7.6 - Please always choose your mental health, your morals and principles over any BS toxic work culture gives you. The movie is an interesting take on city life and the pressures of succeeding. It shows the pros and cons of working in a new territory where everything you've ever believed to be good for you is challenged and dismantled bit by bit until you don't know who you are anymore. In the end, it's also a story about being grounded and going back to your roots to secure a future that's best suited for you. Not claiming others ideal success as yours. To be honest, I honestly though this was just another chick flick romcom (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I've been blind-sided. The 2nd lead creep certainly did not help. I was honestly afraid that Andy would end up with him and it almost made me stop watching just so I wouldn't see her make that stupid decision. So thankful it wasn't like that. Also thankful that Andy is not this obnoxious, main character, not like any other girls stereotype that is so prevalent in modern media. She's genuinely just a fish out of water who's trying to adapt to the opportunities given to her.
As much as I love this movie and rewatch it periodically, the fundamental change of Andy being a more sympathetic character compared to novel Andy made her interpersonal conflicts more jarring - painting her friends and boyfriend as being the real villains instead of simply reacting to how she changed. This made me root for Andy’s career success instead of caring about her personal life and morality (supposedly) going up in flames, which was meant to be the central issue of the story. Andy was succumbing to a demanding job, not sabotaging anyone else for success. Even Miranda’s key decision to threaten Andy into going to Paris with her instead of Emily felt less like Andy overstepping and more like not having a choice if she wanted to keep everything she worked hard to build? It didn’t help that boyfriend Nate was a pouty, immature man-child rather than being understanding at any point. However, despite the flawed conflict, there’s no denying the iconic performances, hilarious and legendary dialogue, and beautiful chaos of New York fashion life that was depicted.
Really carried by the performances. The script is cliche and predictable but that doesn't really matter at all. Wish that Andy became more of an ass hole before "redeeming" herself, it really feels like the movie was too scared to have her do anything bad bad. Same goes for Streep's character, she's a diva but she doesn't really do anything too horrible through the movie, she definitely ain't the devil. Fun watch.

”A millions girls would kill for that job” Når jeg ser The Devils Wears Prada ser jeg den ikke for Anne Hathaway eller Meryl Streep. Eller naturligvis gør jeg ogdå det. De er helt fantastiske, men jeg ser den allermest for Stanley Tucci. Han er uovertruffen og min absolut favorit i filmen. Jeg kunne se en hel film kun med ham. Han er en af de mest undervurderede skuespillere i Hollywood. Plus jeg vil gerne eje samtlige af hans jakkesæt fra fimen. Generelt er det et helt igennem uovertruffen cast. Nå ja og Emiliy Blunt er også helt fantastisk, som første assistenten, der ikke kan lide Hathaway, fordi hun tydeligvis ikke har forstået at ”A millions girls would kill for that job” Filmen er en klassisk fis-out-of water, hvor vi følger Andrea (Hathaway), som ved en lykketræf bliver anden assistent for den mest indflydelsesrige modebladsredaktør i verden, Miranda Priestly, spillet vildt godt af Meryl Streep. Filmen følger hendes op og nedtur i modebranchen. Ikke nok med at filme
