Exploring Donald Trump's Multiverse: A Seedy World of Alternate Universes and Movies
Imagine a world where Donald Trump has a starring role in iconic movies ranging from classic thrillers to historical epics. Drawing on the rich tapestry of film history, this article explores which fictional movies would benefit from a trump-like actor and the unique twists the plot could take.
Ichabod Crane vs. Trump in Sleepy Hollow
A recent President Donald Trump Show episode featured a funny sketch where the character of Ichabod Crane from Sleepy Hollow was portrayed as Trump. This fictional casting piques the imagination, imagining a new incarnation of the classic antagonist, a villainous figure facing his enemies, eventually crucified.
Mars Attacks and Norbit: A Troublemaker's Tale
If you're looking for a blast of comedic overkill, scenes from Mars Attacks! and Norbit might be perfect. Thanks to an actor's ability to portray multiple characters, these films could get even more chaotic with added Trump-like personalities.
For instance, in Norbit, where a silly romantic-thriller falls into a farcical disaster zone, imagine how a character like J.P. Valkenheiser, played by Trump, could heighten the film's absurdity, especially in a famous hot dog eating scene. Imagine a Trumpified version of this character, a bumbling leader who constantly tries to outdo himself and often fails spectacularly.
The Covenant: An All-Boy Ripoff in Speedos
The Covenant, a 2006 production, is a dark psychodrama involving a coven of girls. The idea of a muscular Trump in Speedos, with surly shirtless male characters who indulge in these costumes, might sound more horrifying than the film itself. Such a casting could turn an already creepy horror movie into an absolute nightmare.
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Donald Trump: A Martial Arts Dancer
Consider a reinterpretation of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, where the martial arts scene is raised to new heights. Imagine Mr. Trump, given his obvious lack of physical prowess, would somehow manage to dance around with supernatural powers, costumes, and awe-inspiring feats. The sheer spectacle of it would be both entertaining and ridiculous.
Twelve Angry Men: Deliberation and Diversity
While Miracle Mile offers a satirical take on the chaos that might ensue, Twelve Angry Men provides a more serious twist. In a retelling, each of the jurors would embody one of Trump's political supporters or detractors, leading to intense and varied debates. This could turn an already pivotal film into a hyperbolic commentary on the political climate.
The Sunset Limited: A Philosophical Tale
The Sunset Limited would be a fitting choice for yet another reimagining. Imagine the character of Mr. Black (the seeker of death) and Mr. White (the seeker of redemption) being portrayed by two very different kinds of Trump - one who is grim and relentless in his pursuit, the other who is convinced of a purely black and white existence. This could offer a fresh perspective on the star-crossed dialogue between the two characters.
Biblical Pageant: A Political Drama
Setting Miracle Mile against a Biblical backdrop, the principles of heroes and villains, heroines, can be used to critique the current political environment. Imagine the Roman Legions as part of a crusade, all taking off their helmets and transforming into political actors—triumphing in spectacle, comb-overs, and grand gestures. The added political subtext would make the film both entertaining and thought-provoking.
Conclusion: A Potentially Silly Nomination
While it's easy to dismiss these ideas, they could provide a fresh perspective on classic and contemporary films. The reference to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest could be a fitting title for such a silly venture, with a protagonist perhaps as glib and unpredictable as Trump. It's the kind of project that might send viewers into fits of laughter and provide a critique of the contemporary political climate through the medium of satire and parody.
