This film made my hair stand on end and I came away from it thinking that the adults in it ought to be indicted for child abuse. These children are being intellectually immobilized in the name of goodness and purity. Do they really think they are superior to other young religious zealots who study nothing but their holy book but who are not Christians? It seems that children ought to be exposed to all the wonders of the world instead of being told that their job is to point out the errors of others. Children are highly impressionable and mostly believe what adults tell them. We can only hope that some of these children get some exposure to reality later which will help them live productive and caring lives as people who can accept the world's diversity. The prospects are not good.

The Devil Wears Prada
(2006)
This is how you stay at the top!
1 July 2006
High fashion is sort of like art and religion--it is a con game but as long as you believe in it strongly enough you make it valuable and you're part of the club. This is the best sort of business plan since the seller decides what is important and the buyer accepts that. But there's nothing wrong with this in the business world and this film does a grand job of showing us how a powerful person runs the joint she works in and how she manipulates everyone in her world and how she is able to anticipate attacks and survive them. Miranda is mean but also admirable. Her power is administered ruthlessly but calmly and let's face it, it's a delight to watch it happen. This is a wonderful film to watch.
