Here’s my most favorite part of the 2006 movie :
Miranda : I see a great deal of myself in you. You can see beyond what people want, what they need… and you can choose for yourself.
Andrea : I don’t think I’m like that. I… I couldn’t do what you did to Nigel, Miranda. I couldn’t do something like that.
Miranda : You already did, to Emily.
Andrea : That’s not what I… No that was different. I didn’t have a choice.
Miranda : Oh no, you chose. You chose to get ahead.
*video was removed*
This is the scene in the car when Miranda praises Andy because she sees a great deal of herself in Andy.
I feel it’s the perfect moment and turning point of the movie when realization hits her, when she finally decides what she truly wants for herself and for her life after the conversation with Miranda. And she leaves Miranda with the press.
“Everybody wants this, everybody wants to be us.”
I forgot what happens in the movie, except the part where she got unpublished Harry Potter for the evil woman’s children. I should totally re-watch the movie again. But the quote is meaningful, no doubt.

yeah, it’s the turning point in the movie, but I don’t think it was in a finally-going-for-what-she-wants sorta way, cuz’ I felt like she always sorta knew what she wanted, from the get go, we knew that fashion was NOT what she wanted to get into, but she needed job experience & that was what was available, so she went for it, from my p.o.v. this moment was a turning point of realizing “I’m done here. I’ve taken this work as far as I can before I step over the edge & make it my career, but I’m not going to do that (cuz’ it’s not my true passion).” or something like that…

If there are movies in my entire life that I happen to remember the lines… it would be no less than “Devil Wears Prada” and the whole “Matrix” trilogy…
Those lines were just nicely done and very much intellectual… great job for these writers…
