On The Eve Of The Election, ‘The Apprentice’ Producer Dan Bekerman Says Film Dismantles The Caricature Donald Trump Has Carefully Constructed – Guest Column
'The Apprentice' producer Dan Bekerman says his film dismantles Donald Trump's carefully designed image to allow viewers to make up their own minds.
Editor’s note: There has been no feature film this year more controversial than the Ali Abbasi-directed pic The Apprentice, which deconstructs the carefully designed character that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has created over decades. After their harrowing journey, Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion finally reach the Wizard’s castle, only to be confronted by a huge, terrifying green face: the All-Powerful Oz. While Trump is far from the only politician whose narratives are defined by his desire to win, the utter lack of self-reflection and human dimension in his stories jaundices our broader culture of storytelling and narrows our ability to connect with each other.
