Review of The Intern (2010) by Hj L — 08 Aug 2017

30-year-old CEO, Jules (Anne Hathaway) who has grown up her company with more than 200 employees in a year and a half. Time is too short for her to be perfect for both home and work. She gets a 70-year-old intern, Ben (Robert De Niro) who have been living his life and trying to start unconventional life after retirement. Ben's first job as a senior intern coming through a senior intern program is Jules's secretary. She feels uncomfortable to him because he is older than her. However, she starts to open her mind to him, who is always polite and attentive to her. It cannot be found free time of her life in the company who is involved in the all managements of in the company and rides a bike in order to manage her physical fitness in the company. Jules' company is a big online shopping mall, and all the systems are very high-tech, but Ben is still analog. However, he fully adapts to work in the job due to his rich lifestyle and unique sociability. He has used to analog, but his mind is still hot. Although he may seem trivial, it is in fact crucial in terms of today's concern over different from the average 70 years old people we imagine.

However, as like the impression given by the title "intern", in the beginning of this movie, an unusual intern gives the impression of enjoying an interesting intern, but it starts to escape from the topic more and more. Even though it is not an ordinary intern, it is what happen when trying to break through the point that if the company looks reality, there are many restrictions. When it shows the company, it uses to be able to make a horizontal and autonomous image, rather than a vertical structure, but it uses to utilize images of Ann Hathaway's active and Robert Hathaway's warm.

Fortunately, the images of the actor are naturally melting into the film, they are helpful to make the movie brightening. Even though it is unrealistic to express the company. These are the characters that are unhate, so they become more empathetic and more sympathetic to the changes and events involved. It becomes a great attraction to the movie. My discussion of the events is in fact addressing the larger matter of limitations of situations. It has succeeded naturally to make tenderness in the beginning, but repetitive situations make the audience bored and have forced the limitations of setting from the setting of a drastic change.

It might be said that this movie is chiefly about interns on the company. But the problem with this movie, in my view, is that movies have become closer to mentor than intern. It turs out as a campaign to hire a mentor as old intern. The view of the movie, which focused on interns, is narrowed the focus on the two people. Events of outside of the company are increasing rather than outside of the company, and even an event that is kind of offence, is added for a tension of the movie. At this point, the fresh characters have only difference from the company, and it is similar to the relationship between father and daughter.

Ultimately, what is at skate here is that the relationship just as mentor between the two, rather than satire of company's culture through comparison and contrast between the older generation who devote themselves to the company for the half their lives and the younger generation who start to delicate to the company. It may be that the life of an intern is portrayed as an ambiguous point, and may have succeeded in finding intern like an angel in fairy tales.
