兒子放暑假回家,陪他到美麗華看院線片【實習大叔】(The Internship).

這部電影,真是讓「谷歌」(Google)賺到了,看完了,我好喜歡這家位在加州矽谷的科技公司,雖然它近年來備受同行的「蘋果」「臉書」的威脅。

我更因此喜歡製片、編劇、男主角,文斯.范,以前覺得他是粗魯不文的美國白人傻大個,他演的什麼:【婚禮終結者】【鐵男躲避球】,以前看來,品味不高。

但是【實習大叔】(The Internship)抓到一個有趣、重要且日漸影響台灣的大趨勢:全球化、搜索引擎、科技公司,如何奪走中年大叔的工作,如何凸顯世代差異,如何影響每一個人的生活(包括社區好吃到不行的獨門家傳披薩店)。

順著這個主題,就知道這部電影的背後,要講的東西,有多龐大,有多重要。

但是編劇,男主角,文斯.范,得到谷歌公司奧援,把所有大帽下的次子題,也鋪陳得很周延,很感人,而且,劇情緊湊,很好看。

年輕科技怪傑、宅男(Geek)在這裡沒有被醜化,反而凸顯出多樣性,開展對話空間。

被我講得好嚴肅,其實,這是一部好看的娛樂電影。

我很高興,兒子也看得津津有味,教育意義不錯。
