Antiques enter big Google

Remember the shock of The Social Network (2010), which won three Oscars? Compared with the upstart Facebook, Google can be described as an uncle-level Internet company, but it is still full of charm. For example, many people are fascinated by the legendary Google employee canteen, which is not only free but also delicious. Now, the live-action comedy "Uncle Intern" filmed at Google headquarters can take you to find out. Although destined to be insulated from the Oscars, this film packs you into positive energy in laughter.
Screenwriter Vince Vaughn and his old partner Owen Wilson will play an unemployed uncle who only has watch sales experience and is out of touch in the technological age. However, they were lucky enough to get an internship at Google. At Google's headquarters, which is full of new people in technology, these two old antiques are naturally full of embarrassment. Fans will surely remember their famous work Wedding Crashers (2005) "Wedding Crashers", but in this film they are no longer exaggerated and vulgar, but ignorant and cute talkers. The classic scene in the trailer is when they joke around in the video interview, face-to-face so that the small camera captures their big heads, shouting loudly to make sure the interviewer on the monitor can hear them. However, in the competition for the qualification of the trainee team, the jokes they contributed began to plummet. They have no cunning and slick sales, but act as sincere confidantes. Fortunately, an Asian boy who was raised by a "tiger mother" family brought laughter from time to time.
Although the second half of the film no longer focuses on funny, but depicts how the uncles cooperate sincerely with the young people in the team in the competition, but don't be disappointed, the novel and interesting competition projects and the ups and downs of the uncle's team will keep your eyes peeled. . The inspirational theme is a bit old-fashioned, but the details of this film are still advancing with the times, whether it is the development of mobile app competitions, or the conflict and integration of old and new in the workplace. These are the best of times and technology is changing with each passing day. This is also the worst of times, and employment is still severe even for fresh graduates. Uncles with experience and no new knowledge and talented geeks with deep emotional intelligence are undoubtedly good partners for complementary learning. How they bridge the generation gap to build trust and support each other, the film gives credible examples.
Many viewers complained that "Uncle Intern" is the best advertising placement movie in history, because Google not only starred in the real name, but also didn't spend a penny to invest. So why do people still enjoy watching commercials? As the movie shows, Google lives by its corporate motto "Don't be evil."
