“No matter where [people] come from,” Melania announces during one of her grating voiceovers, “we are bound by the same humanity.” Though she speaks with a thick Slavic drawl, she refers only obliquely to her “country of birth” (Slovenia is referenced, directly, once). A parade of immigrants, including French-born fashion designer Hervé Pierre, appear to reinforce this vaguely cosmopolitan angle. “Opportunities, equality,” says Tham Kannalikham, a designer who moved to the US from Laos aged just two. “It’s really the American dream.” These are the good immigrants serving the Trump administration; a far cry from the ones in cages, the ones tear-gassed on the streets of Minneapolis, the ones festering in a jail cell in El Salvador.

Melania Trump is a scowling void of pure nothingness

Guys, I'm being totally genuine when I say that this description truly is spot on.
That is Melania. That's her. This is how she is objectively described.

It's either a bribe or a money laundring sceme. It's the only thing that makes sense.

It’s a bribe, go look at how much the movie paid to her. It was like half of the overall movie budget.
ripcord@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 210d
About 70% of the budget.

Budget $40 mil and she got paid $29mil. Definitely a real movie

You can tell they were having fun with this review

At least The Birth of a Nation and Riefenstahl's films had an impact on filmmaking. No one's going to cite Melania as inspiring anything other than suicidal thoughts while being forced to watch it

Does she know what her husband is doing to immigrants?
Formfiller@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 209d
She does. Remember when she went to visit children in cages wearing this?

When your entire life is based on gold digging, you aren't going to have a lot else going on upstairs.
Her claim to fame is being the first first lady whose pussy you can see on the internet.
As the Sopranos like to say...

Fuuuuuuck this bitch
CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 210d
I think they should hand out a They Live kit with this movie....
Wispy2891@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 210d
I do not understand how it did 7 million in the opening weekend.
billwashere@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 210d

Isn't that not very much for a debut these days? What did endgame do?
Brb.
Edit: I'm back. It did 1.2 billion in 5 days

Your comparing a movie with a budget of $356 million to a documentary.

I am not a mathematician but...doesn't that mean:
donnywholovedbowling@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 210d
Sure, but it was a documentary with a budget of 75m, so it should at least get a fraction, right?

I'm assuming these are numbers like the Regnery Press has for their books.

People writing reviews for newspapers/movie websites, and people who enjoy really bad movies
CurlyWurlies4All@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 210d
I mean. There's still a lot of people out there who'd love to show Daddy Trump their ass.
Wispy2891@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 210d
But those people don't have the attention span to see a WHOLE movie in a dark room without a phone
