Continuity mistake: When Patrizia paints her phone number on the scooter's windshield the numbers change between shots, check the 5 for example.
House of Gucci (2021)
Directed by: Ridley Scott
Starring: Salma Hayek, Jared Leto, Adam Driver
Continuity mistake: When Aldo and Rodolfo first meet, the hat on the table swaps between being on the sunny side or in the shadows, depending on the shot.
Factual error: Lady Gaga is painting her toenails listening to some music on her portable cassette player. It's 1978, and walkman-type players were introduced the year after. (00:11:00)
Patrizia Reggiani: Gucci needs new blood. It's time to take out the trash.
Maurizio Gucci: But they're my family.
Patrizia Reggiani: So am I.
Patrizia Reggiani: It was a name that sounded so sweet... Synonymous with wealth, style, power. But that name was a curse, too.
Patrizia Reggiani: I don't consider myself to be a particularly ethical person, but I am fair.
Question: Did the Guccis ever own a Klimt painting, were they not in the Netherlands until 1998? Were they not Nazi plunder?
Question: This may have been explored in the movie but a bit unsure... how come Gucci had to sell out? Was it financial difficulty?
Answer: Yes. Basically, within the narrative of the film, Maurizio is weak-willed and easily manipulated by Patrizia; he didn't even want to be involved in running Gucci in the first place and has no real business acumen. So, he both overextends the firm and spends a huge amount of money on an extravagant lifestyle, which leaves him in financial trouble and at the mercy of a hostile takeover.
