Sofia Coppola's "Priscilla" is the biopic inspired by Priscilla's 1985 memoir, 'Elvis and Me,' focusing on Priscilla's perspective of her relationship with Elvis, which is sometimes suffocating. Coppola's film is the opposite of what Baz Luhrmann aimed to portray in "Elvis" (2022).

Coppola likely relates to her own experiences living in the shadows of a powerful and successful man—her father, Francis Ford Coppola—drawing parallels to Priscilla's journey toward independence.

Priscilla Beaulieu is an innocent teenager when she meets the heartthrob Elvis Presley in Germany, far from his rock-and-roll kingdom. What begins as a starstruck crush, fueled by shared homesickness, evolves into a complicated love affair, revealing the unseen vulnerabilities of a cultural icon. Their relationship progresses from the initial fairytale excitement to a whirlwind marriage, and the film poignantly depicts their life together.

Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955): "War is a cowardly escape from the problems of
peace."

Today Israeli occupation forces attacked more hospitals in Gaza including
the Indonesian Hospital. Medicines are not allowed yet including most
cancer medicines (one month now) and no fuel for hospitals in the North. 18
Palestinians were killed today in the West Bank and over a 150 in Gaza. The
US is still trying to do tokenism by saying they can agree to a 4 hour
pause daily. That is four hours for the Israeli military trorefule and
resume the genocide for the next 20 hours daily.  Humane Gaza Doctors

On October 20, Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, stood on the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing, between Egypt and besieged Gaza. 

 Guterres was not the only international figure to travel to the Gaza border, hoping to mobilize the international community in the face of an ongoing genocide, in an already impoverished and besieged Strip. 

 “Behind these walls, we have two million people that is suffering (sic) enormously,” Guterres said.

 These efforts, however, paid little dividends. 

 The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Ashraf al-Qudra, said in a statement on October 24, that the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza is “too slow (for it to) change the reality” on the ground.
