These days we have a number of movies that portray the lives of many showbiz people who were (and still are) iconic. I have been watching some of these movies over the months such as Bohemian Rhapsody, Elvis and even Blonde, but recently I watched Priscilla (which although she was in show business at the time, most people know her for having been the wife of the world famous Elvis Presley) and I remembered my feelings towards these movies which I will talk about later...

Actualmente tenemos una serie de películas que retratan la vida de muchas personas del espectáculo que fueron (y siguen siendo) unos iconos. He estado viendo algunas de estas películas en el pasar de los meses como Bohemian Rhapsody, Elvis e incluso Blonde, pero recientemente vi Priscilla (que si bien en su momento se dedicó al mundo del espectáculo, por lo que la mayoría de personas la conocen es por haber sido esposa del mundialmente famoso Elvis Presley) y recordé mi sentir hacia estas películas del cual hablare mas adelante...

Priscilla is a 2023 biographical film written, directed and co-produced by Sofia Coppola, based on 1985's Elvis and Me, memoirs of Priscilla Presley, which, as the name implies, follows Priscilla's life and her relationship with Elvis Presley.

It is well known that this relationship was quite curious (to say the least) since Priscilla was only 14 years old when she met Elvis who was 10 years younger than her and although in the movie you can see that her parents did not agree with the relationship that their little daughter had with Elvis, they always ended up giving in once he talked to them. And well, it's no secret that at that time everybody liked Elvis Presley and I don't even have to mention what he did for a living, so Priscilla wasn't going to be the exception, although she would later realize that being Elvis Presley's girlfriend wasn't going to be what she expected. What I could tell from the movie is that it seemed like Elvis only wanted Priscilla just to have a woman to greet him when he came home, she had to be there for him and she really couldn't do much when Elvis wasn't around, not even talk to the house staff, she was always alone.

Es bien sabido que esta relación fue bastante curiosa (por decir menos) ya que Priscilla solo tenia 14 años cuando conoció a Elvis el cual era 10 años menor que ella y aunque en la película se ve que sus padres no estaban de acuerdo con la relación que su pequeña hija llevaba con Elvis, siempre terminaban cediendo una vez que el hablaba con ellos. Y bueno, para nadie es un secreto que en ese tiempo a todo el mundo le gustaba Elvis Presley que ni siquiera tengo que mencionar a que se dedicaba, así que Priscilla no iba a ser la excepción, aunque luego se daría cuenta de que ser la novia de Elvis Presley no iba a ser lo que ella esperaba. Lo que yo pude notar en la película es que pareciera que Elvis solo quería a Priscilla solo para tener a una mujer que lo recibiera cuando volvía a casa, tenia que estar por y para el y realmente ella no podía hacer mucho cuando Elvis no estaba, ni siquiera hablar con el personal de la casa, siempre estaba sola.

Regarding the cast, costumes and setting, I think they managed to capture it to perfection, you compare the real photos with those of the film and there is a huge resemblance and in general, I liked the movie, but here is my dilemma with the biographical films of celebrities, and I have a kind of love-hate towards them, although it is interesting to see the path of these famous celebrities, I feel that really does not bring anything, it is not something we have not seen or read before, it is not something that has not been shown or has not been known, it was already known (for example) the situation of Freddy Mercury or Elvis himself, and even the strange relationship of him with Priscilla and then when you see it in the movie it becomes boring, you realize that they didn't have the life you thought and it even seems that nothing happens (speaking specifically about Priscilla's case, that anyone would believe that she had a dream life and it was the opposite), but my opinion is just that, my opinion, so I want to know what you think about this topic. I'll say goodbye for now, thank you very much for reading and I'll see you later in another post ❤️

Con respecto al cast, vestuario y ambientación, creo que lograron plasmarlo a la perfección, comparas las fotos reales con las de la película y hay un enorme parecido y en general, me gusto la película, pero aquí va mi dilema con las películas biográficas de celebridades, y es que tengo una especie de amor-odio hacia ellas, si bien es interesante ver el camino de estas celebridades famosas, siento que realmente no aporta nada, no es algo que no hayamos visto o leído antes, no es algo que no se haya mostrado o no se haya sabido, ya se sabia (por ejemplo) la situación de Freddy Mercury o del propio Elvis, e incluso la extraña relación de el con Priscilla y luego cuando lo ves en la película se torna hasta aburrido, te das cuenta de que no tenían la vida que tu creías y hasta parece que no pasa nada (hablando específicamente del caso de Priscilla, que cualquiera creería que tenia una vida soñada y era todo lo contrario), pero mi opinión es solo eso, mi opinión, así que quiero saber que opinas tu acerca de este tema. Yo por ahora me despido, muchas gracias por leerme y nos vemos luego en otro post ❤️
