Feminism has always been a topic of discussion, and movies about feminism are also emerging in an endless stream. Gender equality in society and women's realization of self-worth and pursuit of dreams have always been advocated today. Therefore, it is meaningful to study feminism. The research theme of this paper is the application and role of montage theory in the film. This paper will mainly analyze the different montage shots in the Devil Wears Prada to analyze how to present the main theme of feminism. Through the analysis of the film lens, it is found that the montage technique clips several separate shots together to present a better effect, showing the confidence and persistence of the protagonist Andy in the workplace, and successfully shaping a female image who bravely pursues her dream.
