Last winter, when I was having the hardest time finding a job, I watched this film - "The Devil Wears Prada" (aka "The Devil Wears Fashion"). What I do know is that it is a commercial, non-commercial film about the working modalities of an authoritative female editor of a fashion magazine, written by her former assistant.
Probably a little bit of privacy. But I still get a lot of inspiration from it, such as from the acceptance of feminism to people, the independent spirit of women, people's views on strong women, to the definition, meaning and impact of fashion.
Of course, as a graduating college student, the biggest influence is on the heroine's work attitude in a rather harsh environment. Let’s talk about feminism first. Traditionally, women should be gentle, considerate, and thrifty at home. Her subtext is that, no matter from which point of view, whether a woman is excellent or not is judged by a man's vision and standards. Even in such an increasingly open world and a city that is so inclusive, people can still accept that men are rambunctious, but they cannot tolerate women being so domineering in their careers! The accepted standard of a good woman never includes a woman's higher career and status.
The female devil in the film is such a domineering person, who is alone in this industry worth hundreds of millions of dollars, manipulating the fate of a large number of stars and people in the upper class. She can make you famous overnight or discredit you instantly. She's probably the most feminist of the bunch. Cold, white hair and a lot of clothes show her unique status; Zhang Yang, who wants the wind and the rain, even allows her to compete with her without an opponent; being picky, you can understand that she is not good at work She has to be conscientious and responsible, which can also be understood as a manifestation of her queen's temperament; inhumane, making the little assistant who made mistakes find an almost impossible task after all the hard work - after the unpublished "Harry Potter" , actually only throws out the sentence "how can two children read a book together". . . . . . Such examples are numerous.
People probably keep away from her because of this, walking, going to work, and even avoiding the elevator. In the film, the director treated it as a scene like seeing the god of plague. People had to prepare everything before she came, even her three meals. For those who were abandoned by her, those who could not stand up in the fashion industry without her recommendation (to get her admiration is to be affirmed by the fashion industry), and to those who had been framed by her, she was simply a woman Devil. People's hatred and rejection of her gradually turned into suspicion of her, imagining that she must be a person with an unsatisfactory family life. Her private life is like a Hollywood movie, radiant but without any vitality and warmth. This is probably the reason why women and their sour grapes are at fault. She is so strong, how could she be a normal woman. With such a temper, how can there be a good relationship.
People can't raise their opinions about her, so there is suspicion. And her unhappy marriage seems to reflect this, so, by her side, reputation, status, lies, rumors coexist, and they go hand in hand. People are often unacceptable to strong women, or psychological factors are at play. To my surprise, today in the 21st century, in a city like New York, people's acceptance of women's independence is still limited in some respects! In addition, this is a story about fashion. In this film, while creating a female devil, it also shows some of the glamorous and disgraceful things behind the fashion. This is what the little assistant who accidentally stepped into the fashion circle told us. Because of her love for her work, she is determined to devote herself to her work, and she also accepts the different tastes in this circle. She has changed her image. There are several flashbacks in the film, which are very interesting. The heroine wears different brand combinations, making herself look more integrated with the work team, and her boss, the devil and all the others. The audience lit up. Since then, the job has accepted her, and she has accepted the job. Seeing this, I think I have gained a lot. Once upon a time, I also felt that a person's job was so difficult to find, so don't be picky, find a job first and then choose a career, and find someone who can support yourself. However, even if you don't have requirements, but the job requires you, no matter what you do, you should be proactive and integrate into the environment. Although you don't deliberately, when you seem so out of place, I'm afraid you still can't do it. of. In the final analysis, only if you love the job, you will appear harmonious, and you will have the opportunity to work for a long time, right? This is the inspiration given to me in the first half of the film, but when Eddie chose to leave, because she knew that her interest was not in this industry, I understood that people still have to find their own direction, have their own goals, find After the chance to survive, what you really want to do is what you can do in your life. Of course, that's another story.
The other protagonist of the film shows us a girl from a small town who has never been in touch with fashion and came to New York to find a job to meet the rent and survive for herself and her boyfriend. How to face the sudden blow, setback, and strangeness The determination, composure, and courage shown in the environment. Coming to New York City, it seems that the ground is full of gold and opportunities are everywhere, but the reality is that they can't pay the rent. So, this last chance was almost missed by her, and she decided to fight to the death, or she really had to go home. She worked extremely hard at work, and of course, it also showed that she was clumsy and reckless. From the beginning, I didn’t know how to record the boss’s tasks, I didn’t want to integrate into this really ruthless industry, I didn’t want to change my image to be humiliated by the boss, and even felt that the design of luxury goods was a waste of money and boring, until I gradually began to pay attention to changing myself. The boss accepted, and when she began to summarize the work content of each day, she did well on some fixed daily projects without waiting for the boss to open her mouth, and she began to really enter the good work environment. Her hard work made the boss pay attention to her. In the past, the boss's clothes were always thrown to her when he entered the door, and she could only be responsible for the boss's diet and daily life. She is often called to the company at 6 o'clock, and when she sees her, she still has to carry large and small bags of clothes, coffee from the boss and employees, breakfast, all this must be done before the boss, and she has to endure the boss who is a little dignified. The famous "shrinking clothes" flashed back many times in the film. After hanging up immediately, he immediately picked up the notebook to record the endless work items of the boss.
Do them as fast as you can, and even the best ones won't be appreciated, and even the boss can't remember her name. How much does it look like when I first went to Guangzhou? Even relatives, you have to do one thing less. Like the girls in the film, I was just as out of place. When she applied for the job, she also naively thought that she had so many honorary certificates as the best stepping stone. Although I was because of my relative company, my uncle clearly told me that all the grades in my schools did not matter much here. ; I was also fat, which caused a lot of inconvenience to my colleagues at work; I was also so stubborn, like the girl in the film, I also like to stick to my own opinions. She doesn’t want to lose weight or wear fashionable clothes. I think it's a sin to work in this fashionable magazine, and I'm even willing to endure the ridicule of others; I don't know how to work when I'm working. Like her, I don't know how to prepare paper and pen to record, and what to record. It is what the boss really asks to do, and what the boss has to do must be done quickly and never procrastinate.
For these things, my uncle taught me a lot. Since when did the boss start paying attention to her? Probably when she put on well-matched designer clothes, like other girls, when she was preparing the boss's breakfast, she got to participate in a clothing exhibition with the devil, and the devil found that she had prepared the elephant in advance. As usual for some fixed work content. Later, he was able to complete an incredible task - to turn the unpublished manuscript of "Harry Potter" into a book for the twins of the witch, and the time would not exceed three hours, otherwise he would leave. After several tests, probably the devil also understands that this is a person who is dedicated enough. As a result, she successfully squeezed out the opportunity of a first-level assistant and became an elite team of witches to enter Paris to participate in the costume fair together. Finally, her extreme efforts finally paid off. However, her own life began to be in jeopardy.
Boyfriend and friends finally can't stand her workaholic state, and do whatever it takes to lose weight for work, miss appointments on her boyfriend's birthday, and even start accepting the fashion industry, flirting with fashionable handsome guys at a certain party. Friends left her, even though she swore to them that it was only a year away. Seeing this, even I am confused. I don't know, her choice, and what choice I will have when this happens, I can't tell. After all, Hollywood is still humanized and commercialized. After many wanderings and twists and turns, the heroine finally understands that what she wants, she also gives up the fame and fortune she is about to get. She was valued by the publishing house because of her work experience with Miranda, found a boyfriend, cleared up all the previous conflicts, and reached an agreement. A new job, a new life, is about to begin. And that devil still seemed to be so arrogant, walking through the crowd, nothing would attract her attention.
A smile in the car might mean that she thinks she has done a pretty good thing, right? The movie is over, but my confusion continues. I know that my top priority is to find a good job, and there is no room for picking, but I don't know when something can become my career, something I want to do and can do for the rest of my life, become What about part of my blood? The dedication of the female assistant is certainly worthy of appreciation, but I will never have her good luck. The movie can only give people a little comfort in doing things and let people see hope.
I'm still not smart enough, and I didn't make a good impression on my uncle in the end. This is something that I should review, and it also taught me a deep lesson. Next time I do anything, I should not be reckless and go my own way. I have the guidance of my aunt and uncle, as well as the expectations of my family. How can I jump out completely and ignore everything. And my tutoring, and my body shape, and the way I meet people, alas! There are many things to learn, and like the heroine in the film, everything must be received quickly and accurately and turned into its own strength. I don't think I'm far off the road in this regard, but life has pushed me to that point very quickly! ! !
