The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

I love this movie not because Anne Hathaway is in it. She is my favourite but this movie is funny and highly contains messages for those who willing to change themself for fashion and work but forget to be themself. Meryl Streep is a remarkable devil and she perfectly played her part. The Devil Wears Prada

I didn't knew what this movie was about before watching it. I just knew Meryl Streep and Anne Hattaway were in here so I decided to watch it, expecting a fun movie but nothing more. Well, it's true that it's a fun movie, but it's not only this. It tells the story of Andrea (Anne Hattaway), a young girl who wants to be a journalist and she starts as an assistant to Miranda Prestley (Meryl Streep) in one of the most recognized fashion magazines, Runway. Anne Hattaway gives a great performance, with this feeling of innocence at the beginning, running from one place to another to get the tasks of Miranda done, but at the end she starts to understand what does it means to be in the world of the fashion and it's consequences. But the true star in here is Meryl Streep, who gives a devilish and glamorous performance, but also at parts with a human touch, but only her presence in the movie is worth the watch of it.Well not only Meryl Streep is what makes the movie worth the watch. Also, I was impressed on the costume designs. How many different dresses they wear through the movie! From Meryl to Anne Hattaway to Emily Blunt or even Stanley Tucci, they all have such a great variety of clothes that will make you keep staring at the movie. This and also the great soundtrack provided by Theodore Shapiro which transmits the feelings of rush and evilness of Miranda, and the innocence and sadness at parts of Andy.I recommend it to every one who wants to watch an entertaining movie with an awesome performance by Meryl Streep and who wants to discover the price you have to pay for being in the world of fashion and glamour.

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.

This comedy seems to be a scathing critique of the huge "non-sense" that surrounds the world of fashion. Its the story of a young journalist (Anne Hathaway), serious and idealistic, newly output of the university, which seeks to adapt to the wording of a major fashion magazine, run by a very strict and demanding director (Meryl Streep), absolutely convinced of the crucial importance of fashion to the society that surrounds her. The way she explains it couldn't be more honest about the egocentric way the fashion industry thinks about itself, looking to format the world according to their own standards while seeking to give the world what their think he wants (its like an ouroboros). The film is full of small critics and humorous moments, as Andy is "tempted" by the seductive universe around her.Unfortunately, the script is not particularly innovative and ends up becoming quite predictable. Another problem of this film is the excessive advertising to brands and products. It looks like a family size commercial, with hundreds of references to brands embedded in dialogues and situations. In the other hand, the performance of the main actresses is excellent. Hathaway is at her best level and can really give some grace to her character and put it in conflicts of interest and situations that will oppose her values ​​and ideas to her need to keep her job. Meryl Streep is a chameleon-like actress, able to wear the skin of the devil himself in a convincing way when she wants. She is the star of this film, with her closed face and her inability to show some kind or human warmth.In short, this film is very positive because the performance of the two actresses involved and good comedy moments. Without being surprising or fascinating, its a film that entertains the audience in a very effective way.
