无意中看到Scarlett Johansson的保姆日记。里面的fictional super upper east side mom居然是smith毕业的。住在park ave的penthouse。巨大的walking closet。没有工作没有收入，公寓巨大。进门就是一束白玫瑰。Smith毕业以后开着Art Gallery，直到有了孩子。故事是这样的。开头就是她从一个state university business high honors毕业后去goldman sachs面试。面试的人问，请你诉说一下你是谁。Scarlett说不出，就逃出去了。然后她在中央公园放空的时候很random的得到了“许多”在upper east side做保姆的机会。于是她去和那位smithie去bergdorf吃饭顺便"interview"。那位smithie说i'm from Connecticut. i went to Smithie by the way. 于是困顿的我就醒过来了。Smithie说我们并没有相信smith有很多lesbians，你看我毕业出来也都好好的。要是这群住在upper east side的Smithies多回学校估计学校早回前十了。更别说老公们都是i-banker:"Keep him quiet in night okay. I got a merger to do." 全都鼓动老公回Smith收intern不久得了。回头说Scarlett Johansson，真的是瘦了非常多。Scarlett
整个电影有点讽刺upper east side的生活方式。一开始Mr. X的连脸都没有露。一家三口和保姆坐在limo里。孩子喧闹着，丈夫打着电话说着merger deal，妻子打着电话说着charity stuff。各干个的。搞笑的是那个小男孩is not allowed to eat sugar cereals, and told the nanny that "low sugar" is different from "sugar free". And the boy said "I am not allowed to go to the west side". 父母吵架的时候Scarlett用床单罩着小男孩。小男孩闷着不说话，没有哭。讽刺地是这群上流社会的女人还有个nanny conflict seminar。能装成这样也不容易。难怪smith四年offer那么多大大小小的seminars，为以后参加那么有意义的seminar做好准备。btw电影里的Smithie非常的UES： self-orientated and manipulative.
我是一边看这个电影一边在写这个。就在刚才Smithie请了一个consultant to investigate the nanny of child education因为小男孩被Collegiate rejected。
(The boy is six-year-old.)
Consultant: Do you read Wall Street Journal to the boy? Financial Times? Reuters?
Nanny: [Silence] I sing him songs in French.
Scarlett says,
Adultery is pathological ignored.
I still don't understand why someone who has everything and still be miserable.
...who gets more turned on by the Bloomberg...
New York Times的review抬头是这样的：The Devil Wears Down Her Nanny
搞笑的是我看Mrs. X的时候也想到了slave-driver Miranda Priestly。
