Why would anyone go watch a movie about an imported prostitute?

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I'd watch a true story documentary on her life, I think that would be intriguing and unique. How many mail order brides find themselves in the white house, ya know? What happened in her life to get to that point? But this film is not that, only covering the month of January 2025.

My partner said this also, but personally I find her the least interesting person in history. I really doubt there's much to her life besides her using her looks to manipulate her reality. She randomly met the right rich loser and used him for his money. Then his psychopathic personality led him to the white house. If they did make that documentary I would watch it, but I feel pretty confident I would be disgusted by a terrible person getting humanized and being reminded by the awful destruction of the United States that weighs literally zero on her conscience.

There is no way to square her actions with anything but a soulless money-hungry void where a human is supposed to be. She may be most remembered by her explicit choice to wear a jacket reading "I really don't care, do you?" When visiting a prison for immigrants. And if that turns out to be the case, it would be fair. She's a fucking monster, and every day she doesn't kill or divorce Trump is a day she proves that

Oh yeah you're not wrong and there's about a dozen caveats to me actually wanting to watch it. It needs to be objective and fact based. It needs to be produced independently. It needs to include an actual investigation, with interviews of friends from the old country. And so on.

But I stand by that there is at least a unique, albeit horrifying, story there for someone unaffiliated to uncover.

To be fair, though, she’s a psychopath, so it’s bound to be ugly and boring. Imagine the life of that soulless zombie-esque creature. What is there to watch?

We need tariffs on imported prostitutes, support the domestic sex worker industry!

Trump would probably support the sex worker industry but they are all too old for him.

No he wouldn't even if he weren't a pedo. He'd never actually pay someone for honest labor.

Would an imported prostitute (not that there’s anything wrong with that) be given an Einstein visa?

[–] artyom@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

They're not supposed to. It's just shameless bribery. I bet the whole thing is just about DJT from her POV anyway.

[–] Axiochus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wow, or we could drop the misogyny and just dislike her for being part of a fascist dynasty. No need to berate sex workers, either.

I didn't detect any judgement. "Why would anyone go watch a movie about an imported wife?" and "Why would anyone go watch a movie about an imported cashier?" both sound about the same as the original sentence to me...
