Finding Gucci in a movie theater
On Nov. 29, I went to one of my favorite movie theaters in Charlottesville at the downtown mall area:the Violet Crown. Violet Crown surely fits the expectations it holds from their reviews. Even their concession stand holds up to scrutiny, from sodas, candies, hot dogs, pretzels, pizzas, coffee, espresso, and tea. The meals and drinks do not go higher than $12 and no lower than $3. For moviegoers who are over 21, they have a nice IPA ($9) and an amazing La Marca prosecco ($9 per glass or $34 for the bottle). The menu is available on their website.
House of Gucci tells the story of an Italian woman named Patrizia Reggiani who was an outsider that started from humble beginnings. Then she marries into the well known family, Gucci family. Patrizia has unbridled ambition which begins to unravel the family legacy and triggers a reckless spiral of betrayal, decadence, revenge, and ultimately murder. Overall this movie has become a favorite because every single scene puts the viewer at the edge of their seat. The movie has so much drama, passion, and emotions for each character and scene that has been laid out for this movie. Lady Gaga (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) really gives her character Patrizia Reggiani life and drama. The amount of emotion that Stefani gives to the person who she is portraying is perfect. She truly knows how to get viewers to feel the emotion of the characters.
My review is simple, the whole place just keeps on getting better every time, from the amazing food and drinks to an amazing atmosphere. The experience of wining and dining while laying back in a reclining comfy chair is my favorite part. Also the staff was very kind, so warm when greeting patrons, and did an amazing job of keeping the place clean. They truly never disappoint and make it a pleasure to come while never wanting to leave.
Overall, the Violet Crown movie theater has brought true elegance to a simple movie experience, from the amazing food to the drinks and the reclining chairs. You could not ask for more in ways of experience in the movies nowadays. It is truly a place that I recommend to go and enjoy what they have to offer. The tickets are $11. House of Gucci is rated R.
