The Devil Wears Prada: Book vs. FilmIt is said that you can never turn a successful book into a good film. But is this necessarily true? Not in the case of Lauren Weisberger's The Devil Wears Prada. This story is about a woman named Andrea who gets a job that "a million girls would die for." Working in a fashion magazine, as an assistant, she begins to realize how much this profession requires patience and determination. Andrea must decide if this job is really worth ruining her personal life and the relationships she has with friends and family. This story follows Andrea's personal struggle and development. The success of this story encouraged director David Frankel to visualize the story and want to adapt it for film. Comparing the two, the film portrays the story better, based on the director's interpretation which presents the film as a better and more enjoyable experience. The film version of The Devil Wears Prada is superior to the novel because of the plot, theme, and characters. The overuse of description in the novel led to the failure to capture the reader's attention, while the film ended up presenting the plot in a more interesting and visually appealing manner. This is demonstrated by the tasks that Andrea must overcome in the story. In Weisberger's story, the tasks she is tasked with completing make it seem like a much more complicated plot than it is and bore the reader because each adventure to complete a task takes up a few chapters. A perfect example of this situation would be when Andrea goes out every morning to get food or coffee for Miranda. “I quickly transferred my cell phone and cigarettes to my coat pocket and ran. I only had a few minutes to get down on the ground...... middle of paper...... on the other hand, in the novel, the reader does not see how she chooses her professional life rather than her personal life. The only change the reader sees is when at the end she is given an impossible task and decides to quit because it's too hard and not worth ruining her personal life. '' 'I'm sorry, Miranda…but I don't think I'll be able to make it to tomorrow's party. You understand, don't you? I'm sure it will be lovely, so enjoy. That’s all.’…I couldn’t remember feeling better than I did at that very moment. I was going home.'' Even though she still decided to quit in the novel, it doesn't really show the reader the ordeals Andrea had to go through in the film. Looking at Andrea in both the book and the film, it's clear that she is shown in 2 completely different ways, and the book cannot compare to the degree of character development in the film..
