The world the haves live in is extravagant; however, how many of us know the real them behind the extravagance? They are human, they are the same as us, only they have a lot more wealth than us that we think they must be very happy, lucky, blissful, and content. Is anyone able to imagine that they would have much more worries, woes, regrets, repents, and misery than have-nots do?

Gucci – a film inspired by a true story – hits the big screen starting with a lover’s wild romance mesmerizing us followed by a bunch of brutal human natures exposed to us with excessive greed, power, and fight. Imaginably, the film should take sides with the wealthy to tell us how noble and unapproachable they are; however, it tells us the opposite as well, and in an even relentless and blatant way. Two protagonists perform superbly, and many will be like me being captivated by the male protagonist with his extraordinary welcoming smile. Besides the smile, you can find him appearing to be a very decent, humble, educated, and pure man when you might think a wealthy man should be brasher, a lot more aggressive and complicated when he was born of a famous family – Gucci.

Lady Gaga plays the role of Patrizia Reggiani and performs at her best. In the movie, she falls in love with Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver), and, both at the outset and all the way she doesn’t mind letting him know she is falling in love with him by allowing herself to behave the most exuberant with him in the area of sex. The several sex scenes in the movie are all initiated by her making Maurizio cannot but insanely fall in love with her too. Without much real understanding of Patrizia’s character, Maurizio adamantly marries her quickly despite the strong rejection of his father.

Patrizia is a very aggressive woman with strategy, only Maurizio first found her innocent, honest, and simple, not knowing these are only her surface. Not until later she ambitiously takes part in the family business and has evilly rendered his uncle and his uncle’s son imprisoned can Maurizio be able to wake up to know she is not the one he first met. The story doesn’t end here, the unsolvable conflict between this once lovely couple is only the beginning of the path of the tragedy of the story. When Maurizio first found Patrizia simple, he honestly and truly loved her and loved her alone. Nevertheless, when later he gradually finds her becoming a perverse person, he cannot but abandon her and has had an affair. In one scene of Patrizia begging for Maurizio’s love to come back to her, Maurizio bluntly tells her he doesn’t love her anymore, adding he doesn’t hate her either, clearly saying to her that their marriage has already ended. Maurizio fails to correctly speculate what he has said and done will make Patrizia pave a dead road for him. Thrillingly, she employs killers to murder him without mercy. Years later, she is arrested and sentenced to twenty-nine years.

The above is not only a tragedy but also an epiphany that affords us a valuable lesson. First, sex initiated by a woman can be so crazy that it definitely will bewilder a man rendering him not rational enough to be strong in the judgment of a woman with his immense eagerness to possess her body. Secondly, power can corrupt a person’s integrity, conscience, and mainly consciousness. Thirdly, different sexes should have their innate responsibility to fulfill, women are better to be chaste, mild, submissive, content with their lots, and the least aggressive and ambitious.
