Actually no, I love Meryl Streep! But this scene in The Devil Wears Prada made me cringe hard.

Why? It's the scene where Andy becomes top assistant and Emily is now left in the dust. In other words, it's a "Promotion" for Andy due to Miranda trusting her more so than Emily.
It's Miranda... would you try to talk back at her?
Truthfully?………. Probably not.
Close! Not a Mac, but note my display, and the display in the movie. They're both Apple Cinema HD Displays. I was actually watching the movie on this display at the time.
She was wearing a heavy coat and tossed it on the display, causing it to tilt and jiggle. A lesser display might just have tipped over. I had a moment of gut-wrenching fear for the safety of that iconic Apple Display. ?
I feel bad for Emily but at the same time Andrea earned her promotion. Emily was an incompetent disappointment and failed at her duties as 1st assistant. Miranda wasn't wrong in demoting her, but she should have did it herself. It was cruel for her to let Andrea take the blunt of it.
They are connected. Everything goes through that white cable. This includes power, video, USB, and Firewire. I'm still using mine with a Monterey Mac mini BTW.
BTW, you see in one scene that Andrea touched the right side of the screen when she left her desk. This makes sense since this model has a power button (as well as brightness buttons) on the side.
Emily only looked good cause there was no one else. But in the first scene of Miranda and Emily you can tell Emily struggled as she had an issue with a confirmation.
Andy wasn't trying as Nigel said, and when she did try, she was so much better.
Kind of. In ports and connectivity I'll give to you, but not in the display quality. Although prices now... ugh
They really humanized Miranda in the movie. I strongly urge fans of the movie to read Weisberger's source novel. The Miranda Priestly written in the book is 100x crueler, and is essentially a totally different character (British, younger, impossibly thin, blonde, and undoubtedly sadistic).
Ahh, I had no idea the film originated from a book.
In that case, I will pass. I will only dislike Miranda even more lol
It balances it out bc Andy in the book is also a terrible person who has this awful pretentious attitude, and seems to deliberately want to push Miranda's buttons...
