GENERAL SUMMARY OF THE ANDREA Movie
Introduction
Andrea Sachs is a young woman who after culminating her journalism studies finds work as a second assistant to Miranda Priestly, the head of Runway magazine, who according to people was a job that one million girls would kill for obtaining it. Together with his partner Emily Blunt, they are responsible for meeting all the work, personal and daughters needs to Miranda Priestly at all costs and with times established by her.
Developing
Before leaving for Paris, Andrea meets with her Nate partner, in which he decides to end the romantic relationship. Andrea travels to Paris as a Miranda assistant. Already in Paris, Miranda makes a series of actions, which Andrea rejects and tells Miranda: I do not want to be like you, in which the head of Runway magazine replies: they all want to be like us. After this event, Andrea decides to stop working for Miranda and find a new job as a writer in a newspaper in which they received good recommendations from Miranda Priestly. Main characters:
- Andrea Sachs: Miranda Priestly assistant
- Miranda Priestly: Chief of Runway magazine
Main reasons why the film would be recommended:
- It is a film that teaches how workers end up adapting to the demands imposed by an authoritarian leader such as Miranda Priestly
- The film shows us how a person can support work overload in order not to lose it.
- The film shows us how working life can become much more important than personal and sentimental life.
Teamwork analysis evidence by the characters
In the film an autocratic leadership by Miranda Priestly was evidenced, since she says and decides when things are done and how, regardless of the opinion of others. The only thing that is valid is his opinion and does not care if with her attitude she hurts her assistants, she demands perfection at all times.
Teamwork analysis evidence by the characters:
Runway has a weak organizational culture, since the company members do not feel convinced that the values pursued are correct, since the control system is bureaucratic and imposed by Miranda Priestly. This culture is given by the authoritarian and closed address of the company.
- Commitment: Commitment is evidenced in Runway’s company workers to meet Miranda Priestly’s demands. A clear example where it is evidence.
- Trust: In one of the scenes, Emily tells Andrea that only the person who most trusts Miranda can take the book where he makes his annotations about the designs of the dresses to his house. There comes a time when Miranda comes to trust Andrea and orders her to perform that action.
conclusion
Andrea Sachs’s goal is to work for a year as a Miranda assistant to obtain good recommendations when he decides to change work to an editorial in which he can be a writer. At first, Andrea shows her rejection of Runway’s lifestyle, because she is not interested in the fashion they try to implement their workers.
However, after the film she becomes part of this style guided by fashion assistant Nigel and Miranda Priestly with her constant rejections of her way of dressing. Andrea begins to have problems in her personal and sentimental life due to the demands of her work, which takes most of her time. The outcome of the film occurs when Emily suffers an accident and Andrea tells him Miranda’s decision, which consisted of bringing Paris to her in replacement for Emily.
