Although “The Apprentice” is a very skilled film, its essence is more akin to an outdated television drama, despite its explosive presentation.
Being a cultural sensation film, The Apprentice that caused a lot of controversy, it was likely always going to be a storm in a teacup. However, something truly catastrophic happened in relation to that afterwards.
The Apprentice- More About The Movie
The film, despite creating some excitement at Cannes, was unable to secure a distributor. Nobody wants to get near it. Due of a sexual assault scene in the movie, the Trump campaign threatened to sue it.
There were repercussions from this. It was more than just the possibility of legal action against the movie, The Apprentice, though. It was already starting to become increasingly likely that Trump will be the next president back in May and June.
The distributors feared being implicated again. What if Trump were to win the presidency? How could he treat them?
It was quite a terrifying sight to witness this occurrence. I didn’t particularly enjoy “The Apprentice,” so I don’t have much invested in it.
However, following all the nonsense and intimidation I have ever experienced in the film business.
Of course, the story of The Apprentice had a “happy ending.” At last, the film was acquired by Briarcliff Entertainment, the avant-garde business started by the well-known Tom Ortenberg. Movie debuted on 1,740 screens this past weekend, which was a heroic attempt, but movie still tanked, taking in a meagre $1.58 million.
Sebastian Stan’s portrayal of Trump is, to put it mildly, remarkably excellent and occasionally uncanny. He has Trump’s airy charisma and stiff body language from his slick, suave, and gorgeous days—enough to draw comparisons to Robert Redford.
With his murderous eyes, his machine-gun mouth, and his way of breathing power, Jeremy Strong’s portrayal of Cohn is the most captivating aspect of the film.
The purpose of the movie is to examine how Donald Trump developed his vicious ways. Even though the Trump the movie portrays is dishonest and betrayed, nothing he does can compare to the threat he offers with each promise to extend his reign of chaos and denial of the results.
