User Review
Seventy-year-old Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) is so tormented by idleness after the death of his wife that he decides to start working again. Since the business to which he devoted most of his life is long gone, Ben takes a job as an intern at an online fashion store and becomes personal assistant to the company's founder, Jules Austin (Anne Hathaway). Although Whittaker knows little about online commerce, his life experience, old-fashioned masculinity, and fatherly concern prove to be quite useful to the firm's young employees. Especially for Jules, who urgently needs someone who would listen to her, pity and support.
The main character of the movie can be anyone, even a computer-drawn raccoon with a futuristic machine gun. Only one character doesn't qualify - a happy person. At least in genre movies. Pop culture consists of stories about finding and achieving happiness, and the happy hero has nothing to find and achieve. He has, like a drunken alcoholic, “everything to himself.” Such a character can live on the outskirts of the plot and help the protagonist, but the movie cannot be his story, because he has no story - only boundless happiness.
As you've probably guessed by now, we're transparently hinting that director and screenwriter Nancy Meyers got the main character wrong. Ben Whittaker is too happy for that. Yes, at the beginning of the movie he misses his spouse and his job. But when there are no other problems in the life of a seventy-year-old man, he is much happier than 99% of humanity. And Ben is bored, not suffering from black depression. He is cheerful, fit, smiling, even at the funerals of old friends he does not indulge in gloomy thoughts, and he is not embarrassed at all that among the young employees of the Austin company he at first seems like a stale dinosaur. And it's not an American drawl with the “ocean” even during the disaster. Whittaker is genuinely happy from the beginning to the end of the film, and therefore it is impossible to empathize with him - only to envy and admire.
Such a hero could be the central character only in a movie about absolutely happy people, against the background of which Ben would seem insufficiently peaceful and insufficiently wide smiling. But “The Intern”, of course, is not such a movie, and therefore Whittaker had to be his Yoda, not Luke Skywalker. The central character of the picture Meyers should have made Jules Austin - a woman who to Ben's happiness as to the moon.
At first glance, however, it is not obvious, because Jules at first appears as an object of admiration as Ben. Her business is thriving and expanding, she is engaged in the business she adores, and at home she has a charming little girl and an attractive husband who became a housewife when his wife's business went uphill. As the action progresses, however, it becomes clear that Jules is a victim of her own success. Her business is swelling so quickly that it is out of control, investors are demanding that she hand over management to an outside director, Jules' employees are even less experienced than she is, her daughter suffers from a lack of maternal attention, and her husband supports Jules in words but not in deeds. He is palpably agonized that he gave up his career when his wife started earning well. Jules' life is a tangle of pressing contemporary issues, and unraveling this tangle could be the basis for a powerful professional-family drama. And it doesn't have to be dark or tragic. In Hollywood perfectly able to shoot tense dramatic tapes with a happy ending.
Meyers, however, a specialist in a different profile. Her end - beautifully soulful romantic comedies with a minimum of deep conflict. That's why she shows Jules' life not from the inside, but from the outside - through the eyes of a happy outsider. Ben's point of view softens the narrative and weakens its intensity, because Whittaker Jules is not a wife, daughter, lover or even a boss who can make or destroy his career. Her problems concern him only as a good Samaritan sharing his happiness with those around him. And Austin turns out not to be the center of the narrative, but only the most important of several protégés of Ben, whom the hero listens to, supports and teaches wisdom. It is indicative that the audience learns only in the second half of the movie how bad things are in the heroine's life. Although, it would seem, a two-hour movie should have found time for this much earlier.
As a result, instead of a deep and intense canvas, we got a sentimental comedy with only a few dramatic notes, which devotes only a little more time to Jules' family crisis than to Ben's admonitions about wearing suits and ties.
Yes, “The Intern” is one of the most enjoyable films of this year, and the soulfulness and goodness, coupled with good humor, flow off the screen. And yes, in this day and age, it's good to remind viewers that there is much to learn from the elderly and that traditional values should not be scrapped. But we think that against the backdrop of movies and TV series about Zuckerberg, Jobs and other male network entrepreneurs, both real and fictional, it would be interesting to see a serious, thoughtful film about a married woman building a successful Internet business. Not a simple-minded movie that reduces all of Jules' problems to the fact that because of a bad relationship with her mother, she has no one to complain to, to be patted on the head and told that she's a good girl. Of course, this is important too, but one wants more... Especially from such a long story. For a comedy of this kind, two hours is a bit too long.
