Controversial #Trump movie ‘The Apprentice’ depicts him as #rapist
[probably because he is one]
A movie called “The Apprentice” about a young Donald Trump’s rise to power premiered Mon evening at the #Cannes Film Festival, the #film stars Sebastian Stan as Trump & Jeremy Strong, who plays the ruthless lawyer & political fixer Roy Cohn.
“By & large, it is a very dark & chilling origin story.”
As they were making the #film, director #AliAbbasi said he had many people question why he would choose #Trump as his subject matter….
“…there is no nice metaphorical way to deal w/the rising wave of #fascism,” he said. “There’s only the messy way … the way of dealing w/this … on its own terms, on its own level … good people have been quiet for too long … it’s time to make #movies relevant. It’s time to make movies #political again.”
Castle In The Sky was so awesome in theater. Try to catch it if you can.
Before the movie they are showing a short ad for the #Ghibli theme park in Japan. I've noticed that it is slightly different each time, tailored to focus a little on the attractions related to the #film you are about to see. Attention to detail!
