    And also how often the movie is completely oblivious to that. For example it’s been a while since I saw “Devil wears Prada” but if I remember right, the ending is:

    Our main character has an argument with her boyfriend

    Goes to a business trip in Paris

    Sleeps with random guy

    Returns home and makes up with her boyfriend

    And the movie ends like nothing happened, she’s happy, that’s what’s important

      I mean, that was bad, but I hated the movie more for turning it into feel-good drivel about the boss actually being kind and caring about her employee(s). The book ending, where the character realized her own self worth and started making her own decisions, was so much better than the american bullshit about putting up with a boss’ bullshit because they’re actually such good people and will throw a few dollars off the balcony for you to catch.
