Top Comments of this video!! :3
For those who kept comparing this to Baz Luhrmann's Elvis. This movie explores the relationship between Elvis and Priscilla from Priscilla's POV whereas Baz's Elvis was just Elvis' personal life and career. That movie did little to fleshed out Elvis and Priscilla's relationship so therefore we have this film from Sofia Coppola

As one reviewer in 1986 of the book 'Elvis and Me' (for which this film is based on) wrote: "It's disturbingly one-sided."
This is the second adaption of her book into a film. The first was the entertaining TV miniseries called, unsurprisingly, 'Elvis and Me' from 1988.
This new film... will likely suck. Big time. Dale Midkiff, the original Elvis actor from the '88 film, nailed the way Elvis moved and behaved. This new guy is too young to remember how older generations of men carried themselves.
This new film will also portray Priscilla as even more of a victim and not the gold digger she really was/is.
This film exists to defame Mr. Presley even further, a man who died at 42 years old and isn't around to defend himself.
Priscilla Wagner is a self promoting grifter that has now written a best selling book, made two films, numerous interviews -- all defaming Elvis while painting herself as a victim. Elvis' grandson, dead by suicide; his daughter, dead by drug addiction. His ex wife? Taking no responsibility and still trying to cash-in on "exposing" him.
She knew him for 16 years, was married to him for 5 years before cheating on him and divorce raping him and lived with him for 9 years.

People should probably be weary of this film. priscilla is not a good woman at all. This is quite a lot of writing.
The film is based on her book ,Elvis And Me, which she has admitted to lying and exaggerating in. She said she regretted writing the book even claiming she was âtoo harshâ. But still makes profit and sells the book and obviously having a film made about it.
Priscilla had 2 affairs (her dance instructor and also Elvis karate instructor, Mike stone) she only blames Elvis for their failed marriage. (Also in noticed within the Elvis fandom that people hate Priscilla for cheating on elvis but as much as I donât like her, elvis would cheat on her so much)
She desperately wanted to live with him- even demanding so. Yes they met when she was 14 and it wasnât right. Iâm not excusing it whatsoever but you have to remember that elvis was extremely vulnerable due to the loss of his mother who he was very close with. Around 2 months after they met, elvis was done in Germany so he went home. They didnât see each other again until 1963 when Priscilla was 17 and she moved in with vernon and Dee (elvis father and stepmother)
Elvis never touched Priscilla until they married in 1967 when she was 21. He never touched any girl underage inappropriately. Priscilla even said that they were more like friends and siblings when they met.
Remember I am not excusing this.
When they got married in 1967, they were intimate for the first time. This is when she fell pregnant with Lisa Marie.
Priscilla writes in her book thatâs Elvis never touched her after she gave birth. she later took back this statement saying that he did touch her. Elvis has also been said to have the Madonna-whore complex, I donât believe this. In 1968, during his comeback special, he met one of his backup dancers (Susan Henning) he was sexual with her, knowing that she had a child.
In 1972 when they split up, elvis (allegedly) requested in the divorce settlement that she was not allowed to use they Presley name. She followed this, going back to her maiden name (beaulieu). She even had elvis help at opening a fashion boutique called Bis and Beau. When Elvis died, she went back to the Presley name, as it opened doors for her. It was agreed that she would get around $750,000 from Elvis. But when Elvis went broke, she knew, and asked for more money.
Elvis took responsibility for the failed marriage even admitting in concert that it was his fault. Elvis even sold his publishing rights to her.
During the divorce, priscilla moved in with Elvis karate instructor, Mike stone, who left his pregnant wife for Priscilla. Priscilla knew all of this which makes me laugh because the amount of times she would complain about Elvis cheating on her. She left this out of her book.
After elvis died, priscilla joined Scientology (a cult) and would send an amounting and upset Lisa Marie to Scientology camp. Lisa was 9. Priscilla also allegedly kept Lisa away from Elvis side of the family.
Priscilla kept using the Presley name whilst being in a relationship for 22 years with a man and even having a son with him.
Before any of you say âshe wanted to keep the same name as her daughterâ. Why would she take it back after elvis died? Why wouldnât she use the same name as her son? Itâs because it gives her fame.
She still plays the grieving widow act. She also had a boyfriend who admitted to having sexual thought about 12 year old lisa marie (I donât think she knew though).
Lisa found out that Priscilla was stealing $1 million from Graceland. Obviously after lisa died earlier this year, she took her will into legal action because she wasnât on it. (Who would put their 78 year old mother on their will thinking that their mother would die before them)
She got $7 million after the case ended and made her son navarone own 1/9 of Graceland. Navarone wished death upon Lisa Marie.
Priscilla then had the nerve to want to be buried next to Elvis. (I donât get how she think she would be allowed, they were divorced when he died and his blood family would have to be moved in order to do this).
I thinks she is going to be buried next to Lisa Marie.
Remember elvis had done bad things aswell, but his are well known and Priscillas arenât. I just hope the film doesnât paint her as a saint even though it will.
Jacob elordi who plays Elvis doesnât wear blue contacts in the film. Which is a bit weird. I mean if youâre going to play a historical person then at least put effort in to look as much like them as possible.

I love how Sofia focuses on the female gaze, loneliness, girlhood and womanhood. Canât wait for this!
