Last night, my roommate and I had a lovely night out on the town with dinner and a movie!
Our movie of choice - Sex and the City 2.
I am a long time fan of SATC (hence the tribute via the blog title) and have thoroughtly enjoyed the show as well as the first movie. So I was super excited to see the sequal, especially with one of my closest girlfriends. (Random sidenote, there was a couple in the theatre and that is just not a couples movie, that is definitely a girlfriend movie.)
Anywho, I just wanted to share my thoughts on the movie!
In this movie Carrie is adjusting to the married life. Only two years into their marriage, (though they've been on and off for years) Carrie and Big are still adjusting to being together full time. And though Carrie loves Big, she longs for the single gal's life she once lavished in as she strutted down the streets of New York.
Carrie goes through several adventures in the movie, including meeting up with Aiden, (yummy!) and all of these things only remind her of how much she loves Big. She tries to revert back to her single ways to avoid being an old married couple that just sits in front of the television and orders take out. But in the end, Carrie realizes that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being comfortable and settled in a stable relationship. She had been chasing after the man of her dreams for years (nearly a decade) and just didn't really know how to act once she finally got him (like many of us do).
Carrie finally settles down into a slower paced, married life (all the while looking fabulous of course!) and in the mean time she has a blast with her three best friends. The moral of the story is appreciate what you have, find really good friends, and keep them around.
So some people say it wasn't as good as the first one, while others say it was better than the first. But in my personal opinion, it was neither better than nor worse than the first. I think that it was an appropriate sequal that continued on the story of four friends and the men they love.
Famous SATC Quotes
"Big-Which is worse?" Carrie-"Samantha, the baby will eventully get tired..."
"Maybe the best any of us can do is not quit, play the hand we’ve been dealt, and accessorize what we’ve got." — Carrie
"I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet." — Carrie
I loved the movie!!! Loved, loved, loved it! It symbolized in so many ways us as women. Not realizing what we have until we mess something up or almost in Carrie's case. Think about it, she ran after this man for 10 years, and is tripping about a couch and a red carpet event! A man that took you into an apartment and you hated the closet and he built one for you. A man that wants to spend the rest of his life with you watching old black and whites! "I've been dating since I was 15, I'm exhausted where is he!" - Charlotte I feel you sister!
ReplyDeleteYeah I really loved the movie too. I think another big takeaway from the movie was "Don't sweat the small stuff". She was really trippin on little things that didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. If he wanted to watch t.v. that should be fine. Truth be told, Big is gettin old! lol
