What big celebrity deserves their own movie?

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

[jonnowocky]

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.

[jengapuppy]

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

[supershepherd]

Even an 18 year old being with a 14 year old is wrong and disgusting. So, a 24 year old being with a 14 year old is inexcusable.

[Erasureeraser]

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 🤷

[pigpjs]

I remember when Priscilla wrote her book there was a lot of public backlash because "she was tarnishing Elvis' reputation"...yeah

[laurena]

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."

[AndSoWeLaughed]

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.

[charlottebreton]

10 years if not a big age gap, until were talking about underage people, which is SO illegal.

[scottietrademark]

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.

[PipeDog]

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.

[FoNgThOnG]

I don't care if the age of consent was different in Germany. A 10 year difference is still disgusting...Especially when it's 14 and 24.

[emmalynnhubble]

People really dont realize that elvis new his relationship with priscilla was inappropriate because he actively hid his relationship until she is old enough.

[Jons]

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."

[uptonogood]

Very interesting how Elvis was critical of Jerry Lee Lewis and his 13 yr old bride. How was Elvis better?

[magicpotatoechips]

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.

[Yoyozworld]

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...

[blammela]

It’s disgusting how many people support that he was grooming a child

[MsRiley]

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.
