Priscilla

“Have I lost you to another man?” ”You’re losing me to a life of my own. I have to go. If I stay, I’ll never leave.” honestly, I did fall in love with the whole aesthetic, and this movie made me fall in love with sofia coppola’s shots and way of portraying the story and emotions, but it didn’t really hit me the first time. yet somehow i couldn’t stop thinking about this and just had the urge to rewatch and now i’m thinking, this might just be one of my favourites. i'm going to first address my take on the most obvious topic; its historical accuracy. frankly i didn't do enough research and chose to watch this as a story of its own and not take it as real life facts, because i also think it's such a personal and intimate side of their lives that i believe no one could ever know the actual truth. on that note, priscilla was so young when everything started and lived every girl’s fantasy only to find out she wasn’t even living. experiencing this through her perspective while also being an adult watching from a distance felt like a juxtaposition on itself to me. we could see how wrong it was while understand what she was feeling on every part of the story. cailee spaeny was absolutely STUNNING as priscilla and i love her performance here, i think it really aligned with sofia’s subtle ways.
