Meryl Streep said in an interview once that she observed the male actors she co-starred with and saw their silent demeanour as scary and dominating, every one would stop and listen and be intimidated. So she portrayed Miranda this way.
@@augustinefaithdefender Unnfortunately, my work environment is hostile enough without me saying anything precisely because of incompetents thinking they're better than anyone else and making excuses every day to hide their mistakes and failures...
The older I get, the more I see that Miranda priestly was actually extremely patient with her employees. It’s a high pressure job where everyone has to deliver results right away. It’s annoying for people to be unprepared, lagging behind, or not have the right info that they’re expected to have
_Exactly._ I'm getting into journalism myself and I cannot stress the importance of scheduling. If you're incapable of staying on that rigid schedule, if you can't get your work in on time, that's putting the entire publication at risk. Magazines and newspapers _have_ to have tight deadlines so they can send articles, stories and photos off for printing. Teams of people are relying on you to have your shit together, to have constant fresh ideas and to be a tireless worker. If you can't deal with that responsibility, this isn't the career path for you. And I say that in the politest way possible. Miranda was more patient and lenient with Andy than I would've been.
@@youthisreadwrong2274 Andy was a dumbass for screwing that job up. The twins were obviously lying, and she decided to listen to them instead of calling Emily for help. Gd knows Emily is probably on call 24/7 like everyone else And in doing so, Andy completely embarrassed Miranda. Miranda could have yelled at her, fired her on the spot, or found a way to embarrass her in front of her coworkers. Instead she gave her another challenge Is Miranda a good boss? No. Is she nice or at least reasonable? No. But some of the “nice” bosses I’ve worked for were not nearly as patient as this.
Miranda- You no style or sense of fashion. Andy- I think that depends on ... Miranda- No. No. That wasn't a question. Miranda didn't just though shade. She threw the whole palm tree at Andy. Ouch. lol.
That’s why she’s the boss, every organisation has one and they don’t give a damn what people think of them which is probably why they are so successful.
I never knew why people didn't like her. I mean, yes, she is short with everyone, but she is busy, she can't just be nice all the time and waste time like that.
@@robbiecameron2339 Cruella was just more outward in her display of quick-thinking and chaos. I guarantee Miranda was thinking at 90 miles per hour most of the time, she's just better composed. Myself and Miranda are both ENTJs so I know exactly how that feels! 😊
I learned throughout the years, people like her or humans in general act this way at first, later they tend to like you! The best defense is to not take it personal, act normal and not show you are intimidated. They respect that.
I went through this in the military where i recall a senior sergeant who treated me exactly the same way. I was bullied by him for years and at the end i was his "best soldier" and had his trust.
They rip your heart out until you become numb. They like you when there's nothing left in you, and I'd pass up winning their favor any day to keep my soul. They don't have a soul and don't want you to have one either.
That always amazed me. All of them were gaining success in their roles, but they sh*tted on her for doing the same thing. Yes, the birthday thing sucked...and I’d be hurt too, but i understand when you’re trying and acknowledge the effort.
@LuisGomune Her friends are kind of the worst though. They cared until they got the free stuff, then jeopardized her job... OH! And Nate liked it when Andy got a little more glamourous, BECAUSE of the job... So they're kind of hypocrites. Miranda is doing what it takes to make it in the industry, while not always nice we can see where she comes from, but Andy's friends... suck.
But towards the end Miranda gave a strong recommendation for Andy in the publishing industry that she was applying for. When Andy got out of the car and walked away, Miranda saw how driven and strong-willed Andy is, just like her.
But I already think that Miranda is strong, confident and decisive. And I'm a man. Andy's friends however are the devil. I'd prefer working for Miranda because I believe that she could make me a better person.
I lowkey wish this could be turned into a series. Miranda fascinates me. I often wondered how she got to be the fearless, heartless, terrifying boss she became and what effect it had on her life.
LITERALLY this movie should've been a series and I will STAND by that. There's SO much that could've been done, and so much development for a whole line of characters. The idea of watching Miranda's upbringing intrigued me just as much as just seeing her be vulnerable a few more times, or to just see her family dynamic in detail. 😭
The last scene is like a teacher realising that made that one student far more batter and ready for some big stuffs. That smile of Miranda is priceless, I feel like she never was the devil in the story but those fake friends and the boyfriend who refused to support his girlfriend's career but was pleased that his girlfriend will support his career (what a jerk he was)
At least she was competent at her job. Being arrogant is one thing; being incompetent is another; but being arrogant while being incompetent is the worst.
Yeah people act like it's okay for Miranda to be disrespectful to literally everyone and meets because she's hArDwOrKinG. Having people call you by your actual name is not a privilege you have to earn
Oh how I love to use some of her lines in my day-to-day life - saying “please bore someone else with your questions”, “details of your incompetence do not interest me” or “why is no one reeeeaaaaaaddddy” is hilarious 😂
I'm not even kidding when I say our school dean in high school was EXACTLY LIKE THIS! Had the same hair color, haircut, attitude and fashion omfg. She was also tasked with interviewing all the students that applied for our school (coz we were kinda exclusive and had a limited student number) and I'm proud to say I kinda nailed that shit, coz she assigned me to the first section. There was a time in 7th grade where phones were banned, and whenever there's news that she's walking in the hallway, we would hide our phones (even threw mine outside near the plants) and collectively clean the room. 9th grade came, and she became our Physics teacher AND OMFG. She was fucking hilarious. We all had good grades coz we were assigned to answer by our seating arrangement and we all had fair chances. We understood her lessons, passed the exams, and literally loved her and laughed with her in class. Just not outside tho LMFAO. She even mentioned to us how she knew we were all just fake about the cleaning thingy whenever she was around and how we all greet her sweetly lmfao. She's one of my favorite teachers in High School. Thank you, Professor Capundo.
*It's amazing how different there is between Emily and Andrea, the way they talk to Miranda. Emily (For the admiration she has for Miranda), always when she goes to talk to Miranda, she gets nervous, And NEVER ask Miranda anything. But Andrea, she really asks, corrects if she needs to (just like the question of the name), isn't afraid, or speak whatever it is to Miranda (even if it sounds silly). Even in the interview, Andrea did not accept Miranda's "NO". This movie is an icon!* 😆
When a boss can scare you by yelling or puffing their chest, it's terrifying enough. When a boss can scare you in calm, measured voice without raising decibel nor yelling, that's a different level all together. Reminds me of the first time Steven Universe meets White Diamond.
My mom used to work for a big magazine and gave me the book version of Devil wears Prada when I was a kid. Back then I couldn't stand this character and felt bad for Endy but looking back at everything and remembering how mom's job was from an adult's standpoint everything makes sense. It's a job with many stressful responsibilities that will be dumped on you if you can't put your foot down and thus you'll be responsible for any delays and messups; not communicating demands and goals clearly with brevity & no room for compromise will disrupt the process across all other links in the production chain. Miranda literally had no choice other than behave the way she did, otherwise her enterprise would've gone tits up.
Meryl Streep is frickin' amazing! The smallest thing---the slight move of an eyebrow or some barely noticeable micro-expression--can sell a line perfectly. _How does she know how to do this?_ I guess that's why she's the best actress on earth!
I love how she never raises her voice
That is all part of her charm
Ikr and still manage to scare people
@@inxe470 That is how a boss runs the tightest ships in the world.

@@crystalsolis I believe she said " I got that from Clint Eastwood"
“Why is no one reeeeeeeeaaaaady” hahahah the comments are the best part of this
🤟😊
I looked around to make sure my stuff was ready when she said this!
I actually used "why is no one readdddyyyyy" into an actual phone call once. It was a MOMENT.
Details?
I've used it, too. Only a few get it.
I've used it a few times too working an event haha, one person got it and laughed
Sometimes I use "Please bore someone else with your questions." And "For spring? Groundbraking..." Amazing how many times you can use these... lol
I used the "why is she not reeeeeeeeaddddddy" line on my girlfriend.
florals. for spring.
groundbreaking.

I said this once to my co-worker who is ACTUALLY my friend, and she just said BITCH !!! Lol. It was funny.
I've used that line against friends and people that disappoint me haha
That quiet voice is something else, I can’t even envision exerting that much power with that quiet of a voice. It must be rooted in status.
The most powerful people I have ever met never raised their voice. There is an emotional lack of control that comes with yelling.
*dramatically throws newspaper 😂
I think
"Elegantly throws newspaper" would have been more appropriate

@Cathy Diane I agree with your comment
"Unless someone decides to be an incubus of viral plague." The most underrated shady line🤣
Not if the 1st assistant decided to become an incubus viral plague 😂
Miranda- You no style or sense of fashion.
Andy- I think that depends on ...
Miranda- No. No. That wasn't a question.
Miranda didn't just though shade. She threw the whole palm tree at Andy.
Ouch. lol.
Andy must be crushed under that palm tree from all that shade that Miranda hits her with.
That’s why she’s the boss, every organisation has one and they don’t give a damn what people think of them which is probably why they are so successful.
The word "successful" is doing an awful lot of work here.
this is called narcissisms. You can be confident and bossy without being rude. Narcissists lack empathy and they do not care.
If you care, “you’re consumed by others, “ if you don’t care… “you’re heartless, and unkind.” 🤷♀️
“😊, 🙂, 😐, go🙄” loool that is the funniest scene
I never knew why people didn't like her. I mean, yes, she is short with everyone, but she is busy, she can't just be nice all the time and waste time like that.
I agree. I hate being nice all the time. Why bother. People act stupid anyway
People like her are only fun in movies. I had someone like her as my boss and trust me, I still have nightmares about it.
It's the fact that yes, you are busy, but you also need to be polite.
In real life though, that kind of attitude would not do you good.
@@sanfordpress54 you probably need to tone down your superiority complex then.

For once, I want a movie where the girl does choose to be next The Miranda Priestly and does cease the opportunity.
Oh yes!
I WANT TO BE HER.💛
Seize*
Lol technically, by quitting, Andrea *did* cease the opportunity
I love the way she exhibits her power, like her aloofness, her tone/volume, and her nerve.
This character is the best study on boss bitch and queen villain I have come across.
If this character were a man, he would be labeled strong and self-confident and decisive.
Interesting comment. Like they did with steve jobs when he was Rude with his team
But I already think that Miranda is strong, confident and decisive. And I'm a man. Andy's friends however are the devil. I'd prefer working for Miranda because I believe that she could make me a better person.
