The Apprentice

"You create your own reality. Truth is a malleable thing."

A brief glance through young Donald Trump's turbulent life before he dives into politics.

The ambitious and stubborn Donald sacrifices everything in order to pursue his big dreams.

Donald’s image consists of strong personality characteristics. He appears to be emotionally distancing, impulsive and intense. His relationship with women and his family is complicated. He appears to be extremely controlling sometimes abusive and could easily characterised as a misogynist.

His mentor, the well-known lawyer Roy Cohn (served as chief counsel on the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations headed by Joseph McCarthy) leads the way to a corrupted path implementing cutthroat technics. Everything is allowed when it comes to climbing the social ladder and making money. For Roy and Trump there are no restrictions, the law is a man-made construction to control the masses and the least privileged.

Their holy business bible contains only three commandments that they have to follow in order to suceed;

#1 Attack, attack, attack.

#2 Admit nothing, deny everything.

#3 Always claim victory, never admit defeat.

In Donald’s and Roy’s bubble they are always right, never wrong. They can only be winners and never losers. Their alliance rests upon promoting fear, blackmailing and lying. They try to gain power and then manipulate everyone, even the authorities, to make things work always in their favour.

However soon they have to be confronted with the distance they set from whom they really are. Their fabricated and fraudulent reality crushes with the mortality that all people are humblingly dragging along. From there on a series of events reveals everyone’s secret intentions and exposes their value system, ethos.

Overall

This intense biography film examines the social circumstances and the personal traits that create and encouraging immoral and deeply antisocial behavioural patterns.
