There are worse ways to go
I have not seen the movie but it has been described to me as "a white person doing whiteface," which is surely something.
Looking it up, it's funny that Paolo (Leto's character) seems to have the least strong accent of them all though, lolI am shocked that is Leto. Kind of an amazing performance.
before the pitchforks come out you all should listen to some audio from the Gucci family at the time. It is not a perfect impression but it is fairly close.
Streaming is a big part of it.What movie *isn't* too long these days? I swear that there is some industry rule introduced last year that every movie has to be at least 2:30 in runtime.

Movie theaters are incentivized to have shorter movies, since they can have more shows per day and make more money, but streaming services care about hours of content and time in the app.
I fucking hate it.
I have a friend who work in the periphery of Hollywood, the boring, business side of things, and that was the first thing ever they told me about the business of moviemaking that made sense to me.
Same. I am in no way a fan of Leto but I understood every word in the above clip.Does the tweet in the OP supposed to mean something? I understood him fine. Maybe she needs a hearing test.
I agree, but I have the feeling that he probably believed that making little/no effort at an accent is better than speaking with a mangled accent. If I could, I wouldn't mind checking out his original takes to see if he had been struggling with it.After watching House of Gucci, which felt a half-hour too long, I wondered whose accents were coming across as good efforts to Italians.
Jeremy Irons was barely even trying.
lmao. Now you have me wanting to watch the movie again as if he is Wario speaking to Maurizio as if he's Mario.Really? Because I heard it described as "Wario" and that kinda sold me
I've heard people say that some of the accents are too outlandish but honestly I think they are pretty spot on when directly compared.
Ah I see you also know the difference between poopy and chocolateSaw House of Gucci yesterday. It was almost impressive, the way Leto would open his mouth and scenes would just turn to shit.

Yeah I think people posting that they can understand him are completely missing the very obvious point of what's wrong with his performance, let alone acting like it's somehow honouring Italy.He's not unintelligible that's true, he's talking like a fucking cartoon character.
I have a feeling that Jeremy Irons just didn't give a shit, because the whole idea is fucking ridiculous, and he's a 73 year old man who doesn't have to do that kind of minstrel bullshit to get a check. He didn't do that for Borgias either, because he's not playing Assassin's Creed.I agree, but I have the feeling that he probably believed that making little/no effort at an accent is better than speaking with a mangled accent.

We're in agreement then.I have a feeling that Jeremy Irons just didn't give a shit, because the whole idea is fucking ridiculous, and he's a 73 year old man who doesn't have to do that kind of minstrel bullshit to get a check.
