嗨，我是艾克叔公
劇情摘要
成為美國知名新聞記者的安迪，一夕之間被公司資遣。陰錯陽差之下受雇回到，拯救因誤刊文章而惹怒廣告商，聲量岌岌可危的RUNWAY。面對到過去的惡魔，安迪有辦法再次度過這次危機嗎 ?
20年後的續集
根據美國作家Lauren Weisberger 2003年出版The Devil Wears Prada(穿著Prada的惡魔)小說所改編，2006年6月上映的同名電影The Devil Wears Prada(穿著Prada的惡魔)。當時製作預算為四千多萬美金，最後全球票房超過三億美金，如此風光，名利雙收的成果，電影製作初期可是完全料想不到。
其中最大癥結點是作者曾任職於Vogue總編輯Anna Wintour助理，本書內容便是根據她當時任職助理時所發想，加上小說發行時出版社更以此為賣點。因此，電影製作公司籌備過程時，幾乎所有的精品品牌拒絕設計師露臉，甚至於其品牌商品也盡量不要在電影中亮相。最後是Prada(對 ! 惡魔穿的那個Prada)率先挺身而出，其他品牌才陸續支援，最後才有機會看到像是Valentino大師或德國名模海蒂克隆Heidi Klum在電影中現身。
20年後的今日，夾帶著第一集的高人氣與收入，一切變得不一樣了 !
不僅是四大要角加導演、編劇皆全回歸，第一集也因為被影射的Vogue全球編輯總監Anna Wintour，本人看完第一集給予正面評價後。不但第二集電影整體預算拉高，所有精品品牌都是熱情地提供自家商品。所以，可以看到慶祝集團執行長生日派對上，多位日前線上當紅模特兒們現身。當時米蘭達等人所參加的其中一場服裝秀，真的是義大利品牌Dolce&Gabbana 2026春夏系列服裝秀發表現場，更別提艾蜜莉現職，也可說是電影最大贊助商的Dior，不斷地出現在電影拍攝場景中。
從資金與資源便能看出，不論是哪個職業、哪個領域，我們終究是必須仰賴著名氣與利益，做什麼事情才會更加方便與通順(以這段作結尾對嗎?)。
20年間的感情
穿著Prada的惡魔2在台灣上映後，意外地獲得褒貶不一的評價，其中一個就是許多人覺得主角們的感情線不必要且多餘，但我反而有不同的想法。就安迪來說，雖不知道當時跟20年前的前男友奈特相識過程，但是跟新男友彼得相識曖昧初期，兩人在興趣、品味，甚至於笑點都表現出極具契合、有著意外的默契與合拍。
還記得第一集當安迪工作越來越吃重，因而嚴重影響到自己跟奈特的生活，奈特與安迪之間開始產生各項爭吵嗎 ? 其中奈特總是嘲諷著時尚產業有多膚淺，更是絲毫完全不支持自己女友全心投入新工作。來到第二集角色立場卻換成安迪認為自己的工作有多神聖、重要，並且暗指彼得的建物承包商工作沒有那麼了不起。當他們在沙發上柔性辯論(相較於第一集的年輕氣盛，真的可說是理性爭吵)，我立刻對應到第一集安迪跟奈特之間的摩擦。
是阿 ! 我們很多時候不經意地，總是將自己的職業神聖化，表示著自己的工作內容有多重要，同時也不注意地輕蔑與貶低其他職業，認為其他職業工作根本不值得一提。我們都忘記職業完全不分貴賤，絕對沒有誰的工作比較偉大，誰的工作一點也沒有貢獻。
相較於第一集的那任前夫，米蘭達新丈夫Stuart則是當她在人生即將崩塌之時立即接住她。除了給予適當中性、沒有過度干涉性的建議，最重要的是提供溫暖的情感價值，不論她做的決定是什麼，他一定會全力支持。特別是以他們兩位的年齡層來看，能有這樣的相處對待方式，真的是可說是相當難得。
這兩條感情線之所以存在必要性，除了職場、世代，當然也要包含人與人之間關係處理態度，尤其是在伴侶關係上。
20年後的人物
穿著Prada的惡魔2在第一集後的二十年登場，因此他們將忠實呈現電影平行時空的時間軸(電影拍攝時間為2025年)。我個人很喜歡的一點是，編劇與工作團隊很完整呈現出人物經過二十年，可能有些東西改變，但也可以發現其實很多東西沒變。
先以米蘭達為例，許多網友提到第二集中的米蘭達個性改變很多，如同電影中安迪說的，她怎麼一下就輕易妥協艾蜜莉所開出各項條件 ? 看完電影之後，大概只能總結為-米蘭達真的很愛RUNWAY。她可以為了RUNWAY改變自己的做事風格，為了RUNWAY改變自己的言行舉止，為的就是能夠讓RUNWAY生命繼續延續下去，尤其是在紙本媒體正在快速殞落的時代。米蘭達改變自己的一言一行，卻沒有改變自己對於時尚、對於RUNWAY的熱愛與堅持。
二十年前以美國西北大學畢業生來面試的安迪，二十年後以資深新聞記者，噢 ! 不 ! 是以自身專業學識來"挽救"聲譽下滑，已經沒多少人在看的時尚雜誌RUNWAY。當持續做著助理該做好的事情，當她交出一篇自認可以挽回民眾觀感的得意文章，二十年過去她依舊是那個充滿自信，同時卻也渴望獲得他人認同，本質沒有改變的安迪。改變的是她的穿衣打扮，對於時尚稍微有更多的了解與喜愛。
以Dior精品品牌高層主管身分登場的艾蜜莉，不論是舉手投足、一顰一笑，讓人一秒回到二十年前那位不可一世的第一助理。不得不說，她對於時尚產業、品牌歷史，以及揶揄功力，我個人覺得大概僅次於米蘭達跟奈吉了吧 ! 從第一助理的自視甚高，到高階主管、富商女友的趾高氣揚，二十年漫長光景過去，充滿氣勢的艾蜜莉依舊沒有改變。唯一有改變的，大概是最後她說出其實想跟安迪做朋友，這樣的勇氣與誠實吧 !
身為電影中最忠誠、最具完全工具人表率的奈吉，他對於米蘭達的忠誠、RUNWAY的熱愛，甚至於挑選時尚拍攝作品，還是用著老方法，二十年過去依舊沒有改變。改變的地方 ? 硬要說大概就是電影最後擁有肯定自己實力的勇氣吧 !
20年間的變化
還記得當時看電影前是抱著重溫這部啟發我對於時尚產業熱愛的經典作品，萬萬沒想到我會因為看穿著Prada的惡魔2，坐在戲院裡默默流下眼淚。當集團金融投資二代Jay Ravitz接下RUNWAY和整個集團，他其實一點也不在乎這些父親血汗打拼出的一片江山，尤其是現在一直在賠錢的RUNWAY。看到他找來整個財務規劃團隊，預計將整個RUNWAY大量縮編。
還是當科技生意人班吉以毫不在乎的語氣，向米蘭達表態著未來將是數位科技、人工智慧的時代，即使我們想要努力保存這些蘊藏人類智慧與精湛手工藝的藝術與時尚，終究這些將歸於塵土，現在又何必苟延殘喘撐著呢 ? 從米蘭達的眼神，到她繞著義大利著名景點-艾馬努埃萊二世拱廊街的身影。即使穿著華服，即使這個景色美的驚人，卻遮掩不住她這一生小心呵護的心血即將瞬間被人踐踏，那樣的痛心、那樣的悲戚。
我個人覺得最具哭點，一定是當安迪獲得消息RUNWAY將會被大量裁撤，急忙地告知奈吉。正在工作的奈吉，只是默默地接受這個消息，最後只得繼續手上工作，真的是超級心疼他。雖然即使身為米蘭達副手，論經驗、論資歷，論對於時尚產業熟識度，還是對於RUNWAY的狂熱程度，他可是一點也不輸米蘭達。現在還沒站上屬於自己真正實力的位置，就要被一個一點也不在意這個集團、這個雜誌的集團接班人給資遣，奈吉年紀可不小了阿 ! 面對這樣殘酷的現實，他並沒有表現出任何一種憤怒或悲傷的情緒，反而以一種成熟穩重，一如他過往給我們的那種個性來面對，負面情緒被壓抑住更加顯得讓人心疼阿 !

Plot Summary
After becoming a well-known journalist in the United States, Andy suddenly loses her job overnight. By a twist of fate, she is hired once again to help save RUNWAY, a fashion magazine whose reputation and influence are collapsing after publishing an article that angered major advertisers.
Now forced to face the devil from her past once again, can Andy survive another crisis?
A Sequel Arriving 20 Years Later
Based on the 2003 novel The Devil Wears Prada by American author Lauren Weisberger, the film adaptation of the same name, The Devil Wears Prada, was released in June 2006.
At the time, the film was produced with a budget of over 40 million USD, eventually earning more than 300 million USD worldwide. Looking back now, such overwhelming success and fame were outcomes the production team never could have fully expected in the beginning.
One of the biggest issues during production came from the novel’s background itself. Lauren Weisberger had previously worked as an assistant to Anna Wintour, and the story was heavily inspired by her real-life experiences during that period. The publisher even used this connection as part of the book’s marketing strategy. Because of this, during the early stages of film production, nearly every luxury fashion brand refused to allow designers to appear in the movie, and many did not even want their products shown on screen.
In the end, Prada — yes, the very Prada from the title — became one of the first major brands to support the project. Only after that did other luxury brands gradually join in, making it possible for audiences to eventually see appearances from figures such as legendary designer Valentino Garavani and German supermodel Heidi Klum within the film itself.
Twenty years later, things are completely different.
Backed by the massive popularity and financial success of the first film, the sequel arrives with far greater resources. Not only are the four main cast members returning alongside the director and screenwriter, but even Anna Wintour — who was widely believed to have inspired the original Miranda character — reportedly gave positive feedback after watching the first movie.
As a result, the sequel’s production budget became significantly larger, while luxury brands enthusiastically provided their products for the film. During the CEO birthday party scene, multiple currently popular runway models make appearances throughout the sequence. One of the runway shows attended by Miranda and the others was even filmed during the real presentation of Dolce&Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection. Not to mention Emily’s current workplace, Dior — arguably the film’s biggest sponsor — constantly appearing throughout various scenes in the movie.
From the scale of funding and resources alone, the film quietly reflects a reality that exists across every industry and profession: fame, influence, and profit often determine how smoothly things can move forward.
20 Years of Relationships
After its release in Taiwan, The Devil Wears Prada 2 received mixed reactions. One of the most common criticisms was that the romantic storylines felt unnecessary or even redundant. However, I actually see it differently.
For Andy, although we don’t know exactly how she met her ex-boyfriend Nate in the first film, her dynamic with her new boyfriend Peter starts off quite naturally. In the early stages of their relationship, they share strong chemistry — similar interests, similar taste, and even similar humor — creating an unexpected sense of compatibility and ease.
In the first film, as Andy becomes increasingly consumed by her job, her relationship with Nate begins to suffer. Arguments grow more frequent, and Nate often mocks the fashion industry as shallow, while completely failing to support Andy’s full commitment to her career.
In contrast, the sequel flips the dynamic. Now it is Andy who begins to see her work as something almost sacred and important, subtly belittling Peter’s job as a construction contractor as if it were less meaningful. During their conversations on the sofa — more like calm debates than the heated arguments of their younger selves in the first film — I was immediately reminded of the tension between Andy and Nate two decades ago.
We often unconsciously elevate our own professions, treating them as more meaningful or important, while overlooking or even dismissing the value of others’ work. In reality, no profession is inherently superior. There is no hierarchy of worth when it comes to how people contribute.
Compared to Andy’s first boyfriend, Miranda’s new husband Stuart stands in stark contrast. When her life is on the verge of collapse, he is the one who quietly supports her. He offers neutral, non-intrusive advice, but more importantly, emotional stability. No matter what decision she makes, he stands firmly behind her.
Given their age and life experience, this kind of relationship feels especially rare and valuable.
These two storylines are not just about romance. They also reflect how people navigate relationships across careers, generations, and emotional expectations — especially within partnerships.
Characters After 20 Years
Set two decades after the first film, The Devil Wears Prada 2 carefully preserves its internal timeline (with the story positioned around 2025). One thing I particularly appreciate is how the writing team shows both change and continuity in its characters after twenty years.
Take Miranda, for example. Many viewers feel she has changed significantly in the sequel. As Andy points out in the film, how can she so easily compromise on the conditions set by Emily? After watching the film, one can only conclude: Miranda truly loves RUNWAY.
She is willing to change her working style, adjust her behavior, and even reshape her communication — all to keep RUNWAY alive in an era where print media is rapidly declining. Yet despite all these changes, her passion and devotion to fashion and RUNWAY remain unchanged.
Andy, who once graduated from Northwestern University and entered the first film as a young assistant, returns twenty years later as a seasoned journalist — or rather, someone attempting to “save” the declining fashion magazine RUNWAY. Even while performing assistant-level tasks and submitting an article she believes could restore public perception, she remains fundamentally the same Andy: confident, yet still seeking validation from others. What has changed is her wardrobe, and perhaps a deeper appreciation for fashion.
Emily, now appearing as a Dior executive, immediately brings us back to her former self from twenty years ago. Every gesture, every expression still carries that same commanding presence. Her knowledge of fashion, brand history, and sharp wit remain unmatched — arguably second only to Miranda and Nigel.
From being an ambitious first assistant to a high-ranking executive and wealthy partner, Emily has changed in status, but not in essence. The only notable difference is perhaps her newfound courage to admit, at the end, that she wants to be friends with Andy — a rare moment of honesty and vulnerability.
Nigel, the most loyal and indispensable figure in the film, remains unchanged in his devotion to Miranda and RUNWAY. His passion for fashion and his old-school approach to styling and production still define him even after twenty years. If there is any change at all, it is perhaps the quiet confidence he finally gains in recognizing his own value.
Changes Over 20 Years
Before watching the film, I expected a nostalgic return to the work that first sparked my love for the fashion industry. I did not expect to find myself sitting in a theater, quietly tearing up while watching The Devil Wears Prada 2.
When the next-generation executive Jay Ravitz takes control of RUNWAY and the larger conglomerate, he shows little interest in the legacy built through years of effort. Especially RUNWAY — now a loss-making publication — becomes an easy target for restructuring and downsizing.
Similarly, tech entrepreneur Benji coldly states that the future belongs to digital technology and artificial intelligence. Even if we try to preserve the artistry and craftsmanship embedded in fashion and human creativity, they will eventually fade away. So why continue to struggle against the inevitable?
From Miranda’s gaze to her silhouette walking through Milan’s iconic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the pain becomes unmistakable. Even surrounded by beauty and dressed in elegance, she cannot hide the devastation of watching everything she built slowly dismantled.
For me, the most heartbreaking moment comes when Andy learns that RUNWAY is about to undergo major cuts and rushes to inform Nigel. Nigel, still working, simply absorbs the news and quietly returns to his tasks. No anger. No breakdown. Just acceptance.
It is especially painful because Nigel, despite being Miranda’s longtime deputy, possesses unmatched experience, knowledge, and passion for fashion. Yet before ever truly stepping into a position that reflects his ability, he is dismissed by someone who has no emotional connection to the industry. He is not young anymore, and his quiet endurance makes the moment even heavier — a restrained sadness that says more than words ever could.
