txtxyeha ...infantile view of capitalism, business, and careers. When the Anne Hathaway character steps up to meet the demands of a high-profile job, her 20-something friends effectively roll their eyes at her and label her a sellout. When the same character gets promoted over the Emily Blunt character, the moral dilemma is whether or not Ms. Blunt's character's feelings will be hurt. Oh, boo-f'in-hoo. The whole "I'm meaner than the devil" routine I can let slide as comedy; however, if does enforce this (again) infantile-perception that to demand excellence you have to be a meany.
Tweekums Andrea 'Andy' Sachs has recently graduated and hopes to become a serious journalist; when sent for an interview at 'Runway', a prestigious fashion magazine, she sees it as a possible gateway despite having no interest in fashion. Nobody there expects Miranda Priestly, the magazine's domineering editor in chief, to offer her a job but to everybody's amazement she is made her second personal assistant. She is completely out of her depth but gradually manages to impress. This with the help of Nigel, the art director, who provides her with the right clothes for the job and Christian Thompson, a writer, who helps her with an 'impossible' task. As Andy works all hours to impress Miranda her relationships with her boyfriend and friends suffer and ultimately she starts to become somebody she never thought she could be as she first takes a job that somebody else had been looking forward to all year then, while trying to be kind, accidentally costs somebody else the opportunity of a lifetime.I have to admit that on the face of it this isn't my type of film but sometimes it is good to watch something different and I certainly don't regret watching this. The story may be fairly conventional but it is fun to watch. There are one or two enjoyable twists but nothing too major. Anne Hathaway does a really fine job as Andy and Meryl Streep dominates every scene she is in just as her character Miranda dominates those around her. They are ably supported by Emily Blunt as Miranda's first assistant, Emily, Stanley Tucci as Nigel and Simon Baker as Christian. Overall I enjoyed this more than I expected despite not being interested in the world of fashion… I couldn't tell the difference between Prada and Primark but while watching I cared about the characters and enjoyed the story.
romas-valen I watched this movie many years ago and it's still my favourite one. It's about fashion world and NYC life. One of the principles of this movie is young and talented Anne Hathaway. She is an excellent actress and a good example to follow.You should definitely watch this movie, especially if you love the world of fashion.
Davis P The devil wears Prada (2006) showcases so much talent! Talent from the actors, talent from the writers responsible for the script, and talent from virtually everyone involved in this film. Meryl Streep is absolutely fabulous as Miranda Priestly. Miranda kind of reminds me of Sadie Shelton (Bette Midler) from big business. Streep plays her with deeper meaning though, really gets into the character and there are scenes that give us the opportunity to see into Miranda and understand her as a person versus only seeing her as a tough as nails dragon lady. There is one in particular where she has absolutely no makeup and delivers a wonderfully written and very well executed monologue. It's great to see both the funny and dramatic aspects of this starring character. Anne Hathaway also stars as a young journalist living with her very sweet chef boyfriend. She comes to work alongside Emily blunt as one of Miranda's assistants. She is good in the film and I loved seeing her evolution as a character, she goes on a journey that tells her what's really important in her life. And just like Miranda, Anne's character has her comedic side also. Emily blunt is here and she's hilarious as Miranda's #1 assistant. And let me just say that the coat throwing on the desk part of the movie becomes important later in the movie so pay attention to that. The writing is both funny and touching at the same time and it's all tied together beautifully at the end. 9/10 for the devil wears Prada! A great choice for young teens and up.
