Hollywood's Take on Trump: Comedy, Drama, or Both?

When Hollywood decides to make a movie on Donald Trump, the genre and tone are likely to be heavily debated. Will it be a comedy, drama, or a blend of both? The outcome depends largely on the director's vision and the political perspective of the production company.

Comedy vs. Drama: Who Decides?

Whether a future movie about the Trump presidency is more comedic or dramatic largely depends on the political leanings of the producer and director. A RIGHT WING company would undoubtedly portray Trump in a positive light, depicting him as literate, compassionate, and unfairly targeted by the media. In contrast, a LEFT WING company would highlight Trump's controversial actions and failed policies, possibly showing him in an unflattering light.

LEFT WING Perspective

According to the LEFT perspective, a movie could feature Alex Baldwin as The Donald, with a LORNE MICHAELS production. This perspective would highlight Trump's lack of attention to detail, constant eating of burgers, and time spent in tanning beds. Additionally, OTHER LEFT WING directors and producers would emphasize his unethical behavior, such as pushing foreign leaders to get their photos taken, tweeting with bad grammar, and watching FOX AND FRIENDS.

RIGHT WING Perspective

A RIGH-WING company would likely present Trump positively, showing him as a victim of FAKE NEWS and portraying his second term as a fair and successful one. This perspective would downplay or ignore his problematic actions and policies.

Director's Vision

The genre and tone of the movie can also be influenced by the director's vision. Here are some notable directors and their potential approaches:

Martin Scorsese

Giving the task to Martin Scorsese would result in a movie combining funny and tragic elements. Following the style of his film The Wolf of Wall Street, which was both funny and tragic, Scorsese could explore the 90s financial landscape and how it created a figure like Jordan Belfort. Additionally, a "Taxi Driver" style film could depict Trump's rise to power and his presidency.

Barry Levinson

Barry Levinson would bring a beautifully crafted and insightful film like his "The Wizard of Lies". This film, which focused on a man with no empathy, would explore the real impact of Trump's actions on his family, friends, and the overall economy. The film would highlight the petition he made to Biden for a pardon.

Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone offers a unique perspective, having directed films such as JFK, Nixon, and Wall Street. His approach would be empathetic yet critical, focusing on the lies, conspiracy theories, and time elements surrounding Trump's presidency. Stone could also expose the specific circumstances and the steps that led to these events, allowing viewers to draw their own conclusions.

Alexander Payne

Alexander Payne would bring a deep, light-satirical approach. Starting from Trump's debate with Hillary Clinton to the present day, his film would explore the political landscape, loyalty pledges, and family ties.

Steven Soderbergh

Steven Soderbergh would tackle the story from multiple angles, creating a tragic and/or comedic take. His films such as Contagion and Traffic show that he has the range and talent to deliver a powerful and engaging narrative about Trump.

Mike Judge

For a comedy, the Mike Judge approach would be hilarious and relatable. With his background in Office Space and Idiocracy, Judge could capture the essence of Trump's presidency, and viewers would both laugh and be disappointed by the portrayal.

Legendary Directors: Three from the Dead

If we could bring three legendary directors from the past, the choices would be:

Robert Rosen

Robert Rosen would redo "All The King's Men", with Trump as the main character. The film would recreate the story with Trump as Willie Stark, and if James Gandolfini were still alive, he would be a fitting choice for the role.

Robert Altman

Robert Altman is known for his ensemble casts in films like MASH and The Player. His movie would focus on multiple perspectives within the Trump administration, along with the surrounding political and social context, providing a complex and engaging narrative.

Alan J. Pakula

Alan J. Pakula would bring his knack for creating intense and realistic films, such as Presumed Innocent and All The President's Men. His film would delve into the intricacies of the presidency, creating a compelling and thought-provoking narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

Conclusion

The genre of a future movie about Donald Trump's presidency can vary widely depending on the perspective of the production and the vision of the director. From a LEFT WING perspective, the film could focus on the ridiculous aspects of his presidency, while a RIGH-WING perspective would highlight his resilience and fairness. Regardless of the genre, the film will undoubtedly spark debate and discussion about the Trump era.
