The Devil Wears Prada

I went to see The Devil Wears Prada with my mom and sisters a while back and LOVED it! It was when I went the second time that I started questioning the messege it sends. Does it really matter what size clothing you wear? In this movie, it's the only thing that does matter, other than the brand name you are wearing. This movie says your inner beauty doesn't matter anymore. Andy, the main character in the movie, is a new worker at Runway (a fashion magazing) and is confused with why everyone there is obsessed with how they look. It was disgusting to a co-worker that she is a size 6. (Which by the way isn't even close to being considered a large size!) It was disgusting because that isn't the "in" size. Andy told herself that she wouldn't be working at the magazine forever, why change?! A "friend" at the magazine informed her that if she didn't change, she wouldn't fit it. In the end Andy realized it doesn't matter what you look like, and what size of clothing you wear. The media believes this is the most important thing in life, but she realized it wasn't even close.
