10 Point of “The Devil Wears Prada” (Film)
The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 comedy-drama film, a loose screen adaptation of Weinberger’s 2003novel of the same name. It stars Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs, a college graduate who goes to New York City and gets a job as a co-assistant to powerful fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Strep. Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci co-star, as co-assistant Emily Charlton, and Art Director Nigel, respectively.

1. The devil wears Prada means that the devil can come in any form and not just the ugly scary version we all expect. He can come as a well dressed good looking person and fool anybody into doing whatever he wants.
2. Prada is an upscale clothing designer. Apparently, she is a difficult person. Therefore, Ann Winter (The Devil) wears Prada clothing.
3. The Devil Wears Prada is two films in one: a caustic, energetic satire of the fashion world and a cautionary melodrama.
4. An ironic measure of the film's research into the fashion-magazine scene is the fact that there's almost no journalism in it.
5. Fashion is designed to have you buy something that has the predetermined shelf life of cottage cheese.
6. That a designer will put a fashion combination on a cover of a magazine that you would never dream of coupling together.
7. That people can pay all too much money for a handbag - after all it is just something to put "stuff" into. Well, just think of a purse is another opportunity to be mismatched with your shoes.
8. Real women will die wearing high heals that are high enough to give you a nose bleed.
9. Even designers have off days, and seasons for that matter. Learn how to just walk away from anything you can't describe what color it is.
10. I believe that one of Hathaway's dresses could best be described as the color of thawing frozen spinach.

    The shoes emerge as an unimportant object with the boy, but it actually has two levels of symbolisms. It has the meaning of wonder, hope and confidence.

    Kayla Winsett Professor Debbie Hunt Comp II September 19th, 2012 “Becoming the Red Dress” ! In the poem, “What Do Women Want?” by Kim Addonizio, the author conveys the thoughts of a woman who wants to don a dress, no matter what the thoughts of those around her are. The woman in the poem wants to be seen as confident and strong. In the poem, the writer says she wants a “red dress” (line 1), and that she wants it to be “flimsy and cheap” (line 2). This gives the reader the idea of exactly what kind of dress she wants. She states that she “want(s) it too tight/I want to wear it until someone tears it off me” (line 3-4). The writer is stating that she wants to the dress to bring attention to her in ways that she may be yearning for. The writer goes on to say that she wants to walk through town in the dress past all the places she normally visits, gaining the attention of people she may know (line 7-13). “I want to walk like Iʼm the only/woman on earth and I can have my pick.” (line 14-15), meaning she wants to have the dress bring such confidence to herself that she feels on top of the world. “I want that red dress bad/I want it to confirm/your worst fears about me” (line 16-17) once again proves how little the author cares what other around her think. She wants the dress to bring about a persona of her that others may have not thought before. She then states she wants the dress “to show you how little I care about you/or anything except what/I want. (line 18-20). She wants to be known as a whole new person, even if that person may not be the best impression to others. The author then goes on to say, “When I find it, Iʼll pull that garment/from its hanger like Iʼm choosing a body/to carry me into this world (line 20-22). The author express how she wants the dress to show indefinitely who she has become and who she wants to be known as. She is showing the world her actual self and she can finally be free in her own skin. “Through the birth-cries and the love-cries too/and…

    Imagine a 25 – 49 year old woman – the professional woman whose style is effortless and chic, she’s not afraid to play it down a little and opt for jeans on the weekend. That is your average Harper’s Bazaar reader. Now, think of the woman who is racy, she chooses pumps over flats, and she is between the ages of 25 to 34 years old – she is most likely an avid Vogue reader. Although these target readers seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum, both of the magazines that they read are strikingly similar, with minor differences.…
