Episode 410 – The Devil Wears Prada: simply solid storytelling

February 16, 2023  

Season 4

Sometimes, studying a story that you love can be a bit scary. What if it turns out that the story is rubbish, and what you really like is the soundtrack, or the actor, or the costumes? Well, you can cast those worries aside this week because The Devil Wears Prada is solid. In terms of structure, it isn’t fancy. It doesn’t waver from the Hero’s Journey/Archplot form, and that’s okay. In fact it’s more than okay because it teaches us what can happen when we focus on the fundamentals.
