This film highlighted the emotional, psychological side of abuse in a relationship that I don't think I ever saw. I understand physical abuse, but the mental side of abuse in a relationship I never really explored. Of course, Nikki wasn't herself but Wishnikki definitely made me think twice.

The first time I was scared of Wishnikki was the night after she stayed at Bear's house and they went to work the next day. When he was talking to Ian, Wishnikki just kept staring at them (?!) Like huh...

The second time I was scared is after the relationship montage when they're at the restaurant and Bear confronts Wishnikki about her dad. That face switch and emotion adjustment was WIIIIIIIIILD.

Every single time Nikki managed to gain control of her body, I jumped! Especially the first night they kiss and at the games night before she hurts her face.

I understand this is in indie-movie, but after he made the wish, everything escalated so quickly. Normally in movies, when someone does something/something random happens that alters reality, everything changes the next day. I'm thinking of Shaun of the Dead, Aladdin, Wanted etc. etc. This was fairly instant.

I feel so bad for Sarah who Wishnikki ended. Like she got into the school she wanted to and will never attend. Also, the fact that Bear just went along with Wishnikki and disposed of Sarah's remains is CRAAAZY. Jail time. Immediately.

I'm confused by the phone conversation he had when he called the number on the back of the package. Who was he speaking to in the end? And also, a small part of me wanted him to suffer because you were asked if you wanted to cancel your wish and you're out here bargaining?!! GIRL IF YOU DON'T CANCEL YOUR WISH!!

When Wishnikki was digging up the carpet, I initially thought she was breaking out and had coldsores/acne all over her. When the camera panned down I was OMG. This girl is on one.

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ABOUT THE WAY NIKKI'S BODY WAS MOVING! The first time she did it when watching him sleep I was sooooooo terrified. I was hoping he would get up and switch the lights on. Then the second times at the end of the film, I was like no WAY. Do you remember how her body moved after Bear told Wishnikki he loved her?

Ian is a tramp for sleeping with Nikki and making Bear believe he actually had a chance with her.

Do you remember when she taped up the door and he had to leave?

Also, I genuinely think Bear is trash. He was scared of her and couldn't handle how on-edge Wishnikki made him feel. Why he didn't break up with her or just try to leave is BEYOND ME. Abuser FUHREAL.

When he first told Wishnikki that he was going to the boys-only game night and she switched off the shower (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

When she weed on the carpet like an animal marking her territory (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

When she kept smiling in that uncomfortable position like she was cast in the smile movie (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)

When she broke the car door to get to Sarah (?!?!?!?!?!?)

When she kept Sarah in the house after doing what she did to her in the car (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?)

When she was threatening her own survival in front of Bear just before Ian walked in the house (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

When Bear walked in the house and she was in the corner yet again (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?)

When she was banging on the door because Bear locked himself in the bathroom (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

When she commemorated the cat the morning after (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?)

Every time she'd read a poem or say something to Bear when he expressed interest in either of them taking a break from each other (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!)

The Devil Wears Prada is a life-altering portal for me. Everytime I watch something connected to that world, a big decision happens in my life.

After watching the first film, I knew I wanted to work in an industry like that. I then went to watch the play in London featuring Vanessa Williams.

She wasn't at that viewing because she had to return home to deal with personal matters. At the time, I was sick and tired of my job, and was basically on my way out. It was painful because that job secured a lot for me. I was unhappy with the job but it did pay my bills and it was primarily remote work so what I saved in travel, I spent on food.

After leaving that job, I was unemployed for most of 2025, working odd jobs to try and hold an income and contribute to my household.

I landed a job in September, which I wasn't happy with but knew it's where I needed to be, to pay my bills and contribute to my bills. I was on probation for six months, and didn't know if I was going to pass. To be honest, I didn't really care if I passed probation. So every paycheck I received, I ensured most of it went towards paying off loans and credit cards.

The main stress about not having a job comes from the uncertainty of being able to pay your bills. If no one had bills to pay, no one would really give a shit about their job. They'd do jobs more community and arts focus—I think.

Anyway, I watched The Devil Wears Prada play for a second time in December 2025 and it was 12 days before I was let go from my job because the company was ceasing operations. I was devastated but not to unhappy. I managed to pay off most bills and was in the best financial position I could be in. I guess I was just sad because I didn't know when my next paycheck was coming.

Yesterday, I went to watch the Devil Wears Prada 2 and the cinema experience was great. We went to a really fancy cinema. But somehow, my passion for publishing has kicked up a notch, and I want to fix-up my tumblr so it looks more aesthetically pleasing. I love writing.

I hope watching this film this time brings more positive change to my life. Even though watching projects connected to this franchise have changed my life and maybe made me slightly uncomfortable at the time, I think more of that energy will continue to fester.

My life will continue to change for the better. Because every time I stop to think about my life, it always works out in the end. I don't endure hardship for too long. Very happy about that actually. Thank you.

So, yeah. I don't know what it is about that franchise, but it really is a catalyst for change to me. I wonder what the next change is going to be...
