Jules:
Also, if we got divorced, he'll remarry. Maybe not to this girl but
someone. And we both know i am not easy. So i could be like, single
forever which means that ... Forgive me, this does keep me up in the
middle of the night. That I don't ...
Ben: What?
Jules:
That i don't want to be buried alone. Paige will be with her husband
and Matt will be with his new family and i will be buried with
strangers. I'll be buried in the strangers singles section of the
cemetery. Not that that is a reason to stay together but it's just, you
know, a scary sidebar.
Ben: Let's take that one off your plate right now. You can be buried with me and Molly. I happen to have space, okay?
Jules: Oh thank you so much. I didn't think that i even hire you.
I can see me in Jules especially at the part when she said that she is not easy.
I am a sucker for movies about woman. I like stories about woman. Especially about friendship, woman with great career, strong woman, family and stuff. They feel close to my heart. That sometimes i can relate so much. And i like that.
When i first saw The Intern Movie on tv, i watched it because of Anne Hathaway. And because of the title itself. Which i was convinced that i will not going to waste my 2 hours watching some crappy movie. And i've experienced being an intern too, so yeah. At first i thought the movie was about an old man who is an intern that trapped into different kind of troubles because of the CEO. Almost exactly like The Devil Wears Prada. Only this time Anne Hathaway is the devil. To an old man. Not that evil kind of devil like come on, it's Anne Hathaway. But more to like a boss who doesn't care about her intern, giving him such works etc and then something happen, she regrets it later. Haha. But i was completely wrong. Totally.
One paragraph spoiler alert ...
Long story short, it is a movie about a retiree, Ben who gets bored of retirement and finally become a senior intern at a fast-growing internet clothing company (almost exactly like FashionValet). The CEO and founder of the company, Jules is his boss (obviously). Jules is a career oriented woman who don't really has the time to pay attention at the senior intern. But somehow, they spend a lot of time working together and grow on each other. Jules has a child named Paige and a stay-at-home husband, Matt. Since she didn't have much balance between her career and family, and after she found out about her husband cheating on her (but she pretends like she didn't know about it). With a heavy heart, she finally decided to hire a new CEO to run her company hoping that everything will get better and at the same time, hoping that Matt will stop cheating on her.
I don't know about others but this movie works as a good exploration of purposes and relationships for me. My verdict on the movie is 8/10. Two lessons: One, different generations can learn from each other in all aspects. Two, what is important and what is priority is actually can be very different. I know most of us might already watched the movie because it's already on tv long time ago. But if you haven't and feel like watching a movie during your free time, you can count this movie in. I promise this one is a good one.
Another spoiler alert (but just a bit hehe) ...
Actually i had the thought about The Intern movie after i watched Crazy Rich Asians on cinema the other day. The secondary heroin, Astrid, a (very) rich, faithful, loving wife married to a common people. Everything about her is perfect but unfortunately, her husband was having an affair behind her back. After she said that she actually knew about the affair, her husband acted out and wanted to leave because he doesn't feel like he fits in his wife's rich culture and whatnot and saying that as if it was Astrid's faults for making he feel that way. The most iconic moment was when Astrid told her husband that he can keep the apartment because she has 14 others to stay in. Her last word was; It's not my job to make you feel like a man. I can't make you something you are not. Damn!
Especially if you are an Asian, please also watch this movie! All Asian casts. The main cast, Henry Golding was from Malaysia. They speak Singlish like come on, what is the difference between Singlish and Manglish? Can't tell. And it's a Hollywood movie guys. What even? The movie was about a strict, rich parent that disapproved her son's not-rich girlfriend and go watch the movie lah. The focus in this movie is not about swiping credit cards or crazy spending habits, but more than that. My verdict on the movie is 9/10.
P/S: Thank God for good movies that keep us alive.
