The Devil Wears Prada/ Up in the Air/ The Intern

05:50:00

There are three stepping stones in your professional life. One is at the beginning of your career (full of high hopes and 'I want to prove everybody wrong' drive), the second somewhere in the middle when you are finally at ease with your duties and your profession blends with your identity; and the final one, when you don't have to work anymore and come to the conclusion that retirement might not be a solution at all. The omnipresent question of work-life balance finally rings true. Can you be successful in your career not sacrificing your personal life? Is your career and morale of what you do really worth selling your soul to the devil and resigning from personal values and aspirations? Is a relationship worth giving up on your dreams and ambitions, being fragile as it is in the world of frustrations, one-night-stands, and infidelity? Difficult questions at any point in your career, proving that you rarely can kill two birds with one stone and you always have to choose between and deal with the consequences of these choices. Three films depicting the reality of contemporary lifestyle, career ladder ups and downs, and hopes for personal success, which is not for everyone. Lots of food for thought, enjoy.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
