The Devil Wears Prada


Director David Frankel

Plot The movie is based on a best-selling novel by Lauren Weisberger. It talks about a not-so-fashionable girl going to work as an assistant for Miranda Priestly, the editor in chief of Runway (the top of the top fashion magazines in the world).

Cast Miranda Priestly - Meryl Streep Andrea Sachs - Anne Hathaway Emily Charlton - Emily Blunt Nigel - Stanley Tucci etc.

Genre Comedy, Drama

Year 2006

I think the movie is brilliant. The director and the costume disaigner (Patricia Field) have both worked with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis in Sex and the City, which is also in New York. The world, of New York, is filled with high-fashion, bitchy people, money, career and most important of all, beauty.
I love Emily in this movie (I don't say that i dont love Meryl or Stanley or any other caracter) because she is so "tired" . She is so nasty towards Andy and so precise about the details in her work. She worships the magazine and Miranda. I love the scene where Andy comes to Runway the first time and asks for Emily Charlton. Emily appears and says/asks: "Andrea Sachs? Great. Human resources has an odd sense of humour (chuckle). Follow me!" I think it shows you the attitude of the movie right away. Bitchy.
I really do recommend the movie. It's funny and glamorous. Soooo... watch the movie... and read the book too.
