It was Ridley’s fault that he couldn’t decide if he wanted the movie to be campy like Jared or serious like Gaga. Yeah ‘cause Gaga wasn’t campy at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, but I don’t think she should be used in the context of this film as a counter-example to campiness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still feel Jared deviated from the central tone of the movie too much, and Adam, Al and Gaga were much more respectful of it. I'm always ready to defend Jared but I couldn't for his performance in Gucci. There were some comedic moments in Gaga and Salma's scenes but Jared single-handedly took it to a whole other level which was most responsible for the inconsistency of the film.

It was Jared who was responsible for 80% of the comedy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you pointing out the fact that the writer is very inexperienced like two years ago and you were right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember you pointing out the fact that the writer is very inexperienced like two years ago and you were right I'm surprised anyone remembers that. Yes, I took a look at his imdb and he didn't have many writing credits. I guess House of Gucci was his practice then. We're his lab rats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Gaga's performance leaned more heavily towards the serious, dramatic side. Besides, the overall tone of the script is much determined by the writer, and if they'd written something campy, then no matter how much Gaga tried, it was going to sound a little funny. My point was that Gaga tried her best to make it a serious drama and Jared less so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 "I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion." "Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people...the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life...they are mean and they want to kill you." "I've always known that I was made to live this way, that I would be this sort of legend." “You’ve got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying that thin models are ugly. The world of beautiful clothing is about ‘dreams and illusions.’” “The hole in social security, it’s also [due to] all the diseases caught by people who are too fat,” On Pippa Middleton in the days following Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding, he said, “I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back.” Lagerfeld was also a vocal critic of the #MeToo movement. “If you don’t want your pants pulled about, don’t become a model! Join a nunnery, there’ll always be a place for you in the convent,” “I’m fed up with it,” he added. “What shocks me most in all of this are the starlets who have taken 20 years to remember what happened. Not to mention the fact there are no prosecution witnesses.” “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.” Some Karl quotes for yall Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
