Is it REALLY bad that she looks much better in the red shirt in the scene directly after this when she's with her friends in the bar? When she went in to meet with Miranda Priestly, she was CLEARLY nervous, she was stuttering, she looked ridiculous (like a high school dork in a frumpy shirt) and she had NO clue who this woman was, what she did, or why she was there. She didn't care. She could have at least done at hour's worth of research and TRIED to care about getting this job. She even ADMITS to her boyfriend that her sense of fashion sucks and then she spends the movie basically waffling between being a victim and acting like she's above them.

I don't sympathise with her friends or boyfriend either. She's found a career she's interested in and to get started she needs to put in some long hours and take every opportunity and promotion she can. If she was doing her articles or her residency then the hours would be worse. ANd if she got promoted over someone else then she would take it.

But the more I watch it, the more I get the point: throughout the movie, she is constantly playing the victim about how her boss and co-workers treat her. But she made it clear from the start that she thinks of herself as superior to everyone else around her and she has no interest in the fashion world, so how are they supposed to respect her?

let's not forget her accents. She gets every little detail on point. If you watch all of her movies you'll notice she never walks or talks the same for every part. Her voice literally sounds like someone else's, and she never ever goes even a little out of character. She is honestly superb. and she could perfectly be a brat about it but everyone always says how nice is to work with her, how inspiring and hard-working she is and how she loves to help younger actors. The day she stops acting will be a very sad day.

She was hired because of luck. At that time, Miranda wanted a different type of girl as her assistant: not the slim, stylish one who would be proven inadequate later on. Other than that, Andy was horrible in the interview. It is unacceptable that she showed up without having done some research about the magazine first and having made an effort to learn some information about the editor in chief.

Andy got the job because she turned around, squeaked on her shoes, and talked back very confidently--that she was really smart, a very hard worker and that she learned very quickly. Miranda's bitchiness in this scene was a test, to see if Andy had what it took to be her assistant. If Andy folded and left with her tail between her legs, then Miranda knew she wasn't cut out for the position. But Andy didn't fold--she got a little angry and she spoke up. That and Andy's impressive resume (which Miranda already knew about as soon as she read a bit of the resume) is what got Andy the job. Interest in fashion and the magazine was incidental, because those are not the skills one needs to make it in a very cutthroat world.

What makes her better is that she grows as a person and as a worker, she starts not understand why her fellow coleages are giving their best and only changes when Nigel gives her a reality check that helped her to grow and understand how that world works instead of keep playing the victim and thinking she deserves praise for not even doing the bare minimum that job requires. I remember when i first watched this movie when i was 15 and thinking Miranda was a heartless soul and Andy was another victim of that woman, now i rewatched and i think Andy totally deserved all that criticism, she was disconnected from reality and thought she was superior because of that. Irl, she would never have been hired.

Her delivery of that line is divine; no blustering, no overdone contempt, not even bothering to be offended by it, just the sort of absolute confidence that most dictators with god complexes WISH they had. Also, since Miranda wasn't present when Andy asked Emily who she was, that means Miranda knew Andy had never heard of her just from reading her at the interview. Presumably, she guessed from the fact that Andy was showing typical interview nerves rather than the awe and fear that Miranda's used to.

She is the only actor I know who can turn her props into characters: the tossing of the newspaper, the intimidating slamming of the drawer, the tone of 'no that's not a question' while touching her earlobes. It's insane what mastery of craftmanship can take perfection to unchartered heights.

Meryl Streep ? The best actress ever... I love that scene !

The more I watch this film - and I love it, I watch it often - the more I realize that it is mostly about letting go of youthful idealism and expectation about what work is and also how clinging to those ideals make you a shitty worker. And that by shedding them, you can actually excel at what you do - ohh and that pretty much everyone in Andy's life sucks. Can't forget her shitty, entitled friends and boyfriend. Sure, Miranda is harsh and rude in this interview - and in the whole movie - and I don't think that the film rose-colors that much if at all. After all, Andy does eventually quit and appears better off for it. But when you think about what is actually happening in this interview, Miranda and the whole Runway ethos becomes much more sympathetic and understandable. It fits in beautifully with the honesty of the film. We are talking about a workplace which is internationally renowned, both in its own industry and in general. And so, Andy's attitude surrounding the work and the job as something that she can do well because "she is smart" and "works hard", even though she doesn't respect what a big deal the company AND its Editor-In-Chief, whom she knows nothing about, unsurprisingly doesn't engender any respect from Miranda. What a shock. This is the genesis of the shitty attitude - that she is actually better than everyone that she works with because she's smart and fashion is superfluous - that Nigel calls her on some thirty minutes later. I also think it's very telling how confused Andy is that Miranda doesn't appear interested in her "accomplishments". Sure, she's clearly bright, went to a good school, and has confidence, but there is nothing specifically about her or her experience that suggests that she will be successful in the role she is interviewing for. She comes to it unpolished, she ADMITS that she isn't competitive in the NYC job market IN HER CHOSEN FIELD within a few moments of the interview, that she knows little about fashion and appears not to care about the professional gravity of the place she is interviewing at, and then she is upset when her award for journalism, something that has no bearing on whether or not she can actually do what Miranda needs her to do, doesn't impress her. Like, why should it? After all, it didn't impress enough "serious" journalists in New York to consider her applications, either. Miranda is just being transparent about, you know, what every other organization she applied to was thinking about her candidacy. It's honest about what it's like to work - and it resonates with me so much more as a person who has been working for a while than it did watching it as a college student when it first came out. Looking at it with adult eyes, I don't think this film is really about "surviving an awful boss who sucks" as much as it is about how working with a demanding supervisor who holds themselves, their organization, and the people who work for them to an incredibly high standard can be a transformative and ultimately positive experience for us.

Thank you. I always thought the book was about surviving the boss rom hell, but I ended up relating more to Miranda and Runway in the movie. Not everybody gets their dream job at the first go. Some people never get their dream job. It doesn't mean you can't take some pride in your work and strive to do well. I also thought her friends and boyfriend were unsupportive about her wanting to do well.

I'd like to contest the idea that her friends and boyfriend are entitled. They are trying to help her. We can contest whether their brand of "help" is actually helping. But that is, without a doubt, their goal. When they try to pull her away from her job, they fully and wholeheartedly believe that the job is harmful to Andy's mental health, and they are doing it for Andy. Andy then ends up pushing them away, and they *still* try to help her for almost a year before giving up. That is not what I call entitled. As for whether the job actually is bad for Andy's mental health? I think it is. A job that is good for your mental health will involve praise when you do something well; not just scolding when you do it wrong. The most praise I can remember Andy getting from Miranda before Paris is when she finds the Harry Potter manuscript. And there is no verbal praise there, simply a smile. For completing an impossible task. By this point she is months into her job, and it's the first positive anything that she's gotten from her boss. No, Miranda's not evil. She's a complicated character. But complicated means she's not a saint, either. She does not treat her employees well at all, and that's what Andy's friends see, and that's what they try to take her away from. They'd be perfectly happy for Andy to work that job if Miranda were nicer to her.

I think she is the only actor who got nominated (so I believe) from one scene: this scene. if I am correct, it is justified I think. This interview scene is loaded with mesmerizing moves and lines from Meryl: the tossing of the newspaper, the slamming of the drawer, the touching of her earlobe while delivering the iconic line: no no that's not a question," etc. I mean she is the supreme master of acting.

I found Andy's attitude about job hunting and interview to be so dry and disinterested. She clearly had no passion for fashion at all and didn't do her research about the employer. First rule of job hunting is know what you're walking into. If you don't convey you want the job, your employer will perceive you don't want it.

This scène is good too in the french version

I cannot believe this movie is filmed ten years ago, like it was yesterday. The movie is like a American fashion fairy tale with many stereotypes about the world of high fashion, some of them are true, people can be cruel no matter which sector or company you work, some of them are not, created by the media...

When desperate and knowing you're losing the interviewer, asserting yourself, being honest almost always nails you the interview. worked for me.

I see a lot of people talking about how unprofessional and cocky Andy was, and I completely agree. However, I can't help but look back on how Miranda commented that Andy had taken Emily's spot after she commented on how cruel Miranda was being, pointing out her hypocrisy. I feel that she definitely learned her lesson by the end of the film, and I'm glad she did.

Meryl Streep’s subtly subtle nuances always amazes me! Virtuoso at her craft

Acting in this movie is in another level specially Merlyn. Natural and scary. She literally lives her role.

I love how Miranda closes her newspaper @ 1:38... So elegant like.... LOL

It's funny how people judge Miranda and people like her as : interested more in the looks and physic of others , she hired Andy which means she's beauty with brains ❤️

1:37 is where she won that job. It wasn’t so much what she said, it’s that she had the egregious audacity to say that to Miranda. Notice how she stays fixated on her for two seconds.

Miranda saw her potential when she took off her glasses

1:27 the moment she decided to hire Andrea

Miranda was impressed how Andrea was confident, even though she never knew anything about the company, nor Miranda. But hey, that was the a start to show that she wasn't afraid of Miranda. I think throughout the movie Andrea wasn't like everybody else in the company. Only fear that she will lose the job, and that is it.

I can't stop watching these scenes. Maryl Streep is such an iconic in her acting skills.

I'd hire her immediately as soon as she said I'm smart. That's confidence right there

Love her mannerism when she said "that's all"

Only an editor-in-chief of Runway magazine with that flawless hairstyle can close a newspaper like that.

“Miranda” will always be my favorite Meryl Streep character. Everything about her look in this movie was fire! 👀🔥 The haircut, makeup, & clothes are literal perfection. And she’s right-“everybody wants to be us”. She made me want to level up & dress classier.

This just proves that anything Meryl does becomes iconic. What a performance!

Imagine how different this movie would've been if she had gone with Auto Universe... The Devil Wears Brake Pads.

There was no ! At all. Calm voice at all professional moments

The only good thing I noticed in the job interview was that she was honest with Miranda, who sees through everyones' BS.

“Are we doing a before and after piece I don’t know about?” LOOOLL

Part of the long list of things I love about Miranda Priestly is that she's a villain. And she doesn't have to be an over-the-top, evil villain, and she can have humanity, but ultimately, she is not redeemed or anything. There is just something so great about just having the character that you love to hate and hate to love.

The book is even better..and shows how Miranda and Andy came from similar backgrounds and family. Miranda had to work to get where she is and knew Andy had more in her than what she was giving. A good read and many more details than the movie shows

When I interviewed at several Financial Firms right out of college, I carefully studied each place before showing up for interviews. I talked to both current and former employees. I thought I was fully prepared. I even spent two Summers as an intern at one such place. During my first interview, I handed my resume to the lady in charge of interviewing perspective employees. She asked me if I liked to travel...I thought WTH?...I naturally said yes. She replied don't even think about going on any vacation your first year if we hire you. She quickly dismissed me and called for the next candidate. I found out later this place already knew who they would hire before arriving, but wanted to see how I was dressed and my attitude. Another place called me back for "6" interviews and each one was challenging. I finally accepted an offer at a place where the CEO was on the same elevator with me the morning of my scheduled interview with his company and struck up a brief conversation. I had no idea he was the CEO. I had a good vibe from him and I guess he did of me. I was hired the following week and ended up staying there for almost 20 years. I retired early and made a managing partner who also married his daughter. Strange how things go in life.

Meryl was absolutely perfect for this role

“Who is that sad little person?” Find myself

The way Miranda flipped her newspaper is soooo classy.

The way her eyes rolled and fluttered in 1:26 as she said the word "skinny," that's simple yet excellent acting ya'll.

"I have no interest in what this company does, didn't bother to do quick background research for the job to prep for this interview, and fully admit you were my second to last option. Let me work here please." ...Wow, Andy you know exactly what an interviewer wants to hear...

Andy said she was smart and learned fast. She did definitely learn fast. I would have had to take constant notes to remember everything.

Meryl should've gotten the Oscar just for the way she closed the newspaper.

Are you sure she's a journalist? 😂 She did some poor research.

The fact that Andy was a journalism student and this was during the age of computers means that she would know to go to Runway's website and research the company (Interviews 101) before she ever stepped foot into Runway's offices.. But of course she needed to be a fish out of water for the story to work.
