Jules from The Intern

"The Intern" tells the intriguing tale of Jules Ostin, the ambitious and creative creator of Fit, a rapidly growing e-commerce firm. Anne Hathaway brings the role to life as she navigates the hurdles of a quickly successful firm. The film depicts Jules' odd mentoring with Ben Whittaker, a 70-year-old intern played by Robert De Niro.

As Fit's popularity grows, Jules faces personal issues, including discovering her husband's adultery and facing pressure to resign as CEO. The film navigates age and gender prejudices, challenging Silicon Valley preconceptions. It stands noteworthy as an unusual depiction of a woman who is enthusiastic about her business, with a supportive male role highlighting that success in both job and home life is possible. "The Intern" expertly blends comedy, drama, and intelligence, making it a landmark in Hollywood's representation of successful businesswomen.
