Sex and the City

Long wait. Well, long week actually. Since MM was sick for a long time, we did not watch this movie until last Saturday. It was the second weekend, we went to the matinee, which in Taiwan means the very first show in the morning, normally at 10am or 11am, and it was very busy. We were surprised to see such a crowd in the early morning, and of course, most of the audience are girls.

The story started out very fast. Some of the conversation did not appear very natural for me though. I feel the conversation is there just to make the movie look happy and does not exist in real. After Big chickened out of the wedding, the story goes into a slower tempo, and then I start to feel the cohesion among the girls.

Samantha appears to be the most attractive woman of them all. The way that she was there for Jerry, and the way she realized she wants to love herself more, and the way she decides to leave to be herself, are inspiring. She is giving, confident, and knows exactly what she wants and she pursues. Miranda is a bit over reacting in my opinion. Not that I am a chauvinist pig, I'd say the same thing to a man. Charlotte, she is happy, too happy. I guess that's why she needs to have that hilarious accident.

About the guys, Steve outshines the others, at least he is brave to be honest to tell Miranda the one night stand. Most men will opt for hiding and repeating. Big is an asshole to run away. If he does not give any opinion or objection when Carrie plans all the wedding, he should just get his ass to the library to say his vow, as simple as that. Jerry is more attractive to me after all these years, but MM has the opposite opinion. I always think Harry is the best man and husband in Sex and the City, but maybe being good does not give enough conflict in the movie, he does not stand out at all. And his pink tie is so wrong against his pale skin and bald head.

Glad to know the latest news about the girls. They should have done the same thing to Golden Girls.
