One particularly odious example occurs when Miranda asks Andy to find the dresser she’d seen at an antique store earlier that month. She doesn’t bother to learn or remember anyone’s name, she expects people to drop everything to serve her, and she tolerates no incompetence, either real or imagined. What, she thinks, gives Miranda the right to treat everyone like dirt? What is so unbelievably special about being able to pick just the right outfit? And Miranda really IS unbearable, calling constantly, day and night, asking for the most ridiculous and impossible things. Andy, on the other hand, thinks all these fashion obsessed people are unspeakably stupid and shallow and finds Miranda unbearable. Of course, everyone takes their jobs very seriously at “Runway” and worships Miranda, even though she’s HORRIBLE to everyone. There doesn’t appear to be much writing opportunities at the job, but Andy takes it because, one, she has no other offers, and two, after a year she will, supposedly, be able to get any job, anywhere, writing anything. Finally, she lands a job at “Runway” Magazine working as an assistant to its world-famous editor, Miranda Priestley, who, much to everyone’s disgust, Andy has never heard of.
She wants to write, of course, and “The New Yorker” would be her first pick, but certainly that’s not really an option for a recent grad. If you have somehow managed to miss every iota of news about the movie, the basic plot follows Andy (Andrea) who has recently graduated from college in journalism and now is looking for a job in New York City. THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA BY LAUREN WEISBERGER With this said, I felt that The Devil Wears Prada was far superior in movie form than in book form. Even good movie versions of books are rarely equal to their books I loved the 1994 version of “Little Women” with Winona Ryder and Christian Bale, but even then I still preferred the book. I hate watching a good book butchered by a movie adaptation ( Ella Enchanted may well be one of the most heinous crimes). In most cases, I believe that a book is better than its movie counterpart.
