Of a chick flick

Spent my evening watching "The Devil Wears Prada" yesterday.

Would say it is a pretty good flick.
Probably deserve at least a 3 star out of 5 in my rating.

Typical "Innnocent-gal-turned-to-the-dark-side-half-way-and-wake-up-later-
realising-how-much-she-has-changed" flick.
Yes. Wouldn't deny that.

But I like the way Merryl Streep acted out Miranda Priestly.
Ooooooooh. Chilling.
Such sarcasm. Man. I would probably cry too.

One thing I appreciate a lot in the movie is from the scene where Miranda Priestly is having a conversation with Andrea Sachs.
Miranda commented that she sees a great deal of herself in "Andy". But Andy was repulsed by the comment. She told her that she could not do to anyone what Miranda had done to Nigel (a huge plot, kind of lazy to explain).
And Miranda replies casually that, she already did.
She (Andy) already did when she accompanied her to Paris.

Andy said she had no choice.

Miranda said she had choice. Yes. She had. She had choosen to advance her career (sacrificing her family and friends and loved one by doing so).
She had choosen.

And Andy had no reply. Because well, Miranda was correct.

Of course, she later choose to leave.

The reason that I appreciate this part of the movie is because this part is kind of reflective on a lot of things that I have been thinking about.
I have been thinking about how much I have not been in control of situations. How, all the things that I have done and choosed to do, is simply because, "I had no choice".

Truth is, I have choice. I made my decision.
Fact is, even when I choose not to make a decision, I have choosen.
I made a choice.
I choose to be ruled.

Simple truth isn't it?
I have been complaining a lot about how much I have not been in control.
How much I have been ruled by other stuffs.
When in fact, I have choosen it to be so.

Putting the blame on other stuffs, when obviously it was all my doing.
Typical of me, no?

Think it is time I take charge?
