Kan Donald Trump virkelig filme som en bænk i biografen? Find ud af hvorfor 'The Apprentice' er den mest omdiskuterede film i år!
Filmen 'The Apprentice' rammer biograferne midt i et stormvejr af kontroverser, hvor Trumps egen kampagne kalder den "skrald". Denne biografiske film har allerede vakt stor opmærksomhed og debat, ikke kun for sin skildring af tidligere præsident Donald Trump, men også for den tidlige karriere, den udforsker. Med Sebastian Stan i rollen som Trump og Jeremy Strong som hans mentor, Roy Cohn, byder filmen på en dybdegående indsigt i, hvordan Trump blev den kontroversielle figur, vi kender i dag. Kritikerne er delt, hvor nogle mener, at filmen er en værdifuld kritik af den amerikanske drøm, mens andre simpelthen afviser den som propaganda.
Allerede før filmen havde premiere, skabte den overskrifter takket være Ali Abbasi, der står bag instruktørstolen, og manuskriptforfatter Gabe Sherman, som diskuterer rejse og udfordringer ved at filme en så polariserende personlighed. I takt med at flere seere har set filmen, har udtalelser fra både tilhængere og modstandere accelereret. En SFGATE-spaltist, der erklærede sin aversion mod Trump, svømmede henført over de Oscar-værdige præstationer i filmen og kaldte den for "en amerikansk gyserhistorie" – noget der snildt kan få både fans og modstandere til at spidse ører.
Filmen byder på ægte sjokmomenter, hvor Trumps tidlige år i forretningsverdenen og hans forhold til Cohn udforskes. Ifølge Tony Schwartz, Trumps tidligere ghostwriter, rammer filmen "de fleste ting rigtig" og fremhæver, at Trump grundlæggende er den samme som i sin barndom, en kendsgerning, der kan få selv det mest loyale publikum til at klø sig i hovedet. Fra Cohns skyggefulde metoder til Trumps dristige forretningsstrategier, opfordrer filmens skildring til en dybere refleksion over magtens dynamik i Amerika.
Men hvad skal man så se efter, når man dykker ned i 'The Apprentice'? For det første er det spændende at bemærke den måde, filmen illustrerer mentor-mentee-dynamikken mellem Trump og Roy Cohn, en uhyggelig figur fra McCarthy-æraen. Det er en påmindelse om, hvordan forbindelser fra fortiden ofte kaster lange skygger over nutiden. Yderligere, ifølge Abduls udvikling af karaktererne, er der et underliggende spørgsmål om moral og etik mennesket imellem.
Som en ekstra sjov faktum er det værd at nævne, at filmen ikke kun har vakt interesse blandt politikere og kritikere, men også hos almindelige biografgængere, som nu finder sig selv at diskutere de åbenbaringer og vendinger, der kommer i filmen. Uanset hvad man mener om Trump, ser det ud til, at 'The Apprentice' er blevet en kulturel begivenhed, som mange vil huske.
