Movies often depict complex and fascinating communication elements between a group of people.
Analyzing how the characters, as individuals and groups, interact with one another allows for an understanding of “how people think, feel and act” between each other. The Devil Wears Prada depicts a young woman's introduction to the various complications relating to ethical, idealistic, blinding, political, and principled choices needed to get ahead in the real world.

She orders Andrea to deliver a virtually unattainable copy of the latest Harry Potter or to find a plane to fly Miranda out of Miami in a hurricane. Andrea is forced to do Miranda's bidding while dodging continuous insults and mean-spirited degradation.
Though the portrayal of an older woman has been uncharitably exaggerated for dramatic effect, The Devil Wears Prada touches on a real intergenerational conflict among women in today's work force.
