Saw Robert De Nero’s movie, “The Intern”
today. If I would start raving about how
beautiful and well made the movie was; I would merely be repeating and echoing
the same emotions as has been felt by millions of fans across the globe. What the film reasserts is the power of a simple
narrative to express complex emotions.
There is nothing complex about the story line. And that is the real beauty
of the movie. The multi layered human
emotions can easily weave a confusing web that can leave one giddy if one
attempts to entwine it. Human equation
is more often than not cast in the web of complexity.
The role reversal in terms of the
personal and professional life can further accelerate the confusion that
overshadows this delicate equation. The
beauty of the plot lies in the fact that it set out an objective perspective in
the form of the narrative of the old and wise intern. The wise intern is like a guide post who silently
and subtly nudges the protagonist to reflect upon her emotions, goals and aspirations. The character of the intern to whom Robert De
Nero has certainly done full justice is like an inner voice that helps the
protagonist to do course correction at regular intervals.
In real life we may not have the
privilege of having such a sagely Intern around us. However, if we choose to listen to sound of
our inner voice, we would certainly realize that we all have the privilege of
having a guardian angel in the form of our inner voice, our gut feeling that refuses
to leave our side come what may. I
believe that it is this inner voice, this gut feeling that plays the role of
the sagely intern in our lives. Unfortunately, the constant clamour of every
day existences pushes this inner voice into a dark and deep corner. If only we
free ourselves from the clutches of this constant clamour and allow the inner
voice to express itself, we would certainly find our intern that helps us get
past the treacherous path of continuous hurt to the safe havens of peace and
internal freedom.
Hope we learn to listen to the sound of
our beautiful inner voice those servers as our selfless interns, if only we
choose to listen!
