Went to go see the movie, 'The Devil Wears Prada' today. From the previews, it looked really funny, and I love Ann Hathaway since her debut in the Princess Diaries.
In watching the movie, I was intrigued by the story behind the obvious plot line.
Without ruining it for those who want to see it, and haven't yet, I won't give away the story but the 'devil' refers to Glenn Close' character who is an editor of a fashion magazine. She's a tough and very demanding employer so Ann Hathaway's character (who is fashionably challenged) works for her as an assistant, trying to do even one thing right. Not the ideal job she wanted, she finds herself trying to fit in more with her environment, thanks to the help of mentor-type photo editor (played by Stanley Tucci). Her change in wardrobe and attitude hurts her relationships with friends and her boyfriend (played by Adrienne-somthing. He's been in a few movies & has a cable tv show Entourage, I think it's called).
After a trip to Paris with her boss (the 'dragon-lady'), Ann's character realizes that she's not happy, and most importantly, there's an actual person that's also hurting behind the rough exterior of the 'dragon lady's' demanding, personality.
This movie is a great reminder that it's the beauty within that is important, not the outward beauty. You can dress up in designer clothes, shoes and have flawless hair & makeup... it won't make you happy. It's also a great reminder of the importance of friends and being kind and friendly to even the most snooty or miserable person can make a difference in their lives. In having this positon with this magazine, she befriends two unlikely people.
I didn't really look into the depth of movies before, until a few came out that has great storylines and has an important lesson behind it.
I loved this movie and will definately buy it when it comes out on video. I'm sure I'll watch it at least a few more times before it comes out on video. It was a great film, with lots of great laughs and cool fashions!
