The Intern- 2015 (Movie Review)

Wary of English films these days

which almost invariably seem

to be dipped in violence & the macabre

I stay yards away; occasionally reminiscing of

the older movies that had so much more

 variety of subjects and content  …

On a strong recommendation though

after a gap of very many years

I set out to watch the “The Intern”

with spouse in tow

The title role essayed by a veteran

 “The Intern” did not disappoint

Instead it reminded me, of earlier times

a period of nostalgia, when I, an Indian

had watched so many Hollywood movies!

An old man of seventy

bored of being inactive

Jumps at a chance offered

by new policy of a company

to appoint a  senior citizen ‘intern’

The protagonist’s experiences

of handling office politics once again

 of taking on challenges of still being relevant

and being  involved in the lives of younger people

all make  for interesting, engrossing viewing

The movie leaves you inspired

and smiling all the way

with an “All’s well” climax

Kudos to the director, Nancy Meyers

To lead players Robert de Nero, Anne Hathaway

To everyone who contributed

to my two hour happiness!
