Someone asked Meryl Streep whether her new movie, "The Devil Wears Prada," is a feminist film. A look of horror spread across her face. "Well, there's a way to kill the box office." Better to lure male moviegoers with a profusion of beautifully draped bodies of the sensuous female of the species.
Nevertheless, her movie is very much a feminist film and a morality tale, too dramatizing what a woman (like a man) has to do to get to the top of a tough trade. In this case, the trade is the world of fashion. Meryl Streep makes it clear that she modeled her character after certain men she has known in the entertainment industry. (No names provided.)

[...] many critics read the characterization of the city as a reflection of the period's economic history: the increasing globalization of the national economy with respect to the Pacific Rim, especially LA, and the widespread "Yellow Peril" fear of a Japanese corporate invasion. In history books, he's the kind of cop who used to call black men 'niggers.' This exchange establishes Bryant and Deckard as stock figures of twentieth-century Civil Rights narratives: the Southern redneck cop and the cynical but nonracist white one.
