Hi, everyone. Recently I watched an old but famous movie: The Devil Wears Prada. It left a profound impression to me. Today I would like talk about this
film.
This is a kind of comedy which I like best. All characters in this film
are full of humor, especially the actress who plays Miranda. She is an expert
in practical jokes with her crazy behavior and eccentric voice. Andy always becomes
mad by Miranda’s unreasonable requests. In addition, the actress who plays Andrea
Sachs is also the actress that I like. It seems the role of Andy is designed specially
for her. And Andrea finally found her own style in this role. She made us
believe that her glamour is hard to resist. 
Besides, I especially get enlightenment from the heroine Andy. She changes
a bit from the start of the movie to the end of the movie. Andy can not get
along with other people when she enters Runway at the first time. But soon she becomes
acclimated with the nervous working environment and harsh boss. After talking
with the senior stylist at Runway, Andy decides to adjust her attitude to work
and change her image. Her new image with fashionable clothes and hair is
profuse in praise. Andy’s hard effort makes her take the place of her ex-colleague
completely, and she becomes the best assistant to her boss. I have to admire Andy’s
working capability with taking on her work perfectly. She is willing to attempt
new ways for her mission. Precious spirit can be found from Andy: Keep asking
yourself whether you can do better during your work and trying new methods to
work constantly.
What is more, this movie helps me realize a vital point: choose the
thing what you really want. After she became successful with her career, excessive
work and the difficult boss occupied Andy’s life. At this time, life is in conflict
with work. The distance between Andy and her friends was created because she barely
had any time to attend the parties of her friends. Her boyfriend decided to
break up with her. She even couldn’t keep her mind at dinner with her father. A
call from her boss, Miranda, will disrupt her normal life. Actually, Miranda,
who has a successful career and bad family, is facing the same problem that Andy
is affected by: how to balance work and life? After returning from Paris, Andy finally
realizes what it is she wants. At the end of the film, Andy resigns from Runway
and goes backs to her original life. However, Miranda is still indifferent to
her subordinates. For Andy, work is never more important than life. Meanwhile, work
is the main thing for Miranda. In conclusion, different people have different
needs, while the most important is to pursue the dream in the bottom of your
heart.
Movie is a good way for us to understand ourselves. Sometimes we can see
the shadow of us through movie. Hope you enjoy this wonderful film ^-^

ReplyDeleteThank you, Grace! I like this movie too, and yes, I agree that we can think or realize something through movies. For me, this movie created some ideals as a woman. It influenced my style of shopping; making more fun and exciting. I'm glad being a woman!

ReplyDeleteHi Grace! I like the movie, "The Devil Wears Prada", so much even the movie could be assisiated as a movie for women. Do you think that in real life the main hero chose to be with his boyfriend? I like the main hero because she shose his love instead of fashion clothing and high payd work.

ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, Grace has just described how the wealth and prosperity of the United States is expressed through film. In many countries, the culture puts a huge emphasis on status and money; then the parents of a man or woman will approve or disapprove based on these criteria. In countries that are substantially less wealthy than the United States, some women are forced, by the basic human need of food and shelter, to "love" a man for their money. Although "The Devil Wears Prada" is empowering for American women, I think the movie fails in expressing this through socioeconomic barriers.
