I do wonder whether or not this movie would've worked if Meryl's character was male instead of female. Also, the movie does give you some soft moments to make her a little more sympathetic than she was portrayed in the novel (or so my friend told me). While she gets less screen time in the movie, her mean looks and bitchy attitude makes her character stick with you. The movie stars Anne Hathaway, a writer who winds up applying for, and getting the second assistant position to the Editor-in-Chief of THE fashion magazine called "Runway." Her boss is played by the always fantastic Meryl Streep. My friend who saw it with me read it, and she said that the movie was pretty faithful to the book. First, I have to say that I've never read the book. I got a chance to see a sneak preview, and it was better than expected. And it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores, and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. Miranda Priestly: And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. Miranda Priestly: I think we need a jacket here. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn't it, who showed cerulean military jackets? And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. 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. You go to your closet and you select, I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. You think this has nothing to do with you. You know, I'm still learning about this stuff and, uh. both those belts look exactly the same to me.
