When love suffers the seven-year itch

Skylar 2022-03-25 09:01:09

remember one thing. A friend works out of town, and his girlfriend, who has been in love with him for seven years, lives in two places all year round. Once on November 11, he told me that his girlfriend was coming to see him, and I was very happy for him, saying that it was great, you two have a good time together. He said it calmly and lightly. She used my laptop to watch movies and I lay in bed to read e-books. At that time, I was very puzzled, how can two people who love each other be so indifferent to each other. I saw Mr. Big in SATC2 just now, who used to be keen on cooperating in various high-level clubs in New York. Now he just wants to obediently lie on the sofa at home and watch black and white movies quietly. Suddenly, I feel that time can really erode unknowingly. Some things, not only youth, but also the passion of youth.
In SATC2, in addition to the obvious aging of the female protagonists, the characters' personalities have not changed much. Samantha is still charming and sultry Samantha with an open concept. Charlotte's ideal happy marriage is troubled by the cumbersomeness of taking care of children and the carelessness of babysitters. Suspicion is messed up, and it is beyond my expectation that Maranda, a workaholic who has always been prudent, can play so high in Abu Dhabi. The part of her flash speech also felt a little abrupt and the transition was unnatural.
At the beginning, Stanford's wedding felt very long, and it was not as good as the five minutes when Carrie tried on the wedding dress in SATC1. The next 30 or 40 minutes didn't have any bright spots. It wasn't until about an hour into the film that the four Carrie came to the exotic Abu Dhabi, and they felt that there was something remarkable. The variety of fashionable clothes is dizzying, the luxurious aristocratic hotels and the vast desert landscape are a feast for the eyes. I love the long purple dress that Carrie wore when she visited Middle Eastern Bazar, which made her encounter with Aiden a dreamlike color. In the desert, Richard Spirm drove an off-road vehicle at a speed, and dragged the waiter to help him convey the news of the postponement of the dinner meeting, "What's the sense of a boring business dinner when you have sand dunes and sunset?" kind of mature The charm instantly killed everyone. The scene of Carrie and Aiden having dinner was very warm, but also very helpless. Aiden, a tall, handsome, considerate and gentle man, Aiden who knew Carrie's uniqueness best, but because of one turning around, the two lost their lives.
There are so many memorable episodes that I can remember. I still feel that this drama is not very watchable as a movie, and many of the plots are too bland and can be called dispensable, but if it is condensed into a TV series, it is still very interesting. As a female movie, the screenwriter discusses women's midlife crisis from beginning to end, such as Samantha taking vitamins to slow down skin aging, Charlotte feeling the hardships of being a mother because of her family chores, and Carrie after marriage in a strange country The story of encountering ex-boyfriend Aiden and the uncontrollable kiss caused by it, etc.
When love or marriage encounters a seven-year itch, love slowly fades into family affection, and we who are no longer single encounter our ex-boyfriend again, how should we face it? Is it cruel to be a familiar stranger and never contact him again for the rest of his life? Or do you want to be commensurate with ordinary friends and keep a friendship where you can eat and walk together? If we are ordinary friends, how can we suppress the attraction that still exists between each other and forget the former intimacy? How should this degree be grasped? SATC2 pointedly pointed out the embarrassing problems commonly faced by female friends, but was unable to give effective advice in a high-profile manner. This also greatly weakens the ideological nature of SATC2.
However, there may be some good ways. The one week that Big mentioned in the play and Carrie's separation for two days is a good proposal. A small marriage is better than a new marriage. A proper separation will also create a sense of mystery and freshness between the two who have been in contact for a long time. Just imagine, if it is really a lifetime To be with each other every moment, looking down and not looking up, how boring it must be. Carrie's incomplete cheating also made her feel guilty, and this guilt and self-blame in turn made her cherish her marriage and relationship with Big. As a freelancer, Carrie, who is both emotional and rational, needs to read a lot of books, understand the latest trend information, keep in touch with new people, and live a life full of surprises and expectations. These are the source of her creation. Her inspiration and sparks are packed in her tiny apartment. And Big's steady and down-to-earth love for her gave her no worries. In Manhattan, when the lights were on, there was always a place where she could safely take off all the big-name dresses and expensive jewelry, wear a nightgown, and snuggle up in Big's spacious In the warm arms, I watched the classic romantic comedies in black and white movies sideways, and slowly fell asleep with the people I loved.
