The Devil Wears Prada (2006)★ 7.3/10

This movie is absolutely captivating. Typically, movies adhere to a formula, but we have films like this because we can't encounter those same "formulas" in real life. The true devil isn't the woman with silver hair but rather the Prada outfit she's sporting.

I might have caught a glimpse of it when I was a kid, but now that I'm rewatching it, I can understand a lot more. This movie merely scratches the surface of fashion, while it actually delves deeper into the challenges young women encounter, like work, love, and lifestyle choices. What's really intriguing is how it delicately portrays the dynamic between a female mentor and her apprentice. They're like travelers passing through each other's lives, mutually benefiting from their encounters before parting ways on their own separate journeys.

This is a genuine fashion-focused movie with a twist that takes place in the real workplace. It explores finding another path to achieving dreams, staying true to your original aspirations, the damaging impact of work on life, and having the guts to let go of what you have to chase what you truly desire. Behind those glamorous jobs, there might be intense pressures that are hard to handle. The two female leads are portrayed exceptionally well and are multi-dimensional characters. They both pretend to be strong and try to hide their vulnerabilities, while the key difference lies in whether they will go to any lengths to achieve their goals.

So, the movie's basically about Andrea trying out new stuff, figuring herself out, and becoming the person she really wants to be. And the only villain in the whole thing? Capitalism, of course: NOT MIRANDA! WE LOVE MIRANDA! Plus, Anne Hathaway totally nails the whole "bad dresser to makeover queen" thing.

Ok, this is sort of a comedy thingy that turned out to be, as we say where I'm from, an actual big-dog fight of cinema legends, old and new. Anne Hathaway was in no way overtaken by Meryl Streep, and they were able to play off of each other in a way as to deliver this film that shoots right through the sweet spot they were going for, and then some. Quotable, stylish, *a gay-arse Stanley Tucci*, even a Gisele Bündchen cameo. Literally. What the hell else?

Inspired by the editorial world of fashion industry, “The Devil Wears Prada” is known as the movie with the most expensive costumes in film history.

Meryl Streep’s outstanding performance is crucial to the success of this film, which also manages to hook us due to its funny story of self-discovery.

On the Surface, this is a movie about fashion but, deep inside, its story explores how draining the working environment can be as well as the search for what really makes us fell whole.

Esta película me genera idas y vueltas, lo que no me dejó disfrutarla.
De no estar presente el ritmo veloz y la comedia, sería muy controversial. Debido al "exitismo" que pasa por encima de las personas, a través de la humillación, no buen trato, y descarte de esas mismas personas.
Hay una frase que se repite en el film: "Millones de personas quisieran estar en tu lugar". Eso será cierto, porque esas millones no saben lo que ocurre en ese mundo o edificio que guía la moda.
Por otro lado, entiendo bien que para lograr cierto éxito, excelencia, y demás, es necesario una firmeza, una exigencia abrumadora, que para obtener algo hay que dejar algo (refiriéndome al sacrificio). ¿Pero vivir siendo una especie de esclavo? Someterse a ese grado de subordinación no es para todos/as.
Mientras más la pienso, más pensamientos debatibles se me ocurren.
En conclusión, diría que es una película que me deja opinarla, y no disfrutarla.

Parece una película simple pero contiene muchos elementos dignos de un análisis. Se habla de la presión laboral, la ambición, la influencia de la moda, etc. Todas sus capas la hacen interesante, pero con Meryl Streep, la película es increíble.

Um filme que entretém a todos para além de apenas os amantes da moda. As atuações impecáveis, roteiro perspicaz, trilha sonora cativante e um figurino e direção de arte de tirar o fôlego tornam esta obra um dos clássicos modernos.

Un villano complejo, entrañable con una interpretación que no deja nada que desear; arcos de personaje bien ejecutados, un guión meticuloso, pero lo que es más entrañable: termina siendo un icono de la representación de la moda en el cine incluso si Anna Winthour no opina precisamente lo mismo.
