The Devil Wears Prada

    This movie is produced by David Frankel. The main characters are Meryl Streep (Miranda Priestly), Anne Hathaway (Andrea Sachs), and Stanley Tucci (Nigel). It is about a young girl, Andrea Sachs, who just freshly graduated from Northeastern University. The movie tells how the naïve, young girl experiences a fashion adventure in her first job after graduation. “She is hired to work as the second assistant of the powerful and sophisticated Miranda Priestly, the ruthless and merciless executive of the Runway fashion magazine”(Carvalho). While working for Miranda Priestly, she faces a big fashion challenge and has to change her attitude and behavior, and even sacrifice her private life to adapt to the needs of her job. Although her boss is the toughest woman in her work experience, working for her is like working for a devil, though she eventually wins her boss’ respect and praise.

     This movie is like a fashion show that guides audiences to have a beautiful fashion journey. This is one of the reason I love this movie. Women who love fashions would love to watch this movie too, because the main actress, Andrea Sachs, as a model shows lots of luxurious brands of cloths, shoes and bags to the audience. This is what most young women dream to have. Each time, her new appearance not only inspires her colleagues, but also inspires and entertains the audience.

     Another reason I love this movie is it expresses a spirit and attitude of stubbornness and activity and that people should not easily give up a challenge and accept failure of work and life. Sometimes, success is just one step away from what we are facing, tolerating, and challenging. The new graduate, Andrea, in this movie expressed these characteristics very well. Through her performances, the movie actually advocates that people, especially young people who just entered society, should realize that life is not easy. The work we are doing would be tough and challenging. However, if we can adjust and balance our attitude and behavior to face those challenges bravely and positively, our future life would be brighter.

   

     The movie actually gets a high rating and many good comments from the audience. People who are interested in this movie and want to get more information can go online to some of the links below.
