The Devil Wears Prada
-
In the dizzying world of New York fashion, where size zero is the new 2, six is the new 8, and a bad hair day can end a career, Runaway Magazine is the Holy Grail. Overseen with a finely manicured fist by Miranda Priestly--the most powerful woman in fashion--Runway is a fearsome gauntlet for anyone who wants to make it in the industry. To make Runway the fashion bible of New York and therefore the world, Miranda has let nothing stand in her way--including a long line of assistants that didn't make the cut. It's a job no self-respecting person can survive, yet it's an opportunity a million young women in New York would kill for. A stint as Miranda's assistant could blast-open the doors for recent college graduate Andy Sachs. More college drab than haute couture, she stands alone among the small army of "Clackers" on staff at Runway--superslim fashion divas clacking their stilettos down the halls of the magazine's Manhattan headquarters. But when Andy comes in for the job, it dawns on her that making it in this industry will take more than drive and determination. And her ultimate test stands before her in head-to-toe Prada. Miranda can spin the fashion world like a basketball but has a devil of a time finding and keeping a good assistant. Andy is completely wrong for the job. But she has something the rest of them don't: she refuses to fail. To become the perfect assistant, Andy will need to make herself over in Miranda's image. Soon, much to her boyfriend's dismay, she can talk the talk, walk the walk and never again confuse Dolce with Gabbana. But the more of life she sees through Miranda's eyes, the more she begins to grasp that Miranda's world is a fabulous but lonely one--and that sometimes great success depends on great sacrifice. But at what cost?

LOL! fireice never watch the devil's advocate?
anyway, the devil is probably a metaphor referring to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), one of the city's biggest magazine editors in the movie, who happens to be very mean and demanding.
to better summarize the story, it's about a beautiful young woman (the lovely Anne Hathaway) who, fresh from college, gets a job working as a personal assistant to Miranda and how she struggles to keep up with her boss's capricious and demeaning requests.
and no, there's no supernatural stuff in this movie. -

Fireice you watch already? If yes please give review. If not wanna join me watch tomorrow evening?Originally posted by FireIce:going to see next week -
Ok, watched it last night. Rather funny at times and quite entertaining. I've never thought much of fashion except as a form of tyranny, but this movie gave me a new perspective on it. Anne Hathaway really looks gorgeous in those frocks. Meryl Streep acted really well, infusing the iron lady character with a very nice subtle touch of humanity and vulnerability.
Overall it's still a fluffy chick-flick, but life's hard enough, so a little fluff is good for you. Definitely recommended. -
going to see this friday
opps......change of plans........going to see Singapore Dreaming instead...... -
Well this is a really nice movie. I watched it in early september. Its not just about Prada.... no doubt "Devil wear Prada" is a catchy title.
