Sex and the City! Finally the time has arrived and the genius that is Sex and the City is on our big screens. Our Miss Bradshaw is back and we love her even more this time around. I relate to her because she is a writer a freelance writer who worked her way to the top with four books published and several newspaper and magazine columns she is successful and beautiful in a somewhat unconventional way but she still faces the troubles that all women face and that is the problem of that four letter word that means so much, that has been misunderstood throughout the years through generations and generations. That four letter word is LOVE.
The whole film is centered around that word and what it means to each character. The movie is like the series on steroids and it is every womans dream from start to finish. They all face the trials and tribulations of loving and losing and or just loving and being loved but in the end they all come out fine. We see Carrie's MR. Big return, he is back in her life and she has never been happier it seems. The four ladies are four years older and seem wiser and more stylish then they ever have been. They seem to have acquired what they were aspiring for in the series, success and love. Miranda is still married with a child and still working hard as an attorney, Samantha is still going strong with her toyboy actor and living in Hollywood. Charlotte and her husband have adopted a beautiful Chinese orphan, and our Miss Braashaw is apartment hunting with her knight in shining armour MR. Big.
The film is like a roller coaster with it's highs and lows and wonderful fashion, it stays true to the mantra of “Guts and Glamour” and we see Miranda and Carrie still rocking their Manolo's through heartbreak and disappointment, it proves to us that nothing in life is ever perfect but things always seem to work out in the end if we believe in the power of love and forgiveness. I would say it actually gives you a lesson in life just like every episode would end with a message the film ended with a message that love can pretty much conquer all if you believe in it and you work at it. We saw Carrie actually listen to her own advice and see something in herself that needed to change and she did that for the sake of love. The movie is perfection, there is no other word for it.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
