Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
X-ray of Donald Trump
The film is, above all, a very interesting biopic that is not afraid to delve into the dark side of its protagonist. Today everyone knows Donald Trump. And the first thing that catches your eye is the cruel characterization Sebastian Stanwho plays a magnificent and accurate role, copying the gestures and mannerisms of the real character.
But the past life of the former president, his first steps towards becoming a great tycoon, are not in the public domain. It should be noted in this regard that Studentwhich takes the name of the program that trump presented on NBC from 2004 to 2015 and making him one of the most famous people in the country, it is created especially for the American public and for those with a special interest in the North American nation.
The dance of names and personalities from the world of politics and economics is constant. Parties, meetings in bars, meetings in offices… The parade of characters is constant. This doesn’t hinder the experience at all, since you don’t necessarily need to know who they are. The tape is smooth enough to convey the necessary information without being overwhelming. But it is obvious that those who are more knowledgeable in this world have much more fun. Student.
Be that as it may, the most interesting thing in the film is to see how this entire underworld, full of criminal conspiracies, obscene amounts of money and reprehensible agreements, little by little formed Donald Trump. Role strong How Roy Cohn This is a sensation. Student It has a lot to do with this character and his look down on life without any morals. His scenes always make the film better.
The film’s constant desire is to draw parallels with the current presidential candidate. His three “great rules,” among which “never admit defeat” stands out, are a perfect example. Student He presents, with little subtlety, the characteristics that can now be discerned in the controversial personality trump. The film deconstructs it and shows in detail where it all comes from.
History with rhythm
In addition to the external interest caused by the main character, Student This is more than a proper biopic. It follows the classic norms of the genre and offers a rather rich world for Continuity“which explains how and why trump moved forward as he did. The characters that surround him are from the above Con until Ivana Trump from Maria Bakalovacomplement and enhance the story of a man who boasts that he is a self-made man, even though the film proves otherwise.
On a narrative level Student Always keep the pace fast and pleasant enough to avoid boredom or loss of attention. Every now and then a scene or dialogue appears that can be used to reconnect with the viewer. At the heart of it all, especially in its magnificent first hour, is the relationship between trump And Con. The constant repetition of one thing and another is what always keeps the film at a good level, which in any case turns out to be too conformist.
Lack of claw
When you’re done Studentit feels like you’ve seen a good movie, but it opens the door to something more adventurous. The script is correct, but the character seems Donald Trump perhaps it called for sharper, more electric writing. The film is dedicated to launching some very subtle but often superficial barbs. So he stays in a sort of Aaron Sorkin something decaffeinated.
It doesn’t help that the direction and style Abbasi like this one in a corset. The director does not give himself the freedom to find new ways and resources to support what he is telling. It doesn’t have any strong stylistic allegiance beyond its seventies signature. In this regard, Student It also took a little more risk to go from an okay movie to a standout work. It’s not a failure by any means and has some brilliant scenes. But it falls one step below the level of perfection that seemed intuitively built into its premise.
