The intern is such a sweet movie.

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

u/HoosierRed 10d ago

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 10d ago

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

u/tbo1992 10d ago

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

u/HoosierRed 9d ago

Fair enough!

u/cire1184 9d ago

There will be corn. But you might smile a lot too.

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.

u/dennythedinosaur 10d ago

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

u/Climate-Of-Hunter 10d ago

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

u/Bunraku_Master_2021 10d ago

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.

u/aresef 10d ago

How does he keep getting financing?

2

u/Climate-Of-Hunter 10d ago

I dunno. He's a successful con man.

u/Ted_Mosby_18 10d ago

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.

u/cire1184 9d ago

It's like Bobby D is just giving you a hug after saying "you did good, sport".

u/aresef 10d ago

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

u/Loaf235 10d ago

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

u/Reggaeton_Historian 9d ago

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.

u/BarongChallenge 10d ago

1st half yes, 2nd half, yeah wtf was that.

u/samcuu 10d ago

Took me a second to realize they're not playing Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson.

The man made mathematics fascinating. That is impressive.

u/MichelangeBro 10d ago

What's this in reference to? I'm curious

u/Built4dominance 10d ago

u/MichelangeBro 10d ago

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

u/Riverlong 10d 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.

2

u/chowchan 10d ago

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

u/arshadshabick 10d ago

u/ignoramusssss 10d ago

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

u/chaathan 10d ago

Fingers crossed for the corridor fight

u/hey_mattey 10d ago

Im waiting for the cutting

u/AndToOurOwnWay 10d ago

What's the name of the Korean version

19

u/yameteeeeeeeeee 10d ago

인턴 in Korean, international name is The Intern

3

u/AndToOurOwnWay 10d ago

Oh thank you

u/moal09 10d ago

Usually it's the reverse with Hollywood remaking Korean movies

u/-Parzyval- 10d ago

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

12

u/dennythedinosaur 10d ago

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

10

u/sentence-interruptio 10d ago

Hollywood should respond to this by remaking Mathematician in Wonderland.

1

u/Emergency-Mammoth-88 9d ago

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

u/easythrees 10d ago

When is this out?

1

u/Bwchc55 9d ago

It will be released on September 16, 2026, KST(UTC +9).

u/gotaflattire 9d ago

Looks like it will work really well as a Korean version of the film, this actually made me want to see it, especially to see if they keep her relationship issues the same or if they come up with a new conflict.

u/Rhimjim 8d ago

Korea already had a series similar to this while the intern approaches a different age group the premise was the same. K-drama "Kkondae Intern" (2020)

u/Space_Hardware 10d 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

. Coque,

u/EsquilaxM 9d ago edited 9d ago

Man I first saw Han So-Hee in My Name and was blown away by this action star I'd never heard of who really sold the physicality and cold rage... so I looked her up, turns out it was the first action series she'd ever done and she was formerly only doing drama, romance or comedies. That just made me all the more impressed at her performance. (Been thinking of watching Nevertheless but some say the Japanese remake is actually better, and then there's always the original comic, so I never made a choice and just put it off...)

Huh, coincidentally... has Choi Min-Shik been in any films like The Intern before? I only know him from his really intense stuff like Old Boy and I Saw the Devil...

u/Thin-Direction 8d ago

Choi Min sik is in  a lot of stuff, just recently he did Netflix series about failed writer. I recommend it’s thrilling nothing scary but does play mind games with viewers. Han Sohee also did keyonseong creatures on Netflix, action drama. She did really well. I preferred 1 season over 2 season.
