Over the course of the relationship, we see Priscilla grow from girlhood to womanhood.

Key Points:

Over the course of the relationship, we see Priscilla grow from girlhood to womanhood.
On the surface, the story of Elvis and his wife Priscilla has all the qualities of a modern fairy tale.
She becomes queen to the “King of Rock and Roll” and they live happily ever after in their Memphis palace.
Coppola’s biopic in fact exposes the dark heart of this fairytale.

The lens of #MeToo

The audience watches as Priscilla matures under the shadow of Elvis’ controlling influence.
The #MeToo feminist landscape has shaped the story Coppola tells about Elvis and Priscilla.
The Twitter hashtag #MeToo was popularised in 2017 to expose the widespread abuse of women in Hollywood by the film producer Harvey Weinstein.
Priscilla is the latest in a cycle of post-#MeToo feminist retellings that offer a more sympathetic take on women in the spotlight.

Power and abuse

The film makes a comment about how powerful men are able to abuse their positions.
Coppola’s script emphasises the unequal power dynamic between Elvis and Priscilla, including the age difference.
The film shows how a toxic blend of fame, wealth and status draws people into Elvis’ orbit and, in turn, how his star power allows him to behave in ways that are rarely challenged by those around him.
