Emily: "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job."
How many times have you said that in your mind?
When you start to work, you'll get a shock.
You feel you do your best, but it is not paid enough.
Here comes a Nigel's word, "You are not trying, you are whining."
It applies to anyone because a reality is always different from what you imagined.
When you can enjoy handling such difference, you might get a first ticket to be a business person, I guess.
The film is a fast-paced movie that tells about Andrea's first job experience out of college.
She has to transform herself to be a worker (not a labor) in the film.
That transformation doesn't happen naturally.
There are many things she has to go through.
"Working Girl (1988)" is one of the famous movies focusing on the working style of women.
Even though it was comedy, I think things were very competitive in that story.
If my memory was correct, that made me evoke a feeling like "treat your friend as if he will one day be your enemy, and your enemy as if he will one day be your friend"in some parts
It shivered.Now, after almost 20 years or so, this film reflects a social norm; It's up to you to chose your direction and make a decision to move forward in your career path.
Can I say it encourages individualism in any way?
Hopefully, that is not so bad

"I have worked with lots of people who are very powerful that don't raise their voices. Lots of them are men. I found often the people who are the most sort of terrifying can just raise their eyebrows and move mountains. It is interested me to see what it's like. My mother always said that her mother who had 5 children could just look around the table and she just raise her eyebrow and "everybody, I cannot manage my household this way. I have to ask everybody 5 times and as I start to scream then they hear me." I wanted to play her if she can control things the way my grandmother did.
I was very concerned with how she looked and just a whole image that she presented. We experimented with different kind of looks and things. But a woman who have had this job like Diana Vreeland, some of them with more vivid personalities, seem to pick a kind of strong statement visually. And then they keep it forever. They've never changed. Even though they are in the fashion world, they don't change the way they look. That interested me. So we picked this white hair. I had a friend, I mean a woman that I knew Liz Tilberis who was the editor of Harper's Bazzar New York. She had this beautiful white hair. So I thought about her."
