The devil wears prada

This seems like a fun movie, and it is. it really is if you take it at face value. But there's something that makes me incredibly angry about this movie. I can't find the scene because I don't know how to find the clip, it probably exists somewhere on youtube, but whatever. It happens just after the one hour mark on the movie. Leading up to this she's missed her partners birthday, she's gotten picked for the paris trip instead of her coworker, and she's doing pretty damn good at this job. However people are getting angry at her, for not logical reason!

She's gone to an art show, and gotten caught just talking to this guy who helps her out at work, and her friend flips her shit at her for it. Saying she's supposed to be madly in love with her boyfriend (She passed up an opportunity to party with that very same guy, to try and make it to her boyfriends birthday party.) she hasn't even slept with the guy! She's only talked to him! What the actual fuck?

Then her friend lets slip that she's going to paris, and her boyfriend overhears and he questions her about it and she gets upset because she knows whats coming, she knows he's going to be unreasonably upset with her like everyone else, and yet he blames her saying she should have let emily go and get herself fired. Again, what the fuck? If my job hinged on a decision like that, a decision where only my job hinges on it, I'd take the trip too. because you know what? Emily isn't going to get fired, she's just not gonna go to paris, and Andrea needs to pay the rent.

Does her partner care that little for their livelyhood that he can't understand that she's selling those little bits of herself for him? Who cares if she has to wear different clothes, or act a different way. That's not exactly selling yourself, thats a little thing we adults call professionalism. Which let me tell you, she was not showing at the start of the movie with her careless dress. Not that I'm shaming people for dressing carelessly, I'm saying that if you're going to an interview, or an office job, you're expected to adhere to a dress code. Which she starts doing, and she see's improvements for! Her friends were more than willing to reap the benefits of that job when it was fit for them (See: Her boyfriends reaction to her sexy new dress. Her friends getting free shit from her. And so on) And even after that they treated her job with a lack of respect (see: them tossing her phone when her boss was calling literally right after she'd gifted them shit) and now that it's not fit for them, they are treating her like shit! I mean good god, it's note like her entire life should revolve around them and how they feel. She has goals too. She wants to move on to a more serious magazine after that one, and doing well at this job and making much needed contacts is the way to do that. Just uggggghhhh. I do get the message the director and writers are trying to make with this movie, but it'd be better if her work was shown to have more negative effects on her personally than those around her. But that wouldn't make a good movie, because that's not fiction. Thats reality!
