Sex and the City [2008]

Sex and the City is another movie shot after the serials broadcast on TV between 1998-2004. It is like a longer version of a normal episode, so it could have been broadcast on TV as four or five episodes.

When I think about it as the movie, the soundtrack in the beginning is a disappointment for me. It could be something better than that.

It is about four wonderful friends Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha Jones, Charlotte York Goldenblatt and Miranda Hobbes and their differing ideas on friendships and relationships.

In the movie, Mr. Big buys an apartment with very high ceiling - which is my favorite - and builds a huge closet - which is another favorite of mine - After Carrie and his friends attend an auction in which the jewels of a lady jilted after ten years' relationship are sold, Carrie puts forward the
subject of marriage. Then Mr. Big and she decide to marry in the kitchen while he is cooking as if it was a matter of business. Totally no romance! After that, Mr. Big and Carrie get prepared for
the wedding. Well, Carrie gets prepared mostly for the wedding in an old library - what a great
place to get married - In the end Mr. Big can't stand the pressure of marrying in a fabulous and
hyperbolic way of marrying and get out of the car to hold the bride's hand.

Before the probable wedding, Carrie reads a letter by Ludwig Van Beethoven to Mr. Big in bed,   
which I can't go on without including that marvelous letter below:

Good morning, on 7th July.
While still in bed my thoughts turn towards you my Immortal Beloved, now and then happy, then sad again, waiting whether fate might answer us - I can only live either wholly with you or not at all, yes I have resolved to stray about in the distance, until I can fly into your arms, and send my soul embraced by you into the realm of the Spirits - yes unfortunately it must be - you will compose yourself all the more since you know my faithfulness to you, never can another own my heart, never – never – O God why do I have to separate from someone whom I love so much, and yet my life in V[ienna] as it is now is a miserable life - Your love makes me at once most happy and most unhappy - at my age I would now need some conformity[,] regularity of my life – can this exist in our relationship? – Angel, I have just heard that the mail coach goes every day – and thus I must finish so that you may receive the letter immediately. – be patient – only through quiet contemplation of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together – Be calm; for only by calmly considering our lives can we achieve our purpose of living together.- be calm - love me - today - yesterday - What yearning with tears for you - you - you my life – my everything - farewell - oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your Beloved

L.

Forever thine
forever mine
forever us.

Isn't it beautiful?

After the no-wedding, Carrie falls in a huge depression, looks at the mirror in the Mexican resort which she arranges for the honeymoon and realizes how devastated she is. However, she isn't alone; she's got three perfect friends who will console her. In there, she asks the dramatic question of a person who is jilted: "Will I ever laugh again?" And she laughs when Charlotte "poughkeepsied" in her pants.

Yes, the movie and the serials are about sexuality, promiscuity and femininity. However, the movie is beyond them: pure friendship of four women. While they are celebrating Samantha's fifth birthday in the end of the movie, don't you think of your own friendships? Well, I do.
