Jared Leto’s character Paolo is the black sheep of House of Gucci's titular family, an heir to the dynasty whose characterization is almost heartbreaking when considering he truly believes in his fashion talents and optimism while surrounded by cut-throat mercenaries. Related: House Of Gucci Ending & Real Meaning Explained House of Gucci is crafted as a fun time with its seriousness less prioritized, and its comparisons to The Godfather are what proves it to be in on its own joke.

THE GODFATHER 2 EXPLAINED MOVIE
The campy nature of House of Gucci has been both praised and criticized, with many divided on whether it’s too campy to accomplish its conflicts or not campy enough to earn its stature as “ fun.” It’s extremely difficult to understand Ridley Scott's House of Gucci being interpreted straight, with nearly every aspect of the movie geared at outrageousness and ridiculous portraits of a Godfather-esque dynastic family. While the film tries to find a proper balance in its campiness, one scene in particular proves it’s exactly where it needs to be. Based on the true story of the Gucci family dynasty, House of Gucci stars Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Al Pacino, and Jared Leto in some of the most outrageous dramatic and comedic performances in recent cinema. The performances of the actors have been highly praised, particularly with Lady Gaga as Patrizia, Adam Driver as Maurizio, and Al Pacino hamming it up as Aldo Gucci.
