Paris and Prada

Well, before I watched the movie, I didn't even know the English name of this movie was "the devil wears PRADA". Just by seeing the huge poster hanging outside Gaumont, I knew it was a comedy made by Americans.
As a woman over 20 years old who loves movies and is in Paris, watching this movie will definitely be a pleasure, because there is Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and of course PRADA, CHANEL, DIOR, CK, HERMES, etc. Wait. Not to mention that this is based on the best-selling novels in the United States. Even if the plot is so bad, you can also watch it as a beauty show, an acting teaching film, and a fashion education film. So I didn't hesitate to buy a ticket as soon as I made the film, and the facts also proved that this choice is good.
As soon as Anne Hathaway appeared on the stage, I thought I was dazzled and I saw the princess in the "Princess Diaries" who was a commoner princess. Anne is indeed too classic and looks unfashionable in any way, but is this big-eyed girl like this? Like Cinderella? If so, Hollywood shouldn't be wasted, just ask her to remake Hindrella. The shaggy hair, the size-big sweater, and the two-inch shirt are just for casual lazy women like me who are too embarrassed to wear them to the HR interview of a fashion magazine. What's more, a girl who grew up in New York, graduated from a prestigious university, and was selected as an assistant by a magazine. If she is dressed like her all day long, no matter how beautiful she is, she will definitely be squeezed to death by classmates in school. The Americans will come. When you want to exaggerate, you are not at all soft about your social culture.
In contrast, Meryl Streep, with fashionable short silver hair, gold-rimmed glasses, and PRADA, is just teaching the little girls: Don’t think that youth is a lot of money, huh, women are diamonds carved by time. Have you never heard of this proverb? It means that in addition to the temperament accumulated by time, there must be a brand under the accumulation of money, otherwise it is called a diamond.
The magazine that Meryl is in charge of is called Runway, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is Vogue that can be seen in every newsstand in Paris. Who led the fashion trend? Neither Muccia Prada, John Galiano, Karl Lagerfeld or Tom Ford, but the editor-in-chief of Vogue. Every spring and autumn fashion show, Vogue said that which series is outstanding, the market of young designers is likely to rise, and that which series fails, like the Givenchy of the year, is very likely to fall off the line. This magazine really lives up to its name and has guided the fashion trends of the entire world.
So we saw this scene at the beginning. With Meryl’s footsteps, the entire magazine was in a panic, changing shoes, changing clothes, changing clothes, and putting on make-up. Make sure to organize yourself like this The insert models of magazines such as Vogue and Elle are average. In such an atmosphere, I have to say that Anne MM is indeed out of place.
Although this is not her dream work, I really wanted to say to Anne MM through the big screen: Indeed, fashion is not necessary, and fashion does not necessarily have to be specified by others, but, but, ugly Doesn't mean personality. Everyone has the heart to love beauty. They don’t know what beauty is, and they don’t want to put in the effort to create beauty. Such people obviously lack perceptual knowledge. If they are not perceptual, how can they love the world and pick up the world. Beauty, how to love words and create the beauty in the middle of the words. Such MM says that he wants to make a splash in the magazine industry. Isn't that a joke? Without PRADA, without CHANEL, this is not the point. The point is that she doesn't want to pack herself "beautiful" at all. Americans think like this, as if "different" is individuality, just like the heroine of Korean dramas must be kind and like gods and Buddhas, the heroines of American movies must also treat money as dung, what am I talking about? When it came time to make a movie, American culture suddenly changed its appearance and became-a lot of dreams. No wonder Hollywood is called the "Dream Factory". This nation is innately fond of confrontation, and it seems that it never understands what it means to be "implicit", which is why I prefer French comedies.

Of course, according to the unchanging contradiction of the film's millennium beginning -> development -> climax -> ending law, after being scolded bloody, Anne MM finally opened up, so we were very happy to see a wonderful If it weren’t for living in Paris for so long, I’d definitely be stunned and dazzled. Now I’m very interested in identifying Chanel’s boots and necklaces, Prada’s leather shoes and coats, in the beautiful long-legged MM like Anne How to match one beautiful scene after another. There is a saying in the movie that is very classic: fashion is not just those clothes and shoes, but art, and the art in which we live. These beautiful clothes can turn an ordinary girl into a work of art. This is the most fashionable The subtle place is also the mystery that makes women the happiest.
Of course, as a Hollywood light comedy, it will not allow such a "personal" MM at the beginning to sink into the happiness of an "ordinary woman", so after some struggle, Anne MM finally realized that beautiful clothes, beautiful Her shoes, expensive leather bags are not as good as her friends, family and her original dreams. So resolutely quit his job and still went to the magazine as a regular reporter. When she looked at Meryl again wearing a leather jacket and Meryl, who regarded Vogue and fashion as her life, smiled slightly, she did not change like a common tacky heroine, at best she understood. Anne also smiled lightly, but the meaning was obviously different. Because we can all see that even though she has left, it is impossible for Anne to return to the original girl who regarded the rustic as inevitable at this time. This time, the moral salvation of Hollywood's "returning to the simple and true" is not complete. Who told us to face PRADA?

This beautiful fashion show has received good reviews in other film review weekly magazines. Of course, beautiful clothes, beautiful actors, occasional jokes, and the location of Paris, for a light comedy with women as the protagonist. What can we expect from the film?
However, Premiere still insisted that he only gave two stars. The explanation for this is that as a double protagonist's favorite film, Meryl Streep has contributed too much to the film and became the soul of this film. In contrast, Anne MM's performance It appears to be without layers and thin.
For the latter argument, it is really difficult to refute. From the stubborn rebellion at the beginning, to the wholehearted fight in the middle, to the sudden and cheerfulness at the end, Anne MM has changed a lot of clothes, but it is difficult to say that it has been achieved in performance. That point. But the first point...well, we will be a little superstitious about old drama bones like Streep. In fact, more of the film, let me pay attention to the beauty of her body that has defeated the years, her short hair, Her figure, her earrings, after all, "arrogant" and "picky" may be too easy for her. When faced with the failure of the marriage again, I was still telling Anne how and how the two children were. The next second, the eyes were still red, and the focus of the topic was shifted to work. The free, unmarked Meryl and her blue eyes are undoubtedly surprising. Beauty and acting skills, for so many years, always caring for this woman, this is also the ticket price.

Meryl said in the movie: Every woman seems to become one of us. Another line that has been repeated many times is "This is the dream job of thousands of girls." Every woman who has watched this movie will probably find it hard to deny this. Just like when I watch a spring fashion show, a small flame will be ignited in my heart: I am becoming very, very, very happy. Money, and then move the whole John Galiano home. So when Anne MM decided to be himself, we could neither criticize Meryl for being Devil nor praise Anne for being Angel. Both of them gave up many things for their dreams, but their dreams were different, and there was no right or wrong. , Everyone who insists is worthy of applause.

The most important part of the film took place in Paris. The Americans speaking French is not terrible in general, which caused a lot of laughter in the cinema, but the American fascination with Paris is also obvious. America is my country, but Paris is my hometown. I said similar things when I came to Paris. People who don't like this city will never understand what is good about her, and those who fall in love with her will find many pronouns for her: humanities, fashion, freedom, and of course romance. When I ran under the iron tower at night, I ran into the tower flashing lights. This scene was also deliberately included in the movie. It was not an iron tree or a silver flower. When this big steel guy put on a rhinestone coat in the moonlight, everyone looked up. Sigh in the same tone-romantic, the Oriental Pearl Tower is not much uglier than the iron tower, and it is not clear in the dark, but when the Pearl Tower is lit, no one talks about romance, so in the end it is because of the city, except for the French Besides, everyone likes to mix a landscape propaganda film in the movie when they come here to go out.
