Not about desire, about fashion

It's a four-star fashion film, a three-star commercial, and a two-star romance. Remove one of the highest points, remove one of the lowest points, and the final score - three stars.

According to the fashion film, the speed of the four women changing clothes can be calculated in minutes. I was dazzled and dazzled by gold stars. Just by riding a camel in the desert, each person changed three sets. Although there are many clothes, they do not lose the standard. The four maintain their consistent personality and taste, Kelly's petite avant-garde, Charlotte's dignified elegance, Samantha's sexy charm and Miranda's capable and neutral. Fashion is not only a trend, but also a means of expressing self-confidence and pursuing beauty. However, while I am sighing at the level of development of the modern fashion industry, I have to doubt the degree of exaggeration of this film. If a woman loves beauty so much that she wears floor-length dresses and high heels while watching TV at home, or an expensive snow-white antique dress while making cakes with her children, this kind of love becomes paranoia and life loses its casual pleasures .

Advertisements in videos are everywhere, all the time. If I watch the movie alone, I can't appreciate it yet. All I see on the screen is a perfume bottle, another perfume bottle, a purse, and another purse. Thanks to Zhu Zhu, a fashionista sitting next to him, he commented from time to time: this is Chanel, that is Prada, that is Hermès... From New York to the Middle East, hotels to deserts, they are all turned into product showcases for major luxury brands. Students who love brands can feast their eyes. I believe that the major brands have made all their efforts this time, hoping to use the influence of "Sex and the City 2" to recover the losses in the economic crisis in the past two years.

I don't know if it's because the colorful fashion products are too eye-catching, or because the screenwriter's level is limited, the plot of the movie is really disappointing. The plot is loose and lacks suspense. The four women each have their own hard-to-read scriptures. Samantha is worried about the hormonal imbalance of menopause, Charlotte has enough energy to bring her children, Miranda has a bad relationship with her boss, and Kelly worries that her marriage with Mr. Big will become dull. Made me think for a while that I was watching the movie version of Desperate Housewives. But "Desperate Housewives" has a theme for every episode at least, and I didn't see the theme until the last half hour of "Sex and the City 2" which was two and a half hours long (if the problem of one of the four people can barely be called subject), is cheating. Kelly met her ex-boyfriend at the spice market in Abu Dhabi, had a meal, chatted for a while, and kissed before breaking up. For people like me who haven't watched the whole TV series and don't understand the background, this derailment is inexplicable, and the emotional preparation and plot preparation are not available. Kelly took the initiative to confess his mistake to Mr. Da afterward, but it was commendable. It was to be expected that Mr. Da was in a bad mood and disappeared, but in the end he suddenly figured out how to forgive his wife. He didn't explain it at all, and he even rewarded him with a diamond ring! I have always felt that the character of Mr. Da is not well-built and perfect to the point of falsehood. His hair is never messy, his suit is always neat and clean, his mouth is always smiling like a lover, his work will never be affected by the environment, and his body will never be tortured by illness. The only downside is watching a little more TV time, does that cause Kelly's derailment? It's really going to rain, my mother is going to cheat, I can't stop it!

In short, if it weren't for the endless fashion shows, I couldn't have stayed in the theater for two and a half hours. Let's not mention the plot, just pick an episode from the more than 100 episodes of "Desperate Housewives" that is more exciting than it. SEX AND THE CITY, which is implicitly translated as "Sex and the City" in Chinese, has this desire changed from a desire for sex and love to a desire for fashion and luxury goods?
