Although it is undeniable, both from the perspective of the screenwriter and the message conveyed, "Sex and the City 2" has some weaknesses. This story is basically about four women in their 50s looking forward to solving the middle-aged crisis through an exotic trip, but they have to return to reality and find a way to compromise with reality, or to deceive themselves, to "use their own way" Maintain tradition (of married life)". From a female perspective, the message conveyed by the film has no revolutionary meaning. A woman with feminist pride and successful career will eventually return to the tradition of marriage. Carrie still has to accept the mediocre married life of watching TV in the bedroom with Big. , Charlotte wants to continue to be the mother of her crying child. The storyline also has a lot of absurdities that cannot withstand scrutiny. For example, Samantha was arrested for kissing in public in the Arab world, and was besieged by Arab men who accidentally spilled condoms in public places and so on.
But all this can be forgiven. Because, originally, this is a fancier that aims to satisfy women's desires and fantasies and free them from daily life temporarily. In fact, "liberation" is the theme throughout the movie. More than an hour ago, the movie was laying out the midlife crisis that made the girls unable to extricate themselves. Charlotte was troubled by the noise of children and the young and sexy babysitter. Miranda was vacillating between career and family. Carrie found out that she was in the life of Big. Without sparks, Samantha tried to maintain her youthful vitality by eating vitamins and hormones. The lice on these gorgeous robes of life are something that every girl will encounter, or worry that it will happen to them. Especially for those girls who love to work and have unlimited expectations for themselves and their lives. There are too many details to make the girls smile. When Charlotte's daughter printed her red jam-stained hands on her vintage white dress, she finally collapsed and hid in the storage room and cried; Carrie was disappointed that Big's anniversary gift was a TV set instead of jewelry... these liveliness The details accurately hit the worries hidden in the hearts of the girls. The hour in between took the girls away from the troubles of these life that fell to the dust, and realized all their dreams in the Middle Eastern luxury of Abu Dhabi (actually filmed in Morocco): Chinese clothes, handsome men, dinners, Exotic...
Don't try to criticize women's desires for being subtle and "insignificant." At least, first of all, the girls are honest enough to express everything, just like any man of any age will treat himself with the gaze of the beauty who is passing by. Don't belittle women's wisdom, morals, or anything just because of these desires. Just like the elite who love food or the elite, women's dreams of even the clothes, shoes, hats and jewelry do not hinder their wisdom, spirituality, and career development. If men think that "heroes are sad for the beauty pass" is an incomprehension of most men, then it is equally unrealistic to think that satisfying women's desires can control everything about them. Here, please shut up the men who belittle women because of their desires.
In fact, there is no need to worry that movies will "danger" young people. In fact, the ending of the movie is very "environmentally friendly" and "no pollution". The girls have experienced temporary relaxation, and they have all returned to the track of their original life. It is also self-hypnotizing that the life on the ground can actually be made interesting through your own small ideas, or you can "be yourself" while taking on family and career responsibilities. This ending is slightly disappointing. The nearly three-hour movie tells how the girls derailed from their daily lives and were sloppy. The four people sang the feminine manifesto "I am woman" in Arab karaoke, but in the end they returned to women being dominated by society. Expected role. However, as a popular movie, this is also an inevitable ending. It is also the ending for most girls. The two-and-a-half-hour movie is nothing more than a dream, but its gorgeousness is impeccable. Even the gay wedding scene at the beginning of the movie is comparable to a classic Hollywood musical like "Top Hat". The four girls are still at the forefront of fashion. Their beautiful clothes spanned from the flapper outfits of the 1920s to the mini-dresses of the 1950s, and to the present day, spanning the Arabian robes, geographically speaking, Cleopatra hair accessories, Greek little Tunic, and Western world dresses. With the visual enjoyment brought by these clothes, I will forgive the flaws of the movie itself.
Girls like stuff! That's it!
