Miranda’s performance is REVOLUTIONARY. She chose to study performances by Clint Eastwood and other strong male actors in preparation for this role. She wanted to assert dominance and power while only speaking in soft tones. Making others have to lean on and pay attention every time she spoke. It’s crazy how she was able to master making you feel yelled at while talking so quietly! You could really feel the hostility with each look. At the same time we caught glimpses of her as a human being with emotions. Over all, Chilling, incredible, perfection.

[@caitlynwinkler4189]

She was absolutely terrifying and a perfect example of why a quiet, controlled woman in power is scarier than a screaming, violent man every single time.

[@DeathnoteBB]

@@agatamarasso3812 Not mine. I mean it’s sad, but Miranda knew it was dog eat dog. Seeing Andi gone, Miranda quickly realized Andi didn’t want that. In her business there are no friends, only colleagues who she’ll step over to get where she wants and stay there.

[@Maggie_mccann]

In the belt scene, the assistant wasn't even saying the colors were different, it was the buckle that's different. Goes to show how oblivious Andy was

[@Faeree]

Can we just talk about the look on Miranda's face when she says "everyone wants this" not only tells US that she has a hard time with it, but tells us that SHE is aware she has a hard time with it. She has several of those looks, so subtle and quick, another being the "why would I cancel" when she's crying about the divorce. She knows exactly why, she just knows she can't afford too and it stings. To portray that in such a subtle and quick way speaks volumes to the casting, directing, and writing.

[@SuzER08]

I remember reading that the original line was "everybody wants to be me" and meryl streep changed it to "us" which i feel like really shows that miranda sees Andy (and her team as a whole) as an extension of herself and that's why she has such strong demands of all of them, not only that but it hammers home that Andy has become "one of them" whether she was willing to admit it or not

[@Faeree]

@@SuzER08 oh wow that's so cool! I love that, that's such an impactful moment

[@combat_chameleon]

I watched this movie when I was really young and it matched so much with who I already was and would become, I kind of admired Miranda cause to me she was just so cold and cool and at the same time I didn't liked her cause she was just awful and I have an aversion to bosses, anyway, eversince then the only thing I gather from this line is that she's one of a sad b1tch. don't care about iconicness or this attempt of an "unironic" portrayal of a girlboss, woman in charge with attitude that knows what she wants or whatever. I mean, it's definitely entertaining and I share mike's enthusiasm for the character's balls but bottom line she's pitiful

[@Gingerm0nster]

Even though a size 6 is objectively not “fat”, I do appreciate that Andy doesn’t go lower than a size 4. In hindsight, this is actually a best case scenario for this era. They could have been like “be a size 00 or gtfo”

[@alim.9801]

Dude size 6 is like the small side of average what the heck

[@chaosemperor24]

I think we all hated that part of this movie but I mean it was realistic for 2000’s fashion and beauty standards and much more common for people to get fat shamed so casually, even though ofc size 6 isn’t fat but for the industry and models her size was large. It also drew the big divide between Andy who is happy with her life and all the girls at runway who essentially want to be models and wear the clothes in the magazine, just another way to point out how she’s different

I LOVE the smile at the end, because when they’re at the OG James Holt preview, Stanley Tucci is all ‘Miranda has smiled once on record’ and it was viewed as her ultimate seal of approval. So to give it to Andy in that final meeting, after she’d walked away from runway, it’s like Miranda was acknowledging that Andy leaving was the right decision. In the end Andy made the ‘Miranda call’ and didn’t allow herself to be backed into a corner. She was her own woman. As much as I wanted to see Andy continue to slay it, I think Miranda would’ve respected her less if she’d stayed.

@@2000-very-small-ants if Andy refused, Miranda would have to take Emily, since she would be without any assistants otherwise and Emily is still better than any last minute replacement.

If the writers were willing to make the film more serious, they could have left the choice entirely up to Andy which would have made her a more complex and dramatic character at the expense of making her a less likeable character.

[@rolinti9146]

you forgot the most iconic part of the film, the very ending where Miranda says "Go?"

[@paul-blart9966]

This movie entirely altered my personality in the fourth grade. I started the fashion club and I would draw little outfits and I hired other girls in my class to draw designs for my magazine and I would read them to filth just like Miranda. I made a girl cry oops

The scene where Andy and Christian "hook up" is like... legitimately SA. She laid out how it was wrong of him to try to sleep with her but that spiel was supposed to be the "joke." She sat there saying she's too drunk, she just broke up, she's vulnerable, she's in a new city, etc... and he just kept going for it till she gave in. It was treated like a funny teehee moment but it is SO uncomfortable to watch

[@RedMoonSolitary]

[@бронза.вафля.конус]

It was gross, but tbh she didn't seem bothered or surprised at all when she woke up

[@arc4705]

@@бронза.вафля.конус Prob cuz it's a movie from the early 2000s so the writers didn't put that in there because it was teehee cute, not because it wasn't SA

[@бронза.вафля.конус]

@@arc4705 sure but at the end of the day, what matters is that she wasn't bothered. Similar things happen to men and women irl and if they're not bothered and if they consent then it's not SA

“Could he be crustier do you reckon? I don’t think he could be crustier. He’s like a moldy piece of bread with a moldy piece of cheese on it put under the grill. But the grate in the grill is too high and the cheese melts and then burns and then the cheese fumes of the moldy cheese get stuck to the grill, so that any future thing that you put in that grill is going to smell like moldy cheese. That’s his vibe” I was so here for this historic burn.

this video cleared my skin and cleansed my soul thanks for this absolutely unsolicited source of serotonin, my slayometer is showing the highest reading for the past couple of months and my life has taken on a new meaning now that i know that there’s a community of mirandanators out there. that’s all.

[@mica2597]

I just rewatched this movie too and the constant digs at Andy's body size were so uncomfortable. Andy calls herself 'not skinny'?? Nigel and Emily made so many jokes about how a size 6 is so large. Classic early 2000s beauty standards I guess

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Andy running through the streets of Paris in that iconic tulle outfit with pigeons aesthetically flying around counts as motivation.

I loved this movie because I wanted to be a Fashion Designer. So, I went and did that and worked as a Stylist for a top Studio in Australia. Got fired for not being enough of a sales rep (my degree and education are in fashion.) Had my Andy moment. Now I am studying STEM and do Costuming for Film productions on the side. Had the same boyfriend the whole time (he is far from a crust lord)., and we now live together. My life is a movie.

[@melie3054]

i have no idea what this channel is about, i dont usually watch these types of videos on youtube, i dont even know if i would consider this like a video essay thing, all I know is that your personality, narration and personal breakdown of this movie completely enthralled me and I love exactly how it touches on some key things (like how deep the fashion industry choices affects us and that butterfly effect) from the movie but its doesnt get too analytical. And this brought out a lot of parts from the movie i didn't even remember since its been a while since i watched it. By the end of the video, I kinda teared up bc I didn't really get what happened in the ending of the movie until seeing how you explained it now. Wow. Really. I didn't know I needed this video in my life, it closes so much of the vagueness I felt around a childhood movie. You're already at like 733k, but best know that you have a new sub from me bc of this

This movie defined me in a way i cannot explain. It made me realize there was more to the fashion industry than just "being pretty." Safe to say Miranda's quotes are my constant inner dialogue.

I'm so glad to see others in this comment section reading Andy's crusty boyfriend to FILTH. Literally, at the very end he announced he was moving somewhere else because he got a big job. So it's okay for him to make big life changes for his career, but if Andy so much as DARES put her all into this big break job, they have to break up. Has this man ever heard of being supportive? "OhH yOu have so many different interestsss now :(" You want your girlfriend to quit her job because it's making her miserable, even though she's VISIBLY SHOWING YOU that she enjoys it. I can go on for hours. This man just deserves prison time.

[@Isabelle-hv6ny]

But Andy was the one who said they should break up aka have a break? And he probably searched for a job while she was in in Paris. She did not enjoy it. Thats why she quit. Nothing wrong with it.

[@HyperGloss666]

Honestly I never really understood the fashion industry until I watched this movie. Th cerulean scene so perfectly explains how high fashion designers set trends and the role that Vogue magazine plays in the real fashion industry, and I guess to a lesser extent all fashion journalism, social media ect.
