Gabriel Sherman: 本片历时七年制作完成,旨在展现特朗普的成长历程及其与罗伊·科恩的关系,揭示其性格特征和政治影响。好莱坞主流公司因担心特朗普政府的报复而拒绝投资,最终影片由独立制作团队完成。影片中包含特朗普性侵前妻伊凡娜的场景,这一场景引发了投资方和制作团队之间的巨大争议,最终制作团队买回了电影发行权。编剧认为,这一场景是理解特朗普性格的关键,并相信伊凡娜在离婚证词中的陈述。特朗普多年来一直试图掩盖这一指控。影片并非简单的政治批判,而是试图通过人性化的视角展现特朗普的复杂性,包括其优点和缺点,以及在追求权力的过程中丧失人性。 Gabriel Sherman: 特朗普的性格在80年代后期基本定型,之后他只是变得更加脱离现实,其言行举止也越来越令人难以理解。共和党已经变成了特朗普的个人崇拜,其政策也完全围绕着特朗普的个人意志展开。特朗普从罗伊·科恩身上学习了如何运用权力,并将其运用到了全国舞台上。 Gabriel Sherman: 《学徒》这个节目对特朗普的成功至关重要,它塑造了公众对他的认知。特朗普的财富主要来源于《学徒》节目。长期认识特朗普的人对其评价较低,而他的支持者只了解他在电视节目中的形象。 Sami: 这部电影对特朗普的刻画非常成功,演员的表演也十分出色。电影中关于性侵的场景非常震撼,可能会让观众重新审视特朗普的行为。
