Film Discussion Group at New Horizons in Narberth - The Devil Wears Prada

On Wednesday, March 8 at 1:00 PM, Dr. Mark Shulkin, Clinical Assoc. Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus at Drexel University Medical College, leads the discussion and shares examples from his own life to illustrate how movies and television programs can mirror common life experiences. Group discussion is encouraged! In this discussion group, view clips, discuss profound universal themes and recognize characteristics of human nature found in the Classic Film "The Devil Wears Prada."

The Devil Wears Prada, a 2006 American comedy-drama film, stars Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly, a powerful fashion magazine editor, and Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs. Andrea is an aspiring journalist fresh out of College. Despite her ridicule for the shallowness of the fashion industry, she lands a job as junior personal assistant to Miranda Priestly, the icy editor-in-chief of Runway fashion magazine. Andrea plans to put up with Miranda's excessively demanding and humiliating treatment for one year in hopes of getting a job as a reporter or writer somewhere else. She is sorely tested each and every day—and often late into the night with orders barked over the phone. She puts up with it all by keeping her eyes on the prize: a recommendation from Miranda that will get Andrea a top job at any magazine of her choosing. As things escalate from the merely unacceptable to the downright outrageous, however, Andrea begins to realize that the job a million girls would die for may just kill her. And even if she survives, she has to decide whether or not the job is worth the price of her soul.
