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.”

Last night, I saw a most remarkable movie: Nothing but a Man. It’s a 1964 microbudget indie that offers a whitewash-free look at the complexities of black life in the Deep South. It features, among others, Yaphet Kotto, Gloria Foster (Oracle from The Matrix), and jazz singer Abbey Lincoln. Its soundtrack was the first LP ever released by Motown. It is a wonder. #film
I recommend #robotdreams , a wonderful animated feature about a #dog and their #robot friend in 80s new york. Not a word is spoken, no kitsch, no fake nostalgia. A funny, moving take on friendships and how they change over time and sometimes make room for something new. #film#cinema
