I watched The Intern on a streaming service last week. The story was about an old intern. He retired from his work a few years ago, and he had enjoyed his life after his retirement. However, he tired of his retirement life, so he would find his job again. Robert Di Nero played as the intern. I know his role Italian mafia in God Father. The gap of two roles has surprized me. Have you watched the movie?
I watched "The Intern" on a streaming service last week. The story was about an old intern. He had retired from his work a few years ago, and he had enjoyed his life after his retirement. However, he grew tired of his retirement life, so he decided to find a job again. Robert De Niro played as the intern. I know his role as an Italian mafia character in "The Godfather." The gap between the two roles has surprised me. Have you watched the movie?
That's good. Yes, it was surprisingly funny. I liked the relations among the interns. I couldn't help laughing that young interns were influenced by Robert Di Niro gradually. I think that the relationship between the intern and his boss seemed to be father and daughter. He seemed to accept not only her goodness but also her fault. Ann Hathaway was so beautiful, wasn't she? I thought that I need to mind my apparencies a little bit after watching the movie.

2. Use "as" because it is used here to mean "while" or "because."
3. Fix the spelling error.
4. Add "like that of a" to improve clarity. You’re comparing their relationship to that of a father and daughter.
5. Add "a" because "daughter" is singular and countable.
6. Fix the spelling error.
7. Use "needed." The verb "thought" is in the past tense, so the verb in the noun clause ("that I needed") must also be in the past tense for consistency.
8. Rephrase it as "pay more attention to my appearance." "Pay attention to" is clearer and more commonly used. "Appearance" is the correct word when referring to how you look or present yourself.
That's right. The relationship between he and his boss's daughter was like a grandfather and grandchild. I watch the movies for enjoying them, and they happened to have life lessons. How about you?

2. Add "that of" to clearly make a comparison between relationships.
3. Add "a" because "grandchild" is singular and countable.
4. Remove "the" because it is not needed here.
5. Use "enjoyment" because "for enjoyment" is more idiomatic and natural.
6. Use "happen." You are using the present tense ("I watch"), so you should keep the second verb in the present tense too.
Do you know "Remember Me" ,which is produced by Disney? The movie describes about All soul's day in Mexico. Above all things, I was surprised that the Mexican had the same concept about the world which our ancestors live after their death. The movie made me reconsidered that our ancestors always kept their eyes on us. I thought again that it's important for us to respect and think of our ancestors.
Do you know "Coco," which is produced by Pixar (a Disney company)? The movie depicts the Day of the Dead in Mexico. Above all things, I was surprised that the Mexicans had the same concept about the world in which our ancestors live after their death. The movie made me reconsider that our ancestors always kept their eyes on us. I thought again that it's important for us to respect and think of our ancestors.
2. Complete the information.
3. Use "depicts the Day of the Dead." "Depicts" is more appropriate for movies or visual storytelling. The actual holiday portrayed in Coco is "Día de los Muertos," which translates to "Day of the Dead," not "All Souls' Day."
4. Use "Mexicans" because the verb "make" is followed by the base form of the next verb.
5. Add "in" because the verb "live" requires a preposition. People live in a place.
6. Use "reconsider" because after the verb "made," English grammar requires the base form (bare infinitive).
We have Obon in the middle of August. During Obon, ancestors are said to come back their home once per year. We decorated their Buddist alter with flowers and lanterns for greeting them. I think that how to celebrate Obon in Japana is similar to how to celebrate All soul's day in Mexico. As you said, I think that good movies teach and remind us of something meaningful, too. I'm looking forward to watching the next movie.

2. Use "homes" because the word "ancestors" is plural, so using "homes" makes the sentence consistent.
3. Use "decorate" because you’re speaking in general/present tense about what you do during Obon.
4. Fix the spelling error.
5. Use "to greet" because "to greet them" is a more idiomatic and concise expression of purpose.
6. Use "the way we" because it is natural and accurate for making a comparison between cultural traditions.
7. Fix the spelling error.
8. This is the correct name of the holiday in Mexico.
9. Remove the comma before "too" when it appears at the end of a sentence.
