Yes, but did you see the POST-postcredit scene where Obama shows up in a kickass action scene? Idris Elba did a great job.

[@sand4273]

Sebastian Stan is actually unreal in this. He doesn’t really lean into being a caricature, which is great. Some of his lines are delivered really chillingly but still feel like Trump even if he doesn’t sound like him.

[@elizabethchester]

That's because he is acting exactly like Trump did in that era. You know why Strong feels more like modern-day Trump than Stan himself? Because Trump adopted his mannerisms and voice from the infamous Roy Cohn himself. Even in the film you can see Stan gradually transition into acting like the Trump that we are generally more familiar with. Stan isn't doing an SNL impression because he's actually trying to be era-accurate

[@gnarwhal7562]

Zach Hadel and Shane Gillis both have spot on impressions of Trump, sounding near identical, however, Sebastian Stan goes for a more subtle approach in this movie (and it works). People gotta remember that he's playing Trump in the 70s & 80s, NOT the Donald we know now. He sounded very subdued back then; (just look up his interview with Oprah for more context)

[@hbtwov8227]

he still doesn't sounds anything like trump from that era. and honestly without the hair or makeup he doesn't look a thing like him or capture his mannerisms

[@bradley4706]

It’s too early to do this film. 20 years and this would be a great film to make. Right now we are still living through this entire thing. So it’s just gonna be perceived as propaganda, for or against him it doesn’t matter. If it shows him in a good or a bad light people will call it propaganda.

[@Mr_Movie_Fan]

From what I heard, that was intentional. I don't remember if it was a producer or a director, but someone behind the scenes wanted the movie made and released so people who saw it wouldn't vote for Trump.

[@erykmelgaard2226]

​@@Mr_Movie_Fanif you wouldn't vote for someone based on a propaganda movie... that says how easy to brainwash you are. Vote for policies above everything else. Trump's presidency was much better than Biden's and Kamala is similar to Joe on economy and foreign policy. More of the same BS the world has enough of the last 4 years.

[@gleebybooer]

Just because it’s perceived a certain way doesn’t mean it’s true. I kinda hate how Trump has become Voldemort and we can’t have discussions about him. Do we have to wait until he dies to analyze him?

[@ExtraordinaryEntei]

Saw it last night - and it was jarring to see Stan as Trump at first, and it felt like I was watching more of Sebastian Stan than Donald Trump, but as the movie went on he just completely sunk into the character and nailed it all between the hands and the face and the cadence, all without sounding like a 1:1 impersonator -- Just outstanding work from Stan Also Jeremy Strong. Nothing else needed.

[@kaylasays]

Glad you enjoyed it Karsten!! This one was a surprise for me, definitely left the theater with a lasting impression like you did.

Roy Cohen is someone who is fascinated me for a long time. I honestly just wish they did an entire movie about him and had Trump as a side character.

He's someone who disrespects veterans, disrespects the peaceful transition of power, and only operates on a loyalty-based agenda. He lost my respect the moment he went down that golden escalator and generalized people as "murderers and rapists".

Saw it last night and I was very impressed. It puts a mirror up to American society and says “this is the kind of person your system creates”. And the last few scenes with Roy Cohn tells us “this is where this kind of person ends up”.

Jeremy Strong is one the best actors of his generation. Him and Jodie Comer give me hope for this generation.

[@srcreo]

1:55 didn't realize JSchlatt was going to make a cameo on this Karsten video

[@EvilSnips]

Jschlatt would've been an incredible Trump lmao

[@FrakkinToasterLuvva]

Gabriel Sherman is a journalist who is very against Trump and also wrote The Loudest Voice in the Room and the script for the miniseries The Loudest Voice, a scathing portrayal of Roger Ailes, so there didn't have to be any cast attached, or Ali Abbasi as director, for Snyder to be really dumb not to realize this was not going to lionise Trump.

[@jackcharlotte25]

I got way more curious about this movie when I actually looked into it and heard what it was actually about. Because isn't it kind of fascinating that Trump's whole playbook of denying reality until you can bend it to your will, something that has now affected our whole culture on an unprecedented scale...isn't it kind of fascinating he first learned that from a closeted gay man of a certain time and place?

[@petermj1098]

Roy was a businessman and didn’t take his work personally. ​​⁠ Roy made Joseph McCarthy the face voice and the name of Anti-communism. Roy made Donald Trump the face voice and the name of yuppie culture.

[@dyscotopia]

While it sure doesn't seem like Trump is a big church goer, when he was young his pastor was Norman Vincent Peale who some might know for writing a book called the Power of Positive Thinking. While Trump was never much of a reader he did take away from that that it was more important to success to believe what you want to be true than any pesky "negative" facts

[@cameron4337]

The Dan snyder producer was the owner of the Washington redacted franchise. He was a terrible owner

[@Christopher-xn6rb]

Putting politics aside, Jeremy Strong as Roy Cohn was was an impressive performance 👍

[@larrycarls7221]

I loved the scene where trump says "what Am I, some kind of apprentice"

[@robbriner9575]

Yesterday I drove about ten miles away, to a cineplex to see the just released movie The Apprentice (about Trump in the 1970s and 80s). At the 4pm screening I was one of nine people in the audience, and my review is: Since I unfortunately started paying attention to Donald Trump when he descended his “golden” escalator at the Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 to begin his first political campaign - almost ten years ago - nothing in this movie was new to me but as a biography it hit ALL the notes about him in the 1970s and 80s. This movie was well written (100% plausible dialog and situations), superbly acted and produced, and when it ended after two hours I felt dirty and in need of a hot shower.

[@SonGoku-tp8gb]

That Raegan movie caught my interest. It's got decent reviews by the audience. But I don't know anyone that's seen it lmao Edit: I must disagree at 4:00 because I would gladly watch a full length feature film with Gillis as Trump 🤣

[@webbe8292]

That's why it has decent reviews, it was almost exclusively seen by those who knew they would like it.

[@moviemanmatlock]

You know Bo Burnham once said that Trump is his own self satire, he is his own exaggeration. So I think any movie that portrays him should portray him as cold or boring is an appropriate dramatisation/portrayal/if I say anything else I'll be shot.

[@justinfranklin6586]

Felt like the filter thing from film to digital was also about the actual era of time being shown in those sections. I think they tried to make the movie have a documentary-esque feel, so they were using the look from the era (as it changes from 70s to 80s) as though this was maybe footage someone discovered

[@sarah-bu8yj]

the segue to the sponsorship was so good

[@jackdriscoll8387]

the marketing campaign for this seemed to be interested in humanizing trump, and they do that very very occasionally, maybe 5 times in passing moments, a lot of it was speculative and i was disappointed. jeremy strong is the modern day phillip seymour hoffman

[@americanpancakelive]

A perfect film because it not only depicts a system that allow people like Trump to thrive but it holds up a mirror to all of us for participating in his and other morally bankrupt influencers 'success' and power. We have to absorb some of the blame. And if this film helps put the final nail in Donald Trump's coffin (even though JD Vance has already done that) I wish it wins an Oscar.

[@izsvemira]

It is ironic that in the world where we, "the sophisiticated" audiences, blast filmmakers who design their characters as one dimensional, it is precisely we who don't make the single effort to see the full 3D image of real life people we disagree with. We fall into the traps of creating villains, as we judge filmmakers who do it. From a writers perspective, though I understand we are not writers, we don't pass judgement on our characters. We don't paint them as good or bad, and, in fact, go as far as we possibly can to, as Aaron Sorkin says, make their plea to god as to why they should be allowed into heaven. It is us who have painted Trump as a one-dimensional villain, with zero interest in understanding him in detail, so perfectly summed up in that gloriously apt "Orange Man Bad"

[@LucasTgod]

This doesn’t work, I’m so sorry. Sebastian looks ridiculous and it doesn’t look like Trump

_Vice_ IMO is a throwback to middlebrow prestige movies from 2007 that tried to "speak out" about current events but demonstrated no real understanding of the issues at hand and thus had nothing to say (in addition to arriving long after public opinion had shifted). I think it also exposed the degree to which Adam McKay thinks the audience is just that stupid and that everything is _our_ fault that began with _The Big Short_ and fully blossomed in _Don't Look Up._
