This essay aims to compare three movies, focusing on Anne Hathaway. Three movies are The Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada and Alice in Wonderland.
First, The Princess Diaries was made in America, and it was shown in 2001. This is her first movie as a leading actress. This movie is a cinderella story. In this movie, Anne Hathaway's part is a girl who goes to high school. Her name is Mia. She was retiring, shy and stupid. Her parents had divorced, and she lived with her mother.
One day, few weeks before Mia's 16th birthday, her grandmother, Clarisse, on her father's side came to see her from Europe. Mia and her grandmother had never seen before. Clarisse told Mia that she was a queen of Genovia, it was a small European kingdom, and Mia was a person of succession. First, Mia would like to give up the right. However, she concerned her father, and she decided that she took an education for a princess by the day of a ball three weeks later, and she was going to choose the choices that she came to the throne or not then. Her father kept on concerning Mia, after he and her mother divorced, and he sent Mia presents and letters on her birthday every year, but he died suddenly of an accident. Between of Mia and Queen Clarisse, a ties that bind grandmother and granddaughter together had begun to grow during Mia learned manners and greeting worthy of princess.
She changed her appearances and personality, so she was approached by Josh who was a man of Mia's dreams. But he just wanted to become famous used her position. Then, she noticed for the first time that her best friend's older brother, Michael, encouraged and really loved her. She knew that she was supported by her father, her best friend, Michael and so on. After that, she chose the way of Princess Genovia.
Next, The Devil Wears Prada was shown in America in 2006. The catch copy of this movie is ‘Your story to try hard work and love’, ‘Such best workplace may die!’ and ‘With such worst boss, I don’t want to die!’. Anne Hathaway is the leading actress, and her role is an assistant of a chief editor of fashion magazine. Her role’s name is Andrea "Andy" Sachs. This movie describe gorgeous and humorous.
This story is about fashion, working, love and relationship. And this movie’s summary is that Andy who has become Assistant of chief editor of the superb fashion magazine, though there is not the interest at all. But the chief editor, Miranda, was a woman like the devils who was afraid as a dictator from all around. The editorial department of fashion magazine looked like a gorgeous editorial department, but in fact, it is severe. Andy is vacillating between hope and fear, has an ambition to be a journalist. She meet the chief editor like the devils who says unreasonable. And Andy finds out a living way.
This movie is so interesting. Andy became perfect woman through she met Miranda. Her efforts were rewarded. This movie tell us to make effort is important. She wears a frumpy dress at first time, but she becomes a smart dresser. She matured about mental and looks.
Lastly, Alice in Wonderland is a fantasy movie. It was released in 2010. Tim Burton directed this movie. This story is about a girl who goes to Wonderland by accident. When she went to wonderland, the world was controlled by Queen of Red. Queen of Red is described evilly and cruelly. The girl, whose name is Alice, fights against Queen of Red in order to hand over sovereignty to Queen of White. Anne Hathaway acts Queen of White in the movie. Queen of White is a younger sister of Queen of Red, but she is opposite to Queen of Red. She is beautiful, elegant and gracious, but she sometimes looks pretty and strange. People loved Queen of White and admire her.
The attraction of Anne Hathaway’s act in this movie is expression. When Queen of White talks to Alice seriously, she fastens her eyes on Alice. As she makes a medicine to become small people’s body, she looks very interesting and strange because she put fantastic things into the medicine. Her gestures and expressions are funny then. She is so expressive!
In this movie, people who are in wonderland wear unique makeup. Anne Hathaway wears white dress, and she applies white to her face to become Queen of White. Her hair is also white. Moreover, opposite to white, her eyes and eyebrows are applied black, and her lip is applied dark red. She wears heavy makeup, but her beauty doesn’t change.
That is why Anne Hathaway is a wonderful actress. In the Princess Diaries, she gave a great hit of one hundred million the whole America, and she became very famous. In the Devil wears Prada, she is a leading actress, and her acting attracts all women. Anne Hathaway acts a life-size Andy’s feelings. In Alice in Wonderland, she is not a leading actress, but her act in the movie fascinates audiences. She is beautiful, and she is a good actress. We want to watch her other movies.
