No because her voice is softer than the rest of the movie and she's speaking (aka losing time for her lmao) with Andy, which she wouldn't normally do, she doesn't care enough to guide Andy through Klein's showroom It's hilarious for sure, but it's totally coherent with the plot to have cut it!
I agree, Andy tried to at least be there for them the best way she could and they couldn't even be there for her. The scene when Miranda is calling Andy and they're all holding up the call by messing around with her is so aggravating, especially after Andy gives them freebies... Like, seriously.
I disagree. More like she made her friends the villains. She wasn't being herself like her friends knew her. In the end she realized her character was more important than keeping the job.
@@pierre0227 I don't think so. As humans we all grow up and change it's inevitable, that's what Andy was going through while working for Miranda. Even she herself admitted to liking some of the things fashion has to offer. There's nothing wrong with tapping into new things and changing because of it, in the process. So, it wasn't that she wasn't being herself, she was, it was just her growing. Something her friends should have realized and supported rather than accuse her and shame her for wanting to grow and if it wasn't for that metamorphic experience, Andy wouldn't have ever known how people and business in the Fashion Industry truly truly work.
@@pikazzor4186 Just saw this movie for the first time and thought the same! A lot of people see Miranda's abuse as a good thing, but I've seen first hand that it's mostly unproductive in any normal workplace and at worst, slows progress down. I think a lot of people glorify this because they're young and hope that a tough-love boss will improve their own lives one day.
absolutely. people in these comments go after andy's friends and shoot them down saying they were toxic and all that when this video isn't even about them. yeah, that may be true but that's a weird comparison to make trying to justify miranda's absolutely disgusting personality. both andy's friends and miranda are garbage. both can be true. not to mention that andy eventually quit her job because she saw herself becoming what she hated. and people call this behavior "iconic"? lol what is this weird sentiment that miranda was "iconic" by having a trash personality? stop mixing meryl streep with a character in the movie. everybody went after ellen when they found out how she was behind closed curtains when she is an incredibly successful person who broke barriers and pioneered her way through when being gay was considered a sin. nobody praised steve jobs' personality when people found out how much of an asshole he was with his subordinates and in his workplace. the absolute hypocrisy is just amusing in these comments.
Nah the comments tho, yeah agreed Andy was arrogant and looked down on her own job but Jesus I had a mother who acted like Miranda towards her own children and rest assured she bought herself a one way ticket to the nursing home
Definitely a power move. Notice that the first time Andy corrects Miranda by telling her her name, Miranda smiles, rattles off requests a mile a minute (knowing Andy will totally forget), then calls her "Emily" again. Miranda starts calling her "Andrea" only when she's jumped through a million hoops and passed a million little tests. That's when Andy has earned her name back. It's very sneaky, but very effective since Andy was a people pleaser and subconsciously wanted that prize of being called by her name again.
@Wendy Regis LOL of course she did. She spoiled her kids, probably ruining them for life, tossed aside their father(s), no meaningful relationships are seen at any point with friends or family... She devalued all of her employees and stabbed them all in the back and would step on any of them to get ahead. All so she could be admired and fawned over by strangers... Yes, that is literally throwing your life away to feed your narcissism.
Just because she was convinced to be the best at her job and made everyone worship her (remember *the list* ) it doesn’t mean that the magazine couldn’t get a better management or editorial direction. She just couldn’t bear the thought of not being powerful (Andy even thought that Miranda couldn’t survive not being editor in chief)

I love the fact that the author of the book tried to write Andy as the hero and Miranda as the villain, but we collectively as a society decided Andy’s friends were the villains, Andy sucked and Miranda IS the main character.
When I was younger and the film was just released I hated Miranda and Andy for neglecting her friends. But I watched the film again and I realised the villain was not Miranda, she was the one teaching Andy the ins and outs of the industry. Andy's friends said she changed, what they didn't realise is that Andy was actually 'growing, learning and adapting' to a new atmosphere. Her friends and BF instead of supporting her were actually holding her growth, which put Andy into crossroads of a potential career path. People say Andy working atmosphere was toxic, I disagree, if you're working with the very best they have a set of standards that each must be expected, Andy was no exception. Miranda knew Andy had great potential thus she tested her out and proved she had what it takes. I realised her Friends and BF were the real Toxic ones. They never really wanted her to grow.
I don't necessarily think Andy sucked. She was just young and in an industry she didn't understand. What I like about her was the moment she decided to stop playing the victim and decided to learn about the fashion world for the sake of her job. She made mistakes, but I also like that at the end she decided she had sold her soul to the industry and enough was enough. Her biggest flaw is going back to her toxic ex-boyfriend. Miranda was absurd, but I seriously love her.
@@jaydave1246 I think both sides are no villains. The film depicted Andy's friend as shallow. But I think there's more than that. Andy started as serious journalist in college. Of course her friends knew her and might expect Andy to stay the same path, but surprised that Andy took a job in fashion magazine. At first, they accepted it, but they also saw Andy drowning in her job and losing her old self and they didn't like to see her losing herself. Sure, Andy was become better at her job, but it didn't mean it's the career she wanted. So, at the end, Andy quit, find a new job that suit herself but still grateful of the experience with Miranda. It's the middle way. But yeah, tbh, her friends were overreacting in the movie.
"Oh Don't Be Ridiculous Andrea. Everybody Wants This. Everything Wants to be Us." That line was raw. Meryl was a genius for improvising it from Me to Us cuz she knew Miranda would never say that.
@@haryzleewow you put cruella and devil wears Prada in comparison, I saw the two movie one after another and loved both... Was thinking how comparable they both are.
Ah finally somebody saying it. All these Miranda fans "iconic, iconic" and they would write a thread of 45 messages on Twitter if their boss had one time said to them : "I don't like this skirt"
@@randomuser0483 your comment is pathetic. The beauty of movies is to relate the characters to real life. It’s interesting dialogue. You sound like a sad, sour person.
Yet the underdog ended up changing BECAUSE of the toxic work culture and did exactly what Miranda said to do. She made her choices. And dressed better. Check and mate.
“By all means move at a glacial pace… you know how that thrills me…”. I use that nearly on a daily basis. That and “don’t be ridiculous… everybody wants to be us”
It's lines like those that makes me wish I was still working! Well, not really but I can remember situations from when I was working that I could have used Miranda stingers.
Imagine miranda and cruella meet in some fashion events and both of them would have been a feud or tried to kill each other cuz they wanted to be on top.
I don't think miranda would try to kill cruella but she would give her murderous reviews. 🤔 Cruella on the other hand would try to kill miranda after reading what she has to say about cruella's new collection. 😂
She scares me but somehow I understand her. It must have been hard for her as a woman to succeed and be taken seriously in her job. She probably learned it the hard way. Maybe she had a tough boss when she was young too.
@@JenFromWebsite I dont think being a lovey dovey caring and considerate person would be able to make it to the top without being taken advantage of. Thats only possible if the rest of the world isnt cruel and narcissistic too. lmao
Andy's friends said she “changed” but in actuality Andy was growing, learning and adapting to a new atmosphere. Instead of supporting her, her friends and BF were actually holding her back, which put Andy in a more tough spot than she was already in. People say Andy’s working atmosphere was toxic maybe but if you're working with the very best everyone has a set of standards that they must uphold, Andy was no exception. Miranda knew Andy had great potential thus she tested her out and proved she had what it takes. Her friends and BF were the real Toxic ones, they never really wanted her to grow and leave her shell.
So true. I felt really bad for her when she was struggling to adapt and keep up in her workplace and her BF and "friends" provided so little support and respect and ultimately making her life unnecessarily even more difficult. And she reconciled with her BF at the end I was like defuck?
Well, I don't think the friends and the boyfriend managed the situation in the best way, but there is also the fact that Andy didn't make herself clear. She would constantly say that she will make it to their parties, that she will make it up when she couldn't make it, then failing to do so again. Be it friendship or a romantic, every relationship has boundaries, some customs and things that are important. Andy broke too many boundaries. That circle of friends and Andy grew apart the moment she prioritized her work over her private life. She is free to do that, but her friends and boyfriend are free to like or dislike the changes too.
So sick of people making moral and mental gymnastics to turn the friends and boyfriend into the villains: Andy wanted to be a journalist, a writer. They knew that and were surprised when she went full servant of an ABUSIVE boss figure. Don't know if you watched the full movie, but in the end she actually ended up being happy out of that job her friends and boyfriend hated and spoke against.
@@jorgeserna8411 and if it weren't for Miranda's cold referral on the job Andrea applied for at the ending, she wouldn't have been accepted either. Miranda helped Emily develop a good work ethic considering she used to only do the bare minimum from the start. Jobs are hard. What makes it even harder is when your supposed support system openly bullies, ridicules, and go against you for growing in a different phase than before. Unsupportive systems are what hinders a potential. Her bf and friends couldve approached her in the least toxic way possible when they knew from the start that she was struggling to get a job before she became Miranda's assistant. I don't romanticize toxic work culture but it is inevitable in reality. Fake it til you make and stand against your ground until you are able to adapt. The world will not cater to you just because you are falling vehibd. The least they couldve done was support Andrea and confront to her about it but instead they were the ones being inconsiderate and insensituve when she was struggling to adapt which by the way is a normal part of performance progress.
@@jorgeserna8411 be fr Nate is toxic for a boyfriend throwing a tantrum just because your girlfriend can't celebrate ur birthday with u, as an adult u need to adjust they can simply move the day to celebrate it 🤷 And her friends taking the phone away from her while Miranda was calling isn't fun at all they know how harsh Miranda is and they know the consequences of actions they did to Andy yet they still did it Miranda may be toxic and harsh but she helped Andy grow and it wasn't for Miranda, Andy wouldn't be a journalist
I find it interesting that Miranda often used the word “disappointment” when she talks to her employees. Instead of threatening them that they’ll be fired, she says “you disappoint me”. Imo this is more powerful cause that makes the person feel like they failed someone, that their boss thought they could do better and they will work harder in the future. However, when you threaten someone that they’ll be fired, that only makes the person scared or angry, but does not push your employee to perform better.
I shadowed a senior doctor who is just like Miranda and the first few months was very stressful but then I realized mistakes can be deadly in our field so I learned from them. Me and my co-interns just had to reach his almost perfect standards and it was honestly the best thing I've experienced.
For me, the best moment is in the end when Andy and Miranda suddenly meet on the street. Miranda sitting in the car, a microscopic smile in the corner of her mouth and eyes. A moment later she turns her icy look to the next imperfect creature - too slow driver: ...? Go!
The thing about this was back in the day I hated Miranda... Then I grew up and realized she had a point. Everything she's done is to make sure she succeeds if she succeeds everyone in the company succeeds and if one other person is wasting away that opportunity they actually dont deserve a pat on the back. Yes she's cold and heartless but she has to be there is a lot of weight on her shoulders and she really just demands that people perform 110% cause its not just their lives but everyone acquainted with the company is affected you wanna make it big you have to work hard. You have to toughen up and not be a crybaby over the most mediocre setbacks.
I think that’s best highlighted when she chastised Andy over the belts. And at the end of the day she really just wanted everyone to do their best and to take their work seriously, the product she ends up putting out either uplifts or ruins everyone in the company and the investors of the company.
I agree with everything. However one CAN be successful while NOT being a total asshole to hardworking staff. This persona that to be financially successful you have be a complete bitch to your employees is just not true.
@@user-rq4bf3om1q i disagree, since when did being respectful and decent to your team became a sign of unprofessional attitude and a liability? What kind of HR Policy/ book/ course/ training/ workshop encourages a manager to be a total piece of crap to their employees?
What's great about this is that despite Miranda's strictness, the audience understands her. Meryl gave this character that extra depth. We know why she is the way she is and in a way we want her to be this way.
2:25 “Have you completely lost your MIND?” **still takes the time miss-berating Anne Hathaway to look down and see what she’s wearing.** never noticed that before. BRILLIANT detail.
I actually loved the idea and the contrast of the delicate and colorful flowers against a gritty industrial background with a lot of concrete and wrought iron.
Lot of y’all missed the whole point of this movie… NEVER sacrifice your character and/or morals for a job no matter how “far” you think it will take you. Be true to yourself and be good to the people that love you.
Yeah always quit when things get tough. Your always gonna be in situations in any industry where you might have to walk over someone. Andy needed Miranda to find her way.
@@gelleh.5456 Not really, Andy didn't like her job. She worked for Miranda because it would open doors for her career. There is a diffrence between working hard and not having a life because your job does not allow it. Andy wated to be a journalist. That's just it, she didn't want to work at fashion or be a secretary.
What people? Andy's bf who couldn't handle her not being dependent on him or her "friends" who trashed her 24/7 for her job but had no problem taking the expensive gifts her job gave her? yea ok.
Leaving aside for a moment how a genius Streep brought to life (and beyond) a biting script, all these scenes are a short but complete picture of why working places are a hell nobody should be condemned to.
As I get older I realise how wrong Miranda's management style is...you'll never get the best out of your staff when you berate and belittle them.. they will do better creative work when they feel supported and respected.
i find it so fascinating how on one hand you have the comments saying how this is bad management and yet literally the most successful people, steve jobs, jeff bezos, mark zuckerburg, elon musk are just like miranda. If that actually were true dont you think that all these entrepreneurs would have had that approach? Yet their companies are still blooming
@@shmeepness1700 companies like Amazon are basically slave factories, they're "blooming" because of exploitation, not to mention Bezos barely pays taxes (so does Elon Musk). The more money Amazon gets, the more they grow, then they destroy small businesses by their low prices (they can afford it once again by exploiting workers and the environment), make even more money, and it never ends. Basically any giant corporation is full of shit, but they can cover their sins with their wealth and PR. People say that money rules the world for a reason
@@makingmilkmiracle oh by wrong i thought op meant as in it doesnt work not wrong as in morally wrong. Yeah that i can agree with that, the corporate world not having morals isnt that shocking. I honestly dont think a single billionaire made honest money
I NEVER noticed how Anne played Andy as a bit more louder until the end when she shifts more into a Miranda type and starts talking softer like Meryls Miranda voice. EXCELLENCE🙌
my husband said that we only think that meryl streep was so good in this role because she plays this character all the time. So I challenged him to come up with one movie where she played a character like this, He couldn't do it. I said he only thinks that because this performance was so amazing that he thinks this is who meryl streep is.
When I was younger and the film was just released I hated Miranda and Andy for neglecting her friends. But I watched the film again and I realised the villain was not Miranda, she was the one teaching Andy the ins and outs of the industry.

Yeah they were mostly just jelous since Andy was moving on and doing better than them. I've had it happen, sometimes you just out grow people as you change and succeed. Especially when your young and new in careers. Things can change rather quickly, especially when you're doing well.
the biggest plot twist in this movie is when miranda starts talking about the twin’s recital as if she was there but she actually *wasn’t* there. when i first saw this movie that scene had me in a death grip.
tip for you, work hard and be a professional like her, but don't act like her, no one deserves to work with someone having that attitude, put yourself on the others shoes, that's what a boss is, I'm a fashion designer and back in the past I used to have an attitude, I was a Diva, don't accepting anyone ideas and I was very insisive on my directions, but that does'nt work and everyone gonna get you as the bitch you are, and that's not cool, be humble, be pro active and determinated, get other people involved emotionally in the projects, and you'll get success in whatever you're doing, work as a team
THIS...... You said it perfectly... I don't have a problem with the character being focused on perfection. But this idea to be rude and insulting to your employees is NOT going to get the best work out of them.
Meryl is a wonder actress; but in this picture, she is marvelous one. What I like the most about the movie is that she never races her voice to show her disapproval: she uses her eyes to send the message she wants to convey. In the movie, she applies the saying, "When running a business is better to be disliked than to be loved".
the fact that she never ever raised her voice makes her 9x more terrifying
ikr her soft voice-
meryl did it on purpose, i love her
I had a friend designer who knew how to push people buttons and never raised his voice.
That was Meryl's idea. Very effective for the caracter. They wisely gave her free rein to shape it.
That's what I was going to say.

Cruella:I am women hear me ro-

I like how they put that scene last in this video
If Andy wore that throughout the movie just to spite her that would've been awesome.
YES¡
especially after purposely calling her 'Emily', moments after Andy corrected Miranda
without any words, she destroyed her.
“Get away from her, she’s useless. And unattractive.” LMFAO, I’m screaming. They shouldn’t have cut that scene.
Miranda probably doesn’t remember unnecessary people but she remembers useless unattractive Liz 😭
That’s Donna. She is not apologising for being herself.

Ah finally somebody saying it. All these Miranda fans "iconic, iconic" and they would write a thread of 45 messages on Twitter if their boss had one time said to them : "I don't like this skirt"
miranda is fun as a character, awful as a real life boss. aint no shame in indulging one's self in media, yknow?
@@fan2jnrc I dont admire Miranda , I admire Meryl Streep's ability to play a total bitch .
@@randomuser0483 your comment is pathetic. The beauty of movies is to relate the characters to real life. It’s interesting dialogue. You sound like a sad, sour person.
Yet the underdog ended up changing BECAUSE of the toxic work culture and did exactly what Miranda said to do. She made her choices. And dressed better. Check and mate.
“By all means move at a glacial pace… you know how that thrills me…”. I use that nearly on a daily basis. That and “don’t be ridiculous… everybody wants to be us”
It's lines like those that makes me wish I was still working!
Well, not really but I can remember situations from when I was working that I could have used Miranda stingers.
@@nancydemoss7904 what job did you used to do?
@@sjinzaar Office work, not secretarial. More technical office work.
@@nancydemoss7904 before I went into teaching, I also worked in an office. Loved the friendships I built there, but the gossip can become toxic. LOL.
Yeah, I want to use it but know it's so harsh that I dont.
Imagine miranda and cruella meet in some fashion events and both of them would have been a feud or tried to kill each other cuz they wanted to be on top.
I always imagine Miranda doing the Barona role
The thing is cruella is more of a designer/fashionista where miranda is creative director of a fashion magazine but both have killer style
Miranda priestly:spots? For spring??
*GROUNDBREAKING*
You can watch death becomes her for something like that
I don't think miranda would try to kill cruella but she would give her murderous reviews. 🤔 Cruella on the other hand would try to kill miranda after reading what she has to say about cruella's new collection. 😂
She scares me but somehow I understand her. It must have been hard for her as a woman to succeed and be taken seriously in her job. She probably learned it the hard way. Maybe she had a tough boss when she was young too.
Doesn’t mean that you have to be a narcissistic asshole to everyone around you.
@@JenFromWebsite in the fashion industry it does.
@@JenFromWebsite How do you think people get to the top?
@@JenFromWebsite I dont think being a lovey dovey caring and considerate person would be able to make it to the top without being taken advantage of. Thats only possible if the rest of the world isnt cruel and narcissistic too. lmao
Literally
Andy's friends said she “changed” but in actuality Andy was growing, learning and adapting to a new atmosphere. Instead of supporting her, her friends and BF were actually holding her back, which put Andy in a more tough spot than she was already in. People say Andy’s working atmosphere was toxic maybe but if you're working with the very best everyone has a set of standards that they must uphold, Andy was no exception. Miranda knew Andy had great potential thus she tested her out and proved she had what it takes. Her friends and BF were the real Toxic ones, they never really wanted her to grow and leave her shell.
So true. I felt really bad for her when she was struggling to adapt and keep up in her workplace and her BF and "friends" provided so little support and respect and ultimately making her life unnecessarily even more difficult. And she reconciled with her BF at the end I was like defuck?
Well, I don't think the friends and the boyfriend managed the situation in the best way, but there is also the fact that Andy didn't make herself clear.
She would constantly say that she will make it to their parties, that she will make it up when she couldn't make it, then failing to do so again.
Be it friendship or a romantic, every relationship has boundaries, some customs and things that are important. Andy broke too many boundaries.
That circle of friends and Andy grew apart the moment she prioritized her work over her private life. She is free to do that, but her friends and boyfriend are free to like or dislike the changes too.
So sick of people making moral and mental gymnastics to turn the friends and boyfriend into the villains: Andy wanted to be a journalist, a writer. They knew that and were surprised when she went full servant of an ABUSIVE boss figure. Don't know if you watched the full movie, but in the end she actually ended up being happy out of that job her friends and boyfriend hated and spoke against.
@@jorgeserna8411 and if it weren't for Miranda's cold referral on the job Andrea applied for at the ending, she wouldn't have been accepted either. Miranda helped Emily develop a good work ethic considering she used to only do the bare minimum from the start. Jobs are hard. What makes it even harder is when your supposed support system openly bullies, ridicules, and go against you for growing in a different phase than before. Unsupportive systems are what hinders a potential. Her bf and friends couldve approached her in the least toxic way possible when they knew from the start that she was struggling to get a job before she became Miranda's assistant. I don't romanticize toxic work culture but it is inevitable in reality. Fake it til you make and stand against your ground until you are able to adapt. The world will not cater to you just because you are falling vehibd. The least they couldve done was support Andrea and confront to her about it but instead they were the ones being inconsiderate and insensituve when she was struggling to adapt which by the way is a normal part of performance progress.
@@jorgeserna8411 be fr Nate is toxic for a boyfriend throwing a tantrum just because your girlfriend can't celebrate ur birthday with u, as an adult u need to adjust they can simply move the day to celebrate it 🤷
And her friends taking the phone away from her while Miranda was calling isn't fun at all they know how harsh Miranda is and they know the consequences of actions they did to Andy yet they still did it
Miranda may be toxic and harsh but she helped Andy grow and it wasn't for Miranda, Andy wouldn't be a journalist
Plus the scene where she checks out "new Andy" twice because her outfit was that good
She doesn’t even have to raise her voice to terrify people, that’s true power right there 💖💖💖
She maintains her femininity
@@visionist7 so being loud isn’t feminine? yikes dude
@@illuminaticonfirmed1389 who TF are you to decide what's feminine, dope.
@@illuminaticonfirmed1389 its black feminine apparently
I find it interesting that Miranda often used the word “disappointment” when she talks to her employees. Instead of threatening them that they’ll be fired, she says “you disappoint me”. Imo this is more powerful cause that makes the person feel like they failed someone, that their boss thought they could do better and they will work harder in the future. However, when you threaten someone that they’ll be fired, that only makes the person scared or angry, but does not push your employee to perform better.
I shadowed a senior doctor who is just like Miranda and the first few months was very stressful but then I realized mistakes can be deadly in our field so I learned from them. Me and my co-interns just had to reach his almost perfect standards and it was honestly the best thing I've experienced.
Medical profession is full of Miranda Priestleys! I m an Indian.
Meryl - one of the best actress in human history. Minimal acting yet sooooo impressive. Very subtle gestures yet she strikes like lightning.
Damn straight!
I feel like my favorite line is “why is no one Rehh-deeee?”
It is the best lol
I love Miranda's quiet "that's all" and finger movements under her chin or face, so subtle but so unique.
they could not have picked a more perfect actress to play miranda, meryl streep is owning every damn second shes on screen in that movie
She owned almost every character she played. I love her character in Julie and Julia, Death Becomes Her
I said to myself go ahead, take a chance, hire the smart, fat girl. - love it.
Cracked me up!
"Floral? For Spring? Groundbreaking."
Why do I feel insulted even though it's not even directed at me? 🤣
She moves quietly...She whispers and heavens fall..She is creatively critical. She smiles but with a certain purpose...
For me, the best moment is in the end when Andy and Miranda suddenly meet on the street. Miranda sitting in the car, a microscopic smile in the corner of her mouth and eyes. A moment later she turns her icy look to the next imperfect creature - too slow driver: ...? Go!
My favorite - “Why is no one reeeeady….”
The “sweater slam” will always be the greatest! The delivery and choice of words were superb.
It should be called "Miranda Priestly being a savage queen for 5 minutes"
“Please it’s just I don’t know drizzling!” 😂😂😂
My entire body tenses at "you can do anything...RIGHT?!" God what an amazing Actress!!!
I can't believe she treated Donna that way! I mean... it's DONNA!
5:17 it's iconic how she can despise you without saying a word
Honourable mention should go to: “Is there some reason why my coffee isn’t here? Did she go to Rwanda for the beans, or something?”
My mom used the sme kind of lime ages before the movie came out - "Why isn't the salmon done yet , did they drive out to the river to catch it ?"
Lol same with my friend's mum at KFC, "did they kill the chicken?"
If narcissism could be drawn up on a piece of paper, it would be her character.
Devil wears prada is my favorite movie ever! This clip is so iconic ❤
she looks so good
The devil works hard,but miranda priestly works harder.
The thing about this was back in the day I hated Miranda... Then I grew up and realized she had a point. Everything she's done is to make sure she succeeds if she succeeds everyone in the company succeeds and if one other person is wasting away that opportunity they actually dont deserve a pat on the back. Yes she's cold and heartless but she has to be there is a lot of weight on her shoulders and she really just demands that people perform 110% cause its not just their lives but everyone acquainted with the company is affected you wanna make it big you have to work hard. You have to toughen up and not be a crybaby over the most mediocre setbacks.
I think that’s best highlighted when she chastised Andy over the belts. And at the end of the day she really just wanted everyone to do their best and to take their work seriously, the product she ends up putting out either uplifts or ruins everyone in the company and the investors of the company.
I agree with everything. However one CAN be successful while NOT being a total asshole to hardworking staff. This persona that to be financially successful you have be a complete bitch to your employees is just not true.
@@user-wv1yt idk when you’re at the top and you have so many underlings and in a cut throat industry, being nice can be a total liability
@@user-rq4bf3om1q i disagree, since when did being respectful and decent to your team became a sign of unprofessional attitude and a liability? What kind of HR Policy/ book/ course/ training/ workshop encourages a manager to be a total piece of crap to their employees?
@@user-wv1yt oh sweet baby pea.
her sarcasm is UNMATCHED hahaha
Whoever edited this, you're a genius
"That's all" now shoo
What's great about this is that despite Miranda's strictness, the audience understands her. Meryl gave this character that extra depth. We know why she is the way she is and in a way we want her to be this way.
can we just take a minute to appreciate that meryl is so beautiful with or without make up
0:17 the way she says where are the belts for this dress- Why is noone reeeeaddyyy
ALWAYS gets me!!!!!
2:25 “Have you completely lost your MIND?” **still takes the time miss-berating Anne Hathaway to look down and see what she’s wearing.** never noticed that before. BRILLIANT detail.
'Tales of your incompetence do not interest me" will forvever be an iconic line
"There you are Emily. How many times do I have to scream your name"😂😂😂
I actually loved the idea and the contrast of the delicate and colorful flowers against a gritty industrial background with a lot of concrete and wrought iron.
“No”
@@Miss-Magician Lmao
No
THAT LOOK at the end..
"That's all!"
Two words, but how she delivers them is devastating
The way she acted when she said, "Go ahead. Hire the smart fat girl." Hilarious.
Her voice control is pure power!
Lot of y’all missed the whole point of this movie… NEVER sacrifice your character and/or morals for a job no matter how “far” you think it will take you. Be true to yourself and be good to the people that love you.
Thank you, finally someone who understood the movie!
Yeah always quit when things get tough. Your always gonna be in situations in any industry where you might have to walk over someone.
Andy needed Miranda to find her way.
@@gelleh.5456 Not really, Andy didn't like her job. She worked for Miranda because it would open doors for her career. There is a diffrence between working hard and not having a life because your job does not allow it. Andy wated to be a journalist. That's just it, she didn't want to work at fashion or be a secretary.
What people? Andy's bf who couldn't handle her not being dependent on him or her "friends" who trashed her 24/7 for her job but had no problem taking the expensive gifts her job gave her? yea ok.
@@gelleh.5456Praying you have friends
Okay... So basically, she's Baroness von Hellman's slightly more laid-back cousin. 🤔🙄
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?
@@fernandoalvarez3782 What do you mean by?; "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" 🤔
As soon as I saw Cruella I immediately thought that 😂
She is the better version
I think they'll be good friends 😆😆
That’s all… god I love that line.
Andy: is there anything else I can do?
Miranda: *nods* …..your job
MY FAVORITE LINE
1:40 Ann Hathaway's whizz is priceless 😂😂😂
Oh so Donna was there but rejected :( She got a better offer at Pearson Spectre Litt though XD
Oh I know right
She took that Miranda vibe into Suits
Leaving aside for a moment how a genius Streep brought to life (and beyond) a biting script, all these scenes are a short but complete picture of why working places are a hell nobody should be condemned to.
As I get older I realise how wrong Miranda's management style is...you'll never get the best out of your staff when you berate and belittle them.. they will do better creative work when they feel supported and respected.
Okay, but, are they gonna keep your company running ?
Yeah, no
i find it so fascinating how on one hand you have the comments saying how this is bad management and yet literally the most successful people, steve jobs, jeff bezos, mark zuckerburg, elon musk are just like miranda. If that actually were true dont you think that all these entrepreneurs would have had that approach? Yet their companies are still blooming
@@shmeepness1700 companies like Amazon are basically slave factories, they're "blooming" because of exploitation, not to mention Bezos barely pays taxes (so does Elon Musk). The more money Amazon gets, the more they grow, then they destroy small businesses by their low prices (they can afford it once again by exploiting workers and the environment), make even more money, and it never ends. Basically any giant corporation is full of shit, but they can cover their sins with their wealth and PR. People say that money rules the world for a reason
@@makingmilkmiracle oh by wrong i thought op meant as in it doesnt work not wrong as in morally wrong. Yeah that i can agree with that, the corporate world not having morals isnt that shocking. I honestly dont think a single billionaire made honest money
Iconic doesn’t even begin 👑
“Oh it’s just DRIZZLING!”
"Why is no one reeEEEaadYYYY?"
Meryl Streep is iconic and incredible in this movie. Nobody could have played Miranda Priestly like Streep. Nobody.
And then this woman plays Donna at Mamma Mia, too 💕💕
1:15 - at a time when hanging up phones was an art form
I NEVER noticed how Anne played Andy as a bit more louder until the end when she shifts more into a Miranda type and starts talking softer like Meryls Miranda voice. EXCELLENCE🙌
“Hire the smart, fat girl” LMFAOOO
my husband said that we only think that meryl streep was so good in this role because she plays this character all the time. So I challenged him to come up with one movie where she played a character like this, He couldn't do it. I said he only thinks that because this performance was so amazing that he thinks this is who meryl streep is.
3:47 I love this scene. Her look, her swagger
Meryl Streep fantastic here!! Very beautiful and sarcastic, love Miranda ❤️
Streepzilla was flawless in every moment of every scene. Just a delight to watch her.
" did you fall down and smack your little head on the pavement"
So funny
More like being Savage for 5 minutes🤣🤣🤣
When I was younger and the film was just released I hated Miranda and Andy for neglecting her friends. But I watched the film again and I realised the villain was not Miranda, she was the one teaching Andy the ins and outs of the industry. Andy's friends said she changed, what they didn't realise is that Andy was actually 'growing, learning and adapting' to a new atmosphere. Her friends and BF instead of supporting her were actually holding her growth, which put Andy into crossroads of a potential career path. People say Andy working atmosphere was toxic, I disagree, if you're working with the very best they have a set of standards that each must be expected, Andy was no exception. Miranda knew Andy had great potential thus she tested her out and proved she had what it takes.
I realised her Friends and BF were the real Toxic ones. They never really wanted her to grow.
You mean an environment where people are back stabbing each other and bring others down to success is a good work environment?
@@bluehikari6945 sorry that’s life , what ever job you take that stuff happens but life goes on . U need to have tough skin
Yeah they were mostly just jelous since Andy was moving on and doing better than them. I've had it happen, sometimes you just out grow people as you change and succeed. Especially when your young and new in careers. Things can change rather quickly, especially when you're doing well.
@@letisione8136 As someone working nights in retail I have never once experienced that sort of thing but hyperbolise all you want I guess
I love how you've copied and pasted this same tirade all throughout the comments section. It's always a joy to find.
So, listen… Miranda… ASMR… match made in heaven.
Wooof! Amazing delivery of dialogue and expressions
0:04 that girl went 💨💃
the biggest plot twist in this movie is when miranda starts talking about the twin’s recital as if she was there but she actually *wasn’t* there. when i first saw this movie that scene had me in a death grip.
It’s an iconic role for Meryl Streep. She nailed it perfectly.
I love Miranda's "Has anyone got anything else I can possibly use? Antibacterial wipes perhaps?" 😂
One of the greatest actresses ever 👑
tip for you, work hard and be a professional like her, but don't act like her, no one deserves to work with someone having that attitude, put yourself on the others shoes, that's what a boss is, I'm a fashion designer and back in the past I used to have an attitude, I was a Diva, don't accepting anyone ideas and I was very insisive on my directions, but that does'nt work and everyone gonna get you as the bitch you are, and that's not cool, be humble, be pro active and determinated, get other people involved emotionally in the projects, and you'll get success in whatever you're doing, work as a team
THIS...... You said it perfectly... I don't have a problem with the character being focused on perfection. But this idea to be rude and insulting to your employees is NOT going to get the best work out of them.
The fact every single part and dialogue she did on the movie is here, just demonstrates how much she *did* steal the show
I use glacial pace all the time.
Meryl is a wonder actress; but in this picture, she is marvelous
one. What I like the most about the movie is that she never races her voice to show her disapproval: she uses her eyes to send the message she wants to convey. In the movie, she applies the saying, "When running a business is better to be disliked than to be loved".
the glance at andy's shoes... could have froze hell
0:15 is a very underrated scene.
