Elvis Presley Gives Priscilla a Makeover | Priscilla | Max

[@sobekmania]

For all of you complaining about how the actors don’t resemble the real Elvis and Priscilla: that’s the point. The film is supposed to touch on Elvis’s predatory nature, and how he preyed upon Priscilla when she was a teenager and controlled her life from thereon. The film puts accuracy on the sidelines in order to draw your attention to this.

[@510SPINESPLITTA8]

I like the choice. He looks like a scarecrow.

[@sobekmania]

@@510SPINESPLITTA8 The height difference was a deliberate visual choice in order to show how young Priscilla was in comparison to him. Also, Jacob Elordi is a total tree. Heh.

I am 80 and the lies make my head spend. I followed his career starting in 1956. He met her when she was 14 and was soon shipped back to the states. It is hard for people in this era to see the ideas and standards in my childhood of the 50's. It was common for parents to groom their own young daughters to marry rich, often it was an older man with wealth land security. Her own mother heard he was being stationed in Germany and set a plan to get her daughter married to the most famous man in the world. He left shortly after meeting her and went back to his life in the States. He didn't even contact her for over a year. She kept writing him and begging to go to Graceland. Finally her own parents, afraid Elvis had forgotten her sent her to Graceland two weeks shy of her 18th birthday. By the way I was married at 18 to an older man. She moved in with Vernon and Dee, he married her at 21. He didn't need to groom anybody, women on every corner were chasing his car. No one had that appeal then or since. She is his xwife, and wants to be an idol herself. She has lied so much it is sickening her own daughter threatened to sue her if she made the "Priscilla " movie saying it was wrong and vengeful.

This movie might not be a universal description of womanhood in the 50s/60s, but it certainly has a great understanding of what it meant to be a SOUTHERN woman at the time (standards you can still see in the south now). My grandmother married young and was a traditional southern wife, although working class. Always looked impeccable, didn't really value interests outside of home, church, etc. She had nice carpets and great hair, but couldn't wrap her head around my life as a woman with quite different, messier values (independence, education)

[@Jocelynjade]

That was womanhood in the 50s and 60s, not just southern. Look beautiful, maintain the house, do not look elsewhere. Do your duty and stay pretty.

While it may have been like this for some women, it's an oversimplification. Women certainly had hobbies and pursuits, were teachers, involved in civic organizations, ect. Just because it may not have been professional/for a company doesn't make their work less valuable. Both of my grandmothers lived similarly and both seemed very satisfied with their lives. Although I'm from the midwest rather than the south, so there may have been cultural differences. Also, don't devalue work in the home and the church, those can both be incredibly valuable and fulfilling aspects of life!

[@moonliteam]

There are always exceptions, however we're talking about norms and ideals of the time in a certain time and place. Yes, home and church can be meaningful, but there's issues when women are confined/limited and want access to independence and opportunity without being shamed or ostracized. Frankly, my experience with my grandmother was quite discouraging; for example, she would mock me for reading, and most of her comments/compliments revolved around looks. She happened to work as a bank teller because they needed the money so I don't just mean lack of a "job or profession" being the issue, but something deeper. I do think her views were the norm during her youth, and don't blame her for trying to pass along certain values which is what every generation does.

It's all a fairytale, from her own making, I have been a fan since 56 and saw it all. She is his xwife not his widow. She continues to this day at almost 80 years old to trade off of his name, he wanted her to drop the Priscilla name when they divorced. He went on to have affairs with many men who she wouldn't marry because she'd lose the Presley name. She was with Marco Garabaldi. Robert Kardashian, josie Eber, Nigel Farrere. Jerry Schilling. Mike Edwards, so many too many to name. she wants to be the superstar herself. Her hateful son by Marco even goes around saying he hated Lisa Marie and was glad she was dead. Research.

[@Mary-d5x6g]

Priscilla was executive producer of this movie. Her partner and antique dealer in London, Bridget Krause. commissioned Sophia Coppola to make this movie. She picked a little actress and a tall 6 foot 4 actor to play Elvis. See the dynamics here. It's all to paint her as an innocent when she wasn't. She moved into Graceland, sent by her parents, at almost 18 years old. I was married at 18. If she went shopping for clothes it was with the buddies of Elvis wives, so she wasn't lonely and one of those is Jo Smith wife of Elvis cousin Billy. She was given money clothes cars, jewelry everything she wanted, and Elvis never forced her to do anything. In fact as the lie in her book states, some friend to Elvis asked her to meet Elvis. Wrong. She Propositioned a married man to meet Elvis. Named Currie Grant, all that is documented in "Child Bride", and incidentally she was 21 when she married Elvis, and free to go, or stay with Elvis, she wasn't the prisoner of Zenda.

[@xClaraDelRey]

The first thing she did after moving to Graceland and graduating, was she enrolled herself at the patricia steven’s modelling school/agency, where she took beauty, fashion, acting, modelling classes etc. that’s where she was taught how to do her signature look of the 60s. “I went to Patricia Stevens’ finishing school. I just turned 18 and met Pat Kerr there,” Presley says. “We became instant friends, and she actually taught me how to [wear] my makeup back in the day.” “I never felt like a style was imposed on me by Elvis, or that I had to dress like the girlfriend of a big star. I maintained my own style. He had a look that he liked, but I had my own thing - I would tell him that I don’t like this, or that’s not me, and he got it. In Memphis I used to design my own clothes. I had a woman who would make them, and I would have them made for Elvis as well.” Far from everything in the movie is accurate. Priscilla admitted this herself, that the memoir Elvis and Me was mostly either lies or exaggerations, and that book is exactly what this movie is based on. You really have to do some digging to find out the truth.

[@blor3664]

The truth was she was in fact 14 year old child. Would you let your daughter be alone with Elvis?

When you date the richest people in the world for their status and money, you'd better be ready to dress how they want, act how they want, and do what they want. The issue here is that Priscilla was still just a kid.

[@SabrinaBelladonna]

Well said!!!! Unfortunately, even a lot of adults do not know this; many women seem to think that a man with a high status will treat her like royalty, the truth is however that he will often regard her as his accessory - the pretty little thing at his side; a doll who dresses as she is told to and smiles when told to.

@@SabrinaBelladonna Amen. These days you're lucky if you can marry for love & money. Usually doesn't happen. That's why it's too much of a risk to marry for cash. Better to make your own.

So basically you are basically saying if anyone dates a rich person, you don’t have a choice anymore because he’s rich and you owe it to him to dress the way he wants. Cool and you threw except for she was a child to make yourself see less gross. I hope you don’t have kids, you sound like a pimp.

The older film that Priscilla did based off her book back in the day is much much better than this film.
