Does "The Devil wears Prada" make a good christmas gift?

Answer 1

yes it does make a good christmas gift because it is like your giving a present that tells a moral at the end and it is dosent matter what you dress like on the outside ur still urself.A drastic improvement on Lauren Weisberger‘s bestselling novel, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA showcases Meryl Streep’s knack for combining humor and sadness. While likely inspired by notorious VOGUE editor Anna Wintour, Streep’s Miranda Priestly (head of Runway magazine) is entirely her own creation. Sporting silvery hair, a vast collection of fur coats, an encyclopedic knowledge of all things fashionable, and a killer smile, Miranda is full of wicked charm. With her mature beauty and commanding presence, Miranda is as fascinating to watch as she is intimidating to the constant rotation of assistants thrown her way.

When bookish Northwestern grad Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) interviews to become Miranda’s newest lackey, Miranda hires her not for her lackluster wardrobe but for her intellect. Inside the pristine Runway offices, Andy suffers through a never-ending list of impossible tasks, and is the subject of constant harassment by Miranda’s jealous first assistant (Emily Blunt). But to the dismay of her boyfriend (Adrian Grenier) and close friends, Andy slowly finds herself seduced by the glamorous world of fashion, and by Miranda herself. While Andy’s transformation comes largely in the form of new designer clothing, the makeover is mental as well. What starts out as a firm belief in fashion’s vapidity and in Miranda’s heartlessness gradually fades into the suspicion that the boss from hell might just be hiding a soul. While the book villainized its title character, the film gives new depths to her wrath. As Andy trades her undergrad wardrobe for one packed with Prada and Chanel (with help from Stanley Tucci in a brilliant role), viewers are able to savor the work of costume designer Patricia Field. Together with director David Frankel (who also worked on SEX AND THE CITY), Field creates a world of fashion so wonderfully extreme it would be hard for anyone to resist.



MOVIE MISTAKES


Mistake #1
In the scene where Andy is sitting in the restaurant with her father, you see her father taking of his glasses. In the next shot you see the father from the back, taking of his glasses again.

Mistake #2
In the scene in Paris where Christian kisses Andy, from one angle her head is tilted to the right as they kiss, then the shot changes and they are now tilted in the opposite direction. This happens almost every time the angle changes throughout the kiss.

Mistake #3
At the very end of the film, after Miranda has sat down in her car and told the driver to "go"; it doesn't look like she's actually in it in the next shot when the car takes off as Andy walks by.

Mistake #4
When Andy is talking to Nigel during the photo shoot in the park, her lips don't move during her last line of dialogue.

Mistake #5
In the scene when Emily is saying "This is what you are doing" and closes her hand, her pinky and her ring finger are up. But in the next shot, shot from the back of her, her pinky and ring finger are closed. In the next shot, in front of her, her whole arm is down. There is no way she could have put down her hand that fast.

And then these are the mistakes that it makes but then you dont have to say that but after you can if you want to I got all of this info at rotten tomatoes

Answer 2

Depends on the person you are buying the movie for. I really like "The Devil Wears Prada". I love fashion, Anne Hatheway looked lovely and did a great job, and Meryl Streep was wonderful as always. "Prada" reminds me of "In Her Shoes", "Never Been Kissed", and "Working Girl". So, if the person likes a feel-good-chick-flick about a loser who finds herself and comes into her own, then he/she will love it.

Answer 3

i don't think, this movie has any relevance to the theme of x'mas.
you may select some movie, which is either a musical, or has some thing to do with x'mas.
in home alone2, they have shown x'mas shopping, santa clause etc.
if you want a current one, go for some animation, comedy, or a family entertainer,
the devil wears prada, would be a wrong choice !

Answer 4

Yes it will make a good Christmas gift. Because when someone is about to watch a Meryl Streep film they know it's going to be good since she is a great actress.
