Compared with the movie in 2008, in this movie two years later, the hairstyle has changed, the address has changed, the phone has changed, the job has changed, the boyfriend has changed, and even the husband has changed? Follow the four long-lost friends again, walk into the halls of love, marriage, friendship, and fashion again, give yourself an excuse to dress up carefully, step out of the rhythm with high heels, touch the passion with wine glasses, and show your brand with shiny brand names. Value, temporarily remove our thoughts from all the real troubles of men, children, kitchen, etc., and enjoy our own time to the fullest. And this sequel has undoubtedly played a role in making women cheer, lift their spirits, and give themselves a reason to be happy, and that's enough. At the beginning of "Sex and the City", the heroine Kerry conducted an experiment - in the relationship between men and women, can women be the same as men, not talking about feelings but only sex? When she was walking down the street with spring breeze, thinking she had a positive answer, she bumped into Mr. Big. Some people say that among the various "isms" that have been surging in the last century, the most superficial but the most influential is "materialism". Is this still suspicious? Material has profoundly changed our lives. The life and transformation of human beings in any era are centered on material progress. After the Industrial Revolution, the production of large machines brought more material, which required people to consume, and machines (such as washing machines and vacuum cleaners) freed people from heavy labor and daily chores, and had more time to Consumption. As a result, our life has become what it is now: going to work on time every day, public entertainment facilities after get off work, and, more importantly, material enjoyment is no longer exclusive to a few aristocrats. No matter how many people criticize the "essence" of modern life for pinning people on the production line and streamlined consumption, no matter how many people worry about the lack of spiritual development in the process of material pursuit, and no matter how many people criticize the "essence" brought about by material consumption Democracy", which consumes the same product regardless of class - is illusory and paralyzing, but at least material is kind to women, and it has everything to do with women's emancipation. First, the material revolution brought about the liberation of female desires: aesthetic desires, physical desires. It is difficult to say whether there are women's products or women's solutions. But at least women's products: clothing, cosmetics, dolls, etc., have contributed to women's bold pursuit of their own good. At the very least, the dazzling array of merchandise, from massage oils to birth control pills to shapewear, will help women feel less ashamed about their bodies and desires. In fact, fashion is an unreasonable force that breaks down all kinds of hierarchies and boundaries. In the mid-19th century, lipstick was still a symbol of prostitutes in France. In China in the late Qing Dynasty, dress was still a magic weapon for Mr. Red Card Shuyu to attract customers. Who would have thought that in the next ten or twenty years, these taboos would become Fashion makes women obsessed and men admire it. Classes and national boundaries that are difficult to get through are easily crossed by material things. Women who pursue material things must first have an economic foundation. There is no doubt about this, and generally speaking, it is not enough to rely on men's support. Since the first half of the last century, more and more women have gone out of their homes and into the workplace, even if their original intention is to seek independence and liberation, a lipstick, a pair of leather shoes, and a bottle of cold cream are all the little things they give themselves. Reward, happiness that can be fully enjoyed only after financial independence. What's more, the fashion industry was originally created because of the war, when men went to the battlefield and women replaced their jobs in society, they had higher consumption power than before, and then operated. When the flow of light turned to "Sex and the City 2", women could already fully As a woman's happiness, boldly pursue the satisfaction of material, physical and spiritual desires. The four women in the film have everything modern life promises women: a respected career, money, fashion, love and sex, and gender equality in pursuit of love and sex, in a word: domination of the self. In the process of pursuing oneself, the opposite sex, age, and social norms are all obstacles, but not absolute obstacles. What women have to do is to try their best to hurdle. The scene of Samantha's breakfast plate full of vitamins and hormone pills is certainly the best illustration of consumerism: "Female product companies, through previous advertisements or other indirect advertisements, such as women's shows, terrorize women about the problems that will arise in their lives, and then timely Provide solutions - consumer products", but on the other hand, the courage and perseverance of not giving up self-seeking is quite commendable. Didn't Ji Xiaolan say that women should die when they are 30, before they die, women in the consumption age will also get old, but they will not admit defeat. In recent years, even feminist critics have begun to gradually change the direction of their comments on "fashion" and women's clothing. They no longer think that women's clothing is for their own sake, a standard that is imprisoned by male society, but more , is the display of the female posture. I don't think a lot of guys can understand Carrie's tutu, Dior T-shirt and denim jacket. Yuppie spirit. In the Arab world, Samantha has no men to seduce, but has always been unable to bear to obey Islamic stereotypes and cover up his body, which can better illustrate the relationship between women's clothing and women themselves. "Beauty needs to be displayed", this is the golden rule of living and living popularized by the fashion industry. This rule with a clear business purpose makes women full of confidence and pride in their beauty. In order to strengthen the proof of the effectiveness of material culture, "Sex and the City 2" deliberately set the scene in Arabia, a place where Western materialism has not yet fully assimilated. While the repression of the female body and sexual taboos are everywhere under the control of the men—where girls still have to be veiled and swimsuits with sleeves and pant legs—the women embrace privately. Western material culture. When the condoms in Samantha's purse were dropped in public at the bazaar and men besieged and tracked them, several veiled Arab women led the four Americans to flee the scene, hiding them in their own women's venue. When they removed their black robes and veils, there was a complete New York dress hidden inside, and To illustrate that this material influence goes beyond fashion and reaches women's re-cognition of their own bodies, the film hilariously asks Arab women to take out the American bestseller Samantha is reading about the female body. I guess a lot of people, especially Middle Eastern intellectuals, will hate this plot and the Western world's attempts to break down their cultural barriers and spiritual boundaries through material culture and "vulnerable women". But I have to regret to say that the power of this Western material culture has penetrated into many mysterious virgin lands in the East. Abu Dhabi, this is a place that I have never been to and yearn for. The shopping malls here are the same as those in any metropolis in the world. The elevators, skyscrapers, and the counters are filled with cosmetics from the West. People are stunned, but the girls are still rushing. There were girls doing fashion shows on TV, and they were the most visible stars in the country, beautiful, rich, and new-minded. Men, by contrast, are still insisting that women shouldn't go out of the house and take off their headscarves, which is detrimental to their male dignity. However, can the liberation of women accompanied by material consumption be imprisoned? I very much doubt this. If the struggle for power opens the door to men's desire, followed by war and control of the world, then material consumption opens the door to women's desire, and what follows?
In this movie, Samantha takes everyone to Abu Dhabi on a trip. Samantha treats every man as a stopover, with the feeling of pure enjoyment of this event. Her declaration is "I have always been a slave to the passion in my heart, But never been a man's slave." In the movie version, in order to release her desire, she dumped her star boyfriend before her 50th birthday. But most of us are not like this. We still roam the city of desire with the ideal of love, and have seen various types of men, but we still can't let go of the one we love the most. This American drama has a great influence on many Chinese girls, and many people's ideas have undergone earth-shaking changes because of them. In this era of fast food, the relationship between men and women has become unprecedented fast food. For some people, "love" is actually the scientific name for finding someone to have sex. Young people love to play and want to play too much, so they no longer believe in love. It is easy to give you sex, but It is too hard to give you love...I can kiss you, but I won't stay with you. We can't blame the young for this. The Gadfly said, "What's the use of an oath? Only if you have an understanding of a certain thing will it constrain you. If you don't understand it, nothing can constrain you." Don't you want it or don't want it? There should be a principle, there will always be a bottom line and a standard, but when we don’t know much about ourselves and the world, it seems that only by constantly trying and “wanting” can we know what “don’t”, because we know what’s going on Now, not at this time, is willing and powerful. So don't blame young people for trying, it's their way of touching and getting to know themselves. The world will not change, but people can change. Only by standing at the present point can we measure something in the past, whether someone should want it or not, and the future has the same meaning for the present. So, nothing is absolute, everything is changing, we have to admit that. Women have a growth process. When we bid farewell to innocence and enter the adult world, we will find that there is another world between men and women, that is desire. And when we have experienced a lot, we are completely discouraged about love, and find that sometimes desire is the purest thing, not mixed with other ingredients, just pure opposites attract, loyal to our own feelings. This world is so unreliable, if love is fake and the body is real, then let the truth be true, seek balance and equivalence, since they really only love themselves. You can also develop him into a product, which is unparalleled. To be a woman in the new era, we must achieve this win-win situation. I insist on pursuing real desires because I believe my desires are real. Someone once said something like this - "Chinese women can only be truly liberated and independent when they let go of themselves, and don't always feel violated. Men and women are all human beings, and they are all equal. Whoever plays with whoever is human has needs, love needs, physical needs, emotional needs. However, the traditional concepts that have been deeply rooted for thousands of years and the conservative genes flowing in their blood determine that they can never be completely open-minded. Open, this is the reason for entanglement and pain. Therefore, if you want to live a pure and happy life, just be thorough. Whether it is completely traditional or completely open, don’t take the middle road, that will only make you unhappy.” It must be a man who said this. For the vast majority of girls, if a woman doesn't like a man, she won't have a relationship with him, but because she likes it, she can't be as "pure" as a man. Women are always emotional animals, just like Wang Jiazhi finally let go of Mr. Yi, not because of love. However, maybe many men are not like this. They can separate the upper body from the lower body. Zhenbao in "Red Rose and White Rose" said to his old lover-: Who else can I meet, it's just a man. Is love, or from you to understand. Although I suffered a little bit, it was always good, and there were other people I met. How many people can do this kind of thoroughness? Can you endure the desolation without love? That desolation is more sad than a person's loneliness, it will make your heart extremely cold. Baby Anne Says - What Does Skin-to-Skin Bring? Without love, just brief warm hallucinations and darker disillusionment. A relationship without emotion will make people feel cold all over, just like a person holding a lot of firewood by his side, but there is no flame in his heart, which cannot be ignited, and he is still cold. This feeling of despair will plunge you into the deepest abyss, a darkness without end. There will always be someone who appreciates your body and truly cares about your soul. Maturity may sometimes mean being able to control one's own desires, and a person's success or failure sometimes lies in making the right choice at the critical moment, and there may be losses at that time, but for those who cannot love, what is there to lose? pity? Let our lives and futures not be ruined by one wrong impulse. Of course, if you take it so openly that you feel like you don't care, that's also an option. Whether it is completely conservative or completely open, they are all women warriors who will never give up, one needs solid feelings, and the other needs solid desire. The encounters of life are actually meaningful, desires are eroded, actions are bound to be blocked, there is no way out, there is only fantasy, fantasy, this deadly thing. Milan Kundera famously said in "The Unbearable Lightness of Life", I replaced the object and told my sisters - having sex with a man and sleeping with a man are two completely different, even almost opposite feelings. Love is manifested not by the desire to have sex (which can be the desire for countless men), but by the desire to sleep with him (which can only be the desire of one man). The greatest benefit of time is that it allows us to know our true self. In the face of love, desire is not worth mentioning, but it is also worthy of respect, because it is the gift of life.

The Legend of Agelessness Although the actors and characters are getting older again, the whole film does not feel old from head to toe. Just like the review of the "models" of the four protagonists 20 years ago at the beginning, basically no one will think that the four protagonists are now four. Fifty-year-olds were inferior to their "twenties" at the time. Although years are merciless, women's inner cultivation, temperament, and taste for fashion also increase with age. Don't underestimate the magic of clothing and cosmetics. They can dilute age and make women of any age attractive. In the whole film, whether it is on the streets of New York, in the deserts of the Middle East, or in a karaoke dance hall, the four women are decorated with famous brand clothes, and wherever they go, they are the most eye-catching scenery. "shining".
The charm of a woman cannot be defined by age, and women of every age can wear clothes with their own unique feeling. Even the director deliberately made a fuss about their age, letting 52-year-old Samantha and Miley Cyrus, who was less than 20 years old, wear a dress, but to be honest, the silver sequin dress was almost different for the two, and Samantha did not lose at all. Miley. In fact, people are not afraid of getting old, but they are afraid that they will lose their positive attitude and vitality in life because of old age. Samantha is still used to being brave and never bowing to the world. Sometimes she thinks her little stubbornness is cute. One of the great things about this film is that it can help women of all ages regain their confidence. Sex and the City never wanted to defy the natural laws of human development, but honestly and unabashedly let the protagonists face the troubles caused by "aging". Women's "World Cup" And we, the audience, have grown up and matured with everything in the film, but the love of beauty and the firmness of love have not changed at all. They have entered their 50s in the movie, from four single women who are looking for true love to mature women who realize marriage. Men are no different from women, we can think like men, we can work like men, we can fuck like men , and instead, they are just women with balls (and dicks, of course). A multifaceted exploration of marriage Carrie has spent the past 20 years searching for love, using three books and finally writing her own Happy Ever After. This phrase equates to marriage, but not to end. So what's happened after saying "I Do"? Marriage is by no means the end, nor does it guarantee a happy ending, but the beginning of another life. Marriage does not mean that the task is completed, but more new problems will arise that need to be faced and resolved. As before, this time Carrie and her friends talk about a lot of the problems "women in marriage" often have, or a full-scale display of a woman's midlife crisis: Trust and sense of security In fact, no matter what age, married or not, most women are insecure, but the older they get, the more obvious this anxiety becomes. Men are actually the same, but they cover up better and have more control over their emotions. After discussing the topic of cheating on Miranda in the last episode, Charlotte is also facing threats from a sexy nurse at home without a bra. Carrie and Mr Big also have to face some external interference. Apart from the brief flirtation between the beauties who starred in Xiao Panpan and Big, the reappearance of Aiden aroused some waves in Carrie's heart. Although I admit that Carrie is more suitable for Big, this does not prevent me from admiring Aiden's type of man. This time, he and Carrie reunited in the Middle East market scene: in the crowd in a foreign country, still handsome and tall, Aiden, who was smiling in love, picked up Carrie, who was petite and wearing a princess dress, and held it up in the air to circle around. It seems like the moment when the princess meets the prince in a fairy tale. Even if it is unrealistic, it is inevitable that women including Carrie will be elated. I always feel that Carrie is really treated like a princess only in front of Aidan, and Big is actually the king who controls Carrie and is not really that kind to her. Distance is a test of affection. A trip to the Middle East caused both Carrie and Charlotte to have a crisis of confidence, but at the same time, there are also Indian couples who have only met once in two months and are still in a good relationship; what is the promise and responsibility? What role does it play in marriage? Carrie's gay friends can actually allow each other to "derail" when they get married, which seems to be unacceptable in the world; she herself is on the verge of cheating, and she is hesitant about whether to choose honesty or concealment. How important is the integrity of the marriage? How to grasp the scale of loyalty and trust after marriage? Everyone has different values and may have different answers. If consensus is not reached, it is often the starting point of marriage breakdown. I am not afraid of being stingy and sensitive, but I am afraid that the other party will not accept this, so it is the correct solution to find the most suitable values. I am also very insecure and often have difficulty trusting others, so I have absolutely no qualifications to advise others on this issue. I know that trust and tolerance are hard to achieve, but they are also virtues. I can only be strict with myself and at the same time hope that my future partner can be a responsible and sincere person, because in my opinion cheating is more terrible and difficult to accept than cheating. Conflict between self and family. Marriage is about sacrifice and dedication, but our protagonists are all new-age women who are pursuing themselves and advocating independence, but they also have to face the contradiction between themselves and their families, and they have to learn to make concessions for the sake of love. Carrie's independent and rebellious personality makes her unwilling to choose to be a mother or go to the kitchen. She was once too wild and couldn't get used to the married life of "only two people are bored at home", and the equally assertive Big can almost never be controlled by her , often forcing her to constantly compromise on herself; Miranda is also independent, always relying on the help of the housekeeper, unable to play a good full-time mother like a traditional mother, and does not know how to balance work and family; Charlotte originally wanted to be a mother the most , but it is not easy to become a mother of two daughters and raise children. She was coddled like a princess, and she couldn't stand the crying of the children, even close to madness. Of course, in reality, women have to face more cruelty than them, and it is inevitable that they cannot live as relaxed and unrestrained as the four women in the film. But their pursuit of self-worth and the spirit of self-happiness is worth learning for every woman, how to maintain herself while sacrificing for her family. To be honest, although Carrie is always considered to be different, in fact, from the show to the present, she has been the one who has "compromised" the most, constantly being forced to give in by Big. Carrie has also mentioned many times that in a relationship, how much should you compromise for the other party and how much you should tolerate to be appropriate, so as not to lose yourself, and not to force the other party away? Maybe everyone's situation is different. All I can say is that she was eaten to death by a man like this, and she kept giving in to her bottom line. Sometimes we overestimate our tolerance and make temporary concessions for the ones we love, but in the end we can't get through the burning self-awareness inside, and when I'm no longer me, so am I. It's impossible to be happy any more, and what's the value of a "lover" who has made such compromises? Maybe it's the one who loves less, who will always hurt less. Constantly looking for new passions for marriage "spark" and "passion" are words that are often mentioned in this film. Many marriages die because love is replaced by the ordinary life of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and people gradually lose their love for each other in the habit. Passion, marriage no longer sparks, slowly extinguished. A brief separation, taking part in some activities together, and coming up with new ideas to spark a passion for each other can help some couples or couples rediscover the freshness of their relationship. Carrie has been trying to add highlights to her and Big's life, but in the end, she found that the best way is to not care too much, relax and enjoy life, and no one is forcing others. Instead, the relationship naturally maintains a flowing vitality. New York and the rest of the world except New York. Choosing the United Arab Emirates as the background for most of the film is not as simple as making a joke. The intention of the director is very obvious. In recent years, the United States has been shaping the Middle East into a crazy "terror zone", and most of the films shot there are anti-terrorist war films, which are daunting. But this time it was a brainwashing. With the four female wolves, we found out that this place is far from being described as bad. The third world in the desert can also be as beautiful as heaven. As long as you have money, you can still enjoy luxury. Royal treatment. I'm sure the female viewers will be drooling over the hotel, the food and the macho guy driving the jeep across the desert. The film is represented by Mirranda, telling people that they should learn to respect, understand and accept different cultures, and seek common ground while reserving differences. In addition, there are also small stall owners who are not ignorant of gold and friendly hotel waiters, so that American audiences can also let go of their prejudices, re-examine them in a relaxed tone, and objectively accept this place that has always been described as hostile. Moreover, the use of this exotic style has indeed helped several heroines to temporarily escape the contradictions and troubles they have fallen into in New York, relax their minds, calm down and think and settle down, and have the opportunity to take a break from the unchanging busy life, take a breath, and then change. Take a good look at and cherish everything around you. The purpose is to tell people that sometimes when things are messed up, seeking a quick solution is not necessarily a good solution, and often needs to leave and re-examine to make sense. No matter how good New York is, there will always be times when it is stressful and annoying. I find that living in the same life all the time may be self-paralyzing, but it does not mean health. Sometimes women should change their minds and leave work, men and Children, enjoy life to the fullest and love yourself to the fullest, we deserve it! Finally, it must be emphasized that irony and witty humor are still the biggest features of this film. The biggest difference between this film and male adult comedies is that humor is not conveyed through swear words, excessive action or grandstanding, but through language, especially Samantha, a mouth will shock the world, Michael Patrick King's usual sense of humor is perfect again It reflects that many of the lines are concise and classic, and it takes a lot of reading to memorize them. If it is a mistake, it may be that some places are overplayed, such as four girls singing karaoke and Samantha being blocked on the street, which makes people feel a little hysterical. But the film is like a woman, beautiful, attractive, but occasionally Emotional, sometimes excessive, but normal. Sex and the City has never been just a movie, but a reason for women to fantasize and love themselves, a festival for women, even if it is a little unrealistic and a little whimsical, so what? There is nothing more important than making yourself happy! And Sex and the City, no matter when you watch it, what age people watch it, as long as you are a woman, it can always make you forget your troubles, regain your spirits, and be proud of being a woman! Even if the world is still dominated by men most of the time, even if women are often excluded and hurt in life or work, even if they are often hurt emotionally by men they love, Sex and the City has made women discover that women are not only good at showing beauty. Absolute advantage, more in being able to love, daring to love, and being loved on an equal footing with men. Like a stimulant, it can always make women feel the beauty of being a woman after watching it, dispel all kinds of depression, and instantly make women full of vitality, self-confidence and energy. It makes you feel good to be a woman .
Again, the interlude is pretty good.
Samantha's laughs are too many:
1. The handsome guy asked, is your schedule available tomorrow night? Sam said, I am OPEN...and started sucking that big pipe. .
2. The servant is called Paula, but his real name is Adu. .
3. Learned a bed-calling language, that is, say Yes in Abdobi language! !
4. It's official, Estrogen (estrogen) has left the building.. I heard that there is estrogen in yam, so I ate it, but it didn't work.
5. I go to baby shows for you, you go to Abu Dhabi for me
6, We made a deal ages ago, man baby, doesn't matter, we are soul mates (this is not a joke, it's a classic)
7, charlette looked at sam and asked how are you gonna swallow those??? sam:have we met??
8, sam is calling the bed loudly, Big next door asks Carrie, don't know if Sam is noisy or the baby next door is crying, Carrie said, sam, because baby will tire eventually
