As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for delving deep into narratives that challenge and provoke, I find myself drawn to “The Apprentice”. The prospect of experiencing Donald Trump’s formative years through Sebastian Stan‘s portrayal is intriguing, if not slightly daunting.
It’s likely assumed that Sebastian Stan was advised against playing the contentious character Donald Trump on The Apprentice, but one studio head took this warning a step further by offering additional caution.
Prior to the movie’s premiere in cinemas today, the actor disclosed during an interview with The New York Times, that he had discussed his decision to play the role with family and friends, and mentioned their reactions. He also spoke about having conversations before finally accepting the part.
Stan commented, ‘I believe my mom mentioned something about shaving,’ but upon asking several individuals about it, a studio CEO advised against it as it could potentially upset half the nation. A highly respected casting director also shared their concerns, stating, ‘We don’t need another Trump film; you won’t receive any accolades for it.’ However, contrary to that advice, Stan has already started receiving Oscar buzz for portraying the former president and current Republican presidential nominee.
The actor from “A Different Man” disclosed that folks inquired whether he would be concerned about his safety once the movie was out. However, each time someone cautioned him against it, it seemed to fuel his desire to go ahead even more, as he openly confessed.
The show, “The Apprentice,” depicts a young Donald Trump in 1970s New York, striving to establish his reputation as a notable figure despite being the second son of a wealthy family. It was during this time that he encountered ruthless attorney Roy Cohn, who perceived him as an ideal protege, willing to go to any lengths to emerge victorious, as suggested in the description.
Director Ali Abbasi suggests that the movie may be open to multiple interpretations. One perspective is viewing it as a tale of a man transforming into a monster, while another viewpoint could see it as a human tragedy, had the characters not been so fixated on triumph and acquisition.
Jeremy Strong, the actor playing Cohn on The Apprentice, stated that the movie should be essential viewing for any conscious creatures concerned about current U.S. events prior to the upcoming presidential election, as he expressed to the Times.
The Emmy-winning star of Succession believes it provides crucial understanding, potentially making a significant impact. In our current climate filled with talk of hostility and discord, they feel that art and cinema hold relevance and importance.
Stan observed that individuals seem “eager for solutions and direction” and desire clear-cut instructions on their emotions and what is appropriate or inappropriate.
“This whole discomfort with the film only reflects why it’s important: It isn’t just what you’re learning about Trump, it’s also what you’re learning about yourself from Trump,” he said. “I worry that we’re not going deeper anymore with how we approach things. We’re just reading Wikipedia pages. If that’s what you’re going to do, then you’ll just float among the rest of the ghosts of Christmas past. But the rest of us, at least, are going to try and get to the bottom of some things.”
