CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Miranda (Meryl Streep) sets Andy (Anne Hathaway) straight when she laughs at their debate over two seemingly similar belts.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Lauren Weisberger's best-selling novel about a young woman who stumbles into the hectic worlds of high fashion and publishing comes to the big screen in this comedy. Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) is a bright young woman from the Midwest who has just graduated from college and wants to work as a magazine writer. Andy has applied for a job at "Runway," America's most prestigious fashion journal; though Andy has little to no interest in the garment trade, they are one of the only magazines in New York with a job opening -- second assistant to editor Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). As Andy quickly learns, Miranda is a diva with plenty of power within the magazine business and she isn't afraid to use it, and though Andy lands the job (primarily by being in the right place at the right time), she soon learns that working for Miranda could test the patience of a saint thanks to her endless demands and refusal to acknowledge the end of a work day. Andy struggles to hold on to the job and her sanity, knowing that a recommendation from Miranda can open nearly any door at any magazine, but can she handle the pressure without losing her mind along the way? The Devil Wears Prada also stars Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, and Adrian Grenier.

"Why is no one reeeeady?" This line gives me anxiety
same!
it was improvisation
@@flatt3r there's nothing else to say, but that shes a genius
SAME!!
You speak the truth. I felt the tension of being in the room from such a mildly annoyed tone but what I heard was her 10 seconds away from decapitating someone for wasting her time
I swear the fact that her character was suppose to be loud and yelling but Meryl decided to be quite soft yet commanding is scary! She is so intimidating without having to yell
I think Meryl did a brilliant job with it, more so because to me she is scarier than the book version!!
I legit thought she was gonna hit her with that belt lol
Real adults don't have to yell like children to get their point across.
Seriously. I think she's scarier with this soft yet intimidating voice. Yelling her lungs out would only make her look like a child throwing a tantrum, but when she's whispering, you know she means business
That even makes it more scarier
Honestly Andy’s attitude even got to me in this scene. Imagine you’ve just started work at a job you’re demonstrably not qualified for and laughing in your superior’s faces for doing their jobs.
Imagine caring what Andy thinks.
you do realize this is a movie and these people are actors right? Lmfao
@@Victoria-gv3qh yes but the scenarios are based on real people. I’m sure this has happen to someone before. 😂
@@Victoria-gv3qh So? That doesn’t mean they can’t critique a character’s attitude. I’ve meant plenty of people like Andy who think they’re superior for being different.
@@Victoria-gv3qh it's art, and art can be analyzed
Meryl Streep is proof that you don’t have to raise your voice to command respect. She didn’t even have to swear once. That is where true power lies. If someone can deliver a powerful speech without resorting to losing their composure, that’s true strength of character and talent ❤️
Respect?? Don't think so. She sounded ridiculous with her haughty attitude
I learn something new today
@@kleeamd8274yes lol. This person is treating a movie scene as if it's real life
@@humblegamer7876 Poor little ❄ is butthurt that I trashed the mediocre film you worship like the mentally enslaved simpleton you are🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@humblegamer7876 well she is actually making valid points, a boss that screams at you vs one that is stern but quiet shows actual power
Meryl Streep could play The Joker and Batman simultaneously and it would be the right casting choice
that reminds me of that line from modern family
And I suppose you would also say that Jason Momoa should play Cat Woman.
@@Pasan34 Now I want to see that
@@Pasan34 I would pay money to see that lol
Granny Goodness?
The way Meryl did this monologue so casual and effortless is really mindblowing. She's truly a beast in acting.
This isnt effortless. Her interviews are effortless and she speaks nothing like that. This is neutral.
@@mskidi Hardly neutral. Countless hours/years of training in acting have produced this “effortless” monologue.
@@mskidi Countless amateur "actresses" have tried to replicate her speech and failed grandly. That of Meryl is *superb* acting.
Groundbreaking.
True
Watching as a kid, I couldn't really comprehend what happened in this scene. Now I'm older and I can comprehended Andy's snark by snorting, Miranda's absolute power throughout this entire scene, but the weirdest detail I finally realized I picked up on is that I saw exactly what Miranda was choosing with the belts. One had a large buckle while the other didn't. That's what she was picking from for the outfit, and exactly why they were both so different.
Buckle size and design pattern. Perhaps even stitching.
@@ensignmjs7058 The best she selected had a subtler buckle, which didn’t take the eye away from the turquoise belt.
i don’t get why andy said both belts are similar when it’s obvious that the buckles are different…
And the shade of teal is slightly different. The one she picked is a smidge cooler tone than the one with the big buckle, plus what y’all said. So yeah, all in all, they are “so different”. Wearing one as opposed to the other would change the outfit. I do this now (try one one belt and then another) and it’s absolutely crazy how you can alter an outfit so much with such a small detail.
Also they're different shades of blue, did you learned nothing!!! , does Miranda have to come and roast you personally 😉
Absolutely love this scene and I regularly reference it when I meet people who claim not to care about fashion. *Everyone* cares about fashion to some degree - you wear what you wear because you want to be perceived a certain way, even if that way is “I don’t care about clothes”. Unless you plan on living the rest of your life as a nudist, fashion is a form of self-expression that every single one of us participates in.
Yes you are absolutely right!!! I can't stand it when people say ,it's inside what counts ,not outwardly". Because how you feel inside reflects on how you act outwardly
Ages ago I wrote about “off the rack” personalities. Most people buy their identity off the rack - coordinated and accessorized by the fashion industry. It provides via your clothes an announcement about your values, your opinions, who you think you are, what you like to do, the music you like, who you hang out with, your goals - your ego, your identity. So much easier for people to buy that prefabricated, and select their friends based on who fits. Target country dresses, anyone? With brown leatherette boots.
Or maybe people don't want to end up in jail for streaking. Sit down you sheep!
People are allowed to not care about fashion as long as they're not rude about it imo. This feels like when those highschool science teachers hear you say you don't really like science and go "but science is in everything you do!! You wouldn't have some of your favourite things without it! Even the mere act of breathing is somehow related to Chemistry Physics and Biology all at once! You HAVE to like science!!" ...No I don't. I can breathe and also enjoy the fruits of modern scientific achievement, and even be mildly interested when yet another country puts something new on the moon; without actually caring all that much about science. I respect it as a field though - that's important. Similarly, I love fashion. But I don't expect others to love it as much as me just because they fill a basic social obligation we all have to in order to exist in society. As long as they respect the craft itself, I don't really care.
Mmmm...i d be in perfect harmony going around nude😅
I genuinely still can’t see how Miranda was the villain in this movie. If anything, the villain should be the friends that tried to shame Anne Hathaway for eventually taking an interest in her job & caring about fashion and her work.
Agreed. Her friends (and especially her whiny boyfriend) were horrendous. She was super stressed and working so diligently to do her job well, and they all showed zero empathy. 👎🏼
To be fair, she did take too much of an interest in her job. To the point she missed important social commitments and such. But yes. The way her friends are more than happy to accept the gifts - that she only got because of her work - then turn around and shame and belittle her for her work ethic is extremely selfish and not what a friend would do at all. I can see why they'd have a conversation with her about being too invested and allowing their friendships to slip through the cracks, but the level of venom they expressed made them instant drop-worthy friends.
That’s honestly a great point lol! The next time I rewatch this movie, I’ll think differently about Miranda.they always say “keep your Friends close and your enemy closer!
She’s the villain because she’s the dictator who wants the world to dress exactly how she and a handful of designers want us to dress. They dictate what we wear and they dictate the circumstances in which these things are produced. The saddest point of the film is moment Andy decides to conform. Which is probably what you have done considering you cannot see the problem with Miranda and the industry overall.
Michael Mendoza Well put :)
"Why is no one reeeeady?" One of my favorite line readings ever.
She interpreted that line with so much sass and eloquence. Streep is not overrated, instead, she is more under appreciated.
I thought it was just me!
Karen Tran it's impossible to think that Meryl is overrrated. She is a truly magnificent actress, it's just unbelievable
Flareout55 yeah, I honestly felt terrified for Anne Hathaway's character when I watched this. It's amazing how an actress can go and add tension to an atmosphere with a single line. Before the actual conflict of the scene comes into play. As a writer, that kinda terrifies me. Very few can take command of a script like Streep can.
Flareout55 me at work always.
Watching this as a kid, I was like "oh poor sweet Andy, the boss is so mean". But now, I totally agree with the way Miranda educated her disrespectful employee.
A power move from power boss
Not really. Miranda insults Andy's lumpy blue sweater...then admits she and her colleagues were the ones who picked it out.
@@dustinmatthews387 Not at all... Miranda was code switching mid speech. The "lumpy blue sweater" was from Andy's point of view: Andy couldn't care less about clothes, their colour, their size and so she thought in simple terms on which taste and nuance had no bearing. Miranda then proceeded to switch to the language that people who make clothes use. It reminds me of the scene in Girl with a Pearl Earring when Vermeer asks Griet to describe the colour of clouds. There's nothing more educational than real appreciation.
@@dustinmatthews387That's not true, she says she picked a lumpy blue sweater, but then she tells her that that specific shade of blue was picked by their team, then some other designers follow the trend and then the big stores followed after, so she thinking that what she chooses isn't decided by the fashion industry cause she bought it in a normal store it's not true, cause they make the trends and end up affecting the general public that don't buy from fashion brands
@@dustinmatthews387 Lumpy blue sweater is on the customer. If it doesn't fit, don't buy it.
I love Stanley Tucci’s expressions throughout this.
A lot of top-notch talent and directing in this movie.
Stanley Tucci represents the audience & their reaction to both Andrea's obtuseness & Miranda's snark
When is this fabulous actor going to get his Oscar????
I especially loved how Andy turned and looked at Emily with a beg for help in her eyes, and Emily just shook her head.
One thing I just noticed: Andy was the only one wearing a shade of blue (cerulean, to be accurate). Everyone else in this scene wears warm/earthen colors. An effective way of telling, through clothes, how disconnected Andy was from everything happening around her. No wonder this movie got a Best Costume Design nomination at the Oscars.
It should have won and Modern Girlz video perfectly explains it
@@anidleteen omg I just watched that video
Even the blue belts were warm tones, as were the dress and jacket. Interesting observation! She really does clash with the scene
Who won?
@@Sanuw7 Marie Antoinette
"Why is no one ready?" - My dog at 3AM.
My dog when getting ready for his afternoon walkie.
This is so accurate ahahha
Best comment.
🤣🤣
😂😂😂
I love that she gives a pause before saying "from a pile of stuff" almost like downgrading the line separating it from the speech of history lesson. What a beast in acting
This movie made 2000s fashion actually look good.
I really dug lot of the clothes Andy wore once she started taking things seriously. Especially that modernized Channel suit - Mwah! 😍
@@reikun86 those Chanel boots will always be one of the most iconic fashion accessories next to the ruby slippers in film history.
The 1st outfit that she wore where Giselle Bundchen was like “you look good” could’ve been a better outfit cause that suit she wore was ugly af hahah
Well the stylist in this movie is the legendary Patricia Field, so it's par for the course. She cleverly chose outfits that will be timeless.
Miranda doesn't raise her voice once in this film, yet still manages to be absolutely terrifying. I had a teacher in middle school who was the same way. Very soft spoken, never raised her voice, but still commanded so much respect, and instilled so much fear in us.
I had an art teacher in high school who was exactly like that. We had to strain to hear her speak and we were all petrified of her. Not even the most brazen of students ever dared misbehave when she was in command of the classroom.
+coralarch The art and beauty of fashion, my friend. :)
***** The things I saw were not beautiful- they were OTT grotesque.
coralarch Lmao some are pretty crazy. I'm not gonna lie.
***** I don't mind crazy, but ugly, yarrggh!
Emily is all of us whenever there's drama in the workplace
scorpio2510 how true 😂
scorpio2510 Emily is more helpful in the book and feels betrayed as shown in the hospital scene. Miranda was right in that everyone want to be us.
me: hears drama also me: slowly slides closer to the drama
Hahahah especially me
Yeah, from afar. 😂
No because the belts ARE DIFFERENT. The buckles can completely change an outfit. It seems that the stitched in the belts themselves are different, which could be due to a fabric change, causing a possible clash. This scene really shows how Miranda is in a league of her own.
Andy's ignorance and Miranda's crushing speech aside, I don't think the argument is whether those belts are different, because they clearly are. The argument is "whether they are SO different?" Are they SO different that that difference would cause an uproar in the garment were the wrong one chosen? Surely the buckles are different, but the colours, at least to my admittedly untrained eyes, are exactly the same. I think the exaggerated "so", with regard to their minute differences, is to maintain a partition between us, the audience and them, the experts, for this speech to have power and importance. In reality, our reality, the two belts are almost interchageable.
Me, I would've gone for the horseshoe buckle, because I thought it complemented the outfit instead of calling attention to your stomach. Apparently I had it backwards.
This comment is spot on
"The buckles can completely change an outfit" what a crock! It's just a bleeding buckle!
@@mkphotofilm to our untrained eyes obviously. i'd imagine that actual professionals in the field could give a few words on how the design and colour of a belt buckle could indeed change a whole outfit. literally just grasping at thin air here but let's say you're wearing an all black outfit where the buckle is particularly evident (metallic grey vs matte black). a particularly sharp-angled buckle (maybe even triangular) might come off as edgy or standoffish, whereas a rounded buckle looks just a little friendlier.
When I was a child watching this, I was sympathetic towards Andy bcs I too didn't understand the point of their jobs. Now 15 years later, graduated, employed, and switched jobs like five times, I understand the point of this movie now. It was never about fashion or style. It was about work ethics; about how much we are willing to sacrifice to achieve success. And even the subject of "success" was subjective. Andy's attitude at the beginning really infuriates me now, knowing how hard it is to get a job and how hard learning it. She didn't research the company before applying to it, doesn't dress appropriately for her interview, disrespectful towards her superiors, and blatantly showed her dissatisfaction from working there. Nigel was right; she should've quit, or better yet, apply to Auto Universe. Sure, Miranda is not the best boss; she is perfectionist, demanding, and hard to please. Even downright a bully. But it was because she was annoyed at how mediocre Andy was at her job. You can see her mellowed out when Andy started to take her job seriously. And at end of the movie, when they departed, Miranda already sees Andy as an equal. They don't part as boss vs assistant, but as human beings who just had different goals in life and learn their lessons.
You became more conservative, jaded, and cynical as you aged~
Very beautifully put ! I agree with every word and you perfectly summarized the ending. The ending had always left me feeling a bit empty, but you're absolutely right. Miranda did end up seeing Andy as an equal.
@@AndrewWhite6969 can't change reality
@@thesilversurfer7136 But reality changes and therefore is always subject to change lmao, hence why conservatism is inherently stupid and irrational.
I'm actually curious as to where Andy would be years later if she has any regrets or is perfectly happy.
This scene shows that Miranda actually saw potential in Andy. Pretty sure she'd never waste that many words on someone she considers completely useless.
You know what I actually like this take. Miranda wouldn't "waste" that much time to deliver a lecture to someone unless she sees potential in them. If she really did think Andy to be useless, she would've just fired her on the spot. Instead she gave her the slap that ultimately makes Andy *appreciate* fashion.
great opinion. like this
I thought so, too. Miranda made an effort to give Andy an insight into history of fashion.
My immediate reaction would be "OMG... she TALKED TO ME!" 🤣
Weeeeeeell, maybe. Monologues like this are often exposition devices for the _viewers._ It could be the case that the monologue was so long and detailed because Miranda saw potential in Andy, but I personally consider it more likely that the movie was telling _us_ how out of touch Andy was.
So, are we gonna talk about how Emily heard *Shade* and decided to get into the scene REAL fast
That was my favorite part of this scene lol
Emily is all of us
I love that Emily shook her head when Andy looked to her for help. She made sure Andy took her medicine.
@@SaraH-jn5db and Andy is spoiled selfish kid with dreams of grandeur and thinks she's going get ahead without paying dues
Hahahaha
Her monologue here was very important. The fashion industry is really down to making money. These designers are artists. What they produce are the catalysts for trends and they really do trickle down to department stores and lower-end retailers, providing millions of jobs for people on the way. Andy is ignorant to the influence that the top dogs in the industry like Miranda have
Andy was too dismissive but the people in that room are objectively terrible. Making fun of her for being fat on her first day of work....? When she looks like Anne Hathaway
Meryl is amazing. She managed to sound so intimidating an scary without needing to raise her voice a bit, and the way she delivers the lines seems so effortless, because Miranda knows what she’s talking about, and can see that Andy clearly doesn’t care enough to have this job. She still sees potential in her but still wants to make sure she stays in line like everyone else. Moral: Don’t mess with Miranda Presely
Oh, Chandler! I thought you were dead in your original movie.
'This... stuff'? Oh. Okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select... I don't know... that lumpy blue sweater, for instance because you're trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put on your back. But what you don't know is that that sweater is not just blue, it's not turquoise. It's not lapis. It's actually cerulean. And you're also blithely unaware of the fact that in 2002, Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns. And then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent... wasn't it who showed cerulean military jackets? I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collections of eight different designers. And then it, uh, filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic Casual Corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs and it's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when, in fact, you're wearing the sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of stuff.
Elie Colomeda - Dilla ....aw I have been dying to read tis
I love you
Mmmmhmmmm! Smdh..
Miranda definitely went in
She got read to filth!!!! Priceless
I don't care what anyone says this was the read of the decade.
Makeda Phillips century you mean
It truly is.
Read’er her rights! 💀💀
For FILTH!
*Millenium
Imagine how many people have to work for a customer saying "This is comfortable on me and it also looks good". From the people that find the colour, to the fabric, to the cut, to the sewing. Miranda is absolutely right. Fashion is every single thing we wear. Imagine how difficult it is for fashion brands to cover all the customers needs and also discover "the new thing".
Even the ones who want to deny the importance of fashion, MUST admit this.
…a few times a year.
That's pure 🐃💩, as was Miranda's little speech Fashion is subjective. She's going on about the color cerulean etc & how some elite fashion designers picked the hue & used it in their clothing lines But really, they could pick 💩brown as a color or snot green and the only reason it's "popular", "trendy" or whatever is because main stream fashion magazines claim that it is & this is re-enforced by influential celebrities who then wear the clothes It's a joke. I never have read fashion mags for tips. I dress for my body type & for what clothing is practical for my every day life As far as the colors of the fabrics of the clothes I buy, I just pick whatever happens to be my favorite color - the same with patterns. Fashion is nothing but 🐃💩 otherwise. Just haughty rich people trying to act important regarding something that's of little importance Looking good in clothes isn't a science like this movie is making it. I've found as long as one dresses appropriately for their individual body type, as far as fit, then that's 99.9% of the battle
@@kleeamd8274 I agree. Sure, we all have to wear clothes, but the fashion industry churns out way more clothing than their customers can wear, and insists everything goes out of style after a year or two just to sell more products. The most prestigious and expensive fashion labels routinely destroy perfectly good unsold merchandise instead of donating them. Meanwhile, no one in the fashion industry cares that there are poor people all over the world who don't have enough clothes or shoes to wear. There are millions of people living in poverty out there who would love to have "that lumpy blue sweater."
@@kleeamd8274 I just saw you in another comment lol if you don’t like the film nor respect what it’s about then why are you here wasting your precious time making paragraphs about it. You must be just like Andy irl so can only imagine how you dress and look plus the mentality you have towards topics you don’t understand.
i LOVE how she explains the history and meaning of fashion. this scene alone illustrates the rich education fashion and how people view it as "stuff," when in reality, it plays a deeper role in everyday life. enlightening!
It's still just stuff. Trivial stuff that humans put a high value on because they need to make something important in their lives, and maybe also to justify the rampant human rights violations which go on in the name of fuelling the fashion industry. Let's see Miranda give that monologue about the power of fashion to the Bangladeshi people who spent all their lives in sweat shops making those designer scarves so Miranda could live in a New York penthouse above the common people.
@@LamporreHumans giving something value is what makes anything valuable. All our arbitrary decisions on aesthetics or morality or anything could be considered trivial in the grand scheme of things. Nothing is inherently valuable or not until humans decide so.
@@Lamporrethere is a big difference between fast fashion and high fashion; plus the intrinsic importance of fashion transcends the production mode
@@Lamporre Do you have any clue how many jobs the fashion industry provides for poor people in other countries? The fashion industry brings so much money to their economies. To you that is a sweat shop job but to those people that is the only source of money they can bring in because they have no other opportunities. Many of those people come from families where they worked in the tailoring and making fabrics for generations and that is they only trade they know. Please stop trying to virtue signal when you don't understand the nuances.
It’s still useless stuff. You couldn’t survive a pandemic with fashion
My favorite thing about this scene is how Miranda doesn't just stop what she's doing to give the speech. She just casually completes the outfit while she's giving a lesson in fashion history. Just to reiterate, she finishes a high-profile fashion line without even giving it her full attention because she's recounting the history of _one shade of blue from memory._
Excuse me it's not blue it's cerulean. :)
Thats something about Miranda that the film does really great. Miranda is always working in the scenes she's in with Andy, writing papers while she tells her what to do, meeting contacts at a party or completing a fashion line. Theres only a few times she isn't working when Andy is with her is first, when Andy walks in on her trying to placate her angry husband(that moment of vulnerability is, I believe, why she sets the impossible task for Andy). The second is when she opens up about her upcoming divorce, how she's dragged by the newspapers and wanting her daughters to be left alone. (PS:You can argue the scene where she tells Andy she reminds her of herself before Andy leaves is her not working, but it's on the way to the next event just before Andy quits, so really up to interpretation. :P )
@@phousefilms Nah she’s still working when she opens up about the divorce
@@phousefilms actually when she’s talking about the divorce she is still kind of working since the one of the main things she is doing in that scene is trying to rearrange her seating chart. But you could argue that’s not her “working” but still
I heard that was Meryl’s choice at several points, another example being the scene where she never stops flipping through the Book while she’s telling Andy to make the choice on whether to screw Emily over. Meryl wanted to communicate that Miranda never has a free moment, she’s always working.
Maths and science teachers at the start of the lesson to the smug kid be like: I think it’s funny how you think these lessons don’t apply to you when in fact, that little phone in your pocket, you were so desperately and probably pathetically begging your mom for was created for you through hundreds of years of mathematics and science by people giving you all the luxuries you so obviously take for granted today which you call boring useless “stuff” You’ll get it back after class. Section 4 please everyone.
Noice way to put it love this comment lol
Well, someone just embodied Snape 👀👀
That kinda work for communists too
Oh. You’re British...... “maths”?!?
Roasted
“Trickled on down into some tragic casual corner” ... is my personal favourite.
This speech has a wonderful rhythm and flow with great writing. Streep pairs with it nicely and hits all the right notes flaunting her mastery of acting. It is perfection.
What bugs me about this scene is that most people know better than to show contempt for something their boss finds important. Andy didn't have to full-on embrace the fashion world, but she should have been more respectful
I didn't think it was contempt, just naivety. Miranda soon showed us all what contempt is really like:)
I think she did it by accident not on purpose.
A true account of people aren't nice and do change in their environment😣
why would it bug you? it's intentionally part of the script and character's journey
uofc57 I don't think she thought she would be heard. To the commenter above, the purpose of fiction is to provide an alternate yet believable reality that we can use to grapple with the reality. A Miranda smackdown on your attitude to story would be rather fitting. Pun noticed.
I never knew fashion was so important until I saw this scene "That blue represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. And Its somewhat comical that you think you have made a choice, that exempts you from the fashion industry, when in fact.... that sweater was selected for you, by the people in this room..... From a pile of stuff."
Until I saw that movie.
Love that speech, but that outfit they put together was hideous, IMHO
@@nina1522 I see what they were doing. It was a kind of saloon girl kind of ensemble.
Poulomi Hari It's similar in the car industry. There are lots of people (like my mother) why select some neutral coloured SUV because they don't care about cars but the development of that one model cost millions and employed thousands of people to design and build. The unfortunate fact is that there are so many industries that people don't care enough about.
@@10293 The car analogy makes no sense. If the car only comes in three variants (which all look the same), the difference is not going to be the color or frame, but the mechanics and the interior. Comparing it to this scene where they're making an outfit is completely different because the outfit they're putting together has to be cohesive and unique (it's not going to be mass produced).
The outfit Miranda casually put together really was gorgeous! It's super fall and floral, but with a pop of that beautiful blue belt. Really inventive too! I like how she just did it so effortlessly too, while half of her mind was on talking to Andy. Plus the movie didn't hype it or hold it up to emphasize it for the audience, it was all just NBD, we totally put together a killer outfit nonchalantly.
"Why is no one readyyyy!?" Ever since I've heard this line I've been finding anysort of situation to be able to use it.
Same!
Notice that Meryl's eyes never even look at Andie, they are fixed on the sweater as if to say that Andie is irrelevant. She breaks the gaze to look at Andie's face only for a split second, when she says "a pile of stuff". Extremely powerful, and we feel it subconsciously.
psycho babble Lol
As a Virgo myself I didn’t feel that, on any case I understood her, I’m besties with Cancerians like Streep, somehow they respect me lol
I never noticed that until now
@@LateStageCap this is fictional dude Lol, are you gonna tell me Streep is so good that she even guesses these psychological undertones in her acting?
@@ThomasJr What ignorance you have to the arts. Every actor, let alone auteurs like Streep, think about these things. They learn them, to the point where it’s second nature. Even me and my peers do this, and I’m an amateur actor/Dungeon Master far below Streep’s level. This is basic psychology/symbolism, not some profound mastermind thing.
"Why is no-one REA-DY" .......Classic Miranda Priestly line from a great film
+wekakiwi That was a great line?? My, your brain is simple or non-existent. There are MUCH GREATER lines than this from other movies.
+mmm My, your sense of entitlement is obnoxious or over-bearing. There are MUCH GREATER posts than this from other commenters.
+Superman64GOTY I called an apple, an apple. What's wrong?
+mmm It's considered a great line not because of the content of what she was saying, but because it exhibits Meryl's ability to portray a character completely unlike her own, one that's silent, yet powerful, and it shows how brilliant of an actress she is.
+wekakiwi: That old hag was thinking too much, Andy was just amused at how similar those 2 belts look to anyone right-minded. I would laugh too. All those that were spouted from that old hag's mouth were just that old hag's thinking and petty, immature interpretation of Andy's laugh which nobody in the right mind will agree. Can't that old hag cut some slack and laugh along as well?? That Old hag is too serious and uptight, no wonder her marriage ends up in divorce!! I would divorce that old hag too!!
I love this monologue. This is for the people who are always looking down on certain jobs and certain people just because they take their work seriously. You don’t know how hard someone’s job is until you actually have to do it.
I finally understand this scene, people who think they have the moral high ground because they thrift and don't wear designer...their style is still influenced by big brands, cause they create the trends and it flows down the chain to be mass produced for the general public.
To some extent yes, but Idk if it's moral higher ground, mostly it's just wanting to pay less. And lots of people are really unfazed by the fact that someone at Vogue picked out that colour - could have been some other colour too
thats exactly what it is and it is also not just about clothing. It is the same with for example technology. iPhone is one of the most expensive brands and they started the smartphone trend. Now we have $100 smartphones that looks exactly like a $1000 iPhone.
i mean... thrifting is pretty moral isnt it? you're buying second hand clothing instead of throwing and burning it all away..
Agree somewhat, but this comment really only applies to hipsters and the rich cosplaying as poorer. Those who don't have the means for new/firsthand clothes that look decent and last long have no choice but to thrift or eschew designer. Typical example of the rich trying gamify and make a 'fashion statement' out of something frugal those without their privilege have to do.
Not sure why that is such an own. Yes big industry players dictate what consumer trends are pushed. So what. If I hear a song on the radio I recognize industry power brokers put it there. She bought an affordable sweater. She wasnt wowed by it's fashion sensibility
The monologue is perfection, but what I love most about this scene is that she just casually continues on with her expert selections and opinions of what is needed to complete the look, while delivering the monologue. Something so critical as to need her guidance and she just breezes through it multi-tasking.

She's so real for this. Fashion is an art and a necessity that should be respected. Even Duluth work clothes are specifically designed for harsh manual labor and they are expensive because the fabric is THICK AF and lasts much longer. Fashion is the very stitches that holds humanity together.

Andy was trying to show how clever and better she was by making fun of the fashion industry. Miranda proved her absolutely wrong by lengthily telling her the research and hard work that went into that particular cerulean sweater. And to think Andy was a journalism graduate. Miranda effectively told her, in such a long-winded manner, how utterly dumb she was. Clearly, she the journalist didn't do her homework.
Idk Miranda just seems like a stupid narcissist
This is the difference between the people who are in the top. They didn’t get their because of chance or luck but they worked their way to that position. This scene is a perfect example to show the difference in thinking between a seasoned professional who is a master player in business and an idiot fresher at work.
Silly SillyPutty Miranda was a professional. A person who dedicated their lives to being in a powerful position in the corporate world will definitely not have some nonsense person tell them their worth is equivalent to just throwing on a blue sweater, Andy deserved that lecture.

Such a good monologue, and such a hard one too deliver too. Very nonchalant but filled with lots of underlying venom. Such a great performance
“why is no one ready…?” Man, I would’ve burst in tears upon hearing that with that tone. lol.
As soul-crushing as this speech was, I think it shows that Miranda really does see Andy's potential and wants her to rise to it; she could have dismissed her from the room/her job immediately, she has no need to show off or make an example to the other people in the room (who are already completely cowed by her) and we've seen how when other people screw up she barely wastes a sentence on them. Taking the time to give Andy a brutal reality check suggests she does actually want Andy to be better, in contrast to the interview when she didn't waste a moment shooing Andy out when she thought she would be useless.
She did say she wanted to give a chance to the 'fat' girl in a later scene.
mzytryck, that and I also think Miranda has a deep narcissistic trait of keeping someone you feel is inferior around because you enjoy kicking them. Her form of “nurturing” someone might be the way that she loves and guides but it is damaging. I liked that we saw the softer sides of her throughout the movie though.
yessssssss the most valuable comment here
@GoodRiddanceGooglePlus It wasn't here that Miranda saw that potential. It was during Andy's interview when Andy was about to walk away, but then turned around and basically commanded Miranda's attention by explaining that she knew she didn't fit in, but was smart, hard working and willing to learn. That's why during that moment in the interview Miranda stopped reading her newspaper and started paying attention to what Andy was saying. At that moment, Miranda saw "herself" in Andy and wanted to give Andy her chance, probably just as someone once gave Miranda her chance when she was younger. That's why in this scene, she gives Andy a big reality check about the importance of the fashion industry. It is all to test Andy's resilience and willingness to learn. It is a way of Miranda indirectly asking Andy how important is the job that she has is to her.
Stephen Ritger exactly! She was extremely disappointed because Andy had immense skill for that job and could’ve been something great with Miranda. BUT she knew Andy wanted something different and didn’t neglect that fact which is why she ended it with saying he would be an idiot if he didn’t hire her.
She was more offended by the "stuff" comment than the snicker.
I think the snicker could’ve been excused as a sneeze, but the “this stuff” comment cemented that Andy wasn’t taking her job seriously.
Meryl Streep is the greatest actor that lived. That subtle yet scary performance is brilliant. That mere snicker put fear in the whole room anticipating her reaction.
I think the big thing about this for me is that this is supposed to be a burn to Andi, but there is so much more to it than that. Her explaining everything like this shows that she is not just out to get at her, although I'm sure it was part of it, but it shows just how much she knows her work in mind-blowing detail. At the same time, she is effortly fashioning a dress for her line in seconds without so much as a thought and it looks great. She stresses just how far the industry goes so that Andi could have that cerulean blue sweater that she may have picked up from the clearance bin. That is a lot of powerful knowledge to have in that industry and that plus her soft tone as she eviscerates Andi while making dress that's fashionable in seconds is what I think ultimately makes her scary.

+mmm You only think you're not superficial. Your reductive blanket-statement about an industry based on ONE character from ONE movie says otherwise. You're also not down-to-earth. You've decided to turn a comment section into a campaign to promote how superior you are to everyone who enjoys a movie. No one else here did that. Now go back under your bridge, troll.
+Superman64GOTY Wow, you need a chill pill. Are you Anna LoseTour?? Did I hit your soft spots?
+mmm Well, her body posture changes and she becomes ashamed when Miranda pronounced "her lumpy blue sweater". She is not proud, and in fact, by the end of the film, she has learned something and she has improved the way she presents herself to the world by means of more stylish / better quality clothes. I agree with MsTasha007 - Miranda read her like a book.
+Lisa Simpson Rules "Lumpy blue sweater" is her opinion. "Better clothes" is a subjective opinion. Agreeing with someone is also subjective opinion.
Stanley Tucci’s inhale at 0:36 is absolutely perfect delivery and instantaneous foreshadowing for the audience
He moves out of the way of the blood that will fly.
Streep wrote this scene too? My gosh, she's just brilliant.
In itself, this scene in the script was discarded, but Meryl Streep requested that it be restored. It's a monologue that went through many re-writing sessions, according to the scriptwriter. What Miranda mentions is purely fictitious, but she was trying to describe the trickle-down effect.
In Kramer vs Kramer, she also wrote most of her lines, especially that 'I am a mother' monologue in the court.
The thing about this iconic scene, is not just what Miranda is saying. But what the other actors are doing without talking. The faces, the eyes, the handling of the belts, and clothes. And it's not really about Andy. It's all about Miranda talking about a sweater and how from high fashion to the cheap second hand store are jobs it represents. Fashion people are always mocked, scorned, but they too create millions of jobs. And every so called educated, too cool rebel, SJW, hates fashion for no reason. But still wears the latest fashion. The irony is bewildering but hilarious. By the way, this scene is studied by how effortlessly it looks, but really it's a feat it was done at all. So many things are happening all at ones.
People don't hate fashion, people hate how fashion industry operates.. promoting wrong body image, animal treatment, model abuse, eating disorder, etc. I think fashion industry can still thrives while at the same time be more socially and environmentally responsible.
Muhammad Ibnu Fajar the idea that the fashion industry isn't conscious of these things is one of the biggest misconceptions.
Correct. Actually, whatever clothes we are wearing right now, it's fashion. While very few people can afford designer clothing but all of us are still customers of fashion. I mean, all of us buy our clothes.
Muhammad Ibnu Fajar Most people who object to fashion specifically object to it because they feel like they make themselves exempt of it because it's frivolous, much like Andy here. The objections you describe here are mostly by people who are already into fashion.
Yeah...No. Not convinced. What's she's saying is still a load of crap. Clothes should never be made that important.
I think the same goes for art in general. People often think that art is just a social accessory that has nothing to do with them and often dismisses art as unnecessary but are blithely unaware that everything that holds a person's sanity is art itself. Everything we own is governed by art. The clothes we wear, the houses we live in, the streets we walk on, movies we watch, the food we eat, every single thing around us is governed by art. Without art there would be no advertisements to endorse companies, products, services that would reach thousands of markets which is the reason why there is production. But production without proper advertisement and marketing never reaches its target. And really, what a sad thing it is that people dismiss art as nothing but trash, useless, a waste of time when in fact every single material that a person owns shouts self expression and that is art whether we like it or not.
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
I am looking forward to a career in art and I love that more people become aware of this, you made my day
This!!
As much as I appreciate this defence of the arts given how they're perenially subjected to budget cuts (or threats thereof), this seems like an answer to a question that nobody is asking. Few people would suggest in a globalized age surrounded by international, globalized art and media that the sum total of (visual) art, music, movies/tv, dance, etc., have no social value. For the very reasons you articulate, the 'art of the everyday' is invaluable and I think fairly universally appreciated by us proles. What is more often attacked is high 'Art', particularly conceptual / abstract expressionist, which has far less social value - at least in the utilitarian sense, given the vanishingly small, hip, cultural vanguard that appreciates it. And likewise subject to attack is how this art can possibly be justified, given the millions of dollars typically spent on (frankly) farcically unoriginal works derivative of Duchamp from 100 years ago.
From 0:28 Listening to how Meryl hisses the "s" in stuff, you can hear the air quotes. They are made of venom and disdain.
I love this scene for so many reasons. The prime, of course, is that it's just so entertaining, so quotable and Meryl delivers it so impeccably. But upon reflection, I really do think that this is actually an establishing scene for both Andy and Miranda. First, it really crystalizes Andy's naivete in terms of her attitude about working at Runway. Yes, Miranda is the one who eviscerates her, but clearly every single person in that room is shocked and insulted at Andy snorting about what is a meaningful part of their work, and serious business. Second, it makes it clear that Miranda is a big deal for a reason. I feel like up to this point you really just see Miranda being difficult and demanding without contextualizing how formidable she is within the industry itself. She is in control the entire time, and despite being a terrible boss in an emotive sense, she clearly gets results. I think a lot of us have worked for people like this - I certainly have. And while I might not have fond feelings for them, I have to admit to respecting and being a bit in awe of them. It's a lot of work to have that kind of a presence.
Miranda read Andy under the floorboards, I aspire to drag someone on that level
i 2nd tht
needlessly hostile? Andy is a complete newcomer in that industry yet she has no respect for the people in it and it's is extremely unprofessional to giggle away to yourself in what is essentially a management meeting with your editor in chief
That was unprofessional though, she was bottom of the totem pole and told to learn and observe who I'm going to assume is a fashion editor, creative director (Nigel) and editor in chief conduct an important part of business for a magazine that costs a fortune to make. Also it is established at the beginning until she starts trying that she thinks it's all stupid and has no respect for the fashion industry
Hexmaniac Don't worry you'll get your chance to, you just gotta get on Miranda's level first ; )
Mermbo As upsetting as it may be if Andy knew she didn't have a clue why would she say anything in the first place? Nigel had already told her to watch & listen. As smart as she is it's hard to believe that she didn't realize her surroundings and what type of boss she's dealing with. What I'm talking about is the kind of intuition you Learn within 5 minutes of meeting someone or being inside some place.
I LOVE that you can see Emily moving in the background like "Oh, Miranda's gonna kill Andy, better get a front row seat."
Her actions are hilarious. 😂😂
J E Lyon, that detail made me laugh so much.
And Andi thought she was going to jump in a save her and be quit picking on new girl. Andi had to learn how the real world works. You think if she worked the New York Times or some other major news paper she wouldn't have been taken down at knee's like Miranda does here.
And Stanely Tucci is like “ohh no ohhhhhh no she shouldn’t have. Heh.”

@@roxannemua9350 But if she didn't select it (in the fashion-conscious sense), then she really does have nothing to do with the fashion industry. It only works as a burn if it brings it into the realm of something they are not indifferent about.
@@atimholt True. No matter how indifferent you are about fashion, you still have to wear * something *, so pulling out some piece from a store is better than going naked 😁
@@roxannemua9350 You mean she was putting *Andy* down, not Emily
This is a great representation of someone who is not only passionate about their job but also knowledgeable about the industry to tell/teach some nobody the rules of engagement when it comes to selecting the tinniest of details. It's not *just* a belt; it's about the cut, how it looks on the model, the colour, the way it'll hang, and how it will fit in with the other pieces. Small teachings like this is important for anyone to learn on any job and I'm glad that they had a scene talking about it with such an important industry like fashion.
Details on artistic flair aside, the speech just comes off as arrogance to me in the face of apathy. Though passionate people tend to not be unable to act haughty in the face of indifference. You seem to be no different, especially since you're quick to write off someone as a nobody for not being knowledgeable of an industry's rules.
@@EmptyMan000 well if andy was going to have a job there and not be knowledgeable about it then she deserved that speech
@@EmptyMan000 i didn’t see it as arrogance. miranda literally took the time to educate andy on the inner workings of the fashion industry when she could’ve dismissed her from the room or her job with just one sentence like she could’ve done with anybody else. to me, this shows miranda saw potential in andy, and miranda wanted andy to be better.
EmptyMan000 how? Andy came in day one with the “I’m not like other girls” attitude and had the balls to joke in a professional meeting. It’s just blatant disrespect and in our misogynistic society that’s the standard, to look down upon things like fashion, to disregard its impact. Andy doesn’t know or respect the industry, she doesn’t understand why it’s important to these people. That’s not apathy. No one likes it when outsiders come into your niche acting like everything you do is stupid and Miranda doesn’t like it either. It’s just basic respect.

fashion is wearable art. its a form of self expression.
It's also a trillion dollar industry, people in the business have to take it seriously.
Forgive me, I misread your comment. Should've read it again before responding.
I completly agree with you. People sometimes mock on others that are in the fashion industry (or simply like fashion) because they are not taken as 'substancial' people, they are taken as superficials and stupid, when actually clothing is such a beautiful art too. Coming from a person who doesn't dress very well (me, apart I don't have the money to buy that kind of clothes) I think is very important to take the fashion industry as they deserve.
Tom Rake Bluer damn I'm so bad at this form of art...
Tom Rake Bluer Art elitist a time event an emotion. This is to enlist envy and lust. It barely qualifies as art since its to decorate models not humans. As she said it trickles to actual people. Not part of designers desire.
Andy had this roast coming. Since she came to the initial interview, she basically showed no concern for even learning about the place where she was looking for a job. She got the job and she still had the attitude of "I´m too good for this". I have zero sympathy for her character.
I mean, she showed zero interest at the initial interview yet they still hired her. Not like she lied to them or pretended to be someone she is not. Kind of on them too, you get what you buy
The people surrounding her outside work were not helping. The boyfriend and the other two would gladly accept the gifts she brought from work but kept on mocking her for being focused and working hard. That scene with the phone 😠😠😠 I could slap them!
That's a dumb take. She was authentic to her co-workers and Miranda and she got the position. They knew what they were getting.
Damn ikr. She dont even care about the place i mean who come interview for a job and not even do any research about it? (Not read runway, not even know who miranda is) 🤷🏻♀️
@@jellybeanbear7017 yeah especially when she's trying to become a journalist. Like, girl. Please.
The tone, the power she possesses. Meryl Streep completely transforms. It’s amazing she’s a completely new person. It’s one of my favorite performances
This monologue is so effective. I mean fashion is everywhere if we look carefully and everything we wear is fashion as it represents individuality amongst people with specific kind of dressing habits.
“Why is no one ready” such a simple phrase yet the way Meryl Streep delivers the line makes it so memorable. I still think about it and this movie came out over 10 years ago.
I love how Andrea looks like she doesn’t know what’s happening and looks to Emily. But Emily gives her the look like “You messed up. You’re being read right now. Don’t you be looking to me for moral support”
“…filtered down to some tragic Casual Corner…fished it out of a clearance bin”. Epic shade and takedown.
That condescending little raise on her pitch/laugh when she says "it's sort of comical..." at the same moment she turns away from the outfit to give Emily one last glanze Amazing
“Lumpy blue sweater” “clearance bin” 😭😭😂😂😂
Agreed, cutie.
😂😂😂😂she roasted her
"fished it out" is a good phrase too
I think the point of this scene is, Andy thinks fashion is silly and arbitrary, while Miranda presents a very intelectual approach to it, gives historical and aesthetic background. It's good tactics to make Andy, a smart girl, realise there is actually a knowledge and understanding involved in creating a look.
Only problem with this scene is the fact that Andy is secretary bassicly🙂
That's not the problem at all? @@MultiRispo
Magnificent.....not just the acting but the writing as well.....an iconic movie scene.
The best example of what a good writer and a good actress can do when they meet. It starts with a very smart, economical line, but that’s just the beginning. It then takes an actress like Streep to deliver it with equal economy and restraint. Streep is incredibly smart and makes impeccable choices when contemplating how to modulate her voice and what physical business to execute before, during, and after each word or pause. I sense that nothing is left to chance and that everything is a deliberate decision made after much thought and internal rehearsal. Despite the conscious exercise, the end result always looks fresh and spontaneous, unpredictable but in the end inevitable. That is the mark of a real professional.
There are two types of people when it comes to fashion: those who see ‘stuff’ and those who see ‘millions of dollars and countless jobs’.
@Jocelyn Jigsby stupid... you live ur life in those 'things', so some people actually do care about fashion, it might not "save lives", but it certainly does matter, and the fact that you act otherwise makes you look... stupid. and dont think ur cool cause you dont care about fashion

+Superman64GOTY No big deal, that kind of job (waiting on someone, being someone's lackey) was not fit for long-term employment, probably as a summer job or vacation job. I would be glad to be fired. In the end, if you have watched this movie, Andy "fired" and abandoned Miranda. If I were her, I would have left on 1st day. Andy was not-so-smart and wasted some months of her life away waiting on an old hag.
+Superman64GOTY And I wouldn't put that company in my resume. So no way will an old hag like Miranda affect my future.
+mmm Well, if you watched the beginning during the interview, Andy is trying to be a writer and her options are this position or Auto Universe. And it's explained that a year with Miranda can lead to the ability to write for any magazine or paper - which was Andy's long-term employment goal. So 1. This was not meant to be long-term, but the stepping stone for her long-term career. 2. Miranda's message to the employer at the end of the film is the reason Andy got her new job! If Andy hadn't stayed with the job for as long as she did, she'd probably be stuck being a waitress or working in retail, or in your words "waiting on someone, being someone's lackey."
I have to say as a former big lover of Fashion 20 years ago I loved this Scene where Miranda reads Andy the Fashion Act
How she played this scene was incredible, but to find out she WROTE this scene blows my mind even more. I love her
THIS is THE scene which explains the entire rest of the movie. Indeed, it summarizes an entire industry. Rarely has any industry been explained so succinctly. 👍 Meryl Streep.

Lol, the look Nigel gives Miranda just before she tears Andy a new one: "She's about to end this girls whole career."
one of the greatest acting ever....
We all have our interests and passions. For some it's sports, others it's movies, or music, comic books and for some it's fashion. NONE of these passions are frivolous, especially when you consider entire industries have been built out of them. You can have any opinion you want, maybe you're not into any of the things I just mentioned above but you can expect to be bitched out by those passionate people that you think are so silly. You can especially expect that or even worse if one of those people is your boss that you're supposed to be impressing.
I can relate, i am very passionated at story telling and animation. I worked for animation company and really pissed when they said “its just children movie. No need to be so good.” I was like “you want to give children crap? Be my guess. Get out from this building.” While im not mean, i still pay attention in details like Miranda.
In other words, passionate can equal endearing or annoying depending on the context. Good to know.
@@souseiseki90 Ugh, this! "Anime is for kids" "Eww, you read manga?" "You're still not out of your comic book phase?" "What are you, five?" "Go find something more worthwhile to focus on!" Animation and story telling probably saved my life. I learned so much about life from them without having to experience crushing sadness and pain firsthand. They taught how to be a good person from them, and how to pick myself up when I fall. The people who don't like animation miss out on SO much!
