I don’t envy the challenge of making a sequel to an iconic generation-defining movie 20 years later. Two decades have passed, and it’s not just that the actors are older and smartphones are everywhere. We’re in a different world today, and the reality of radical wealth centralization around a few billionaires with no taste has started to encroach even on the elite world of fashion that the original movie portrayed.

At its core, the original movie was about _work_. Miranda is at the pinnacle of wealth, society, and power through her _work_. Work is what she does. It’s her entire life. And she _loves_ it. Andrea is young and wealthy and privileged, but she’s also highly educated and extremely talented and hopes, dreams, aspires for validation through her _work_. For young aspiring members of the future PMC class, it was exhilarating. Sure, you didn’t have much, but the future! Power, wealth, recognition, and the _thrill_ and _excitement_ of success were just around the corner. And how would you get there? Work!!

Today, things are different. All the money in society is concentrated in the hands of a bakers dozen of billionaires. And they don’t give two fucks about style, taste, beauty, humanity, morality, or human labor. They don’t give a fuck about work. It doesn’t matter how smart you are. How hard you strive. How tough you hustle. Because there’s no path from where you are to the top. Period.

The reason—the only reason—The Devil Wears Prada 2 succeeds is because it acknowledges this. In 2006 the top of the top of the top was Miranda, but in 2026 even she is forced to grovel and beg to billionaires who care about nothing. Emily Blunt makes the reality explicit, dating men she finds despicable (‘patrons,’ she calls them) because, in 2026, this is the only kind of ‘work’ that can give someone access to true wealth and power.

At one point a billionaire suggests they just fire everyone and replace the magazine with AI slop.

It’s important to recognize this is, technically, a work of fiction and not a documentary.

4/5 stars. Or, 3/5 because it’s still a sequel.

Eki-net subtly shaming me for trying to book a ticket too late at night.

(In my defense, I was still within the hours of operation shown on the same page.)

Heard a plane overhead on a route that’s usually only used 3pm to 7pm.

Looks like a Seoul to Seattle Delta flight diverting to Haneda after getting well into its journey.

8.2兆円を燃やして、持続的な経済効果はゼロ。

本来ならソーラーパネルやEVなどの再生エネルギーに投資すれば、何十年も続く経済効果が期待できたはずなのに、その資源をガソリンという消耗品に費やしてしまった。

本当に残念だ。
