I saw the Elvis movie weeks ago at an early preview showing. (Sorry for the delay in posting) The beginning gave me goosebumps and the recreations and costumes were gorgeous in their detail. I thought the actors’ performances were top-notch. And I love that this movie is introducing Elvis to a whole new audience.

BUT with that said, I found the movie very disappointing.

My disappointment in the movie is it’s Priscilla’s revisionist history. It’s the story she keeps repeating ad nauseum. Elvis died sad, idle, lonely and pining for Priscilla.

NOPE!

After they divorced, he continued to record (and some of his best work is from that time), gave to charity and performed far beyond just Vegas. Elvis had relationships with other women — he was practically married to Linda Thompson. She was his true life partner for 4 years, always with him, caring for him, and totally devoted to him. Looking at Linda’s Instagram feed now, you can see that she still loves him and what a big role she played in his life. YET SHE IS MISSING! Ginger Alden, was ENGAGED TO ELVIS — and she is missing.

The Elvis movie was beautifully shot but it told Priscilla’s version, not Elvis’s.

You know, in case you were wondering how I felt.
