Melania

As an American, I find it interesting to see how a "LEAGAL" Immigrant, super model can make it. Her taste in decor is understated, which mirrors most of the poor and middle class. It's a shame how people hate her because their heart is full of hate.

The movie is basically **propaganda** with the orange pedophiles wife as main character. Absolutely horrendous movie that should have never been funded by bootlicker Bezos in my opinion. Despicable human beings getting away with despicable acts; and now a despicable movie as the cherry on top. This movie will be laughed at and clowned on for centuries to come. **There is a reason the movie is already banned in multiple countries.**

A vanity piece about the most disliked 1st lady in US history. How does a Slavic model/goldigger become the wife of the president of what is arguably still, for now, the most powerful country in the world? How does a middle class social climber with little education and no real skills get an "Einstein Visa"? A damning indictment of how corrupted our political landscape is and how broken our immigration system is. A glaring example of hypocrisy in action.

If this has any purpose at all, it is to demonstrate just how running scared the American media conglomerates are of the Trump Organization. I would venture to suggest that this sterile and unrevealing feature has no rights value whatsoever, and that anyone would countenance paying $40 millions for it must stick in the throat of dozens of independent film makers who would give their eye-teeth for a share of such funding. There is a lot of hate around for this, but viewed with an open-mind it could have shone a light on the important work carried out by the First Lady. Instead, we simply watch an extended series of carefully crafted and entirely femicured photography that tells us precisely nothing about the job, or the lady herself. Never wearing the same outfit twice, who on earth cares about the many fittings for her inauguration coat, or their gold-embossed invitations to an intimate candlelit dinner (for about five hundred folk)? There are plenty of shots of her, perched atop her six inch heels, inhabiting what appear to be the service corridors of the Trump Tower before meeting a range of people, but we never really see her with her sleeves rolled up. There is one scene where a recently released Israeli hostage from the Hamas attack; a woman still concerned for the fate of her husband of forty-four years, is subjected to a metal detector sweep that rather summed this all up. You don’t get to Mrs. Trump unless it is all carefully choreographed and always with the focus on her. The whole thing reeks of faux-sensitivity. She is every bit as adept at playing the political game as her recently re-elected husband and that instinct to control the message is evident in spades here. There are one or two more human touches: she refers to the attempted murder of Donald in 2024 and breaks into the only behaviour remotely natural-looking with a tiny bit of “YMCA” from the “Village People”, but otherwise this merely follows a shrewd woman who never sets the veneer aside. I don’t know who wrote the grandiose narration, but given the standard of her spoken English it certainly can’t have been her and by the end of this I felt I had just been watching another “Barbie” movie, only nowhere near as much fun nor as real. Whether you are for or against the family agenda - and son Barron features more frequently towards the end to add a distinctly dynastic flavour to the proccedings, this is a cinematic meringue. It looks good but is insubstantial and frothy underneath.

Amazingly well done. Bravo to the producer, MELANIA ! Great choice of music! Also starting, Melania's dad who was picked up on camera more than anyone. Close second was the way Elon got screen time and the way she displayed the elegance and beauty of Usha Vance. I highly recommend to anyone except Trump haters who won't watch it anyway. They will only write the bad reviews without watching (because they can't watch) and spew their hatred caused by TDS.

One imagines that the makers of this documentary about Melania Trump set out to illuminate a life that has long been obscured by the lacquer of celebrity and political spectacle. Instead, what they have produced resembles something closer to a decorative vase: polished, expensive-looking, and entirely hollow when one peers inside. The film drifts from scene to scene with the languid confidence of a project that assumes significance merely by proximity to fame. Yet significance, like intelligence, cannot be borrowed indefinitely. The subject herself once possessed a career that, at the very least, had the virtue of clarity. As a model - sometimes clothed, sometimes rather conspicuously not - Melania Trump inhabited an industry that rarely pretends to be more than it is: the sale of image. Throughout the movie, her English, spoken only in fragments - small, battered phrases that arrived like luggage from a long journey, missing pieces and occasionally the handle - proves stubbornly resistant to comprehension. Of course, in her line of work, she required very little of it to conduct her business. Like her husband, the many men who begged her call were never in pursuit of grammar. The documentary, by contrast, seems determined to inflate this past into a myth of glamour and intrigue, while simultaneously being embarrassed by it. The result is a peculiar dance of suggestion and evasion, as though the film cannot quite decide whether it is chronicling a biography or laundering one. More striking, however, is the sense that no one involved appears entirely certain what the documentary is actually about. Is it a portrait of a private woman thrust into public life? A meditation on celebrity? A historical footnote to a controversial presidency? The film flirts with each possibility before abandoning it with the attention span of a goldfish. One begins to suspect that even Melania Trump herself - appearing in carefully staged fragments of indecipherable reflection - might struggle to explain the thesis of the enterprise bearing her name. The overwhelming impression is one of vapidity. Not the charming lightness of a confection, but the sterile emptiness of a showroom. Interviews float by without friction; narration offers platitudes where inquiry might have lived. The viewer is left contemplating the strange achievement of a documentary that manages to say almost nothing about its subject while speaking at considerable length. Indeed, if the choice were between this cinematic exercise in atmospheric nothingness and a two-hour film about storm systems forming over the Atlantic, one might reasonably prefer the latter. At least a documentary on stormy weather would possess drama, movement, and a recognizable narrative arc: pressure builds, clouds gather, lightning strikes. In this film, the barometric pressure never changes. One cannot quite shake the suspicion that the director’s motives may have less to do with artistic curiosity than with professional self-preservation. The project has the air of a polite offering - an ornamental gesture perhaps useful in quieting murmurs of impropriety or questionable associations elsewhere. If so, it succeeds admirably as a form of cinematic diplomacy. As a documentary, however, it is little more than an elegantly packaged void. And that, perhaps, is the final irony. A life once devoted to the careful presentation of image has inspired a film that mistakes presentation for substance entirely. The camera gazes, the music swells, the platitudes accumulate - and when the credits roll, one realizes that the documentary has achieved the remarkable feat of leaving its subject exactly where it began: impeccably styled, thoroughly distant, and essentially unknown. Ciao. For now. -Ash
