<The Devil Wears
Prada in New York>
As soon as people see some
movie titles, they would expect the story what will happen in the movie before
watching it. Moreover, they would imagine the specific place related to the
story and the representative symbols or images could come to mind. It is common
that people associate the movie with particular place and images. The Devil Wears Prada is a suitable
example to show such suggestion. In this movie, almost all events happen in the
center of New York city. As the film title indicates, this movie is not so
favorable to luxury brands like Prada. In this way, the New York city, the
background of the movie, representing both the fashion and the wealth, plays a
significant role in sending the message of this movie.
The movie deals with the
events in the fashion world. The main character, Andrea in an aspiring
journalist, gets a job as a personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the unfriendly
chief editor of Runway fashion magazine. At the beginning, Andrea ridicules her
gossipy and fashion-conscious co-workers. The co-workers mock Andrea due to her
poor sense of style and displeased attitude too. Above all, Miranda orders impossible
tasks to Andrea night and day. Nevertheless, she manages to accomplish it.
Andrea gradually begins to dress more stylishly and to be accepted by Miranda.
Andrea walks around the street with a cup of coffee in hand and a bunch of
shopping bags in the other hand. Therefore, busy New York city is the perfect
background to describe the glamorous fashion industry changing every moment.
In this movie, many well-known
luxury brands appear such as Prada, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana. Andrea’s
co-workers spend a huge amount of money with expensive clothes and accessories.
They also flaunt their luxurious and dressy style and are eager to be recognized
by Miranda. However, ironically, even though Miranda has riches and fame
in her job, she feels lonely and hard to get along well with her family. A lot
of professionals who want to get the opportunities for success head to New
York, the main city of The United States representing capitalism. There are
complicated circumstances behind the success and workaholics. Thus, only New
York city can convey the emptiness and loneliness with glamour of Miranda who
is the envy of all.
All features of this movie—the trend in the world, glittering
runway with luxury items, desire for dream and self-discovery—indicate the metropolis. There is no any other place
that can send a meaning of The Devil
Wears Prada as well as New York.
