The Devil Wears Prada

I just watched the movie The Devil Wears Prada. It shook me that it is a 2006 movie. This is today. It is scary.

Smart girl lands a job right after school at a top magazine as an assistant to the editor who is a legend in the industry. Her boyfriend flips burgers. As she progresses, the boyfriend grows away. Less than a year later, she quits her job. The guy is still flipping burgers. Her quitting brings them back together.

That is so Martha Stewart, guys not being able to keep up with successful women. If nothing else, go enjoy the money!

Of course the movie made me think of the Obama-Hillary tussle that will soon unfold. I am for Obama. It is personal. But I do strongly believe Obama will have to take in the gender theme. He has to carry both race and gender to a whole new level. He has to think in concrete terms, like having half his cabinet female.

Meryl Streep is ugh. She is so good at what she does. Al Pacino and Meryl Streep. I always wondered why they did not end up a couple. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri, the two most talented actors of their generation in the Hindi film industry did. But I guess they got married and Amitabh said he would not want his wife to be working from 9 AM to 9 PM, and so she just went ahead and quit.

This love and work balance thing is so not settled at all. This continues to be a very real issue.

I would like to design a company where half the workers are women. Number one reason: that company will beat the competition because of that because it will be running on all cylinders.

There's some great Madonna and U2 music in there, two artists in the musical realm that I adore. The movie is really, really well done. I have never watched an okay or bad Meryl Streep movie. She is rare.

I love the way she says, "That's all." It is like Donald Trump saying, "You're fired."
