From "The Queen Wears Prada" to "The Intern", Anne Hathaway has finally been promoted from a young assistant intern to a female boss of a large company, but this time, although she did not meet a "menopausal female boss", she encountered To a "senior intern" - Ben.
The movie "The Intern" gives the characters a novel setting - the old gentleman intern and the new era strong woman, between them, the fireworks that collide are not tender love, but a year-end friendship that spans half a century .
Ben's appearance began on a green field under the scorching sun, and he played Tai Chi with ease, no different from other retirees. Ben is 70 years old this year. He could have enjoyed his old age comfortably after retirement, but Ben, who is still enthusiastic about life, chose to apply for a "senior intern" in a company. Yes, his boss is Joel, the female boss played by Anne Hathaway, and just like that, Ben became Joel's elderly assistant intern.
For Ben's life in the past 70 years, there is not much mentioned in the movie. The former work and the deceased lover were only carried by a few words, and what is more important to Ben is the unknown unknown to come. new life.
The biggest contradiction in the film is the impact of the "new era" and the "old face". Ben has been looking like an old-fashioned gentleman since the first day of work, neat suit and tie, a retro old-fashioned leather bag, which contains a series of pens, notepads, calculators and a series of old workers. Supplies, when I go to work, Ben will take them out in the same way and place them neatly on the workbench. However, in the new company, most of the work is done by computer, and the work is contacted by e-mail or by mobile phone. But don't think that the elderly intern will imprison him in his old work situation, like a stubborn old-fashioned old-fashioned. Ben is very serious about learning the technology of the new era, learning to write documents with a computer, and trying to send and receive work content by email. The boss, Julie, didn’t get off work, and Ben insisted not to leave early. Julie asked him why he didn’t go home after get off work. Ben said: I don’t have the habit of getting off work before the boss. It was these words that made Zhu Er, who was originally afraid that it would be difficult to communicate with the elderly assistant, gradually opened her heart.
Young Julie was burdened with work and family at an early age, and her life gradually lost its balance. At this time, Ben, because of his rich life experience, gradually became familiar with him, but instead became Jule's life mentor. He helps Julie balance the family and encourages Julie to work. The experience of life is an invisible wealth, as indicated on the flashing poster in the film - "experience never gets old".
It seems that no one is not afraid of time, taking away youth, leaving white hair and wrinkles, however, the appearance of Ben makes us learn to appreciate time, be kind to life, and no longer be afraid of getting old.
In the movie, there is such a detail: Julie worked late and Ben still didn't leave, so Julie took pizza and beer to share with Ben. The two talked about the past.
Zhu Er said that the current location of the company used to be a printing factory. And the next second, she suddenly thought, could this be the printing factory where Ben worked for 40 years...
At that moment, we were all moved by coincidence, and it all happened suddenly and naturally. Only then did I understand at the beginning of the film, where Ben had a chat with his friends after seeing the job posting, where did the certainty in his heart come from.
It turns out that this kind of preciousness has long been doomed in the torrent of the times. As for Ben, he not only accepted it calmly, but also chose to go head-to-head. He decided to take a look, what kind of new look should the place look like now?
The film ends with a happy laugh, Julie resolves the family conflict and keeps her job. It's just that Ben chose to give himself a few days off, and he was still practicing Tai Chi on the green field under the scorching sun.
I watched the movie with gratitude, thank you Ben, and thank you for the scorching sun as the old life, those secrets hidden in the wrinkles of human beings, finally make getting old no longer scary.
If time catches you off guard, what if you let it steal the blue silk? Just don't forget to transform into a better version of yourself.
