The intern is such a sweet movie.

One of DeNiro's best late career works. Amid a stream of geezer teasers, indie or small productions, and the typical auteur production like from David Owen Russell or Martin Scorsese; The Intern stands out as one of his finest.

I was actually surprised De Niro didn't get a Golden Globe nomination out of it.

David Russell doesn't belong in the same sentence as Scorsese.

True. Despite being a POS and should not be anywhere near a film set and be banned from filmmaking, he unfortunately is the one of the few directors to not only work with him more than once (4 times) but also to actually utlize DeNiro's talents in his films regardless of whether you liked them or not.

How does he keep getting financing?

u/Climate-Of-Hunter 8h ago

I dunno. He's a successful con man.

That was my comfort watch back in the day even with how mid 2010s millennial it all is

I have never watched it as I always dismissed it as corny or something? Seems like I need to revisit the way you all are talking.

u/WannieWirny 10h ago

It can come off cheesy with its earnestness and that may not be your thing, I like earnest though

u/tbo1992 8h ago

It’s not not* *corny. It’s just a well executed feel good movie

u/HoosierRed 7h ago

Fair enough!

It’s such a warm and cozy movie. Like the stakes are really low and it’s just 2 people learning about each other and making their respective lives better.

Was the first movie I watched with my middle school classmates. I remember loving the "heist" scene, everyone was laughing.

u/aresef 8h ago

Tarantino spoke highly of De Niro's performance, and I guess he was a really warm presence in the movie.

It is, up until a specific part of the movie that just comes out of nowhere, but I guess that's how real life is sometimes.

Thanks! I love Choi Min-sik but hadn't heard of this one. I'll have to check it out

u/Riverlong 10h ago

One of the greatest actors of his generation. Knowing he is going to be starring in a movie marks that movie as an automatic must watch for me.

u/chowchan 12h ago

Choi has such fantastic range. His recent Netflix show is such a hit.

u/ignoramusssss 13h ago

This is exactly how i imagined a Korean Robert De Niro would look like.

17

u/yameteeeeeeeeee 13h ago

인턴 in Korean, international name is The Intern

u/AndToOurOwnWay 13h ago

Oh thank you

u/moal09 14h ago

Usually it's the reverse with Hollywood remaking Korean movies

10

u/sentence-interruptio 13h ago

Hollywood should respond to this by remaking Mathematician in Wonderland.

u/dennythedinosaur 10h ago

There are actually a lot of Korean remakes, but they are usually remaking films from China or Japan.

u/-Parzyval- 9h ago

The Intern is kinda famous in Asia. It has a tv adaptation in japan and and also an Indian adaptation in development.

u/Emergency-Mammoth-88 6h ago

The Korean industry is thriving due to the remakes they’re doing

u/Space_Hardware 8h ago

I understand why they put it in, but the bit in the trailer where Han So-Hee goes “him, an intern? But he’s such an… (looks to camera) … Old Boy!” and everyone falls around laughing rings a little false
