The Apprentice

it’s good as a movie but such propaganda

Rewatched this to prepare for what is going to be the worst four years of our lives. Trump’s 2nd term will be a nightmare and this film is a great villain origin story. Sebastian Stan deserves an Oscar for playing this sociopathic, tyrant

Wow, they really went there with this one… I honestly wanted to watch this just for Jeremy Strong’s performance since I miss Succession so much... Not only was he amazing but the whole movie was brilliantly done - really toes the line between highlighting what people admire and hate about Trump (in an ultimately brutal portrayal 😳). Fascinating to learn more about Roy Cohn after watching too.

i fucking despise and wish bad things upon Trump, but this movie was fascinating. learning about the history of corruption from the start, luck, idiocy, and most importantly showing that bit of humanity hidden in all the greed & cruelty. still not an excuse though. fuck that guy.

8.1/10

I loved the retro aesthetic of the filming. Amazing job by Sebastian and Jeremy both, but specifically the way Sebastian plays Trump, makes him into a really good character rather than just an exaggerated impersonation.

the things I watch for Sebastian Stan...
