Tragedy collapse of 'Gucci family'

 Today, there are no longer any members of the Gucci family working at this cult brand. The movie Gucci family deciphered the cause of the tragic collapse of the most powerful fashion empire in Italy.

As a movie in the genre of crime biographies, the Gucci Family (House of Gucci) is "formed" by Ridley Scott - the famous Oscar director, the father of the "super" series Alien, The Martian, Robin Hood ... The film converges famous names such as Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, Jared Leto, Jack Huston, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Irons ...

The Gucci family revolves around Patrizia Reggiani (Lady Gaga), a woman convicted of planning the assassination of her ex-husband, former president of the Gucci fashion house - Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver). However, before leading to that heartbreaking end, they were once passionate and immersed in a beautiful love story.


Patrizia comes from an ordinary background, without a degree, working for her father at a shipping company. In return, she has a charming appearance, is smart, confident and has a talent for speaking. Because of that, she was like a breath of fresh air, appearing and upsetting the life of Maurizio - a tasteless, rigid person and not interested in inheriting the Gucci family career.


With her own ambition, intrigue and ingenuity, Patrizia successfully persuaded her husband to plan together to regain shares of the company, dividing the family. Gucci gradually becomes a lucrative bait that many people want to tear apart. From there, the family tragedy began to erupt.


For the fashion world, Gucci is famous for its historicity, with the principle of family tradition. However, it is also a double-edged sword that leads to degradation and a series of scandals for a prestigious family.


The essence of the collapse of the Gucci empire was the struggle for power, material greed, lack of business knowledge, and a rut in creativity. No designer wants to work for Gucci because the company has become cheap, does not care to control the problem of plagiarism and counterfeiting.


As for President Maurizio, after a glorious night to help Gucci transform, he had to face the harsh reality: heavy debt, turned partners, colluding with foreign departments to acquire the company. It is often said that there is prosperity and there is decline, but the thinking that comes to Maurizio seems to be too hasty. On March 27, 1995, Maurizio Gucci was assassinated.


Europe is also the price for the man who betrayed and abandoned his wife - Patrizia, leaving her to be humiliated and miserable. In the end, before the judgment of 29 years in prison for arranging the murder of her ex-husband, "Black Widow" Patrizia still proudly held her head high: "Call me Patrizia Gucci".


It can be said that the Gucci Family is a work worth watching, meticulously invested in history, music, background, film color ..., suitable for audiences who like to learn about true anecdotes in the field. fashion sector. The film mixes many elements such as comedy, romance and drama.


Another thing that makes the audience equally excited is actress Salma Hayek - taking on the character of a Tarot reader (a form of divination). In real life, she is the wife of François-Henri Pinault, the president who owns many luxury fashion brands, including Gucci.


On the other hand, the pacing of The Gucci Family is quite slow at the beginning but is accelerated at the end. The film's length is relatively long, going into specific stages of Gucci's history, leading to rambling and lack of focus. At the same time, the film still has some discrete and unnecessary details. Many transitions are not smooth, lack content connection, thus hindering viewers in grasping the author's intentions.


The actors played their roles perfectly, clearly showing the character's personality. However, the way of dialogue somewhat abuses Italian intonation too much, causing some scenes to be exaggerated and less serious.
