Movie Caf'e:THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA




About this movie
The Devil Wears Prada is a comedy-drama film, the screen adaptation of Lauren Weisberger's 2003 novel of the same name. It stars Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs, a recent university graduate who gets a job as a co-assistant to powerful fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep.


Hoping to work her way to the The New Yorker or Vanity Fair, Andrea "Andy" Sachs, fresh out of college, lands a plum magazine job: personal assistant to Miranda, who dominates the fashion world from her perch atop Runway magazine. She puts up with the eccentric and humiliating requests of her boss because, she is told, if she lasts a year in the position she will get her pick of other jobs, perhaps even the journalistic position she truly craves.
Gradually, though, Andrea adjusts to the position and its many perks, including free designer clothing and other choice accessories. She also comes to prize chance encounters with hot young writer Christian, who earns her eternal gratitude when he helps her with one of her more impossible assignments. However, her family and, especially, friends are feeling neglected. Ultimately Andrea realizes she must make a choice between them and her job lest she become more like the woman she despises working for.

The Real World


The Movie World

Anne Hathaway is Lauren Weisberger in the real world. Lauren Weisberger wored at VOGUE magazine. During that period of time, she definitely put up with her editor-Anna' s austere training. Lauren Weisberger is a pretty young woman with regular features, but seems serious and critical. Especially when she dressed on the shirts, I think she is more suitable to stay in academic circles. Lauren Weisberger and her evil boss-Anna both looks dominant. Which lack of Miranda' s humor and Andy' s kindhearted in the movie. Therefore, we probably can' t even imagine the violence that Lauren Weisberger and Anna fighting with agenda mind.

Lauren Weisberger endured Anna till the fashion show in Paris. However, she can't help but damned Anna"Fuck you!" and quited her job well-executed. When she came back to America, she sold a lot of clothes and bags that she got from the Paris fashion show for US$30,000. Then she concentrate on writing books to show her resentful of her boss.

But when the novel adapt for movie, it shows warming human touch. This dilute the critical atmosphere in the novel. In the end, the scenarists let the good girl-Andy send her clothes to Emily who has no chance to go to Paris .
