The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 film directed by David Frankel. In New York, the simple girl who just graduated in journalism, Andrea Sachs, is hired to work as the second assistant of the powerful and sophisticated Miranda Priestly, the ruthless executive of the Runway fashion magazine. Andrea dreams to become a journalist and faces the opportunity as a temporary professional challenge. The first assistant Emily advises Andrea about the behavior and preferences of their cruel boss while the stylist Nigel helps Andrea to dress more adequately for the environment. Andrea changes her attitude and behavior, affecting her private life and the relationship with her boyfriend Nate, her family and friends. I'm not too into fashion, but I liked the film. It also taught me a lot about fashion that I didn't know.

The film had amazing actors/actresses. No one could have played the cruel boss any better than Meryl Streep. Anne Hathaway has that innocent girl look and personality which made her perfect for the part of Andrea. Emily Blunt has an up beat personality for the part of the first assistant. Stanley Tucci played Nigel the stylist very well, and Adrian Grenier has the scruffy look to make Nate not look so high class and into fashion like all the rest.

The storyline to The Devil Wears Prada is that life is made of a lot of choices. In the film, Andrea had one choice after another. She had a goal to be a journalist and a chance to work for a magazine. Once she got the job, she had to make the choice of becoming more successful in her career and possibly end up losing her family, friends, and boyfriend or staying with the one she loves and changing careers. The ending of the movie was a good ending. It was nice seeing Andrea be able to stand up against Miranda and chose to do what she wanted.

The Film is trying to tell us life is full of choices, so chose wisely. The impact it will have on society is to make people realize whatever decision they make in life, they will have to live with it. In the film, by making the decision to move on and become more successful in her career, Andrea had to give up friend and family time for work and things got rocky in those relationships. After prioritizing her life and realizing what was best for her, things started looking up for Andrea.
