Stanley Tucci doesn't steal any scene he's in. A professional gift wrapper is flown in from Europe, using only the finest wrapping paper made exclusively from shaved gold. The scenes are individually wrapped and presented with the ribbons made from a silk that can only be harvested from the rarest species of caterpillar that grow in a remote Chinese village. The boxes are then neatly organized and placed in Stanley Tucci's dressing room. The Hunger Games blew half of its budget on his scenes as Caesar Flickerman alone.

I feel like in terms of acting styles, there were a few movies going on here. Stanley Tucci was in the one I most wanted to see.

@@NateSean nice..

And now there related

@@NateSean girl what

I know right, meryal streep is amazing in this character

☺😊

I want to use this line lol

Well obviously I'm going to have to do that myself because the last two girls you sent me were completely inadequate....*THATS ALL* hahaha

Actually she said “details” the “de” blends in with what Emily blunt says lol

Agreed. Some of the things that are taken as Andy being bullied by Miranda/Emily/Runway are really more Andy not taking the steps someone should take to make the best possible impression upon entering a professional field. It gets a little murky because while Miranda and Emily are both harsh and highly demanding, the areas where Andy is lacking are very much on her and not them. There's a difference between saying "okay, this is my first job in this field and it's not ideal and I don't plan to stay here" and showing up blatantly dismissive of the place you're applying. It's the same deal later on when her chore of a boyfriend is whining about the hours she's working. That's not unique to her job; that's the nature of the field she's going into.

@@amandafrazier9724 Exactly. Even worse in this situation, she was informed from day one that working for Miranda would be a stepping stone to any job she wanted, so it was even more important for her to go in with the intention of impressing and doing her best. And THANK YOU for pointing out what a tool her boyfriend was, not to mention her other friends. In the same dinner scene where they were gushing over all the expensive stuff she got for them for free, they grabbed her phone from her when her boss called and almost got her in trouble. She should have ditched them all. And she never owed her boyfriend an apology at the end. If my girlfriend was working long hours in the short-term to accomplish her long-term goal, I would be 100% supportive. And I would be proud of her.

Exactly. She's supposed to be in her early 20s. At that age, I darn well knew to show up to an interview with some knowledge of what I was applying for. More so if I was trying to be an assistant to a magazine mogul.

I have to agree with you. This scene may have been a for-telling of what is happening now. I am a GenXer looking for work, and the way people dress for interviews these days is shocking. They wear sneakers, sweat pants, hoodies, etc, all things that were unacceptable attire back in the day. I try to do my homework whenever possible. It's not always easy with Craigslist since companies posting jobs often don't state the company name, but with Indeed, there's always a name. And since when are bosses supposed to be your friend/confidant/life coach? You're there to do a job, and do it well, or go home. Like Capt. Conrad Howard said in the movie Bad Boys, "You don't like your job? Quit!"

I know I’m late. But I show this scene and the interview scene to show what NOT to do in an interview. I teach English but I also go over life skills. Yes, Emily and Miranda are cold. But you do not go into an interview expecting to get the job just because you “are a hard worker”. Nonverbal communication are also implicit: dress, attitude, posture, prior knowledge, research, vocal tone. Andy failed at ALL of these.

Well, then the humor of the scene would not have worked.

Brandon Hagan she’s from the Midwest. They are more..... honest and simple, I guess?

She wasn't supposed to be interviewed by Miranda, she was supposed to be interviewed by Emily, shown in the fact that she asked for Emily at the start of the scene.

Because she just moved here from Africa

She had an interview to be a journalist with Human Resources of the parent publisher. She was sent down by them for a secondary interview because there were only two jobs available. The more explanatory scene was deleted as unnecessary from the final film

🤣🤣🤣

you are getting more wrong about life the older you get.

@@brianp6682 you can’t make that decision for anyone but yourself

You were once probably that newbie who took an older coworkers dream as well. Comes with the employment territory and aging.

Emily lost her dream simply because she didn't care for her physical health. She got sick because her body's immune system got weakened due to her under eating. She has no one to blame but herself and deluding herself that Andrea took it away from her.

Imagine how the girls who got their asses beat by Lia Thomas feel.

ruptured a disk. What does that even mean?

Phuc Le I think it has something to do with the back. I think maybe the facialist got hurt

Actually it does fit in a way. Emily said Andrea was hopeless so based on her past record with the two previous assistants, it's plausible she would have interviewed Andrea.

Like Emily said, “god, these people...”.

@@phucle2076 it means she ruptured a disk in her back.

I agree. But seriously, I could never work for anyone who makes me THAT nervous lol

@@MsMorticia69 But if you think about it, she never tried to sabotage Andy in any way, even if she wasn't friendly. She actually did tell her what she needed to do to be a pleasing assistant to Miranda. I'd rather someone be cold to my face but tell me the truth, rather than sweet on the surface but toxic behind my back and sabotaging my efforts.

@@MsMorticia69i did…but i also respected her, because she was intelligent, and successful….

@@hanhanlon4441my last boss, retired a few months ago, covert narcissist…sweet on the surface, fake, with a knife in her hand behind her back…she basically stabbed all of eventually….she “retired” with 5 complaints registered with HR against her. i never did, i just stayed below the radar, managed to work from home 3 years before covid….i preferred my miranda!

“Are we doing a before and after piece I don’t know about?”

To think he wasn't their first choice either. He would have been my first choice, perfect 💎

I still use that quote all the time.

Craftybunny it’s a great bible scripture

To me, she was the star in this movie. Streep was great in her role, however, Emily Blunt was brilliant!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@Gary Henzler Yes, yes, yes! I've been saying this for years! :)

Same

She's the only reason why I re-watch this film every so often.

i would have never guess that was Emily Blunt, the fact she has red hair and her "bitchy" attitude in this movie made me think she was some random actress i never heard of

Lies again? PSG Receipt

​@@okami1101 😊

The tension, the drama, the humor, the power dynamics, it's all perfectly captured in this scene. It's a masterclass in acting and storytelling, and it's no wonder why "The Devil Wears Prada" is considered a classic. Watching this scene, you can't help but be drawn in and captivated by the characters and their interactions. It's a moment that showcases the brilliance of the actors and the writing, and it's definitely one of the highlights of the movie.

Stupidest thing I read today. Thanx!

The quote originally comes from the New Testament: 1 Peter 1:13 (King James Version)

I often say it at work when the big boss is about to show up 😂

HAHA ROFL!!🤣🤣🤣

And I could never work for someone under these extreme measures lol

That is scary.

Anna Wintour anyone?

That's true, I worked with one person just exactly like her.

Yeah they exist and is really a extreme sport deal with they, I hate them because you waste thinking wtf they want with a eyes blink like signal

I think she was nominated.

@@antvenom1604 She wasn't. Emily Bunt has never been nominated for an Oscar. Which is outrageous.

I absolutely agree.

@@antvenom1604 no she was not. It's a shame.

is an fun role but is not Oscar worthy.

The managing partner of a job I used to have was like that... We generally didn't speak to each other--most notably b/c she acted like it was miles beneath her to speak directly to an employee. The few times we did speak, I spoke to her exactly as I would have to most people--respectfully, but directly and with zero arse-kissing. That didn't increase her fondness for speaking to employees one bit; but, I was there for about 2 1/2 years. Lol.

Whenever I encounter people like that I usually look at them like they are nothing but a human being 😂 like I care if u are that special anyway 🙄

This is how I feel about the corporate people who occasionally grace us “regular associates” in the retail chain I work for, with their Divine Corporate Presences. The store management is all over themselves every time, smiling and deferring. I don’t get it. These people aren’t gods. They do not care about any of us, except as a means to an end that they hope will serve themselves. They greet us minimum wage folks with a palpable brand of cheery bonhomie that I find discomfiting, not disarming. And we’re all supposed to pretend it’s sincere friendliness and that we’re all on some kind of “team”, when the truth is, the goal is, and always has been, to enrich the bank accounts of a few already wealthy people, while exchanging as little as possible with either us workers or the customers, as possible.

Haha you just described North Korea.

It's important to work in a positive and respectful environment where everyone is valued and treated equally. No one should have to feel like they are walking on eggshells or constantly stressed out because of one person's ego. It's not healthy or sustainable in the long run. It's important to stand up for yourself and not tolerate toxic behavior in the workplace. Life is too short to be constantly feeling anxious or unhappy. It's better to find a work environment where you are appreciated and respected for who you are.

Rebekah Joy Hawthorne Same. I remember thinking even then that this new British gal was stealing the film from two A Listers.

Whos your man crush

@@chinchy111 Yul Brenner (deceased) any one if the Hemswoth brothers (living)

What does it matter if it’s a man or a woman? Just say she’s your crush.

@@chinchy111 Currently Benedict Cumberbatch and Harold Lloyd.

It's such a funny and iconic moment that really showcases Nigel's witty and commanding personality. Plus, it sets the tone for the rest of the movie and gets everyone ready to tackle whatever challenges come their way. It's a great reminder to always be prepared and ready for anything, no matter how unexpected it may be.

. Miranda may have initially been put off by the lack of preparation, but she could also see the authenticity and honesty in the candidate. Sometimes, those qualities can be even more important than having all the right answers. It's possible that Miranda saw potential in this candidate and respected their genuine approach to the interview. In the end, being true to oneself can go a long way in making a lasting impression.

In the book, Andy didn't know she was going to be interviewed for Runway magazine. She was brought into Runway in the last minute and was told she'll meet Miranda's assistant which she has no knowledge about. I wish they did the same for the movie because it would totally justify why Andy has no preparation for the interview.

@@Miumiu0404 Maybe they hint at that when Emily Blunt's character says "Human Resources certainly has an odd sense of humor"? I haven't read the book though, so I'm not very sure.

@@Miumiu0404 if you have to explain what happened in the book to fill in illogical gaps in the movie, it is just sad writing. In the movie, we are supposed to feel empathy for Andy just because she’s the lead. She says in the interview that this positioning is better than some other opportunity she didn’t want. Her hair is a mess as well. She only gets the job because she’s spunk and she does make the best of it, until she foolishly throws it away at the end. But the writers failed this scene.

They cut the scene that showed the scene from the book.

​@arvindhmani06 the book is so much better than the movie. Which is saying a lot since this is one of my favorite movies

Nah. Rachel has a very confident look. I cant imagine Rachel ever looking sad or pathetic.

Agree

Anne Hathaway has that innocent, goodwill, look/quality. ( But those when they break loose it can get wild). Rachel Mcdams would've been a surprise. Seeing Actors/Actresses in roles that are opposite of their usual is amazing. it also shows their brilliantly work.

I love how this is so well written.

If Andi had that description of the leading lady of a chick flick; she could have been played by Reese Witherspoon.

a good boss also knows it's unrealistic to expect everyone to be performing on 100% all the time.

@@sashkad9246 I have friends who work for overseas companies, and they do expect 100% all the time. The management also expected to put in more time than employees

She’s not a good leader by any stretch of the imagination.

I’m she’s a narcissist in disguise 😅

It's an interesting switch. The original novel this film is based on was much more scathing of "Miranda" (who is a stand-in character for Anna Wintour, and "Runway" is a stand-in fake magazine for "Vogue.") It blatantly states that Miranda was never caught dead doing anything that could remotely be considered work by the average person. However, Meryl Streep and the directors decided to soften on Miranda and gave her several moments of intelligence, quick memory recall, and a keen intuition that both protected her and helped keep the magazine at a very high standard.

in the book she applied with the parent publisher. there were two jobs available and she had no clue where. she was sent down for a second interview - it was either runway or autoworld. at runway, emily was her contact, not miranda.

@@itney2756 Back in the eighties and nineties there were interviews with HR and many times they would directly send you to interview with the department on the same day. Outside of knowing the parent company, most people did not have the luxury of looking up the actual boss. This was done mostly at very large companies.

@@ColinYapp Working Girl is a good example of this.

It’s because not only is she smart, but she’s arrogant about it. She knows everything about ´smart’ except how to be smart at a fashion magazine.

Ultimately, Miranda decided to give the candidate a chance and hired them based on their potential and genuine attitude. The candidate may have had a rocky start, but their authenticity and honesty won Miranda over in the end. This serves as a reminder that sometimes, being true to yourself and showing your true colors can make all the difference in landing a job. It goes to show that being prepared is important, but being genuine and authentic can also make a strong impact during interviews.

That's why she has a million Oscars.

@@monicavillarreal3902You’re not a Meryl Streep fan, are you? She has 3. Only 3 out of 21 nominations. It’s the running joke at almost every Oscar ceremony.

the way her glasses dropped from her finger after taking them off her face is a measure of how well rehearsed her twenty seconds of screen time were

I completely agree! Meryl Streep is truly a master at her craft. Every gesture, expression, and movement she makes on screen is so incredibly nuanced and powerful. She truly is the queen of acting and always delivers a captivating performance.

Ur justifying an abusive boss? Naw, this lady needs to be reported

This is an amazing break down of the movie! Mad respect! I’m looking at this film through new eyes now.

. It highlights the importance of not judging someone based on superficial qualities and shows that Miranda values substance and potential over outward appearances. It also sets up an interesting dynamic between Emily and Andy, as Emily’s arrogance and entitlement are challenged by Andy’s hard work and determination. It will be interesting to see how their relationship develops throughout the movie and if Emily learns any valuable lessons from her interactions with Andy.

eh... then they all sucked. high performers attract other high performances and even this type of boss will show more value to a high value subordinate.

Nah this sets up the premise that Emily isn't great at her job. Hence she and hired crap people. It's worked on later when Andy surpasses her. Emily was more interested in their appearance than their resume or personal attributes. Clothes can be changed but innovation less so

It's definitely a common issue in the workplace. When employees are constantly pushed to their limits and not given the support they need, they can become burned out and eventually leave. This high turnover can lead to decreased morale, productivity, and overall success of the company. It's important for employers to recognize the signs of burnout and take steps to create a positive and sustainable work environment for their employees.

Just Leo Yaaaaaaaaas

Okay

yes. absolutely.

She's used to people fawning all over her. Here's a girl who will tell her no and offer other ideas

Wonder if the fashion industry is still the same after 17-18 years. I’m guessing it’s way more niche oriented and fashion mags even online don’t matter much these days. I know several very stylish women and none of them pay the slightest attention to Vogue even existing.

Yeah…. These are no longer the “gatekeepers”…. With social media and influencers…..
