The Apprentice: A Really Sinister Trump-Related Buddy Film

As "The Apprentice Lookmovie2" begins, we find ourselves in the early 1970s, where a young Donald Trump is seen at a fashionable restaurant, caught in the eye of lawyer and fixer Roy Cohn. For reasons that remain ambiguous and largely unexplained, Cohn chooses to mentor Trump, who then takes on the role of "the apprentice." This scene unfolds within the first ten minutes of the film. Directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi, the movie explores a significant period in Trump's life, spanning approximately 15 years from 1972 to 1987. For those who have been attentive to American politics over the past nine years, this narrative resonates, especially recalling the moment Trump descended the escalator in Trump Tower to declare his presidential candidacy.
