Seeing Ali Abbasi's amazing movie "The Apprentice" leaves you with a feeling of anxiety
How can someone be so empty of feeling and morality, and more importantly how can someone like that be voted by millions of people to rule a country. Ali Abbasi explores all of these facets in a highly stylistic and captivating portrait of a man that had it all, and craves for more.The Apprentice follows Donald Trump in a specific era of his career, from the beginning and into the madness that spiraled into his huge successes in the 90s and especially his relationship to his lawyer, Roy Cohn.First of all I gotta say this movie is GORGEOUS, it has style, the vintage grainy feel of the 80s/90s is replicated in such a beautiful way it makes every single frame filled with details and colors that pop. The feel of the era was definitely made with care, and the music as well with some well-chosen great tracks that accompany the scenes.
The movie never feels dead, it’s always moving forward
The comparisons to movies like Wall Street etc is super apparent but Ali manages to make it his own. It’s a portrait that is highly not glamorous and super anxiety inducing because it truly is appalling how someone can even be like that.The acting is phenomenal and supreme, especially Sebastian Stan that delivers a frightening performance- this really is the Trump that we've seen on tv.If there's one negative thing that I can think of this movie is that perhaps it doesn't explore many of the film's relationships in a deeper way. Some of the characters in the movie feel a bit cut off from the narrative, this doesn’t deter from how great the movie is though.Go watch it!.
