The Devil Wears Prada certainly has not dulled my appetite.It is a comedy-drama film,a loose screen adaption of Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel of the same name.Despite of the critical reaction to the film as a whole was more mesuared,it still received a commercial success and won lots of ward nominations .Apart from the cascade of stars the very pretty Anne Hathaway,the always surperb Meryl Streep and the amazing co-star Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci ,the film’s another bright spot is their costume,as many designers did allow their clothes and accessories to be used in the film making it the most expensivly-costumed film in history.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The best thing about the film is the demanding, icy,career-obsessed Miranda who is editor-in chief of Runway Magzine.She not only demands absolutely obedience from her subodinates but also comands eccentric and humilitaing requests sometimes.To make it more intimidating,she never raises her voice above speaking level .

 

Yet the plot contrives to create a complex but true character hence the Miranda’s vulnerability scene is inevitable,  leaving the audience a feeling of empathy.Then we see the compromises she has to make to get to the top and we see the effect on her personal life of these compromises.It’s toil to survive in a cut-throat competion,especielly for a woman.A eventual divorce was what she paid for work,Miranda let down her guards for the first time,tears warming her eyes.

PS:Of course here,I’m not again taking this chance to remind you the dilemma a woman will be confronted in her carreer persuit after marrige.But I do want to warn every aspiring young girls to be prudent of marrige.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You must think this following questions over and over and over:

Have you kown what familiy is about?

Have you been prepared for the responsibility you have to shoulder for your familiy even at the sacrifice of your career?

Have you been prepared for those unwanted compromises?

Perhaps somenone maybe give this answer:

Compromise,this is what we are always making till the end of life…

Austen is one of the most influential and revered novelists of the early nineteenth century and her social commentary is marked with a strong sense of irony

 

Becoming Jane is a fictional depiction of Austern’s young adult life before her novel writing career . The essence of the story is the mores of proper English society around 1800. Woman had their place. And that place was to give oneself to an arranged marriage and become a dutiful wife and mother. While Jane has spunk and smarts and a stubbornness to live her own life as she sees fit.

 

 

The story does take a few flights of somewhat dubious fancy in speculating on her relationship with the real Mr Darcy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tom Lefroy,the “Darcy”in the movie, is a penniless, charming, intelligent, apprentice lawyer. He also loves boxing, drinking and the fairer sex. These latter hobbies, mind you, do not endear him to his uncle, the imperious Judge Langlois, who promptly sentences him to a summer in Hampshire as punishment. In a rustic backdrop of dancing and match-making, Jane and Tom develop a teasing, flirtatious rapport. Unlike the other men in her life, Tom presents Jane with intellectual company as well as dashing good looks and a flair for the odd chat-up.

 

 

 

Like the bristling dynamics between Elizabeth Bennett and Mr Darcy in Pride & Prejudice, Jane and Lefroy engage in a battle of wits and witticisms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The film gathers pace when Jane trembles, wondering if she has done it well after her first adult kiss. We are drawn into an emotional cat and mouse at the same time.

 

 

 

Circumstances contrive to keep Jane and Tom apart .It’s a natural and inevitable shift.Perhaps this is the plot contrived to tell–love will be the destined to a failure if reality gives no permisson.

 

PS: It’s just that delusion for love keep people going after love.Saddly,when confronted by reality ,love dies with delusion.

Who can conquer the invasion of time?

Or be exactly,it’s time that will always be the winner.

If ,you have the same spunk and smarts as Jane.Perhaps you could be her.

If not ,

Then chose to be ordinary…
