Meryl Streep expressed her affection for the film The Devil Wears Prada.
On the 8th, a press conference was held at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul in Gwanghwamun, Seoul for the film The Devil Wears Prada 2's visit to Korea. Actors Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway attended the event.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is the story of Miranda, the editor-in-chief of the legendary fashion magazine Runway, and Andy, who returns as a features editor after 20 years, reuniting with Emily, who became an executive of a luxury brand, and risking her entire career to regain control of the fashion world in a completely changed media environment. Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, along with Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, the leading figures who drove the success of the previous film, are participating again, drawing attention.
Regarding the success of the first film, Streep recalled, I was very surprised. I knew it would be a movie women would like, but it was even more successful than that. I was really happy and surprised because of that. For several years, it's rare among my films that men would talk about my character and say what they felt; it was that kind of film after a long time.
She added, I think the reason is that Miranda appears as someone who bears a lot of responsibility and as the head of a company. That allowed her to resonate with men as well. I think that's why she was able to receive love.
When asked about the message the film wants to convey, she said, People will likely take different messages from it, but young women seem to have been encouraged by Andy in the first film. On the other hand, the Miranda character also showed that a woman can be a very bad boss. Actually, gender isn't the important thing. Rather than saying what this film is, please watch it, enjoy it, and know that it contains very important social issues. I hope you feel what you want to feel. Please enjoy the second film as you did the first.
Especially about Miranda, Streep said, The somewhat unique part in the second film is that I think it's hard to see women over 70 playing this kind of boss role in any movie. I'm glad to represent and play a woman in her 70s.
She continued, I was recently on the cover of Vogue with Anna Wintour. She is the same age as me, 76. The person who photographed us is also 76. Women over 50 have quietly started to disappear and sometimes aren't seen, and their opinions or thoughts may be less reflected in culture. But I'm glad to be able to show a strong character like Miranda.
