Reflections on the novel Fashion Devil.

one

The role of Andrea makes people feel real. It feels like you and I live nearby, or-just yourself. Will be affected by the surrounding environment, and then change their original self, but unaware that they have changed, in fact, this book can really explore a lot; At first, the person who interviewed Andrea when applying for the job said that if she didn't come to do the job, others would want to get the job more, but I think besides my desire to get the job, my own ability is also very important. Although I said to start looking at academic qualifications, attitude and ability at work are more important. Although Miranda made many unreasonable demands on Andrea, from another perspective, these trials also taught Andrea a lot. Others, such as how to make a balanced distribution between work and private time, are not easy. I think what I admire most about Andrea is her courage to finally choose to leave this job that everyone admires. Even though she will be laughed at, she still persists in her determination to fulfill her original dream. I don't think everyone has the courage and strength to bid farewell to such a charming world. Gorgeous clothes, endless parties, opportunities to meet celebrities and shine in the fashion circle are such a rare opportunity for some people who have great enthusiasm for fashion. For Andrea, giving up this job just to be a small columnist may get angry and call names, but it's really amazing that someone can stick to himself in this way.

The book The Devil in Prada was also made into a movie. Most of the narrative in the book focuses on the life of Ann Delia, the feelings of people around her and her experiences in Project Bridge. Andrea, played by Anne Hathaway in the movie, feels smarter than in the book, and also focuses on Andrea's changes and mental journey on the runway. Once I saw a behind-the-scenes special of a devil wearing Prada, Anne Hathaway said from Andrea's point of view, "Maybe you have fantasized about saving the world and making it a better place, but you will find that maybe the world doesn't want to be saved, and you have to rethink your own value. I think this sentence is really reasonable, but what's next? Some people choose to integrate into this world, while others, like Andrea, choose to leave such a frenzied world. For the role of Miranda played by Meryl Streep, compared with the bad guy style in the book, the film focuses on depicting her personal feelings. In the last part of the fashion party, Miranda showed Andrea her fragile side, and Andrea saw the other side of her boss who he thought was ruthless. She suddenly felt that his boss was actually very pitiful. People only saw his success, but under his success, no one asked him what he had lost. No matter what you want, equal sacrifice is necessary. With the success of Miranda's career, he sacrificed his time with his family and the intimate interaction between people. After reading this book, I can't help thinking, if I were Ann Delia, in such a prosperous world, would I choose to be myself or indulge in that beautiful world?

Review of the movie The Devil in Prada

Because of my friend's recommendation, I watched a movie "The Devil in PRADA" these days, and I also had some small feelings when I saw the fashion.

What is fashion? I believe that when Miranda snickered at Andrea's two blue belts, two belts similar to our ordinary tires, silent teaching was the most appropriate.

Fashion determines your life, and everyone is a part of fashion. In a materialistic society, you and I are trapped in it and can't jump out.

I was speechless at that time. To be honest, I didn't see much difference between those two belts. Deeply educated by tradition, I have never set foot in fashion for many years. There are many reasons, but what about the future? Should I learn to savor life instead of living it for more than 20 years? Learn more. There's still a lot for me to learn in society. Take your time. . . But savoring life is definitely not a luxury and waste!

At first glance, this movie is a bit like Cinderella's story. Andrea, a newly graduated college student, was hired as an assistant editor by a famous fashion magazine, but she didn't adapt to the environment here. Finally, she changed to prove her ability, but lost her original life because of the change, and saw the ugly and fragile side of the people at the top of the pyramid at work. Finally, I returned to my original life and found my place. However, the final return is not everyone's choice in reality. Although there is a dark reality hidden under the surface of the scenery, there are several demons who are not wearing PRADA who are struggling in society. Maybe they are demons who wear Dior and Chanel, but no matter what they wear, they all play the role of demons in reality.

In the end, when the heroine saw through the plot and pushed open the other car door, she also chose another life. And who can guarantee how many people in reality will not make such a choice? Maybe they will become another demon, because this is the real life.

We may all have lost ourselves for others, but as long as there is sincerity in our hearts, we will get it back one day.

The contest between the heroine and another assistant editor-in-chief in the workplace also made me understand a truth-everything in the workplace seems to have no morality in front of interests. However, although the opponent is often the enemy, it is the opponent who is unforgettable. I think this should be the helplessness of seeking defeat alone.

Finally, to borrow a passage-if you just want to see a wonderful fashion show, don't miss this movie, because it has unprecedented complexity and brilliance; If you want to sweep away all the imbalance and stagnation in the workplace at a slightly tired moment, you will see a figure you dare not expect in this movie, because she is the absolute height that your personal dream can carry, and you have been pursuing that kind of free and easy and revealing untrue persistence; And if you just want to explore the beauty and graceful posture, you can't miss this ubiquitous visual spectacle.

At the end of David Frank's American drama The Devil Wearing Prada, Andrea resigned from the attractive position of Miranda, the editor-in-chief of the top fashion magazine Project Bridge, and applied for a job in a newspaper, realizing her dream of becoming a reporter. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper has just received a fax from Miranda. She said, "Of all her assistants, Andrea is by far the most disappointing one. If the newspaper editor doesn't hire Andrea, it will be the biggest one.

Many American TV dramas and movies often bring people deep aftertaste. From those ideological styles that are both reasonable and detailed, humorous and enlightening, the audience really realized the height of American film art, and the in-depth interpretation of human nature in American films has become the most touching force for the audience-human nature has no borders, and American film art has also gone to the world.

"Two-thirds Devil of Fashion" shows us the conflict and interaction between Miranda, a big figure in fashion circle, and Andrea, her work assistant. At the same time, the conflict and interaction between Andrea and her boyfriend, colleagues and friends are interspersed in a narrative way, laying the foundation for the climax of the last third of the film. Miranda's life is extravagant and exaggerated. Miranda threw herself into her work and forgot everything. Miranda bossed Andrea around, condescending, and even turned a blind eye-she seemed to regard Andrea as a "robot", but when Andrea offended herself, she remembered to give her more impossible tasks-to take mental revenge. All these strengthen Miranda's image as a "strong woman" and "overbearing feminist". While she tortured Andrea with the cold pressure at work, she gradually began to change her life. Andrea is getting used to being a vassal of Miranda. She has no freedom and can be on call. Although she gained status, enjoyment, luxury, flowers and aura, she also lost her independence, freedom of time and even purity.

Andrea's adaptation to Miranda's demands also means losing her independence and self. As Miranda's "vassal", she must always cope with all kinds of difficult, sudden and arduous new tasks, must sacrifice her boyfriend's birthday time to accompany Miranda, and must spend the whole night reciting guest information before Miranda attends a luxury party, so as to remind Miranda who wants to shake her hand at the party in time. . . . . .

Just when everything seemed ready, a final conflict forced Andrea to choose between independence, freedom and prosperity. In Miranda and Andrea's fashion activities in Paris, France, the combination of interests and power pushed the hard disk to a climax. In order to protect her position in Tianqiao magazine, Miranda had a showdown with the boss of Tianqiao magazine, threatening to take a large number of business backbones to start a business once she changed the editor-in-chief, and at the same time recommending someone who might replace herself to another attractive position-although she had promised to recommend him to one of her most effective deputies in advance, she chose to break her word to protect herself. As a result, Miranda defended her rights and thanked Andrea for kindly and recklessly informing her in advance that she might be replaced. She thought Andrea was a person very similar to herself, but Andrea, who witnessed all this, could not agree with Miranda's point of view at last-she saw the conspiracy, betrayal, indifference and degeneration behind the so-called luxury fashion circle, and she was determined to leave Miranda, leave the life that had lost her, and save her love with her boyfriend.

I was even more shocked by Meryl Streep's performance of Miranda. She was absorbed in her work and neglected others, life and the outside world, which led her into a highly egoistic "astray". But the film also reminds us to question the ambiguity of "going astray": if Miranda does cause emotional imbalance from the perspective of colleagues and family, then she is a typical self-centered strong woman; From the perspective of career and fashion, Miranda really triggered a fashion storm that lasted for many years. With her persistent, selfless and selfless investment, she actually created the value entrusted to human beings. Miranda is closer to a contradictory figure who wanders and struggles between career and life, honesty and conspiracy, emotion and indifference, and self and others. She finally succeeded in maintaining her power and status, but failed to close a road of redemption that allowed her to return to humanity. After watching this movie, some people who really think deeply will be confused or even confused, because besides the theme of advocating free life and independent personality, there is also a vague theme of professional supremacy-in fact, the movie didn't really try to shape Miranda into an ugly "devil wears Prada", at least after watching it completely, we won't find Miranda very annoying, at least I even have some appreciation and envy for her individualism.

The devil in fashion leads people to think about life, career, love and friendship with relaxed plots, and will not lead people to think about individualism, feminism, liberalism and money worship in an understatement. Profound ideological connotation is the eternal theme of film art. What we can feel from American films is not only the ideological tension, but also that these wonderful effects are accompanied by such natural and unpretentious expressions, and the infiltration and impression of ideological connotation on the audience is so natural and intangible.

"Non-fashionistas refuse to watch this movie" is an important reason that attracts me. In addition, the two heroines in this film are also my favorites. One is beautiful Anne Hathaway, and the other is Meryl Streep from the Academy of Performing Arts. So I saw this movie for the first time.

This film adapted from lauren weisberger's novel of the same name is like a fashion dinner or a dramatic version of Milan Fashion Week, teaching women the feminist dogma that only wearing high heels can put the earth and men under their feet ... This is fashion, not a movie. To put it more popularly, it is a movie in which a native chicken becomes a phoenix and Cinderella becomes Snow White. But after reading it, it is still worth thinking about.

What impressed me the most was the editor-in-chief of Outbreak, a fashionable figure. Miranda's influence in fashion has reached a far-reaching level. Judging from her appearance, everyone stayed away from her ... but when she finally decided to divorce her husband in Paris, that kind of old, helpless and fragile told me that she was still a woman ... In fact, the Iron Lady also had a woman's side in her heart. Ordinary is what she wants. But people can't help themselves in the Jianghu. She is already a member of this circle, and she can't quit, and she is not allowed to quit. So when she met Andy again, she got into the car without saying a word with a straight face, then took off her glasses, smiled in the direction where Andy left, put on Dior glasses again and whispered to the driver, "Go!" I saw her happy and comforted Andy to finally understand what the goal of life is. Actually, it was her own dream, and Andy helped her realize it. ......

Ordinary and true is the true meaning of life.
