Are they all old?

Finally finished watching Sex and the City II. Looking back now, the last two or three episodes of each season seem like trips, but I think most of the stories about leaving NY are a little bit out of the writer's mind. The whole movie went to the Middle East, fresh is fresh, but the feeling of incongruity is even worse.

Of course, no matter how the scene changes, the style and tone of the four will not change. Carrie still licks her lips from time to time, I understand it's her signature flirtation, the nuances of the movements, the eyes, the same as ever, and the faces that set the background for this timeless little movement have changed so much, the ravines Ah, the inexhaustible vicissitudes. Without this comparison, I can't recall that it has been more than ten years.

Eternal and unchanging reference objects are terrible. On the way of growing old, stay away from such reference objects. Remember remember.

The only thing I identify with is the scene where Samantha and a young star bump into shirts at the premiere. What a cruel scene, for someone who likes Samantha. Challenging one's biological age is certainly courageous, but somewhat pathetic. Hasn't age given you the courage to face yourself and accept yourself?

I have absolutely no idea about marriage. In the film, Carrie's book review said so, as the film review of this film, the same sentence. As a story of a group of people in their forties, if there is a lack of insight into marriage, isn't there something missing?

They seem to refuse to grow old. They chase fashion, show off their bodies, and find romantic encounters. They don't talk about children, and they can't say anything about marriage. But that doesn't keep you young forever. Old is old, and every fold on the face is not deceiving. But aging is not terrible, because aging will bring wisdom, experience, insights and so on. But having to stuff your 50-year-old body into a 20-year-old miniskirt is scary.

Of course, the miniskirt is an extreme example, and everyone does it. Nostalgia for youth, who can be exempted from the vulgarity? But it's a sad thing to be nostalgic, just like this movie made me feel. I like them so much, but this sequel makes me feel so sad. Probably because it is inevitably tied to "fashion", so it has to be.

    In the first episode, I feel that the heroine is still weird, but the content is still more reliable. In the second episode, my mind is full of "Why should I choose her? Why should I choose her? Why should I choose her???..."

    At the beginning of the year, I saw a commercial in Abu Dhabi. The Middle Eastern style is really charming, but the religion is a bit infiltrating.
