The Devil Wears Prada

still one of the most iconic 2000s movies. rewatching now vs when i was younger feels completely different. i actually get the fashion world and references now. what really stood out this time is her boyfriend. i didn’t notice it before, but now it’s so clear how insecure and pathetic he is. from the start he makes that comment about her getting a job at a fashion magazine while not dressing the part or fitting their standards, which already says a lot. and the second andrea starts enjoying her job and growing, he turns whiny and childish instead of supportive. she supported him when he got his sous-chef job in boston, but he can’t do the same. the double standards are crazy. he expects her to adjust to his career, but can’t handle her success at all. my opinion on Miranda Priestly changed too. she’s not nice, but i get her now. at that level you need a cold, rational mindset to survive. still one of my favorites. and with the budget that they had, i think they did a well done job.
