Ain't No Devil Who is Wearing Prada

"They like to be us." - Miranda Priestly

The movie gives me an impression that fashionistas are sores to the world - sores in society's overly blurred eyes in seeing the real score of humanity and integrity. It may sound literally rude to put up these two things altogether, but hey let me see if I can state my point. Andrea Sachs is an epitome of a lady who just wants to be into real life adventure (think about a fresh college graduate) no matter how risky it may seem. And Miranda Priestly is a modern day Cruella de Ville, who plays as Runway chief editor or something. The movie portrays her like a little devil walking fresh here in earth - she has got all the reasons and as if the freedom to give insults and nasty comments to her subordinates. Working with her would be like Depression-era-workplace taken back from the past. Yet despite this Andy still has her grip on it as if trying never to lose grip with what seems to be the real world. But for long, she realized it was NEVER the real world after she ignored and compromised her relationships with her family and friends. It came to a point that she has to decide whether to stand up with her work ethics and her integrity. Wow! The flick was equally comical and entertaining plus with a little moral for the heart.

Yet at the end of the movie we can realize that some worst things in this life are packed in beautiful packages. Though, no matter how much you make it appear beautiful it would still remain as worst as rubbish. Life, after all, is not all of how much you did for yourself. It IS about what you did for others and society as a whole - pure truism, indeed.

But as I was thinking, given the opportunity to work in such a situation I could may have given it a slot despite the working ambiance as long as I still have in me the slightest love for whom and to what I am doing. Maybe, just like Andy even if that job would be the greatest job in the world I wouldn’t have the least pleasure to work on that for long if the most precious things in my life are slowly taken away in exchange of the luring fame and fortune ahead.

"...That's all."
