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]

[@nullskey8370]

“absolute rodent behaviour” every sentence of this video is absolute gold and the outfit is also gold love the prada love the blue on you

[@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

and heidi klums

[@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

[@AmyAberrant]

I’m sorry but I hated him for that 😭

[@Skinniest_Kween]

22:46 fun fact about this line; originally it was “everybody wants to be me,” but Meryl Streep changed it during a table read to the iconic line we all know because she felt her version added more depth and meaning.

[@hannahmcloughlin8439]

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.

[@nolol7236]

all the girlies in this movie slayed, even the crusty friend who keeps siding with the crusty boyfriend. at least she had one legitimate reason for not being an andy supporter at some point. emily still slaying work in CRUTCHES. miranda still slaying even in DIVORCE ERA. andy still slaying even when her crusty boyfriend is trying to minimize her slay. just snaps for everyone.

[@jlprizm]

There's not a scene with Emily that I didn't love.

[@zyxhael]

At 5:38, "that's like Exodia vibes: how do you counter that?", I SCREAMED. Yu-Gi-Oh! references, in a Devil Wears Prada commentary? Hell to the yes.

[@rolinti9146]

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

[@troll5725]

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.

“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.

[@shinyy5184]

Burned just like the moldy grilled cheese

[@leena6615]

The Devil Wears Prada is one of my favorite movies that I’ve never actually watched because I feel personally offended every time I remember she got back with Nate at the end. Other than that, completely iconic.

[@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

[@caitlynwinkler4189]

Watch his PLL videos next. They're what brought me into the Mike's Mic universe and some of his best work in my opinion

[@francesfincher]

i read the other week that miranda priestly is canonically a scorpio which i'm just obsessed with tbh completely makes sense with the fantasy

[@elle1107]

I really enjoyed the screenshots with the captions mixed with occasional clips! Very fun, very impressive how much Mike has memorized. Iconique

[@lucydanielle2675]

mikes mic x devil wears prada is giving fendi x versace. a match made in heaven. the crossover of the lore, of the two universes. everybody moved and I've always said that

[@sadeasinadu1335]

I can quote Princess Diaries like you can quote this. Also the negligence of Andy not to know her future employer for an interview, lol. I also, can hear this soundtrack as it unfolds.

[@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

Mike talking about what I'm wearing when I'm in fact fully naked is a read that reaches deeper than it should.

[@thea2974]

Are you still fully naked a year later

[@miranda4484]

Michael Mic, I just wanted to let you know I've been plagued with a shit mood for weeks now but I had my first genuine laugh in quite a while within 45 seconds of the video. So thank you, I needed that and to be reminded my purpose is to serve and slay.

[@mollywalker5790]

Mike could play Miranda Priestley but Meryl Streep could not do the Glee recap

[@Person1865]

I'd love to see her try though

[@ellobo4290]

Wow Big

[@PokhrajRoy.]

8:18 The impression was so good. As someone who watches the movie literally every other day, I love it! GET. THAT. OSCAR!

[@purplelune]

destislaytion is entering my vocabulary and I have a feeling she won’t be leaving ever

[@allyson--]

Slay what you wanna slay And let the words fall out

[@MrsMeowMeowWoof]

The comparison of Andy, an intern basically trying to start her careers going to Paris instead of Emily versus Miranda, a millionaire with years if experiencing approaching retirement age betraying her closest friend doesn't feel right. Like I get what the writers were trying to do but it didn't quite hit with me

[@katierasburn9571]

not to mention andy was literally blackmailed with her entire career and future like ma'am please... still a slay scene though, shows a lot about what goes through mirandas head

[@JasonWong-dt6zi]

The writing was a little lazy here since it was Miranda that really made the choice. Yeah, Andy could have opted out but Miranda made it clear that she would be screwed if she did so. 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.

[@astroboystan]

Yk it's god tier when Mike's quoting the actual dialogue for his play by play quips 🤣

[@ems0up]

this movie is my Star Wars- I've literally seen it hundreds of times so I know the story, the plot, the themes and elements by heart-- and I EXTREMELY ENJOYED this recap.

3:50 that laugh 😭😭 you KNEW what you were doing

[@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

[@madinp1177]

I LOVE that the tide has turned and everybody is hating on Nate nowadays!! The absolute worst boyfriend to the protagonist character of any piece of media ever!!!!

[@am-ew2vz]

YES as a kid i always wondered why my mum disliked andy’s character and praised nate and said he was right like girl NO he was unsupportive and sulky and SHIT andy is the girlboss we deserved

[@am-ew2vz]

and i HATE that she goes back to him at the end 🙄

[@j.r.765]

there's something about the name that goes to the worst characters.

[@fruitygarlic3601]

While Miranda is (in some ways) a terrible boss, I love her. I skip over Nate's scenes when I watch this movie because I just hate him and Andy's horrible friends so much.

[@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.

[@creatinghelen]

I love that mike’s videos also include an undercover pop culture quiz in form of all the references 👁👄👁

[@soumeyahida683]

i can't stop rewatch his videos, it's so comforting ! the IBS - Intergrity Before Slay- intervention was just epic lmao

[@Silversky1113]

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. The times that i think about this movie and mentally quote it every day would astound you. This movie slays in every sense of the word. That's all.

[@marianap.1279]

this isn't enough i need you talking about this movie for 3 hours

[@adeleaslan8182]

The way you’re judging how we’re dressed while watching this video, best friend we can’t all slay all the time

[@arc4705]

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]

Yeah that whole thing gave me the creeps

[@zvezdoblyat]

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

[@arc4705]

@@zvezdoblyat 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

[@zvezdoblyat]

@@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

The devil is actually NATE. I will die on the hill that he almost ruined her career because he wanted to be the bread winner and he could only be the person with a work life

For real! Andy is no saint in their relationship, but Nate is a garbage man child.

[@evanjuleen]

Agreed, in fact Miranda seemed period of the choices Andy makes, especially at the end. Proud of Andy for deciding and knowing what she wants. Nate never was

[@Wortmanolivia]

@@evanjuleen Nate just wanted to be right so bad the whole time

[@Isabelle-hv6ny]

I don't think so. He saw how stressed Andy was. Almost on the verge of a breakdown. It was not about her having a job. But sacrificing her mental health and her Relationships to her friends and her family for it
