Sex and the City II [2010]


It is all about black&white.

It starts with a gay wedding. It is the first time I have ever seen an aesthetic, beautiful, romantic and black&white - I mean the decoration and the black&white movie at Carrie and John's bedroom - gay wedding. There are swans at the wedding as if ballet dancers would come from somewhere to perform The Swan Lake Ballet. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

At the wedding, the couple who don't understand why Carrie and John don't want to have children and get the biased face right away are utterly irritating. There are  a lot of these irritating  people around us. If you are a young woman and over 25, they push you to get married as soon as possible. When you get married, they push you to have children before you are 30. And the pressure continues on different matters according to your age and the phase of your life. In these moments, I want to scream " It is non of your business!" Would they hear me? I don't think so.

Carrie and John celebrate their second wedding anniversary with a delicious dinner and sipping red wine. Carrie's present for him is a watch by Rolex and John's present for her is TV in bedroom, which is a horrible idea. Carrie doesn't like it too because she doesn't want to be one of the couples who lie down and watch television and don't talk. If you are married, are you one of them? I hope you aren't and won't be.

One day, Carrie goes to her own apartment to work in peace. Although they are quite independent spouses with no children, she still needs that kind of privacy. Then John puts forward the idea of taking two days off to do what they want to in peace, which is a bit weird. I don't mean John's idea but do you have privacy in your marriage? Are you bored of each other? The need of privacy is inevitable for every individual. Well, if you say "It's isn't for me!", it must be. It could solve any probable problem which could arise in your marriage and life.

Abu Dhabi part of the movie smells nothing but luxury. These women don't stop wearing high heels even if they are in the middle of the desert.
