Plot vs Sub-plot

Rating: 5/10 (17 January 2007)

There are many disturbing things about this movie but the most annoying is the fact that the sub-plot dominates the plot. Or is it that the sub-plot is actually the plot? yes, that's it.
The Plot: is supposed to be about a young woman "Andrea" who has to make choices and how she deals with them.
The Sub-Plot: is supposed to be about the fashion industry and how everyone deals with "Andrea." I am wrong - it is backwards. The plot that dominates is the fashion industry and all the "glitz" that goes with it - the power, the sycophants, and the overlords. Well, the movie is called "The Devil Wears Prada." So the plot really is about the fashion industry of which "Miranda" has made herself the leading character. (Meryl Streep once again does a great job making you forget she is Meryl Streep and making you believe she is totally her character, "Miranda.")
The plot that is ignorable is about a young woman who learns a lesson.
Therefore, this movie glamorizes the superficial - no matter how much pain you go through... isn't it all so beautiful and aren't you all so beautiful, isn't life beautiful? 5/10
