Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4271312, member: 1414"] [B]The House of Gucci. 2021[/B]. So, big cast here with Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jeremy Irons, Al Pacino and shockingly Jared Leto. They all do a good job, Leto is better than good, he's unrecognizable as Paolo Gucci. I didn't know the story, maybe some do. Irons and Pacino are Gucci brothers Rodolpho and Aldo and own the stock 50-50. It's a somewhat old company that is facing fading relevance, and modern counterfeiting. But really this is about the family and the backstabbing, and Lady Gaga setting her sights on Rodolpho's son Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) and reeling him in like a prized tuna. She's sexy, curvy and plays a very long game. In some ways, she plays it too well as you see the whole thing unfold. It's long and maybe could have used some editing, but it isn't tedious. Not amazing, but there are very good performances and lots of nice scenery. Side note: I don't think I have appreciated how much of a chameleon Jared Leto is. I keep seeing the Morbius trailer and he's fit, athletic, handsome. In Gucci, he's fat, balding and looks 10 years older. Looking at what he's been in, its remarkable how he simply blends in and becomes the character, even [I]Joker[/I] where he's the lead. So much so I lose track of the fact that it's him. [/QUOTE]
