Meryl Streep is AMAIZING in this, so much expression with so subtle looks, she is phenominal. i am not a fashion buff, but i love this movie because the story and characters are so great
Loved when you tried guessing the cost of that outfit. The hat alone was probably around $1500 and the bag she was wearing could easily have been another $1000 to $3000. Full outfit was probably around $10k to $15k or even up to $20k depending on shoes and the bag and other accessories.
I've worked in the fashion business for almost 30yrs (also grew up on a farm in Iowa, btw!) One of the first jobs i had after college was working for a very Miranda-like woman.
Not nearly at the level of the fashion hierarchy portrayed here, but the daily, silent, head-to-toe outfit scrutiny and the rapid fire delivery of to-do lists was very real!
Just grateful there were no cell phones in the old days!
But truth be told, i learned a LOT from that woman....lots of her wisdom i still quote.
In addition to always having an "old boss horror story" to share.
18:34 not sure if you were making a joke or just misheard but when she said "wish me luck," Emily Blunt said "no, shant." I loved that line. 😆
I think he misheard because of her accent. Love this line as well.
“Prada is some type of fashion thing” omg James I’m dying! I love Emily blunt in this movie
Well, he'll get it for sure now! Haha
Her boyfriend in this is the squeakiest of farts, I really hate him. Her friends also suck, they are all to willing to reap the benefits of her job with the free stuff, but then they want to judge her for putting in real effort at a job that could open many doors for her in the career she wants. I hate that "you've changed" trope as some sort of relationship ruiner. Meanwhile he takes a job in another state without discussing it with her and that's ok because it is his career? Gross. The steak she gets for Miranda in this is from Smith & Wollensky steakhouse and can confirm that their steaks are absolutely delicious.
THANK YOU!!! I cannot stand Nate. He is not supportive at all. There are certain jobs where you need to be available 24/7, and sacrifice a lot of your personal life (which someone trying to make it as a chef in NY should understand). It was only for ONE YEAR. Suck it up dude. And yes, her friends were not that great either. Other than learning more and appreciating the fashion industry more, dressing differently, and working longer hours...did Andi actually change? It doesn't seem like she did. Also, being a journalist (depending on what kind) is not always a 9-5 regular job. I doubt Nate will stick around a lot longer for her new job either. What also boils my blood is when Emily gets mad at her for going to Paris. I'm sorry, is she supposed to get fired from a job (which Miranda pretty much says she will if Andi says no) to appease someone who has been nothing but nasty to her since she started!?! Anyway, kind of a moot point since Emily wouldn't have been able to go with a broken leg. It is not Andi's fault that she started doing better at the job than Emily and that resulted in Miranda selecting her to go to Paris instead. Grow up people! If the roles were reversed I doubt Emily would have turned down Paris. She probably would have even gloated about it. Andi throwing that beautiful steak away always breaks my heart. I so would have chowed down on that bad boy.
I don't disagree with you. Except on one tiny thing. They were not together when he accepted the new job. She was his ex at that point. I'm not going to discuss with my ex my potential new jobs. It's not their business. His invitation to come to Boston was him asking if she wants to get back together. She didn't have to move to Boston if she didn't want to. She decided to move and get back together. In all other ways I agree. Not a fan of the boyfriend or her friends.
I think the problem was she presented the job to Nate as just silly and she probably wouldn't last so he was not prepared when she got into the job and the expectations that came along with it. They should have sat down and formed a plan. For the next 1 year we will both focus on out careers and after that year reevaluate and see where we stand. That's called communication and that's why it didn't work. I think it's unfair to blame anyone and before you make Nate the villain, remember that Andy cheated on him while the were still together and he did not take the job out of town until that had broken up
@@jdrussell3828 they had broken up, she wasn't cheating.
I used to work in the concert arena business and we worked 50-70 hours a week. You just get used to it. I finally retired after 20+ years to spend time with my grandchildren, best decision I ever made. Oh and I’m with you, I met several music artists and never once asked for an autograph. They are just people. The most likable, friendly person I met in all those years, was Paul McCartney. Nicest person you will ever meet.
"GIRD YOUR LOINS!"
- Released in 2006; directed by David Frankel; written by Aline Brosh McKenna, based on the novel by Lauren Weisberger.
- Nominated for two Academy Awards - Best Actress in a Leading Role (Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestley) and Best Costume Design. It didn't win in either category.
- Meryl Streep is the all-time leader in acting nominations at the Oscars, with 21 in total as of 2024, and three wins. This was her 14th chronologically.
- Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci (Nigel Kipling) are real life in-laws. Stanley Tucci is married to Emily Blunt's sister Felicity.
- This is seen as Emily Blunt's breakout role. Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, and Anne Hathaway already had some name recognition, but Blunt was still trying to make her way in. Anne Hathaway was quoted as saying, "I've never witnessed a star being born before."
- Similarly, this was Anne Hathaway's breakout role in movies aimed for adults. She had been in several movies for younger audiences and had done well, but many wondered she could do with a more "adult" role.
- Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci reunited three years later in the film "Julie and Julia" as husband and wife.
- Emily Blunt improvised two lines - "I love my job, I love my job" and "I'm hearing this, and I want to hear this," which she reportedly based off of a mother saying the same thing to a child in a supermarket.
Yay! Glad you gave this one a chance, and enjoyed it so much. It really is remarkably entertaining, and the drama is surprisingly gripping. :)
I LOVE this movie!!! Great reaction!!!
Miranda Priestly is pursing her lips at you 😂😂😂
James- “I don’t know fashion.” 😂😂😂
$500 for that outfit 😆
You were correct in that it’s probably over $2000
One of my favorite outfit changes in this is the brief glimpse we get of her in the matching white jacket and hat while she’s trying to get a taxi. It’s so chic!
And how in the world could a “true friend” (especially ones own bf) not be able to see her through just one year of growth, whether it comes across as a positive to them ….or less than such. She’s doing something positive for her career and it’s very temporary. The people in her life are a bunch of asses.
If you haven't seen Meryl Streep in "Sophie's Choice," change that. It may be the best performance by an actress ever.
Fun reaction James. Not a fashionista myself but they acted the main characters acted the hell out of this.
If this was your first Meryl Streep film it is not a bad start at all 😊
I checked out that library you were talking about, it was very well built. If I only had a clubhouse that looked like when I was a kid.
"Kramer vs Kramer"(1979) and "Sophie's Choice"(1982) are just two classics of a long list of movies the legendary Meryl Streep has wowed us in. Love her! Thank u as always for ur great reactions.
Her outfit is probably worth $500. 😂Nice first guess ...but try adding a couple of zeros. The Chanel cap alone is worth about $1500+ US. Also, you must know who Meryl Streep is, right? You recognized Anne Hathaway and Emily Blunt right off and even Stanley Tucci, but did not mention the woman with 3 Academy Awards (and record for most ever nominations) as actress. With respect - because we know you are "still learning about this stuff" 😉 - maybe it was obvious?
😂 Bless your heart James, I love your honesty and openness about not knowing fashion 😂😂😂
Your reactions are wonderful, thank you for being you!
0:40 like you don't know that carhart makes a great jacket 🙃
James, if you're looking for more Emily Blunt movies, I'd put the following in here:
Charlie Wilson's War (2007); The Young Victoria (2009); Looper (2012); Mary Poppins Returns (2018, although I'd recommend watching the original "Mary Poppins" first); Oppenheimer (2023).
Charlie Wilson’s War for sure. With Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Especially since it’s still relevant today.
I am desperate for Young Victoria to get the love it deserves. I don't think it has any reactions on youtube
15:29 Did you just hand off your drink to the movie? Lol
I was pleasantly surprised the first time I saw this. Good movie, good reaction.
I've always loved this movie even tho I have zero fashion sense ,but I fid also watch project runway each year
The guy that looked familiar is the one and only “Stanley Tucci”!! Emily Blunt introduced Stanley to her sister and they fell in love and got married!! So now Emily and Stanley are brother and sister in law’s!!
It’s such a perfectly casted movie. Emily Blunt cracks me up 😂 Meryl is out of this world! 🤩
Song, Suddenly I See artist KT Tunstall. She's from Scotland.
Miranda is my top ten favorite antagonists of all time. 👠
This movie is loosely basses on the Editor and Chief of Vogue magazine Anna Wintour. Its a fun deep dive if you ever decide to look into the industry or the movie a bit more.
The role of Meryl Streep is based on a real person. Anna Wintour is supposed to be pretty similar to her. She has the same role in fashion.
Second to 'Silkwood', this is my favourite Meryl Streep movie.
If Miranda was a man everyone would praise her dedication, hard work and accomplishments regardless of how she treated her staff. Steve Jobs was just as hard to work with yet people always looked up and while they acknowledged him being difficult they just went along with it because he was a man leading a company.
The real villains in this story are her boyfriend and friends for not supporting Andy during her few months of hard work and sacrifice to pay her dues and get her dream job in the end. Real friends would have cheered her on and helped her through what everyone acknowledged would only be 1 tough year. It would be like being mad a friend who was training to go to the Olympics because they spent to much time in training and were to tiered to go hang out after practice. Real friends understand that life gets in the way and sometimes you need to just be supportive and not critical and judgemental.
So if Ramon said to you, 'donna stomp your next season shoes at me honi ', what would you get?
Fashion, like any art, is based on the hypocritical conceit of artistic licence. Once you accept the truth of an art and take the perspective seriously, new worlds of possibility, context, and meaning open up to explore. Keeping the artistic sentiment relevant to reality becomes part of the challenge, but good art can offer insights when kept in resonant proportion to living experiences. That said, I have never found fashion to be a particularly balanced art form. There seems to be good evidence that it speaks to vestigial genetic impulses which used to be social cues associated with fur markings and coloration. An example would be the change of coloration when a male gorilla ascends to dominant silverback status, and the recognition naturally deferred to him because of his coloration and markings. The psychosocial cues of fashion seem to dredge up the archaic, pre-sentient parts of ourselves that self-domestication has largely bred out of us. Many of those markings still exist in the arrangement of our skin cells and hair follicles (a good number of people have stripes like a cat, for instance), but we lost the fur for displaying the patterns. Clothing also triggers those ancient biases.
I like this movie, but I don't like any of the characters. If I had to pick one, Miranda's my favorite because she's unabashedly honest about who she is. I can't stand the main character's snobbishness--it's an elitism I see in the publishing industry (which is my industry) and it's ego-based. I don't like the BF or the friends, either. But...just like Seinfeld, I like the show but none of the characters. It was well written (I read the book, too).
Where's the bit of paper I had in my hand yesterday?
Well done
👍
Did you recognize Tom Bradys wife?
Ex wife
1 - the book is loosely based on the author's real experience at a fashion magazine
2 -in the book. Miranda is completely unlikable. It was Meryl Streep who pushed hard for her to at least have an understandable motive and almost likeable charm to her bitchiness.
