Well, let me tell ya ’bout this here movie, “The Devil Wears Prada.” It’s about this young gal, Andy, gets herself a job workin’ for this big-shot lady, Miranda, at a fancy-schmancy magazine. This Miranda, she’s somethin’ else, lemme tell ya.
Now, Andy, she ain’t no fashionista or nothin’. She’s just a regular gal tryin’ to make a livin’. But this job, it’s a real whirlwind. Miranda, she’s always demandin’ this and demandin’ that. “Get me this, get me that,” she says. “And make it snappy!” Poor Andy, she’s runnin’ around like a chicken with its head cut off.
- First thing, Andy gotta learn all these fancy names for colors. It ain’t just blue, ya know? It’s “cerulean” this and “lapis” that. Who ever heard of such things?
- Then, there’s all the phone calls. Folks callin’ about this designer and that designer. “Mrs. Samuels called about Parent-Teacher somethin’,” Andy says. Sounds like a headache to me.
- And don’t even get me started on the clothes! Miranda, she’s always dressed to the nines, and she expects Andy to keep up. But Andy, she’s just wearin’ whatever she can find. She gets a makeover, though. Turns into a real looker, but that ain’t the point, ya see?
This Miranda, she ain’t easy to work for. She fired the last two girls, quick as a wink. People are scared of her, ya know? “Who’s Miranda?” Andy asks at first, all innocent-like. She finds out soon enough! Miranda, she’s got this way of lookin’ at ya, makes ya feel like ya ain’t worth nothin’. She just says, “That’s all,” and ya know you messed up.
But Andy, she’s tough. She learns the ropes. She figures out how to deal with Miranda and all her crazy demands. She even starts to dress better, learns all them fancy names. She starts to fit in, ya know? But is that a good thing? That’s what the movie’s about, see? It makes ya think about what’s important in life. Is it all about the fancy clothes and the big-shot job? Or is there somethin’ more?
There’s this one part where Miranda talks about this blue sweater. She says, “But what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis, it’s actually cerulean.” It’s like she sees things other folks don’t see. It kinda makes ya think about how much work goes into makin’ things look pretty, even if it’s just a sweater. They gotta choose the color just right, ya know? People like Miranda, they care about that stuff.
There are parts that make ya laugh, like when Andy’s tryin’ to keep up with all of Miranda’s demands. And there are parts that make ya think, like when Andy starts to lose herself in this crazy world of fashion. And there are parts that make ya wanna stand up and cheer, like when Andy finally stands up to Miranda.
This movie, it ain’t just about fashion, see? It’s about findin’ yourself, about figuring out what ya want outta life. It’s about workin’ hard and tryin’ to make somethin’ of yourself, even if ya gotta deal with some difficult people along the way. “The Devil Wears Prada” they call it, but it ain’t all about the devil. It’s about the choices we make and the people we become.
The film was made way back in 2006, directed by some fella named David Frankel. Folks still talk about it, so it must be pretty good. There’s this big website, “Internet Movie Script Database” they call it, where you can find the script for all sorts of movies, including this one. If ya wanna read it yourself, ya can probably find it there. But I’m tellin’ ya, watchin’ the movie is better. You get to see all the fancy clothes and the pretty people. And you get to see Meryl Streep, the woman who played Miranda. She’s really something.
They also talk about food, these fancy foods with names I can’t even pronounce. Something called “Vacherin” filled with berries and rhubarb or some such thing. It’s a whole different world, I tell ya. A world of high fashion and fancy food, and people who take it all very seriously. And Andy, she gets thrown right into the middle of it.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a movie that’s got a little bit of everything, “The Devil Wears Prada” is a good choice. It’ll make ya laugh, it’ll make ya think, and it might even make ya wanna go out and buy a new outfit. Just don’t go workin’ for no Miranda, unless you’re ready for a real challenge. And remember, it ain’t just about the clothes, it’s about what’s inside. But lookin’ good don’t hurt none, neither. That’s all I gotta say about that.
