better than the first

Originally, I went to Tsim Sha Tsui to listen to a sermon with a sister in the church, but it turned out to be a coincidence, and I watched the second movie of Sex and City without a choice.
At first, I was quite helpless, and I muttered and complained in my heart. Are there no other themes in the current movies besides violence and pornography? However, from the very beginning, he was attracted by the gorgeous set, witty lines, compact plot, and a crowd of handsome men and beautiful women. Better than the first one! The beginning is very good. It compares the rustic style of the four beauties who just arrived in New York with the current fashion and chic, and then a pair of gay friends in the TV series actually went to the temple of marriage. There are also old-fashioned big-name movie stars, such as the handsome man from hit on Mr.big, who is the star of the smash hit TV series "The Pretender", and the Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz, Tom's ex-girlfriend, too. Come guest star as vice president of a bank in her nation's capital.
Very well made and ingenious. Put four bold women in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, and one woman wears black and covers her head, and men and women are not allowed to hug in public.
There are two scenes that are shocking. One is that after Samanda's bag was pulled open, condoms and the like were scattered all over the place. Of course, she was besieged and scolded by angry local men. Sister Sa screamed in the street: "yes, I have sex!" What are you doing? I couldn't help but stand on her side. I felt that those who accused her were hypocrites, like the Farises whom the Lord Jesus often sneered at. To engage in formalism, to make women swim tight, but they can marry many wives, and have fun in nightclubs, double standards, and oppression of women. There is also a scene of several Arab girls, after taking off their black clothes and covering their heads, there are the latest fashion designer clothes. Strict laws cannot resist the pursuit of beautiful souls and lively youth.
In fact, recently, I have been doing some reflection on my beliefs. In examining Genesis, a brother who studies feminism said that some feminists believe that religious traditions are one of the sources of inequality between men and women. In a way, it seems, because the Bible says that the man is the head of the woman, that the woman is made for the man, that the woman is to be submissive, that the woman is to be ruled by her husband, and so on. But on the flip side, the Bible also teaches that women are helpers to men, and that husbands are to love their wives, not to mention how much Jesus himself loved and respected women. So I feel that God's teachings are all good, but it's just a good book that people sing wrong. As Rousseau said, what God has created is good, but in the hands of man it is corrupted. So formalism is really the biggest enemy of the church, a trap that will fall if you are not careful. Just like what we believers are pursuing today is the revival of the church, I have been thinking recently, has the church not prospered? some! It even dominated for a while. But what is that history called? dark age! Dark age! An era in which "heretics" were burned to death and persecuted in the name of Orthodoxy at every turn. Christianity has also been introduced to China four times, and it has existed in the Tang Dynasty, and it has also received the support and help of the monarch. Why are you still struggling to this day? I feel that in addition to bemoaning others’ unwillingness to know the Lord, the church and Christians should also seriously reflect on themselves. Have I accidentally become a Farise? Be a slave to the rules and forms, and forget that the greatest instruction the Lord has given us is to be humble and gentle, and to love your neighbor as yourself? It's easy to scold others for breaking the rules, but it's hard to keep to yourself is the love that endures and never fails.
One more thing to say about the movie. The sequel ruined the image of Kerry's ex-boyfriend Yi Deng as a good man. Instead, it subverted Mr.big into a good otaku at home, dizzy. The screenwriter really turned his hands for the clouds and covered his hands for the rain.
Although the years are not forgiving, the four beauties are really old and terrible on the big screen. However, still applauded, this never-ending urban legend.
