I hope Cailee Spaeny gets all the recognition and praise she deserves and she doesn't get overshadowed because she's less known compared to Jacob.
she already won the coppa volpi at the venice film festival, she's more likely to get award attention than him
Don't worry, Cailee will get more awards than Jacob. Cailee recently won Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival and recieved her first Gotham Award nomination. She's going to do just fine. Award shows will acknowledge her more than Jacob but the general public know Jacob more than Cailee
I love movie
She was excellent; the cream rises to the top.
She does not deserve praise for all the lies she told about Elvis in this movie. It does not at all stick to the book, but the main one to blame is Priscilla who let her do it.
I love how Jacob is very gently hunched over and spreading his feet out so he's not towering over Sofia and Cailee
He wouldn't fit in frame😭
Omfg stfu. Every single thing this guy does girls obsess over. “Omg he isnt taking rapid breaths so he saves some oxygen for sofia omg how sweet and humble”
gentle giantism is important
@@ohno-wx6jzhe would fit
Fr my poor posture isn’t because I’m lazy, it’s because I’m polite.
Always admired Sofia for the gentleness she brings to filmmaking and being a director.
I concur!
What she did with this pack of lies against Elvis is not very gentle.
Cailee Spaeny is so present. I can't quite explain but look how thoughtfully she looks at Sofia and Jacob. Even when she is not speaking I feel like she's still saying things.
I love how soft spoken and gentle Jacob is, how Cailee is so humble yet getting her roses, and how Sofia makes Cailee and Jacob feel so valued and respected!!! Can’t wait to see this
Jacob is so humble and well spoken. His deep voice is very calming and his little australian accent showing time to time is just adorable. 🥺❤️
YES,I LOVE HIM SM
@@Lara-bh1bc FR ONE OF MY FAV ACTORS FOR SURE-
we don’t care about him. cailee is the star
Ok ok ok
@@addknees2050 who is we..
the art/prop department was amazing, every elvis poster with Jacob's face in it looked like the original and the movie perfectly combined
The fact that Jacob is like in a full spread eagle stance to avoid looking 2-3 feet taller than Sophia and Cailee is hilarious to me
and so heartwarming...
@@TheBelilu 🤡
I literally thought Sofia Coppola must be in her 30s... she's 52!! she looks so young!!
She's a stunning woman.
Easy when you're privileged
Yikes @@theapavlou3030
i love how well thought through and sane everyone’s observations are in the interview it makes me want to watch this film even more knowing there are nice people behind it
It wasn’t his idea it was the director of the scene
The actors may be nice but Priscilla and Coppola told so many lies about Elvis in this movie.
Please do some reading before you see it, it's factually embellished for dramatic effect on the strength of the Elvis movie. Priscilla wanted the attention and more money
That scene where the chair was thrown made my heart sink 💔
This didnt actually happen
This is the first time I saw that scene. It speaks volumes how Priscilla saw for the first time that Elvis lost his temper and it was difficult to realize he didn’t want her to have an opinion that was different than his. Also how he said he was sorry and wanted her to just immediately accept the fact he was sorry and just move on as if it didn’t happened. It did happen and she was not given time to cope with fear and realization that she couldn’t speak her mind and have her own opinion.
Did you hear Coppola admit here that in real life Elvis never threw a chair at Priscilla? Yes he did want her to have an opinion and asked for it. He often showed temper, not just around Priscilla but it was always directed at OBJECTS not at people.
She said Priscilla specified that he didn't throw a chair *at* her, he threw it at the wall *close* to her. That's exactly what the scene is portraying.
@@liv97497 But in her book she did not say that he threw the chair at the wall close to her. In the movie they make it look like he threw a chair AT her! Priscilla should have made sure the movie did not go out like that.
@@saphireblue3563 no they don't. It's perfectly clear he threw it at the wall, as she barely moves, only flinches, and the chair doesn't even touch her.
@@liv97497 No it is not perfectly clear that he threw it at the wall. Anyway, in her book she did not say that he threw it near her head.
they have to walk such a fine line when explains certain things, even about the chair when Elvis throws it ,the three of them say" oh he threw a chair at the WALL and not pricilla". Stilll comes across as trying to defend Elvis. It has to be hard using prisscillas memoir and working directly with Priscilla and also trying to portray how icky Elvis really when, when even Priscilla really loved him and never wanted to talk negatively about him. When its so clear how tense Elvis really was.
I think part of the reason Priscilla doesn't want to is because she realized he was a victim of the times, fame, (this was a HUGE reason) drugs, and his dad. Don't get me wrong, he definitely did bad things but I can see why she would want to defend him.
considering she was the one experiencing abuse, SHE was a victim of those times, and many women like her. Him and the men that inflicted abuse are not victims of the times. He is a victim of his abusive father and drug addiction, but make the distinction , he is not a victim of "the times" if he was the abuser. lol
@@emma_luce_0623
Are u kidding me? This didnt actually happen. Priscilla says this.
I just read in the above comments that Priscella states in the book, that she "wasn't even in the room when Elvis threw the chair. She opened the door at that exact moment. priscilla explained it very clearly.".
@@TheBelilu Yess. She didn't explain it in the book, she explained it in an interview.
Love how softly and precisely they talk❤
Im really glad Jacob is getting some recognition, hes definitely a very unique actor.
It was definitely the best actor in the kissing booth series. 😂 Granted, those movies are very cheesy and honestly bad but for being a cheesy role he did it pretty well, bringing in some class as well as cheesiness
His performance as Elvis was very bad. He got the accent, but then was boring to watch.
although it seems he always plays the same type character I’d like to see as something less abusive / toxic
@@recetasfaciles2816it was hard to watch him lmao
I really admire Sofia Coppola. Love her movies.
All incredible creators but in this interview it’s clear Spaeny is a leader and she totally earned that lead role! ❤
These three are just so precious, cannot wait for Priscilla! Also love how Cailee is representing us forever baby-faced girls!!
Also this scene is really tense. here we are in a very dimly lit room, Elvis is obviously very tense, and here you have all of these MEN on one side of the room in a much darker spot where you have this tiny little girl on the opposite side who is clearly uncomfortable. Then The height difference between the two actors helps create this very large male- dominating presence that looms over a smaller softer female presence almost showing how predatory it really was.
She was at least 23 here.. I agree that she's very petite so the scene makes you realize how vulnerable she feels but she's not a little girl 😅
Yes but the whole thing is a LIE. Elvis was not a giant, and Priscilla was not a midget. The height difference was to make Elvis look dominating, which he wasn't.and show Priscilla as a victim, which she wasn't. In real life, Elvis was not even a foot taller than Priscilla.
I love love love Sofia’s connection to her cast
Another fascinating scene analysis. What a great team these three make!
Fascinating scene analysis? Telling people that Elvis never threw a chair at Priscilla but they showed him doing that in the movie anyway? How about "fascinating slander" of a guy who is not here to defend himself?
Embellishing for dramatic effects and people actually believe this rubbish. It's inaccurate, as Priscilla admits. Pls do some research, thus woman has made a fortune off trashing Elvis and keeping his name. She was never a victim
cailee captured priscilla’s youth perfectly ugh beautiful
I got to see this early and I think it’s my favourite Sofia Coppola movie. Cailee Spaeny is incredible!
Cailees girlish energy is ooooo vulnerable and fierce I’m just astonished
This is great, don't get me wrong as an Elvis fan, the celebrity pressure and the context of the time is great!!
It’s emotionally/mentally abusive just bc it wasn’t physical. Even once. If my bf did this to me I would be looking at him all sorts of crazy. Yea he didn’t physically hurt her. But he’s basically saying “this is what I will do to you if you speak up again” I remember seeing this scene in the theater and gasping.
It would be so funny for the Oscars to give Jacob an award instead of Austin
A joke 😂
That would be absolutely absurd
the virgins on Twitter would rejoice
but it would be the least deserving Oscar ever given to a mid-level overrated actor in the history of the award
the only buzz this movie is getting is the comparisons to Austin 😂
how embarrassing
Love jacob voice, so relaxing. 😊
Mare of Easttown was GREAT! Excite for this too.
Jacob is amazing actor….
If it's Sophia Coppola I watch.
Lana on the soundtrack would make everything even better
Apparently she turned it down sofias request for a song in the film. Boo hoo
sofia wins again she’s such an amazing director
I am SO EXCITED for this movie!!! 😍
sofia, my beloved. my favorite female director ever.
Cailee Spaeny is so beautiful both in The Craft Legacy and Priscilla
Lisa Marie was at Graceland when her dad died and knew it.
Wow Jacob height. He's too handsome 😍
Never saw Elvis, the real one, in his 68 special or "that's the way it is" ?
this movie is my LIFE ❤
Which movie could be more appropriate for Halloween ?
Yes, a real "trick" 😂👎🏻
Can’t wait to see this movie.
Dang Jacob is beautiful
this movie is my joker
Cailee should keep the Priscilla look full time. She looked gorgeous
i loved this movie so much
Antes de seu falecimento, Lisa Marie Presley, filha de Elvis Presley, expressou sua insatisfação com a representação de seu pai no roteiro do novo filme de Sofia Coppola, "Priscilla". Em emails enviados à diretora, descritos pela revista Variety, Lisa pediu que Sofia reconsiderasse sua visão sobre o personagem de Elvis, visando poupar sua família de constrangimentos públicos. Os emails foram enviados quatro meses antes de Lisa sofrer uma parada cardíaca fatal em janeiro.
As mensagens de Lisa classificaram o roteiro como "surpreendentemente vingativo e desdenhoso". Ela solicitou a Coppola que evitasse tensões na sua já frágil relação com sua mãe, Priscilla Presley - que é o foco do filme - e escrutínio sobre os netos vivos de Elvis - ela ainda lamentava a perda do filho Benjamin Keough, falecido em 2020.
Lisa ameaçou se posicionar publicamente contra o filme e a participação de sua mãe, que é creditada como produtora executiva. Não se deixem enganar por pessoas mentirosas que só querem dinheiro as custas da destruição de Elvis. Elvis não é essa que ela diz no filme. Ele não merece isso. Fonte: uol
👏👏👏
Não podemos esquecer que a Lisa tinha 9 anos quando o Elvis faleceu, a imagem que ela tem do pai é a mesma que a maior parte de nós tem sobre nossos pais quando somos pequenos. É uma visão rodeada mais por amor do que por qualquer outra coisa. É compreensível ela querer defender o pai e se ofender pela forma que ele foi mostrado no livro da mãe e no filme, mas também precisamos levar em consideração o fato de que ela não teve a mesma vivência privada que a Priscilla teve com o Elvis, e é de se imaginar que ele nunca trataria a filha de forma violenta. Ela e a mãe conheceram versões bem diferentes do Elvis.
@@amandacarmona8981 Lisa knew her mother very well…and she knew she wasn’t the angel she pretends to be. Priscilla also mistreated Lisa and made her live practically everything Elvis also lived, so I’m betting Lisa empathizes a lot with her father.
@@user-golden-rhapsody5915 how did Priscilla mistreated Lisa?
So the voice on the recordings is Jacob singing like Elvis, or were they just talking about this speaking voice sounding like Elvis? I thought they were listening to demos by other singers because they wanted Elvis to record their song. Did anyone think Cailee was channeling Ariana Grande as Cat Valentine some in this movie?
Incredible. I never knew he was violent
That’s because he wasn’t.
😂😂 he wasn't violent at all
The amount of people in private life we never know.
I mean he was also a predator, so there’s nothing new really
@@swagmf111 🤣🤣
"As for those highly publicized dates between Elvis and Ann Margret, his long-time girl, Priscilla Beaulieu, is always along" (24 sep 1963) : one of the numerous examples showing how nonrelyable is the only source Coppola wrongly used for her movie
There are going to be a lot of unwanted, unnecessary comparisons to Baz's "Elvis" last eto this one. Picking it apart. Obviously there are 2 different stories.
Great film!
A Sofia parece querer fazer do Elvis um homem ruim, sendo que no livro da Priscilla ela não descreve ele dessa forma. Ele sim traiu ela e não foi presente, mas ele sendo violento eu não lembro de ter lido nada disso.
Elvis wasn’t a monster, so Sofia had to make him one and Priscilla wasn’t an angel, so Sofia had to make her one.
❤
I luved this movie!
Jacob is incredible ❤
I’m excited for the movie but like they didn’t even tried to characterize Jacob like Elvis lol he just looks like Jacob playing Jacob (and yes we know the focus is on Priscilla)
Awesome 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎💯💯💯💯😎😎😎
Okay the song actually was missing something
erm goner graceland
they're too pretty
when are they showing the movie in southeast asia... i wanna watch so bad
So she admits HERE that Priscilla said that Elvis never threw a chair AT her...but in the movie, he does indeed throw a chair AT her. So Coppola, with Priscilla's later approval, let the movie go out with this lie about Elvis. So many other lies in the movie too, with Priscilla's approval.
So like are you tryna defend Elvis here or what are you tying to say? ☠️
@@Ivyinterrupted I said what I said. The movie is full of lies to make Elvis look like an abuser.
Exactly. This is how reliable this movie is 😂
Let's remember how Sofia managed to ruin the Godfather trilogy. And how Priscilla changed her story
❤
🎭🎭💫💫💫💫💫🎭🎭
I know that this movie is about Priscilla, but that guy looks nothing like Elvis. Someone needs to call Austin Butler.
I think it was stupid that they couldn't us Elivis' songs in this movie. I am not a fan of nor was ever a fan of the late Lisa Marie or her daughters. Also Jacob Elordi is even taller than Elvis really was, I read.
6 foot 5
This one scene does NOT define Elvis.
To really evaluate this scene or any other scene in the movie we must contextualise the moments both before and after, in other words the reasons behind the actions.
When things are taken or read out of context then the actual scene can be totally void of any rhyme or reason.
Sometimes what isnt shown actually gives the plot more impetus and a believeable, empathetic and meaningful narrative.
To my mind this scene shows, by not showing, that something was clearly bothering Elvis at this moment in time , and sadly Priscilla or anyone around him received his wrath.
Elvis was human, very human, but way too often neither expected nor allowed to be. 😔
it defines elvis as a human !
@@gassbaggerwoods5955
I agree!
uh.... abuse apologetics...
@@MysticFlyingUnicorn what do you mean by that ? 🤔
@@anY-bf9udthat you refuse to believe your favorite artist was abusive to his wife and okay to admit that, he’s dead trust it’s okay
??
Am I the only one who saw Sofia only direct her compliments towards Jacob and not Cailee.
she does in other interviews, but this one interview is mainly a scene about jacob/elvis so
she complemented her a bunch at the very end
Not at all. Especially at the end she was complimenting her for her facial expressions as reaction after he throws the chair and was apologizing to her.
Jacob is so sweet and lovely, being nice as well as handsome is so important, sounds like he be a great boyfriend whoever is lucky to have him., .
Priscilla Bealiue depends on Presley'sname and money throughout
her like untilnow
but this malicious
evilmind movie
Priscilla Bealiue is an ungrateful woman.Coppola'smovie is superficial
selfsatisfactory.
people know Elvis'shumanity talent
humor.people don't
like Priscilla Bealiue'scharacter
lmao wtf is this
That movie was unbelievably boring af.

Jacobs too tall to be Elvis
The chair scene? Oh you mean that moment that isn't earned whatsoever by the movie because it comes out of nowhere and doesn't have any of the other details of the scene in the book. This film is not even a fraction as deep as they're making it sound.
The way they both look nothing like Elvis and Pricilla.....
Agree
Not even the characterization helped.
Lisa Marie did not approve of this film. And even Pricilla 's pierce Morgan interview she didnt paint him in a bad light. This is so wrong.
Didnt Priscilla herself pass on support to this film? This is her story, that she herself told, so shouldn't her opinion be prioritized here?
May Lisa haunt you all
I’m sorry to say this but Austin butler was a better Elvis
Dont be sad austin is bestt .😊can't even be compared
i think elvis got tired of priscilla and didnt want to be with her when men do this its a sign they are not happy... look how badly he treated then he changed his mind he was bi polor he would have done that with other women as well it was his medication too making him this way
cheap woman
Priscilla
cheap movie
Priscilla
Para Priscilla él era de lo peor, pero la herencia ¿no?
Unnecessary movie in my opinion
Wow! Never heard of Cailee Spaeny till now? ☝️😎 I was walking by a wide flat screen TV at a travel center, and I was stopped frozen in my tracks, and wondered who is this intriguingly gorgeous classy woman? Shes is one Cailee Paeny. She’s a looker alright. 11/3/23 she was on the view speaking to “them”. You could see Sara Haines green with envy seeing how attractive Cailee Spaeny was. Lol 😂 It probably made her wish she could be 27 year young all over again? That’s the way I feel seeing these young men shredded with abdominal muscles visible. Yeah, I had my glory days with my 8 pack ripped. I’ve made the women swoon. Now it’s my turn to step aside. The glory days were great
Very odd and creepy comment. I would certainly recommend touching grass.
Someone check this freaks hard drive
@@mollyann642 😳
@@SmartStart24 maybe it was a little creepy deepy peepy? 🤔😁
Her posture really bothers me 😭
why did Priscilla stay with Elvis if he is violent wirh cilla I have the movie Priscilla movie she is having anxiety about leaving Elvis kiss cilla at the stairs she is growing all her power to leave Elvis
Why do you believe this? Priscilla wow , thank goodness I am a fan of Elvis and not you. Plenty of videos out there that tell different stories.
"These actors who play the Memphis Mafia" = barely more than extras with almost no lines of dialogue and no characterization despite being important figures in Priscilla's story and close friends to her. This movie is so lazy and is all set dressing, no depth.
That's def done on purpose. Not laziness. The point is they were always that but she didn't really know them at all.
We want billie eilish interview
I don’t know why they said that most of the movie Elvis nice side was portrayed more cause he was mostly abusive and creepy
you betrayed the king shame on you
Cry more
@@lexm17he’s the king of rock 😭🖐️
Nothing against the actors, But elvis fans are boycotting this movie. Priscilla is not who she seems. Do your research.
Now that’s something I agree with. And the end of the day the actors are just doing their job. I know some people say the actors should’ve investigated a little more on the real Priscilla, but they also have to remember the actors do what they do for a living and they can’t risk loosing roles and opportunities.
Delusional, blind Elvis fans may be boycotting this movie. SOME of us are capable of accepting Elvis' considerable flaws and loving him anyway.
way too tall to be elvis
The movie flopped hard and was forgettable. Elvis, on the other hand, did way better
No thanks 👎🏻👎🏻
Is this a joke? He sounds nothing like Elvis. He achieved exactly what Austin Butler was trying to avoid: becoming a silly charicature of Elvis. Also, Priscilla was very clear that he never hurt her or threw anything AT her, but they purposefully create the illusion that he is throwing the chair at/near her on purpose. Just like Lisa Marie said, a very dishonest and vengeful depiction of her father. I had high hopes for this movie, unfortunately looks like I won’t be seeing it.
yes I read the Article with what Lisa Marie said with the leaked Emails with Copolla or however you spell her name like who cares -- she said this is not my Father reading the script -- and she went against the movie and her MOM -- Elvis was never abusive even Zilla said that but they throw that iN!!!! Yes E had a temper that's well known but never have I heard Anita Wood Linda Thompson Ginger Alden in their books say Elvis did anything like that to them -- P is a liar and about money - and destroying Elvis!!! What was she thinking this would do??? Paint Elvis in a beautiful light? She knew what She was doing and didn't even listen to her own daughter --
Breaking things when angry in front of someone is still abuse, even if the person isn’t directly targeted. It’s saying that violence is an option I’m willing to use and you’re not safe. Stop being an apologist for abuse.
@@hoover728 I disagree. You can throw an object at a wall yet never have any intention of hurting your spouse. And he never did. Its still a very disrespectful, overly dramatized version of the true story.
@@hoover728 she threw things at him too, I’m going to go out on a limb and say those moments are not included in the film?
‘Emotional and verbal abuse also includes violence that isn’t directed specifically at people but is used to intimidate, like slamming doors, throwing things, destroying belongings, or harming pets.
These behaviors are just as serious as other forms of abuse and may damage self-worth and well-being.’
I hope you’re not in an abusive relationship? The type of justifications you’re making sound like Stockholm syndrome.
The movie lacked any deep connections or dimensions. Very boring, Priscilla is portrayed as not having any intelligence. Very creepy.
no, she’s portrayed as a child. which she was….😭
@ashtonb7931 this is my thought exactly. This is so often whitewashed in Elvis biopics, including the most recent one, but when they met she was 14, a child, and he was 24, an adult. It actually is/was incredibly creepy.
@@ashtonb7931poor innocent girl 😂😂. Please..when she moved to Graceland she was 18, not 8 and her parents allowed her.
@@elvis78alewell yes she was a poor innocent girl
Priscilla lacks and depth or connection. What can we expect.
Sofia is sucked. Most of her movies are flops
