older than me….10 yrs is not a big age gap!! the laws are just different now…. when it comes to being under 18…..
@@juonithzramos1089 For sure it doesn't make it less creepy, but at that part it almost seemed like the creator was suggesting he was gay for waiting until she was an adult
Amazing how the media or movie doesn't show Priscilla dating other soldiers & others in Germany when she was 14.... If she wanted to be on her own, than why has she lived off Elvis for over 50 ears !!!
What about the parents??? They let her go to see Elvis in Germany, and sent her to the states.. seems like they were her groomers.. He was rich , and famous,and they saw an opportunity.. There would be no way in hell I would let my 14 yr old daughter date a 24 yr old man,I wouldn’t care how rich an famous her was.. IMO, I think she was a spoiled army brat, that her parents let her do just about anything she wanted to do.. So blame the parents!!!
Priscilla never cooked. She did not know how to cook. Elvis said he had a woman that would cook for him daily for him and his family. Don't know her name.
Well then you are and they are morons- lemmings that believe everything you hear. The film was A VERY, VERY, AGONIZINGLY SLOOOOW TRAIN-WRECK of LIES and INACCURACIES. Priscilla covers for her parents AND HER OWN CRIMES, and only points the finger at Elvis, one of the KINDEST and most GENEROUS human beings that EVER LIVED. No one who has followed Priscilla's relentless uncorroborated gold digger drama, including her daughter (who tragically recently passed) is buying her account here or in her 1985 book. Historians, Truth seekers and Elvis fans in the know aren't fighting. Some of us have followed her for many many years. I read her book when it came out in 1985. We just know the truth, and are happy to share it. Why are SOME so eager to believe Priscilla and draw a dead man's legacy through the mud? Some just love a metoo narrative. Those people don't even BOTHER to do an integrity check on the one accusing Elvis, they just take her word for it and follow blindly along like a Lemming without doing a shred of research?? How smart is that? Her CREDIBILITY and LACK OF EVIDENCE is the problem. Feel free to believe who you want, but at least do some basic research first: CREDIBILITY FAIL #1: Priscilla stole from Lisa Marie's trust fund by paying herself $900,000, out of Lisa Marie's trust fund WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT!! Total financial damage: $16 million. CREDIBILITY FAIL #2: It's believed now that Marco Garibaldi/Garcia EMBEZZLED $15 MILION from Lisa Marie's trust fund. Co-trustees Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu and Barry Siegel pressured Lisa Marie to sell 85% of her EPE-shares because it would be financially advantageous for them as trustees of Lisa Marie's trust fund. Never mind Lisa Marie's financial interests! CREDIBILITY FAIL #3: After taxes Lisa Marie had $45 MILLION left from the sale of her EPE-shares. That money was squandered by Barry Siegel; he invested it in his own company, that went broke. He never paid Lisa Marie back. CREDIBILITY FAIL #4: Priscilla's parents encouraged her relationship with Elvis because they were starstruck and wanted status and money. When Elvis was back in the States they discouraged Priscilla from dating with boys in Germany. Her mother, Ann Iversen, pushed Priscilla to write love letters to Elvis, who occasionally called Priscilla and was back with girlfriend Anita Wood. It was Priscilla, ordered by Ann, who begged Elvis to invite her to the US and it was her parents who forced Priscilla to move to Graceland although she wanted to stay in Germany with her then-boyfriend. CREDIBILITY FAIL #5: After the divorce, Priscilla and Lisa Marie lived in a house that exposed not a single photo of Elvis Presley, the man, Priscilla claims, is the love of her life. Elvis certainly didn't believe her. In her book Elvis and Me, Priscilla seems to depict herself as the innocent victim of a bad man, Elvis Presley, but in reality, it is the other way around. It was Elvis Presley, who was manipulated and exploited by Priscilla and her parents. You don't publish negative books/films/interviews about the "love of your life". CREDIBILITY FAIL #6: When Elvis had died, Priscilla was overheard telling her half-sister Michelle, giggling, that everybody thought she was crying behind her sunglasses but in reality, she was laughing. Priscilla thought she would inherit from Elvis but she did not. Elvis removed Priscilla from his will in February 1977 and left everything to HIS DAUGHTER Lisa Marie. CREDIBILITY FAIL #7: Priscilla tried to challenge the will BACK THEN but to no avail. ONLY AFTER Elvis' death, did Priscilla IMMEDIATELY resume the use of the profitable surname PRESLEY to promote herself. ** Elvis forbade her in the divorce agreement to use his name but Priscilla has no respect for Elvis' wishes. ** CREDIBILITY FAIL #8: JUST FOUR DAYS after the funeral of Lisa Marie Priscilla challenged Lisa Marie's will from 2016 that removed her as trustee and placed Riley and deceased Benjamin in her seat. Now Riley has agreed that she will pay Priscilla $1.4 MILLION,-- and a guaranteed yearly allowance, during 10 years, to stop her from challenging Lisa Marie's will. Priscilla is also paid subtrustee over 1/9 of the Presley-estate that halfbrother Navarone Garbaldi gets. In a will, that Lisa Marie drew up in 1993, when she was 25, she left, in case of death, 1/9 of her estate to Navarone whom she then adored but when Lisa Marie died she had broken off all contact with Navarone, who publicly scolded her and wished her dead. CREDIBILITY FAIL #9: After all her uncorroborated accusatory nonsense that Elvis was a creepy child molestor --- she DEMANDS TO BE BURIED RIGHT NEXT TO HIS COFFIN SIDE BY SIDE FOR ETERNITY IN HIS BACKYARD.. moving Elvis' beloved mother and fathers resting places!!!! .. 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. THE SAD REALITY THAT SOFIA JUST GETS WRONG IN THIS TOTAL FABRICATION FILM: Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu is only interested in being famous and rich. She has exploited Elvis, Lisa Marie and now Riley, Finley and Harper. Priscilla is a narcissist who uses people and then discards them. EPE should boycott Priscilla's strategic fantasy of lies. HOW in God's name or otherwise, can anyone else BELIEVE PRISCILLA, or worse support her? She is attacking Elvis' name and USING HIS LAST NAME (illegally I might add) with NO EVIDENCE. and NO EYEWITNESSES. Come on.
I will not watch this film, but if I'd been present when you said that, you would have had a dry chuckle from me. And, a long sigh.

If he'd been outed for the grooming pe*oph*lic behavior that he engaged in (e.g. having pillow fight parties with 12 and 13 year olds brought up to the mansion, getting a 14 year old pregnant while on tour and dumping her at a paid off doctor's with money for an abortion in the middle of the night before he went into the Army, and of course, everything he said and did publically and privately to manipulate and control Priscilla previous to their marriage), his career would have ended as it begun. To this very day, the Presley estate is still weaving tall tales to continue the mythos of this beloved abusive monster. Just one of those tales is the myth (accompanied by his Bible on display at his Tupelo homeplace, Elvis singing old gospel songs on stage, the HBO documentary "The Searcher," etc.) that Elvis followed the teachings of the Christian faith. He absolutely did NOT. He was a M*son*c, Ros*cr*cian Theosophical Satanist who followed the teachings of Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and many other Lucif*rian teachers. His entire life was an esoteric exercise of "Do what thou wilt" = Aleister Crowley's ultimate summation of the Satanic Law, given to him by Satan himself (also known to Aleister as his "Holy Guardian Angel," and "AIWAZ/AIWASS"). Elvis was obsessed with "The Voice" (the Luciferian magazine he kept a subscription to), and he named his vocal back-up group in homage after it. He had his stage outfits modeled after drawings and paintings of the New Age Lucif*rian Ascended Masters, and adorned with ancient esoteric/L*ciferian/Satanic symbols. He and the Mafia members had a celebratory picture taken together after their initiation into the Ros*cr*cian secret order. They are all wearing their roses and pins, plain as day (they must have assumed the general public wouldn't know or recognize what was right in front of their eyes). He claimed he was God to his Memphis Mafia, and even manipulated the weather in front of them. He was always trying to read their minds, and more than once tried to influence them to k*ll others for him. As a parting gift to Priscilla, she claims that he forced himself on her (he r*ped her) when she told him she was leaving him for another - most people don't bring that up when they reference her book, "Elvis and Me," the book this film is based on. And lastly, according to Ginger Alden, his girlfriend who found his body, Elvis died reading an esoteric/Satanic book on sex magic. While the author was a modern one, sex magic was the bedrock of Aleister Crowley's spiritual practices and worship of Satan. At this point, I just have to stand back and say, "What a way to go." He DEFINITELY did things "his way" while singing "My Way." He did not honor Jesus Christ at all. But that's this world's normal. What Satanic artist out there nowadays doesn't have their own gospel and Christmas album? "Ya gotta make the people happy." "Give 'em what they want," so we'll shut up and accept anything and everything from the artists we're captivated and hypnotized by. Apparently, a random Southern gospel album will do. "Awwww, he's in touch with his roots, isn't that sweet?!" Meanwhile, Priscilla the Scientologist (Scientology's creator, L. Ron Hubbard, was a Satanist who claimed he was Lucifer incarnate after Crowley died, btw), Riley, her niece, and the rest of them are counting on the deception (and your hard-earned money) - that that worn out mythos will still work its charm, and his mask/legend won't slip and fall away. My question to the world is: How many people does it still work on? P.S. The above was written by an ex-Elvis fan of 36 years. Danced as a toddler to his voice, listened to every song, watched every film, visited Graceland, sat on his bed in the Lisa Marie, owned rooms full of memorabilia, every album he recorded, endless books and photography stills, wore his scarves around my neck, was written about in the local newspaper, and was even given a piece of his bathroom carpet as a gift (he renovated his bathroom shortly before he died in it, and the carpet was cleaned and divided into sections for each Official Elvis Fan Club Chapter). Put it all into trash bags and took it to the dump. No regrets. I feel a beautiful freedom and peace. 👍👍
If you see a movie based on Child bride you will know who is the real asshole. I would also love to see a movie based on Michael Edwards book, especially when a drugged out Priscilla beats the hell out of Lisa Marie in the street after prissy snorted a line of cocaine and the neighbors called the police.
I recently watched a RUclips video where some of Elvis's exes speak out.They were 14 year old girls back then, one even said 14 was the magic number for elvis.He was younger than 24 with some of them, but still a legal adult and worshipped celebrity.He would have them get naked while he stripped down to his underwear, but that was the line.They would make out for hours, and never have sex.He was insecure about his sexual performance, so he liked virgins.He was also well aware of the legal ramifications.True to form, the now much older adult women looked back fondly on this time in their lives.One even said that back then they pedophiles weren't a thing, and it was a very different time.
There was nothing in that video that said he would have them get naked or that he stripped down to his underwear! Why would you tell a lie like that???
@@saphireblue3563 girl your all over the comments defending this man. He's a creep who took advantage of young girls. Why are you so hard up for him????
Even if they didn't have sex at 14 15 16 17 until 18 19 20, it's still extremely suspicious. I know he was a godly man and he did reach out to spiritual teachers I have a hard time believing he worked on his ego structure to be harmless at that time
Elvis had the same upbringing as Michael Jackson would... many years later. He also lived in an ultra protective cloud where saying no to him was never an option. He was a 'forever child' and that brings with it some severe mental deviations from the norm. But the 'Priscilla' movie is an extremely poor 'one-side' account of what actually happened. Priscilla was/is no wallflower. She knew exactly what she wanted and used manipulation to achieve it. She saw a man-child and made herself indispensable to him. She manipulated her family to be allowed to visit him. She wanted the huge house, money and servants to attend to her every whim. There're many women who have had terrible experiences in their life... Priscilla is just not one of them.
@@Dauerglotzer123 All of these falls down when Priscilla herself forced the relationship and even had sex with a dude in order of meeting Elvis. Her parents encouraged the whole thing. Not surprising though since Priscilla's mother meet her bio dad when she was 15.

If anything was illustrative that Priscilla was groomed by Elvis - it's that all these years later - with him dead, and her in control of a film about her life - the film still begins when she met Elvis, and ends when she leaves him. In the context of the film, there is no Priscilla without Elvis, and I found that to be quite sad.
That's very sad Indeed, I hope she gets to recover one day

@@mrheisenberg5780Mf, you keep repeating the same bs. Tf is your point or reason for commenting this
YOU MADE THE MISTAKE OF BELIEVING PRISCILLA's nonsense without researching. Elvis WAS NOT WITH PRISCILLA when she was 14. There WAS NO RELATIONSHIP OF ANY KIND. Elvis was in love with Anita Wood when she was 14. PRISCILLA was the predator. Elvis and Lisa Marie were the victims. There is NO EYEWITNESS OR EVIDSENCE TO ANY OF PRISCILLA'S accusations. ZERO.
Elvis KNEW that Priscilla was a DISHONEST GOLD DIGGER. And so did many people around Elvis. This is a ONE SIDED film OF LIES, COVERING UP HER LIES. Elvis WAS RIGHT:
CREDIBILITY FAIL #1: Priscilla stole from Lisa Marie's trust fund by paying herself $900,000, out of Lisa Marie's trust fund WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT!! Total financial damage: $16 million.
CREDIBILITY FAIL #2: It's believed now that Marco Garibaldi/Garcia EMBEZZLED $15 MILION from Lisa Marie's trust fund. Co-trustees Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu and Barry Siegel pressured Lisa Marie to sell 85% of her EPE-shares because it would be financially advantageous for them as trustees of Lisa Marie's trust fund. Never mind Lisa Marie's financial interests!
CREDIBILITY FAIL #3: After taxes Lisa Marie had $45 MILLION left from the sale of her EPE-shares. That money was squandered by Barry Siegel; he invested it in his own company, that went broke. He never paid Lisa Marie back.
CREDIBILITY FAIL #4: After all her uncorroborated accusatory nonsense that Elvis was a creepy child molestor --- she DEMANDS --- IN COURT OF LAW --- TO BE BURIED RIGHT NEXT TO HIS COFFIN SIDE BY SIDE FOR ETERNITY IN HIS BACKYARD.. moving Elvis' beloved mother and fathers resting places!!!! ....... 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.

honestly i think coppola having both actors with a drastic height difference is such a subtle detail that subconsciously screams how young she looks/is compared to him and it just really gives emphasis to how she was just a little girl when all of this had happened
I noticed that too on how this movie really focused on how young much younger she was than him the movie. Priscilla looks like a child. She looked ridiculous when she started dressing up. She looked like a child in adult clothes. Unfortunately I couldn't stop thinking Amy Winehouse 😄
No it tries to make her look like he bullied her, and tries to make it look like she was small and helpless compared to him. It also tries to make it look like she was much younger than she was in real life. In other words it tries to smear Elvis.
@@jujubees711 Yes but it was not that way in real life. They are just trashing Elvis.
@@saphireblue3563 good!
@@jengapuppy And why should Elvis be trashed?
I found it funny that Lisa Marie at first slammed Sofia Coppola's script for making Elvis look bad in this movie when the movie was told entirely from how Priscilla views Elvis as an ex husband. Just because he was a good father to Lisa Marie doesn't mean that he was a good husband to Priscilla. Two people have a different perspective on the same person 🤷
Yes, I think it's unfair that Lisa Marie completely ignores Priscilla's perspective even for a movie.
also elvis died when lisa marie was pretty young
Lisa Marie made it clear that she felt that way because she didn't want them to paint her father in a bad light, which is something that most people understandably don't want or don't want to face even if it's true. But the main reason Lisa Marie was opposed to this movie being made was just because of the negative attention it would draw to her family, and she didn't want to put her kids through the negative press that would come from it. She always wanted her children to have normal lives, and not have to live in the shadow of their grandfather's legacy. Something that arguably they've already been through, and I'm sure didn't help the situation her son was in when she lost him to suicide. Besides Riley, she has two other daughters who are barely teenagers now, and she didn't want them to have to deal with the backlash of a movie that drew everyone's eyes to the worst aspects of their grandfather's character. Her first priority was always to protect her children, and whether you agree or disagree with the merits of this film, I hope we can all agree that her reasoning was valid. There's no reason to pit mother against daughter here. Just let them live, and Lisa rest in peace.
@@PlanR Well people can watch Elvis from Baz Luhrmann if she wants people to see Elvis in the lightest way as possible eventhough that movie also focuses on Elvis' addiction to drugs, cheating and alcohol all that stuff but atleast it still champions what his career was like. But still, whenever someone makes something good like Elvis, there's always going to be a darker side of the person involved.
True... As a daughter of a father who I can grade 4 as a father but 2 as my mum's husband, I can attest😂

don't believe everything you see or read.. Priscilla says one thing for cash flow but actually it's the other way around.. she's two-faced
Also the fact that her own future husband ENROLLED HER IN HIGH SCHOOL is INSANE and should be enough for people to stop justifying how "normal" this was "back in the day." Sofia Coppola did a great job of highlighting how, even back then, people were constantly commenting and aware of how young she was- to poke a needle in that balloon of "reasoning."
Thank you! There are too many people here defending him!

You can look it up!
It’s genuinely terrifying how many people excuse what he did because he was famous.
OMG if you know nothing you should not post. When Priscilla came to live at Graceland, she had only a few weeks of high school left, so little in fact, that she only went half days. When she graduated, Elvis bought her a car, so she was never stuck and left in the house alone, as the movie tries to present.

Maybe the most telling statement is "she left her parents because they always told her No, and now she's living in a place where she gets hit with never."
I would say that Priscilla still isn't completely free from Elvis' grasp, especially when she still looks out for his image and feels like she left too much out of her story to protect him. It really shows how much grooming affects people.
He clearly still has his effects on her. She stated he forced himself on her, raping her, but then later said she was too harsh with her words.
When she herself said he FORCED himself on her AND he was never that sexually interested in her.
It's contractual the family is stuck they are Elvis the corporation owns the name and family
Free from him? No the poor thing still has to use his name to make the millions of dollars she wants. Poor, poor Priscilla.
She never said she left anything out to protect him.
To be fair she still has a vested interest in Graceland so her defending him is twofold, the grooming and his brand which she profits from.
Bedding a teen girl because you are terrified of being judged by a real woman against the men that came before you screams crippling insecurity. And then after bedding said teen, you force her to look as much like your mother as possible? Well that's just sick.
That just screams mother complex: posessiveness and putting ones Mother on pedestal. Side note that he stopped having sex with her after she gave birth to their daughter

So interesting to think about this as Elvis being a villain. Whenever my parents spoke about the Elvis/Priscilla relationship (the stars from their generation), they would frame it as if Priscilla had horrible parents and home life and he married her as a way to “save her” from that and that it only got physical later. They spoke about the 50s and 60s as a time where it was common for people in high school to get married, and that it was also a common way for girls to find a way to leave a bad home life. They spoke about it being so openly known, and yet I don’t see that theory represented in the comments.
So I wonder how common that story was. Also, I wonder when the concept of young groupies following bands started becoming more normalized too.
Yeah but those women escaped their bad home life only to end up in something similar or worse. That still used to happen also 20 years ago.
Whether this film is a heap of lies from Priscilla or not, I will not be watching it. It is important to consider the fact that Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was a con man of the highest order - he spun everything that Elvis did in every way that worked to their (his) benefit. So, he relied heavily on the fact that plenty of girls got married right out of high school = Elvis and Priscilla are suddenly relatable, and yet, because of celebrity status they are also unique and their situation is set apart/"necessary for their love." Basically, Parker spun horse manure into gold. And it saved Elvis' mythos, butt, and future. If he'd been outed for the grooming pe*oph*lic behavior that he engaged in (e.g. having pillow fight parties with 12 and 13 year olds brought up to the mansion, getting a 14 year old pregnant while on tour and dumping her at a paid off doctor's with money for an abortion in the middle of the night before he went into the Army, and of course, everything he said and did publically and privately to manipulate and control Priscilla previous to their marriage), his career would have ended as it begun. To this very day, the Presley estate is still weaving tall tales to continue the mythos of this beloved abusive monster.
Just one of those tales is the myth (accompanied by his Bible on display at his Tupelo homeplace, Elvis singing old gospel songs on stage, the HBO documentary "The Searcher," etc.) that Elvis followed the teachings of the Christian faith. He absolutely did NOT. He was a M*son*c, Ros*cr*cian Theosophical Satanist who followed the teachings of Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and many other Lucif*rian teachers. His entire life was an esoteric exercise of "Do what thou wilt" = Aleister Crowley's ultimate summation of the Satanic Law, given to him by Satan himself (also known to Aleister as his "Holy Guardian Angel," and "AIWAZ/AIWASS"). Elvis was obsessed with "The Voice" (the Luciferian magazine he kept a subscription to), and he named his vocal back-up group in homage after it. He had his stage outfits modeled after drawings and paintings of the New Age Lucif*rian Ascended Masters, and adorned with ancient esoteric/L*ciferian/Satanic symbols. He and the Mafia members had a celebratory picture taken together after their initiation into the Ros*cr*cian secret order. They are all wearing their roses and pins, plain as day (they must have assumed the general public wouldn't know or recognize what was right in front of their eyes). He claimed he was God to his Memphis Mafia, and even manipulated the weather in front of them. He was always trying to read their minds, and more than once tried to influence them to k*ll others for him. As a parting gift to Priscilla, she claims that he forced himself on her (he r*ped her) when she told him she was leaving him for another - most people don't bring that up when they reference her book, "Elvis and Me," the book this film is based on. And lastly, according to Ginger Alden, his girlfriend who found his body, Elvis died reading an esoteric/Satanic book on sex magic. While the author was a modern one, sex magic was the bedrock of Aleister Crowley's spiritual practices and worship of Satan.
At this point, I just have to stand back and say, "What a way to go." He DEFINITELY did things "his way" while singing "My Way." He did not honor Jesus Christ at all. But that's this world's normal. What Satanic artist out there nowadays doesn't have their own gospel and Christmas album? "Ya gotta make the people happy." "Give 'em what they want," so we'll shut up and accept anything and everything from the artists we're captivated and hypnotized by. Apparently, a random Southern gospel album will do. "Awwww, he's in touch with his roots, isn't that sweet?!" Meanwhile, Priscilla the Scientologist (Scientology's creator, L. Ron Hubbard, was a Satanist who claimed he was Lucifer incarnate after Crowley died, btw), Riley, her niece, and the rest of them are counting on the deception (and your hard-earned money) - that that worn out mythos will still work its charm, and his mask/legend won't slip and fall away. My question to the world is: How many people does it still work on?
P.S. The above was written by an ex-Elvis fan of 36 years. Danced as a toddler to his voice, listened to every song, watched every film, visited Graceland, sat on his bed in the Lisa Marie, owned rooms full of memorabilia, every album he recorded, endless books and photography stills, wore his scarves around my neck, was written about in the local newspaper, and was even given a piece of his bathroom carpet as a gift (he renovated his bathroom shortly before he died in it, and the carpet was cleaned and divided into sections for each Official Elvis Fan Club Chapter). Put it all into trash bags and took it to the dump. No regrets. I feel a beautiful freedom and peace. 👍👍
I know. My mom and grandma both got married at 17.
@@LE-gs9mo do you mind sharing some of the resources, where you got all this information? Genuine curiosity. Thank you for sharing your story by the way.
The movie was great. Cailee Spaeny and Jacob Elordi did a great job as Priscilla and Elvis.
Also, the costume design was done really well, especially for Priscilla since that was such an important detail for the film.
They did a great job with showing how Elvis was slowly changing her into what he wanted her to be and then ending with Priscilla happily wearing the colors/patterns that Elvis hated (and also getting rid of the black hair color that Elvis chose).
but they should of simply NOT made the movie. We've come to the sense that it was Wrong , and disgusting , but yet they continue to try to justify or rectify , or romanticize it. Elvis was a fucking pedo, and not even they artist they claim he was. He copy pasted his style, mannerisms , dances and songs from African Americans. He is a fraud that simply got over. and should just be remembered as such
You can't really fail if you have like 30 minutes of screen time I want to see Jacob Elordi in more leading roles he is still pretty young but he isn't an up and coming actor anymore.
@@Nonamenoface538Saltburn comes out next week.
@@Nonamenoface538yes I’m glad this movie focused more on Priscilla, which was important.
The movie was so boring. Me and my gfs were so excited to see it and they spent the whole movie with Priscilla sitting around waiting for the phone to ring. They skipped over so much and they didn’t even have them get married 8n Vegas which is completely inaccurate
Don't forget that Nic Cage is Sofia Coppola's cousin as well as Lisa Marie's ex-husband and an Elvis fan. I wonder what the conversations were like between the cousins.
And Nicholas cage is a weirdo , lol just like Elvis 🤨👍
This is one of the best reviews I’ve seen! Thank you for not talking about it like “the movie that exposes Elvis” like a lot people. We already knew all of this stuff, now we get to see it in a different way.
It's a shame it was so bad, bc it could have been sooo good
I hope he doesnt continue to get type casted as a unstable partner
Salt burn is different :)
Hope he's a good guy in reality 😊
Nicolas Cage was married to Priscilla and Elvis daughter also, so there is that. Which means the directors brother was married directly into the family for a while.
Woah I'm pretty sure he only married Lisa Marie not Priscilla 😅
Nicholas Cage is Sofia Coppola's cousin not brother
@@WhatExcellentBoiledPo-ta-toeshe said Pricilla and elvis’ daughter , not Pricilla herself
I forgot about that connection!
Nicholas was married to Priscilla and Lisa Marie !? Weird and strange , nr cage is weird any Way ODD 🥴
Jerry Lee Lewis also married an underage girl, except she was also his COUSIN
Elvis did not marry a teenage girl. Priscilla was 21.
"More toxic then when he was in Euphoria" 😹😹sir wtf
I think they're both equally toxic because both of them seem to like those "innocent" girly types of girls...
I can't get over how Y O U N G she was..and on lighter note how hard it really is for Jacob Elordi to imitate Elvis' accent,I meeeeeeeaaann
It wasn't until just before the 20th century where the majority of the world changed its outlook on these relationships & Priscilla continuously admits that nothing about the toxicity had to do with anything sexual.
Can't you see this movie's bent? Priscilla was not a midget and Elvis was not a giant.. She was made to look much younger than she really looked in real life. She was 21 when she married Elvis..
@@saphireblue3563just because she looked older doesnt mean she's not her actual age which was young
@@drartemisa21 I know but I mean the movie chose a giant to play Elvis and a girl of only 5'1" to play Priscilla, apparently to make it look like Priscilla was this helpless little thing, and made her look much younger than she was when she came to live with him at 18, and when she left him at 27. In reality Elvis was not even a foot taller than Priscilla. The director was trying to make him look like he completely bullied and dominated her.
@@saphireblue3563Narratively it makes sense that they would have such a size difference because it’s a visual representation of the power imbalance in their relationship. It doesn’t matter how old she was when she married him, the fact that he was interacting so closely with her and obviously romantically interested in her as a child…she was groomed. As an adult, legally she had the right to make her “own choice” and marry him but she was clearly coerced from a young age and psychological manipulation is a wild thing. Especially when there are multiple power imbalances including his financial control, his notoriety, his coercion, and the age difference. Not to mention that society at the time would have judged her more than him and she would’ve probably been seen as a bimbo had she not married him.
Military families (still) drop off their daughters to the front doors of military balls, and they instruct them to find a husband. Still happens - at least in Annapolis
I don't know what parent in their right mind would let their young daughter date an older man let alone move in with him as a teenager and before they were married! You didn't "shack up" before marriage back then! If they weren't sleeping together I don't see why he needed to live with her before he married her! The behavior is just disgusting! Yet so many people overlook all of the awful things because they like his music. Even Priscilla seems like she actually justifies it or looks at him with rose tinted glasses still. She can write what happened to her but I'm not sure she ever really processed everything that happened. It's insane. At least she finally left him.
Perfect point. It makes no sense to have her flown from goodness knows where to live with him, share his bed and not have sex. I’m not buying her story.
Money and fame is the reason
I completely agree. Whether this film is a heap of lies from Priscilla or not, I will not be watching it. It is important to consider the fact that Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was a con man of the highest order - he spun everything that Elvis did in every way that worked to their (his) benefit. So, he relied heavily on the fact that plenty of girls got married right out of high school = Elvis and Priscilla are suddenly relatable, and yet, because of celebrity status they are also unique and their situation is set apart/"necessary for their love." Basically, Parker spun horse manure into gold. And it saved Elvis' mythos, butt, and future. If he'd been outed for the grooming pe*oph*lic behavior that he engaged in (e.g. having pillow fight parties with 12 and 13 year olds brought up to the mansion, getting a 14 year old pregnant while on tour and dumping her at a paid off doctor's with money for an abortion in the middle of the night before he went into the Army, and of course, everything he allegedly said and did publically and privately to manipulate and control Priscilla previous to their marriage), his career would have ended as it begun. To this very day, the Presley estate is still weaving tall tales to continue the mythos of this beloved abusive monster.
Just one of those tales is the myth (accompanied by his Bible on display at his Tupelo homeplace, Elvis singing old gospel songs on stage, the HBO documentary "The Searcher," etc.) that Elvis followed the teachings of the Christian faith. He absolutely did NOT. He was a M*son*c, Ros*cr*cian Theosophical Satanist who followed the teachings of Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and many other Lucif*rian teachers. His entire life was an esoteric exercise of "Do what thou wilt" = Aleister Crowley's ultimate summation of the Satanic Law, given to him by Satan himself (also known to Aleister as his "Holy Guardian Angel," and "AIWAZ/AIWASS"). Elvis was obsessed with "The Voice" (the Luciferian magazine he kept a subscription to), and he named his vocal back-up group in homage after it. He had his stage outfits modeled after drawings and paintings of the New Age Lucif*rian Ascended Masters, and adorned with ancient esoteric/L*ciferian/Satanic symbols. He and the Mafia members had a celebratory picture taken together after their initiation into the Ros*cr*cian secret order. They are all wearing their roses and pins, plain as day (they must have assumed the general public wouldn't know or recognize what was right in front of their eyes). He claimed he was God to his Memphis Mafia, and even manipulated the weather in front of them. He was always trying to read their minds, and more than once tried to influence them to k*ll others for him. As a parting gift to Priscilla, she claims that he forced himself on her (he r*ped her) when she told him she was leaving him for another - most people don't bring that up when they reference her book, "Elvis and Me," the book this film is based on. And lastly, according to Ginger Alden, his girlfriend who found his body, Elvis died reading an esoteric/Satanic book on sex magic. While the author was a modern one, sex magic was the bedrock of Aleister Crowley's spiritual practices and worship of Satan.
At this point, I just have to stand back and say, "What a way to go." He DEFINITELY did things "his way" while singing "My Way." He did not honor Jesus Christ at all. But that's this world's normal. What Satanic artist out there nowadays doesn't have their own gospel and Christmas album? "Ya gotta make the people happy." "Give 'em what they want," so we'll shut up and accept anything and everything from the artists we're captivated and hypnotized by. Apparently, a random Southern gospel album will do. "Awwww, he's in touch with his roots, isn't that sweet?!" Meanwhile, Priscilla the Scientologist (Scientology's creator, L. Ron Hubbard, was a Satanist who claimed he was Lucifer incarnate after Crowley died, btw), Riley, her niece, and the rest of them are counting on the deception (and your hard-earned money) - that that worn out mythos will still work its charm, and his mask/legend won't slip and fall away. My question to the world is: How many people does it still work on?

This actor might be in danger of being typecast 😅 hopefully I'm wrong. He seems pretty talented
I think he slowly makes himself respected actor by choosing more serious work in niche movies
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being typecasted if you’re receiving serious roles. Jacob is like 6ft5, there’s not many roles he can take besides “large, intimidating man” or “action star who shoots things.” He’s way too big to not utilise his size
@@panashe5268only if he doesn't have a problem with it. Sometimes people get tired of seeing an actor "in the same role" or the actor themselves gets bored and frustrated. But obviously there's actors out there who are fine with whatever.
And the height thing seems silly to say. Just because he is tall doesn't mean he can only play those roles: Chris Hemsworth and Jon Krasinski are first two that come to mind.
@@psychedelicyeti6053 I think he has potential to branch out with his roles if he can act other characters. I mean Christian Bale has kinda similar look and he managed to play so many characters.

@@mooma0912is he Christian Bale talented though?
I have to admit this is really getting to me. I literally just ordered the book on Amazon, because I do want to know what happened. Yes 24 and 14 is not okay, it's wrong. I'll be honest I love the Elvis movie and I do consider myself an Elvis fan, I love his voice and his style. In my head I admit I had made up this fantasy world and wore rose colored glasses when it comes to Elvis Presley and Priscilla. The more I think about the fact that he as a 24 year old "dated" a 14 year old girl and that he according to the film and the book (which I haven't read or seen yet) abused her, the more I just feel so uncomfortable. It's like this house of glass is shattering, the more I find out about reality, it really messes with your perception of things, insane.
Well ..most of all this is bullshit made up of a 2 faced Priscilla so.. Elvis was just a guy, both good and bad, did more good than bad but at the end of the day, he was human too
Priscilla wasn’t allowed to interact with the wives of the guys bc they were all cheating and Priscilla knew it . They were afraid she’d slip up and tell the wives
Priscilla was a serial cheater herself. Eloped with a married dude whose wife was expecting a baby.
I really appreciate that Coppola is making an entire film about rich folks pedophilia and how we just eat it up. Just… no big deal. He sings and dances, so it’s cool.
Are you illiterate too? You don't know what pedophilia is? It is not dating a 14 year old.

It doesn't matter if the toxicity wasn't sexual in nature( it was probably part of it), but it involves a stranger moulding an impressionable child to their desire and ends. It's still grooming!
i haven't read a single groomer comment tbh. it's mostly the opposite, and that's a good thing. the times really were different last century, and the further back you go, the more common it was for young teens to be married off to adult men.

you’re in every comment defending grooming it’s very strange that you’re trying to convince YOURSELF that it’s normal that that relationship happened. but only you know why you’re so defensive about the TRUTH
When they were kissing it was so gross bc the age difference I couldn’t shake it. I love both actors tho they both killed it. They’re my new crushes but this project was hard to stomach. I was gasping when she took that pill and passed out for 2 days. The audacity of Elvis to not call the doctor!! 💀 jfc
Elvis had issues, that’s true. So would anyone in his shoes. But Priscilla’s stories and accounts are so skewed and most of it is straight up lies. If you listen to the REAL accounts of all the people that knew Elvis, it’s evident that she’s just an attention-hungry, hateful person with a victim mentality. Her own family contradicts what she says. Many people close to Elvis said he didn’t want to marry Priscilla, so why did he? He was forced to by colonel Tom Parker, the man who owned him. The colonel was the real groomer/narcissist/puppeteer. Everyone in Elvis’ close circle said that he was the most compassionate, kind, generous, talented, funny person you’ll ever meet, but he had anger management issues due to the trauma he had as a child/young man and continued to experience through his association with the colonel and his other handlers. The brightest lights have the darkest shadows. Yes, ALOT of famous people are total assholes, I know, but Elvis wasn’t one of them. He was the victim of a tragic story, not Priscilla, but unfortunately he’s not here to defend himself, thanks to the colonel, who was the cause of his death. And a long, painful death it was.
Presley had said that Elvis told her what to wear and what makeup to put on. He sounds like an abusive man, actually. He had a temper that many witnessed. I'm pretty certain she was at least emotionally and verbally abused.
Age gap or not, Elvis sought her out because he himself said that she was easier to mould into his ideal woman, and made her life revolve around him and what he wanted. It was a toxic relationship from the start, and because Elvis was so big and influential no one sought to stop them.
priscilla has had how many of these movies about ''her side'' now? There's been a few. He was engaged when he died. And had a few intense relationships with women. Too bad she never made any identity outside of a man who has been dead longer than most been alive now.
She wants the world to know the truth about Elvis. He was a monster.
@SaritaRockabilly No. But Priscilla did.
I am excited to see Priscilla for Cailee Spaeny, I have been keeping an eye on her talent since Bad Times At The El Royale. I remember seeing her in that underrated movie and thinking, "this girl is good, she's going to be big in the future" yet here she is right now with a Venice Film Festival's Volpi Cup Best Actress trophy in her hand for starring in a Sofia Coppola movie. Glad that she's finally getting her due 🤗
Love that movie!!
she’s incredible in priscilla!
I haven't seen her in anything else but she was phenomenal in priscilla. she can emote so damn well without saying a thing.
@@hamilcross Me neither! But yeah, I was so impressed with how perfect she was able to portray how excited and nervous a 14-year-old girl would feel in her shoes. Perfect casting for sure!
I love that the movie is awkward since Elvis should have never been allowed to date priscilla and let alone marry her.
Yes and Priscilla would have ended up flipping hamburgers for a living.
If Sofia is so brave and about telling the truth, why doesn’t she make a movie about Victor Salva and her father Francis Ford Coppola protecting him from being held accountable for his crimes and using his money and influence to silence Salva’s victims.
She's a nepo baby who is always going to protect Daddy.
WORD!!!
@@sarahrobertson634what's Nepo?
Around this time, my grandmother did get married at age 16 to escape her abusive father. I think that was unfortunately outrageously common during this time. My grandma had a teen pregnancy at 17, but she was married to her husband, who was, I’m sure a couple years older than her. I don’t know the exact age gap. Obviously in our culture this is not appropriate but back during this time, I think that this was more acceptable.
Agreed. They were bopping to music about sweet 16 and their friend’s younger sister
It's never been acceptable, but at times it was more accepted. Unfortunately.
this WAS what happened though. it doesn't matter if it was "the norm" it doesn't matter that the parents were bad parents and pressed on it. Elvis took the action to marry someone he had groomed since she was 14. that's what happened. he might have been a king of pop or something, he may have been a nice guy. He can still be an icon for his profession. But... He was a groomer and had lots of young girls. i am glad this perspective is being told!!! it's important 🌺
She had not been groomed. Elvis left her in Germarny when she was 14, didnt see her again until she was 16, then didn;'t see her again until she was almost 18. In those gaps she dated many other guys going steady with at least one. She had a normal teenage, no matter what anyone says.

Elvis isn’t the only person to blame for their relationship to go any further than just a hello. Elvis never would’ve met her if it wasn’t for his manager forcing him to do his time in the Army.

Also they must have thought she was in a coma or something and would have had to consider getting medical help, in case she died or ended up with permanent damages. I don't believe they would have risked it.
I listened to Priscilla's book and she admits they did have sex. She did a lot of things with him that involved sex, so I don't know why she is lying about it in interviews. Also in the book, she makes it sound like Elvis is a predator.

You prove the point that everyone makes regarding why people refuse to admit that these celebs are human, flawed like the rest of us.
If it means nothing to you that he is indeed an abuser of women, that's fact by the way according to his wife and the way he felt he could present in the world by openly being with other women, then that's fine. Keep buying his music, we aren't trying to eliminate his musical legacy. We also aren't trying to make you think the way we think. YOU do YOU. Just don't lie about the facts on him and his life, he's not having you over for dinner anytime soon to thank you for the loyalty. The only thing that conversations like this are supposed to do is bring light to reality and that this is not at all a "love story." This isn't the storybook standard and the first person to highlight that was his own wife, someone he did have over for dinner, even co-parented a whole kid with.
This isn't a race to be the biggest fan. It's being a caring human being to people that made the very human choice to walk away as someone that may have been dealt something similar in their lives that this DOES affect. They are making the best choice for them.
@@MummyBrown Priscilla recently said he was NEVER violent or abusive. Yes of course he was flawed, we all are. That does not mean the accusations against him are true, or that the ones that are true were even wrong. And what are you saying I lied about??? She did not just make the choice to walk away. When she married Elvis, she KNEW that he did not want a wife who wanted to go into show business. She hid her show business aspirations from him, and stayed with him just long enough to get the best divorce settlement. left him, got her money and got herself a movie agent. That is why she is always trying to justify herself by making accusations, taking them back making more accusations(through movies) taking them back, ,etc. She knows that Elvis fans are on to her, and she is trying very hard to make it look like SHE was the victim. She has always been about getting fame and money for HERSELF. She was no innocent, and she is far from being innocent now.
@@saphireblue3563 her choice to specifically state that he wasn’t abusive but still clearly displayed abuse is called a trauma response. The things even highlighted in these clips ARE ABUSE, sister.

The amount of people defending this relationship is horrifying.
1. It's a different time: Yeah they might be lenient but only if you have the money and power. You could still end up in jail.

If he'd been outed for the grooming pe*oph*lic behavior that he engaged in (e.g. having pillow fight parties with 12 and 13 year olds brought up to the mansion, getting a 14 year old pregnant while on tour and dumping her at a paid off doctor's with money for an abortion in the middle of the night before he went into the Army, and of course, everything he allegedly said and did publically and privately to manipulate and control Priscilla previous to their marriage), his career would have ended as it begun. To this very day, the Presley estate is still weaving tall tales to continue the mythos of this beloved abusive monster.
Just one of those tales is the myth (accompanied by his Bible on display at his Tupelo homeplace, Elvis singing old gospel songs on stage, the HBO documentary "The Searcher," etc.) that Elvis followed the teachings of the Christian faith. He absolutely did NOT. He was a M*son*c, Ros*cr*cian Theosophical Satanist who followed the teachings of Alice Bailey, Madame Blavatsky, Aleister Crowley, and many other Lucif*rian teachers. His entire life was an esoteric exercise of "Do what thou wilt" = Aleister Crowley's ultimate summation of the Satanic Law, given to him by Satan himself (also known to Aleister as his "Holy Guardian Angel," and "AIWAZ/AIWASS"). Elvis was obsessed with "The Voice" (the Luciferian magazine he kept a subscription to), and he named his vocal back-up group in homage after it. He had his stage outfits modeled after drawings and paintings of the New Age Lucif*rian Ascended Masters, and adorned with ancient esoteric/L*ciferian/Satanic symbols. He and the Mafia members had a celebratory picture taken together after their initiation into the Ros*cr*cian secret order. They are all wearing their roses and pins, plain as day (they must have assumed the general public wouldn't know or recognize what was right in front of their eyes). He claimed he was God to his Memphis Mafia, and even manipulated the weather in front of them. He was always trying to read their minds, and more than once tried to influence them to k*ll others for him. As a parting gift to Priscilla, she claims that he forced himself on her (he r*ped her) when she told him she was leaving him for another - most people don't bring that up when they reference her book, "Elvis and Me," the book this film is based on. And lastly, according to Ginger Alden, his girlfriend who found his body, Elvis died reading an esoteric/Satanic book on sex magic. While the author was a modern one, sex magic was the bedrock of Aleister Crowley's spiritual practices and worship of Satan.
At this point, I just have to stand back and say, "What a way to go." He DEFINITELY did things "his way" while singing "My Way." He did not honor Jesus Christ at all. But that's this world's normal. What Satanic artist out there nowadays doesn't have their own gospel and Christmas album? "Ya gotta make the people happy." "Give 'em what they want," so we'll shut up and accept anything and everything from the artists we're captivated and hypnotized by. Apparently, a random Southern gospel album will do. "Awwww, he's in touch with his roots, isn't that sweet?!" Meanwhile, Priscilla the Scientologist (Scientology's creator, L. Ron Hubbard, was a Satanist who claimed he was Lucifer incarnate after Crowley died, btw), Riley, her niece, and the rest of them are counting on the deception (and your hard-earned money) - that that worn out mythos will still work its charm, and his mask/legend won't slip and fall away. My question to the world is: How many people does it still work on?

Elvis is the most celebrated groomer of all time. Unfortunately every cho mo at some time or other always points to him as a way to justify their own actions
Elvis was wrong for doing this no excuse is acceptable
Elvis was sent to Germany because he was wiggling too much? I didn't know that. I also don't understand why in 1958 they were still sending Americans to Germany. Or why nowadays you never hear of American male celebrities having to do their miitary service.
Ngl watching this as an adult who been sexual abused as a child and groomed makes me feel so srry for priscilla and what she went through. I know a lot ppl think thay she had it all. But she literally was a child when she was preyed on and molded into a child bride.
Your wordplay is delightful! Subscribed
The subtle jokes that you threw in there😂
Listen, not believing for a second there was no sexual contact until she was legal. But if it is true its because he was having multiple affairs
💯 And the guy who introduced them said once that Elvis did have sex w Priscilla at 14. It's completely plausible and makes sense why she had to marry him. Even Priscilla said that she kept some things out of the book bc she was worried about ruining his reputation too much.
@@Pillowlips77 His reputation or hers?? She wants to be portrait as virgin Mary and she was already a sexual active teen at 14.
Priscilla is close to lying or completely lying about the thunderbolt and TCB. The thunderbolt was inspired by Elvis's boyhood fascination with Captain Marvel who had the logo on his chest. Elvis was influenced by Captain Marvel many years before he met Priscilla. At best, Priscilla probably told him where to place the thunderbolt, but her story about the lightning just ain't so.
protochris, who says her story isn’t true ? You ??? How would you know, after all, I doubt seriously that you were there !
@@kathyturney4243 Elvis himself said Captain Marvel was one of his boyhood heroes. If you watched his recent movie, Elvis has that same thunderbolt around his neck as a child. If you read the Book "Elvis and Gladys", you would know better.
@@protochrisThere again, you were not there ; and I feel sure that Priscilla knows more about Elvis than you do, seeing as she was married to Elvis. You are just a wannabe know I all Elvis fan , looking from the outside in; Priscilla lived with Elvis for many years , and she knew hm on a personal level, you , on the other hand , did not have close ties to the man.
@@kathyturney4243You apparently havent seen his movie. I've provided facts, and you only have feelings. The Captain Marvel jr symbol is the exact symbol used in the TCB logo. I didn't have close ties to Elvis, but his cousin Billy Smith was closer to him, and he says the symbol came from CM Jr. Here's a little sample you need to know aboutruclips.net/user/shortsCC05Cwe2M2E
ruclips.net/video/j61j9AnvCEw/видео.html
I am familiar with the story you are recounting. As well as the book I used to own, "Elvis and Gladys." However, the original Captain Marvel that Elvis referenced is now known to the world as "Shazam," a young man who is initiated into the possession of magical powers and authority, after a Wizard who has been watching and reviewing him decides that he is a perfect adept. Basically, witchcraft. Wizard, warlock, shaman, whatever. Same difference. He offers him the power and gifting of multiple Greek gods, as well as the secret knowledge/wisdom of Solomon (Israel's King that famously turned away from worshiping the God of the Bible, who gave him the gift of such wisdom, it astonished the whole world. He proudly and selfishly followed after and sacrificed to the gods and goddesses his many wives and concubines worshipped; it didn't end well for Solomon, as he amassed a great amount of demonic and Satanic knowledge before he died by manipulating his gifting for evil). All that to say that Elvis' favorite is apropos. The symbolic use of a lightning bolt as the source of Captain Marvel/Shazam's power hasn't changed its meaning to this day. Whether it's the spiritual symbol of the gods Thor (sometimes known as the Phoenician Bel or Baal, the Egyptian Osiris and Kneph), Set, Zeus, and Jupiter/the Gestapo SS officers from WW2 who wore the lightning bolts on their uniforms meant to strike terror in the hearts of those who saw them (they were designed after ancient Bavarian runic inscriptions found in an excavation by one of the most feared and hated men in Na*i Germany, Heinrich Himmler)/Freddie Mercury wearing his Flash Gordon thunderbolt t-shirt while singing about "Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me" and "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me" (during the filming of an earlier performance in his career, Freddie also claimed that Satan himself had given him the beautiful gloves he was wearing)/KISS ("Knights in Satan's Service") using it for the last 2 letters of their band's name/Lil Nas X referencing it on his Satan shoes, with Luke 10:18 "I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven," and on and on - "Taking care of business" may have been an African-American slogan Elvis adopted for himself, but the addition of that thunderbolt adds a whole new layer of meaning. I believe the truth rests between his story and Priscilla's. It's intentionally covered over with lies and half truths.
Whether this film is a heap of lies from Priscilla or not, I will not be watching it. It is important to consider the fact that Elvis' manager, Colonel Tom Parker, was a con man of the highest order - he spun everything that Elvis did in every way that worked to their (his) benefit. So, he relied heavily on the fact that plenty of girls got married right out of high school = Elvis and Priscilla are suddenly relatable, and yet, because of celebrity status they are also unique and their situation is set apart/"necessary for their love." Basically, Parker spun horse manure into gold. And it saved Elvis' mythos, butt, and future.

4:21 it was probably all the Aqua Net 😂
Nah EP was real fucked up in the mind. Idk when exactly but Elvis grew a “taste” you could say, for younger women. I almost feel sorry for him because of how he finally came to his senses it was too late, so he just killed himself
Why you got that mcdonalds noise playing in the background
Lisa didn't like it, so that bothered me.
You are absolutely wild I love it.
idk how true it is but there are a bunch of interviews of older women who said when they were teens elvis would come to their town and date them as like 13-``14yos
they all said he was super respectful and kind and even defend him but girl if you believe it, he def had a type -
This one, I was torn between thinking every obsessive tween fangirl should watch it, so they would realize exactly how boring and unfulfilling achieving their dream of getting with their famous crush would be, and thinking they shouldn't, because they shouldn't think men with weird purity kinks who won't molest them are common.
my mom was 10 years older than my dad… my brother-in-law is 12 years older than my sister…. My husband was almost 10 years older than me….10 yrs is not a big age gap!! the laws are just different now…. when it comes to being under 18…..

Why is the the thumbnail giving twilight 😹
This movie was not good. Not in depth, left no feeling. I'm disappointed.
Amazing how the media or movie doesn't show Priscilla dating other soldiers & others in Germany when she was 14.... If she wanted to be on her own, than why has she lived off Elvis for over 50 ears !!!
Uuuh interesting
What about the parents??? They let her go to see Elvis in Germany, and sent her to the states.. seems like they were her groomers.. He was rich , and famous,and they saw an opportunity.. There would be no way in hell I would let my 14 yr old daughter date a 24 yr old man,I wouldn’t care how rich an famous her was.. IMO, I think she was a spoiled army brat, that her parents let her do just about anything she wanted to do.. So blame the parents!!!
He was 😊
Priscilla never cooked. She did not know how to cook. Elvis said he had a woman that would cook for him daily for him and his family. Don't know her name.
I loudly at the end of the movie said, so Elvis is an asshole damn and every single person of the theater agreed with me😅
Well then you are and they are morons- lemmings that believe everything you hear.
The film was A VERY, VERY, AGONIZINGLY SLOOOOW TRAIN-WRECK of LIES and INACCURACIES. Priscilla covers for her parents AND HER OWN CRIMES, and only points the finger at Elvis, one of the KINDEST and most GENEROUS human beings that EVER LIVED. No one who has followed Priscilla's relentless uncorroborated gold digger drama, including her daughter (who tragically recently passed) is buying her account here or in her 1985 book.
Historians, Truth seekers and Elvis fans in the know aren't fighting. Some of us have followed her for many many years. I read her book when it came out in 1985. We just know the truth, and are happy to share it. Why are SOME so eager to believe Priscilla and draw a dead man's legacy through the mud? Some just love a metoo narrative. Those people don't even BOTHER to do an integrity check on the one accusing Elvis, they just take her word for it and follow blindly along like a Lemming without doing a shred of research?? How smart is that?
Her CREDIBILITY and LACK OF EVIDENCE is the problem. Feel free to believe who you want, but at least do some basic research first:
CREDIBILITY FAIL #1: Priscilla stole from Lisa Marie's trust fund by paying herself $900,000, out of Lisa Marie's trust fund WITHOUT HER KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT!! Total financial damage: $16 million.
CREDIBILITY FAIL #2: It's believed now that Marco Garibaldi/Garcia EMBEZZLED $15 MILION from Lisa Marie's trust fund. Co-trustees Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu and Barry Siegel pressured Lisa Marie to sell 85% of her EPE-shares because it would be financially advantageous for them as trustees of Lisa Marie's trust fund. Never mind Lisa Marie's financial interests!
CREDIBILITY FAIL #3: After taxes Lisa Marie had $45 MILLION left from the sale of her EPE-shares. That money was squandered by Barry Siegel; he invested it in his own company, that went broke. He never paid Lisa Marie back.
CREDIBILITY FAIL #4: Priscilla's parents encouraged her relationship with Elvis because they were starstruck and wanted status and money. When Elvis was back in the States they discouraged Priscilla from dating with boys in Germany. Her mother, Ann Iversen, pushed Priscilla to write love letters to Elvis, who occasionally called Priscilla and was back with girlfriend Anita Wood. It was Priscilla, ordered by Ann, who begged Elvis to invite her to the US and it was her parents who forced Priscilla to move to Graceland although she wanted to stay in Germany with her then-boyfriend.
CREDIBILITY FAIL #5: After the divorce, Priscilla and Lisa Marie lived in a house that exposed not a single photo of Elvis Presley, the man, Priscilla claims, is the love of her life. Elvis certainly didn't believe her. In her book Elvis and Me, Priscilla seems to depict herself as the innocent victim of a bad man, Elvis Presley, but in reality, it is the other way around. It was Elvis Presley, who was manipulated and exploited by Priscilla and her parents. You don't publish negative books/films/interviews about the "love of your life".
CREDIBILITY FAIL #6: When Elvis had died, Priscilla was overheard telling her half-sister Michelle, giggling, that everybody thought she was crying behind her sunglasses but in reality, she was laughing. Priscilla thought she would inherit from Elvis but she did not. Elvis removed Priscilla from his will in February 1977 and left everything to HIS DAUGHTER Lisa Marie.
CREDIBILITY FAIL #7: Priscilla tried to challenge the will BACK THEN but to no avail. ONLY AFTER Elvis' death, did Priscilla IMMEDIATELY resume the use of the profitable surname PRESLEY to promote herself. ** Elvis forbade her in the divorce agreement to use his name but Priscilla has no respect for Elvis' wishes. **
CREDIBILITY FAIL #8: JUST FOUR DAYS after the funeral of Lisa Marie Priscilla challenged Lisa Marie's will from 2016 that removed her as trustee and placed Riley and deceased Benjamin in her seat. Now Riley has agreed that she will pay Priscilla $1.4 MILLION,-- and a guaranteed yearly allowance, during 10 years, to stop her from challenging Lisa Marie's will. Priscilla is also paid subtrustee over 1/9 of the Presley-estate that halfbrother Navarone Garbaldi gets. In a will, that Lisa Marie drew up in 1993, when she was 25, she left, in case of death, 1/9 of her estate to Navarone whom she then adored but when Lisa Marie died she had broken off all contact with Navarone, who publicly scolded her and wished her dead.
CREDIBILITY FAIL #9: After all her uncorroborated accusatory nonsense that Elvis was a creepy child molestor --- she DEMANDS TO BE BURIED RIGHT NEXT TO HIS COFFIN SIDE BY SIDE FOR ETERNITY IN HIS BACKYARD.. moving Elvis' beloved mother and fathers resting places!!!! .. 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.
THE SAD REALITY THAT SOFIA JUST GETS WRONG IN THIS TOTAL FABRICATION FILM: Priscilla Wagner Beaulieu is only interested in being famous and rich. She has exploited Elvis, Lisa Marie and now Riley, Finley and Harper. Priscilla is a narcissist who uses people and then discards them.
EPE should boycott Priscilla's strategic fantasy of lies. HOW in God's name or otherwise, can anyone else BELIEVE PRISCILLA, or worse support her? She is attacking Elvis' name and USING HIS LAST NAME (illegally I might add) with NO EVIDENCE. and NO EYEWITNESSES. Come on.
I will not watch this film, but if I'd been present when you said that, you would have had a dry chuckle from me. And, a long sigh.

If you see a movie based on Child bride you will know who is the real asshole. I would also love to see a movie based on Michael Edwards book, especially when a drugged out Priscilla beats the hell out of Lisa Marie in the street after prissy snorted a line of cocaine and the neighbors called the police.
I'm not letting my nieces date until they're 25 and have "found thenselves" ten times over so no one can use their naivety against them like this.
I recently watched a RUclips video where some of Elvis's exes speak out.They were 14 year old girls back then, one even said 14 was the magic number for elvis.He was younger than 24 with some of them, but still a legal adult and worshipped celebrity.He would have them get naked while he stripped down to his underwear, but that was the line.They would make out for hours, and never have sex.He was insecure about his sexual performance, so he liked virgins.He was also well aware of the legal ramifications.True to form, the now much older adult women looked back fondly on this time in their lives.One even said that back then they pedophiles weren't a thing, and it was a very different time.
Still disgusting as hell.
There was nothing in that video that said he would have them get naked or that he stripped down to his underwear! Why would you tell a lie like that???

Really enjoyed your commentary and points.
Elvis had the same upbringing as Michael Jackson would... many years later.
He also lived in an ultra protective cloud where saying no to him was never an option.
He was a 'forever child' and that brings with it some severe mental deviations from the norm.
But the 'Priscilla' movie is an extremely poor 'one-side' account of what actually happened.
Priscilla was/is no wallflower. She knew exactly what she wanted and used manipulation to achieve it.
She saw a man-child and made herself indispensable to him. She manipulated her family to be allowed to visit him.
She wanted the huge house, money and servants to attend to her every whim.
There're many women who have had terrible experiences in their life... Priscilla is just not one of them.
So creepy, poor Priscilla.
