Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway play two parallel characters in the Devil Wears Prada (2006).
Meryl Streep plays the role of Miranda Priestly editor and chief of fashion magazine "Runway" and Hathaway plays the role Priestly's assistant Andrea (Andy) Sachs. Andy, fresh out Northwestern University is an inspiring journalist, but some how leads up in front of Miranada Priestly's office asking for an interview. Sach's doesn't fit the usal criteria for Priestly's assistant but is given the job anyway.
As Andy starts her new job she learns that she needs to change her self if she wants to do well. Andy begins to lose weight changes her wardorbe style to a more "chic" look. Her friends and family don't recongnize her. Her co-worker, Priestly's other assistant Emily shows how the presure of being involved in modeling bussiness affected her life. Worried of not being to fit in any of the clothes at Paris's Fashion Week, she goes on a strict diet. The movie portrays this act as a joke, but people really do things like this.
Andy realizes what how different she had become and quiets her job and goes in search of a job that will better suit her.
Reflection: This topic reminded me of this movie. The scene where Emily talks about not until Fashion. I thought to myself why is she doing, if she does want to lose weight she could just diet, exercise but not starve herself. No one should have to do that just appear beautiful.
