The opening scene for The Devil Wears Prada sets the tone for the film just right - it's all about women and their all about their fashion. However, it does not fail to maintain the short attention span of the boyfriend that was dragged to the theater. While the girlfriend stares at all the clothes and makeup process of different women, the boyfriend can admire the actual process of women putting on clothes (I know, what a perv).
Director David Frankel does an impressive job by showing what kind of a person Andrea (Anne Hathaway) is by contrasting her daily procedure of how she prepares for the day with other different women. By the end of the scene, the audience has already made a connection with Andrea and have an understanding of who she is as she takes the taxi to her job interview.
At the interview for Runway fashion magazine, the set is perfectly set up, the scripts are cleverly written, and the acting is finely polished that viewers can get a taste of the fashion world.
Jason this is a great review. I can't wait to read your review. You have a talent for this which i am not surprised about. I love how in the first paragraph you mention the way it can draw interest from multiple audiences and the boyfriend that was dragged to the movie.
