Movie/music Monday
“The Devil Wears Prada 2” opened in theaters this past weekend.
I’ve previously written about how deeply that movie resonated with me, particularly the ending. This post explains it pretty well: The ending I deserve. This one also explains why I am very hesitant to see the new movie: An Ending and a Sequel. In a nutshell, when Andy walked away from her job in the first movie, that was something I had yearned to do in my own job for years. My job and my boss were very similar to the movie. In fact, there were a LOT of parallels. And when I finally walked away like she did in the movie, the relief I felt was almost indescribable. The end of that movie was perfect. So was me leaving my old job. I just don’t want to see a movie where Andy puts herself back in that situation. I would never do it. I simply cannot fathom going back. So I have sworn off seeing the new movie.
However, my sister called me yesterday and told me that she had seen it on Saturday. She knows why I’m hesitant to see it. But she told me that she thinks it’s safe for me to watch. She said all the characters are the same as we remember them and Andy, in particular, is the same way she was at the end of the original. I’m guessing by that she means she maintained her strength and resilience when faced with Miranda.
I actually do want to see it. I’m very curious about it. Summer hours have started for us at work. That means every Friday we get off work at 12:00. It’s a pretty sweet deal because we don’t even have to come in early every day of the week to accommodate leaving early on Friday. We just…leave. So given the half day schedule, I may go see it by myself this Friday. I know for sure this is not a movie Josh would want to see, and honestly, I think I’d like to see it by myself first.
I’ll report back…
