For auld lang syne - 40 year old fairy tale

The movie version of "Sex and the City" was read in two parts. I only browsed the long TV series intermittently. The beautiful costumes and the men and women in the world made the raucous love and gorgeous women even more clamorous. It's just that I didn't think of the movie version, which is a warm cup of coffee.

Different from many people, they watch the movie version because they have been worried about ten years before, and I don't have it. Browsing the TV version lightly allows me to calm down and slowly taste the coffee of this movie without any emotion. Without any subtle errors.



Look at the first half, still appreciate the wonderful clothes, guess the grand wedding, enjoy the decoration of white gauze and lace, that bright and the best wardrobe in the world is every woman's dream. I also guessed what would happen to Big. The car of the two stopped on the street, and when Carrie dragged her long wedding dress to him, I was still tricked by the director, thinking that she would throw herself into his arms and cry— The bride with a bird on her head smashed her hands full of white roses on the man's face. When the wedding car drove away, the white rose petals fell from the car body, and I sighed softly...

not "ever thine, ever" mine, ever ours"?

Lie to your own nonsense. We always say to ourselves that everything will be alright; we say to the person we love that everything will be alright; when the petals fall and run away in a panic, not everyone can have such a romantic Mexican island To escape, and three female companions who can leave work, bring the small table to the bed, and feed you with a small spoon...



The second half of the movie, I originally wanted to take it to the live broadcast room to watch it when I was on duty, although I couldn't hear it. When it comes to the sound, at least you can enjoy the picture - fortunately not, otherwise you will miss this piece of music.

As soon as Charlotte was pregnant, I started to feel uncomfortable, I was very worried about her bulging belly, I watched too many domestic dramas that are prone to miscarriage, I was afraid of being hurt like that, or I was afraid of seeing these four at the end of the decade. No woman can get a Happy ending. Seeing her running in the winter wearing a blue down jacket, I was still worried, but gradually I began to believe that the director and screenwriter had the same mood as me, and hoped that the end of the decade would be full of warmth and smiles.

Then I heard this "auld lang syne". On New Year's Eve, Miranda sees off her son and Steve, turns around and locks the door savagely, then wets her eyes; Carrie watches musicals, eats instant noodles, puts an ellipsis after "LOVE" on the computer screen and deletes it... The phone rings When it sounded, my mind went fast - could it be Big? Is it Big? As a result, it was a call between two lonely women. Carrie put on fur over her pajamas and went out in the heavy snow. It was this music that sounded—the camera kept switching to every corner of the city, this city called New York— Carrie arrives at Miranda's door at the countdown, and the hug looks a little better, but still... lonely; Samantha and the man who accompanied her chemo kiss in front of the warm fireplace; The little princess Lily, and her lovely bald-headed husband staged a complete family; when I saw the couple around me kissing and Big was picking up the wine glass behind the bar, there was a faint gloating in my heart, but it was more at that moment. Feel the loneliness of a woman.

Perhaps the reason for starting a family, Miranda said, was not to eat Chinese food alone on New Year's Eve. We choose someone to hold hands, maybe just because we are lonely at a certain moment; we choose to write a vow with someone, maybe just because we are afraid of being lonely in the future. Women are the animals most afraid of loneliness in the world. When they are happy, they can also see the loneliness lurking in the distance. I often think that maybe this is the reason why women are weak. No woman dares to accept the fact of being lonely all the time. No matter how successful and strong she is.

Compared to that, I prefer Luise from St. Luise. She frankly said that the reason for coming from New York is "fall in love", she hangs the golden "LOVE" on the key and carries it with her, she gets the LV bag Screaming when the bag, she made Carrie feel that she spent the most valuable money, and she also brought Carrie happiness.



In the end, Big got on his knees and proposed marriage as we all imagined, and the blue high heels completed the mission of the diamond ring - when we were young, we all wished to have a boyfriend, on the street where people come and go Or at the school gate, squat down to help you tie your shoelaces; and now, I will also imagine a man, holding up your little feet and gently putting them into high heels. It's as romantic as wearing a diamond ring.

At the end, I seem to finally understand that "Sex and the city" basically has nothing to do with sex and city. In the film, a 20-year-old girl came to New York for two things, label and love. And this film is to tell us that the label will eventually pass, and all we must have is love.

Carrie finished the simple wedding in an unbranded white suit, with her feet up when kissing, reminding me of The Princess Diaries. Looking back, Samantha's beaded ring, Miranda's composite bridge, and Charlotte's Lily and Rose twins, in fact, the whole movie is creating a fairy tale for a forty-year-old woman, including princes, palaces, lace, and Curly hair and a pretty dress, and a princess' little princess...

Samantha said when he broke up with the man he still loves, I love you, but I love myself more, and I've loved myself for 49 years. At that time, I suddenly couldn't believe it, I murmured to myself, is it 39? ——I still can’t believe that it is a fairy tale of a 40-year-old woman. When we are 40 ourselves, will anyone create such a fairy tale for us? Or do you still have the courage to believe in fairy tales?

The burning 50 on Samantha's birthday cake was licked and eaten by her. The four women clink glasses and say, for the next fifty!

"auld lang syne" still reverberated in my mind when the movie was over. Friendship lasts forever, and true love is a must. All stories tell us that we must always believe in the possibility of fairy tales, and believe that the world will not treat us badly. The prince will have it, the palace will have it, the shining beaded ring and the little rose princess, the man who cheated is just a momentary confusion, at least we still have those love letters that moved us to tears. Ever thine, ever mine, ever ours…
