Looking back now, it looks really classic

What happened to the popcorn? Can't popcorn be a classic?

From the inside to the outside-from the heroines' outfits to the plot concept-even after ten years, it is not outdated at all. However, from "Little Times" to "Tokyo Women's Illustrated Book", later works that pay tribute to the film abound. Yang Mi fell to the glamorous office with many models, and raised his head to give an angle of looking up. His face was full of ignorance that was inconsistent with the real person and its shameless appearance; An Nai Sang muffled and frustrated to the camera, describing the already excellent Aya as one. A salary thief who is so shameless that the latter can only make promises and repeat words like "I'm sorry" at a loss.

Familiar scenes reappear time and time again. Or in other words, the theorems shown in "The Queen Wearing Prada" are actually universal theorems.

Let me talk about clothes first. I don't know anything about HF, and I don't wear it well, so I won't say a few words.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is "good-looking + classic style + in line with the identity and temperament". I personally think that movie costumes can achieve these three points is very good. After changing his face, Andy should not be too successful in the series of dress-changing shows on the street. The length of the whole process should be perfect and the color matching is wide and there is no sense of contradiction. The two dresses that have participated in the charity party and the Paris celebration party are both beautiful and completely consistent with her own temperament-the former is all black, the latter seems to be a set of LV dark green + black (If you remember correctly, Li Jiaxin is on the cover of COSMO It also matches with her own bright colors (black hair, white skin, red lips); although there are differences in styles, there are also common points: small lace (young and playful), large V-neck (protruding the shoulder and neck curve + white Skin), waist (the actor's own big breasted waist and hourglass figure), I personally find it very dazzling.

The Queen will not say anything. . . Flicking the fur for N times and sticking out the burgundy high heels of the car are quite classic. I have no right to say anything else. . .

In fact, the important thing is the plot. Young girls watching this film, or many half have to substitute themselves into Andy's perspective. But after working hard and crying and finally gaining a place in the workplace, I think that Miranda is the right way. Like the original work "The Princess Diaries", Anne Hathaway played a pure and innocent white rabbit from the beginning, but the reality gave a clear and resounding slap in the mouth of her boyfriend-where is no choice? It's just that I don't want to choose. In the face of the "experience" of promotion and the "insights" of Yixiang Temple, she has already made a choice without hesitation. It's just because the skin is still thin and the heart is still shy, so I have to show reluctance and push responsibility and fault on others.

If it sounds good, it will make you enterprising; if it sounds bad, it will probably mean you can’t stand the temptation. Putting it on the Internet, where I love labeling, this is a model of green tea.

In other words, I was injured after a car accident. Emily, who was lying on the hospital bed, would probably shout "get out" when facing the heroine's pitiful explanation. Really-there is no practical help to improve the results, just to reduce self-guilt, what use does it sound? What's more, "You always pretend that you don't care about it." Emily's words are sharp, but they are also smashed into it: admit it, from the moment you put on Jimmy Choo high heels, you have already compromised.

Andy finally chose the rapids to retreat, and she believed that there was still a fundamental difference between herself and Miranda. But this is only a movie. You and I have to admit that in reality, most of the parties were willingly assimilated in the end—become a member of whom they once disagreed, even sympathized, and disgusted, and firmly believed that this was the best. of. But this is actually a paradox: it’s hard to say if Andy can successfully find a satisfactory newspaper job without this hard experience beyond imagination, whether he can get the affirmation of his new boss so quickly, and whether he can have a good future with him. Have a clearer understanding of dreams? The only thing that is certain is that she is already regarded as the best among women of the same age-after all, not every female college student with a full face can win in the editorial department of fashion magazines, and not all subordinates can overcome interests and emotions with emotion. Reasonably, he made a different voice against his boss.

So the words come back again. Regardless of "The Princess Diaries" or "The Queen Wearing Prada", Anne Hathaway's role is actually the same as Stephen Chow in films such as "A Westward Journey" and "Kung Fu": the protagonist has never been an ugly duckling, but God has already advanced The doomed white swan.

Having said that, will we be a little frustrated as the audience?

In addition to peeking into the "fashion circle", another remarkable thing is that the film's description of professional women is actually very good. Although the list of "impossible tasks" arranged by Miranda for Andy is a bit exaggerated, the details are very easy to make real female white-collar workers sit in the seat-have you been forced to abandon yourself because of your work Private life? Do you have a moment when you are one step away from your dream but fall back to the original point? Have you ever endured a lot of humiliation but no one can tell? ...... All have been restored one by one in the film. And the most enduring paragraph is Andy's evaluation of Miranda:

"If she was a man, you wouldn't care about these lace news, but instead pay attention to her excellent work ability."

—— Feminism is getting more and more attention today, I wonder if this sentence will make the girls who are struggling on the front line feel happy?

I almost never discuss feminism with anyone. The reason is simple: firstly, because everyone is neither male nor female, it is difficult to stay objective in it. Secondly, this issue is too complicated. How can I be able to explain it in a few words. The same is true in this movie. As a popcorn film, "The Queen Wearing Prada", it is naturally impossible to talk about feminism and feminism like "The Moment" and other literary films. It can only be in the present. Some plots give a drastic summary. Regardless of the happy Hollywood comedy ending, for most of the film, the situation of professional women is embarrassing.

On the one hand, they continue to make things difficult, crush, and repel each other, but on the other hand, they share the same boat and sympathize with each other from the bottom of their hearts. Almost all male workers are excluded from "true feelings", except for our bald design director-don't tell me he is not gay-there is no derogatory meaning, just this kind of arrangement, will it not make people feel that they have ulterior motives? ?

In the end, although Miranda, Emily, and Andy parted ways, they perfectly reached mutual understanding and affirmation. In contrast, the identities of boyfriend and playboy writer are still like innocent outsiders: for the former, unless women give up more busy and more stressful jobs, they cannot reconcile; for the latter, it is Not to mention the true feelings, let alone the "superwoman" represented by Miranda behind the scenes. In the face of "work" and "personal relationship", the conflict between men and women has not yet been resolved-Miranda still divorced, Andy still resigned. What if you want both? What if the person involved is a man?

When I first watched this film ten years ago, I was a teenage girl with yellow hair. I just feel that feasting, happy and enmity are all things that I yearn for, and often give people such associations as "the ugly duckling turns into a swan" or "dreams will eventually come true." Looking at it again ten years later, my mood is no longer as naive as it was at the beginning, but I still agree that this is a good movie, and I once again dig out more thoughts and gains I want in it. Everyone will grow up, right? It is precisely because of this that the "classic" appears to be valuable-those things that have been proven to be "good-looking" and "reasonable" through persistence from beginning to end, this is how they come.

    Bad actors create unbelievable and annoying images; good actors create credible or charming images; great actors create credible and charming images; Meryl Streep uses magic to create far more than prototypes An image that is so fascinating that it is impossible to exist in this world but still makes you believe that it can exist.

    It has nothing to do with fashion, this is a story about getting lost and finding yourself. After being flashy, I followed my heart and returned to life and firmed my ideals (but to be honest, I still like the changed heroine)

The Devil Wears Prada quotes

  • Nigel: There's a scale. One nod is good, two nods is very good. There's only be one actual smile on record and that was Tom Ford in 2001. If she doesn't like it she shakes her head. Then of course there's the pursing of the lips.

    Andy Sachs: Which means?

    Nigel: Catastrophe.

  • Nigel: [Nigel holds up a pair of fashionable high heels] I guessed an 8 and a half.

    Andy Sachs: I don't need those. Miranda hired me. She knows what I look like.

    Nigel: Do you?
