Ester is happy to be starting high school, but trouble begins when she discovers that her ex-boyfriend Kaj has also enrolled in school with the goal of getting back together. With all her peers supporting Kaj, Ester befriends Vanda and they pretend to be a couple to win acceptance from classmates and Vanda's parents. The plan works at first, but their newly awakened emotions soon start to complicate things.
At least we got the original cast back, right? Not even that saves it. None of them could bring a sliver of hope to this special. Rather, they bring dread as we witness the light leaving from their eyes.
My review’s title is a nod to Shakespeare and is entirely deliberate. The original movie portrayed the high-end fashion world as a brutal arena of plotting, backstabbing, and betrayal, and most Shakespeare’s plays depend on these plot devices. The Devil Wears Prada 2 uses the same formula, and is, plot-wise, almost identical. Once again, we plunge into the cutthroat world of Runway, where to get and stay at the top, you must let go of your principles and moral sense. The only thing different is that due to the digital era, Runway is not a print magazine anymore, but one that is running online.
In 1983, V first debuted as a mini-series. It chronicled the story of alien visitors who arrive on Earth in motherships; they look like us, they talk like us, and they say they are of peace
How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?
I suppose you could argue that the story wasn’t what Director James Cameron was aiming for, it was the visuals. The spectacle of it all was the point, and it certainly shows.
This is not a story of oppression but a story of liberation.
