@GutterPoetry

it's on my to-watch list

i haven't seen it yet because everything presented i already knew about #trump: us from the #newYorkCity area of a certain age always knew trump was a piece of shit. and we've watched horrified as the tv "reality" series "#theApprentice" conned millions of gullible americans into thinking trump was a business genius

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Appr

most of the sane world hates trump now

us from #nyc, we hated trump already in the 1980s as a #racist con man

When Trump ran for president, he did so on the premise…that a fictional character with fictional wealth who ignores law, despises institutions, and lacks sympathy can govern people by causing pain.

Russia’s “boy” existed in the American mind thanks to a popular American television program, The Apprentice… The role came naturally to him, perhaps because pretending to be such a person was already his day job. On the show, the world was a ruthless oligarchy, where an individual’s future depended upon the capricious whims of a single man.
—Timothy Snyder, The Road To Unfreedom (2018)

Arjun Singh interviews Gabriel Sherman, screenwriter of #TheApprentice and they discuss Hollywood takeover by bankers, making producers and distributors much more conservative. Many insights, including Sherman’s interviews with the title subject over the years. Interesting, they discuss it as a horror film. BTW, I ordered a copy at Scarecrow, and it’s only available in DVD, not Blu Ray, nor 4H ultra or whatever format. Really pathetic. Audio + transcript in link

Amy Goodman’s interviews with director Ali Abbasi piqued my curiosity; I rented The Apprentice from #ScarecrowVideo here in Seattle last week; it exceeded my expectations. Who knew Roy Cohn could end up the moral center of 1980’s NYC except as portrayed by Jeremy Strong? Sebastian Stans’s performance is brilliant. Other actors are very strong. Details: marquee title lights flicker as from neglect. Fake zirconia. Taking a powder.

Rotten TomatoesThe Apprentice | Rotten TomatoesA young Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan), eager to make his name as a hungry second son of a wealthy family in 1970s New York, comes under the spell of Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the cutthroat attorney who would help create the Donald Trump we know today. Cohn sees in Trump the perfect protégé -- someone with raw ambition, a hunger for success, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win.
