If you weep at the thought of a White House without Barack Obama, take comfort in Netflix's new original biopic about the future POTUS as a 20-year-old college student.
如果你因为奥巴马将要离开白宫而伤心流泪的话，那就到网飞公司新制作的传记电影里寻找安慰吧。《巴里》讲述了奥巴马总统还是20岁的大学生时的故事。
Barry follows the young ambitious Barack - called Barry by his
pals - as he
navigates the gritty, crime-ridden New York City of the early 1980s.
Barry, played by Australian actor Devon Terrell, arrives in the city as a junior at Columbia University.
The trailer highlights Obama's sense of
displacement as a child of a white mother from rural Kansas and a black father from Kenya.
It also shows him indulging in a few things we don't normally associate with the buttoned-up POTUS: dancing
sensuously at a nightclub with a young lady who is not Michelle Obama, hanging out on graffiti-scarred street corners and inside smoky
tenement hallways, and lounging shirtless in bed with a cigarette
dangling from his mouth.
Throughout the trailer, the theme of Obama's 'otherness' from his classmates is clear - he's of mixed race, he's not into the club scene, and he probably studies just a bit harder than most of them.
It might be a shock for some to see Barack sans Michelle - at this stage of life, his girlfriend is Charlotte, a wealthy young lady from Connecticut, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, a composite of Obama's college girlfriends, including Genevieve Cook.
The movie is directed by Vikram Gandhi and was written by Adam Mansbach.
Barry, which received
rave reviews at the Toronto Film Festival, premieres December 16.
