The consumer desire of the palette

Watched two movies in one go. One is "Sex and the City" and the other is "Chanel's Secret Love Story", both about the emotional experience of middle-aged women. Frankly speaking, although "Chanel's Secret Love Story" was a bit blocked, it was far more reasonable than "Sex and the City". Perhaps it is because I have entered middle age, so the mentality of watching movies is different from that of many people after all.

In "Sex and the City", the four color palettes change every half minute, each of which is gorgeous and dazzling. Like little girls, they walked side by side in catwalks on the street, winking at passers-by, scratching their heads and making gestures, and what's more, they simply pretended to be feminist to sexually provocate the onlookers, using the so-called "disobedience to the old". politically correct mentality to provoke the consumption desire of middle-aged women in this age group. Indeed, this group of people has more spending power than little girls. Telling them some outrageous love stories may make this group of battle-hardened consumers who will never suffer a loss suddenly lose their senses and let go of their hands and spend money indiscriminately. To stimulate domestic demand and revitalize the world economy. Probably, this is the original intention of the film.

Sex and the City, as its name suggests, is really about desires, and many, many desires...and they all have to be paid for. Like most commercials, it's a typical ad placement. It's disgusting to add to the plot for new cell phones and designer handbags. The gay wedding at the beginning is not so much a sponsorship for this vulnerable group as it is a deliberately designed gimmick for fashion, curiosity and audience voyeurism. Homosexuality has once again become an element of entertainment that is watched, watched, and has an exotic quality. If the playwrights really want to be gay, why isn't one of the four heroines a Lesbian? Isn't the 4:0 ratio too small for the gay-tolerant Manhattan area? The middle-aged women emphasized many times in the film rely on external factors such as sheep placenta, vitamin E, cosmetics, plastic surgery, clothing and other external factors to drive the sexiness not only does not give people a good feeling, but it makes people desperate. Semansa, who bumped into a shirt with a young girl, was obviously defeated, both in appearance and demeanor; Charlotte, who was worried that the sexy nanny robbed her husband, although it was a near miss, but only because the other party was gay and disdain It is only to compete with her; Carrey's fear of her husband's need for independent space and the calmness of the other party to deal with the same problem further emphasize the disparity of power between the two sides; Miranda, who seems to be a successful lawyer, can't find a balance between family and career, or else It is difficult to have the best of both worlds by resigning and quitting, or else re-entering the arena.

All in all, aside from the fashion show, the film is actually pretty conservative, underscoring once again that lustful middle-aged women are scary, helpless, and ridiculous. Semansa, whose tonic was confiscated by customs, screamed in desperation that she had lost her sexuality; Charlotte, a stay-at-home mom, used her close-up mobile phone ad to check her husband's whereabouts; Miranda was very empty without a job and didn't know what to do; Carey She was so frightened by her spiritual derailment that she finally relied on Mr.Big's sapphire diamond ring to gain peace.

On the other hand, "Chanel's Secret Love Story", although it is also frequently changed, it is very elegant, and never engages in basic behavior such as color bombs; Chanel's skirt length is also more appropriate and decent, rather than the "desire" in the film or super short such as Bunny girl, or play tricks; in terms of temperament, Chanel's restraint, independence, and calm accurately reflect the maturity and confidence that women of this age should have. After all, although "Sex and the City" has also arranged enviable jobs for its heroines, from their speech and manners, I can't see their confidence, but endless anxiety and panic.

Obviously, "Sex and the City" as a commercial will not show the connotation of women, because reading books is actually not very expensive, but very time-consuming. Middle-aged women with spending power must consume, and they must consume irrationally like little girls. Under this logic, their behavior has to be childish, and they have to dress like a stunner. They no longer compete with the next generation in wisdom and experience, but more lively than anyone else, my God, this It was a desperate contest: the innocent eyes that flickered on some of the ravaged faces were horrific.

Towards the end of the film, I can't help but laugh at the conservative Arab women taking off their robes and showing off the new New York show topless. It turns out that consumerism not only wants to encroach on all ages and genders, turn middle-aged women into witches, and turn young men into demons, but also spoil other people's clothing culture in the name of political correctness.

What a world!
