The movie starts off with a lavish gay wedding which may as well be the ONLY true part of the actual Sex and the City charisma. The movie as I perceive, killed Carrie's character and leaves something a bit incomplete about the real time drama.
Having relocated the set to the Middle East was not a very brilliant idea; firstly, it didn't keep in accordance with the theme of show - sex. Secondly, the point was to establish a healthy marriage between Carrie and Big with all the unorthodox ways and means they choose. This point could have just as easily been stated right there in New York - a city full of foreign working class in every nook and corner who are away from their wives trying to make a living.
Having said that, on the whole the movie was a sour disappointment except for the one highlight, the establishment of the fact that Dubai indeed is over and that Abu Dhabi is in fact the gateway to UAE.
Keeping in loyalty to my absolute guide throughout life, the show itself, I feel compelled to say something good about it - the clothes and accessories!
Still stunning and amazingly breathtaking... those women might have lost their way in the movie world but they will forever remain the fashion gurus of our time.
Haw. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was the right mix of SATC style OTT-ness (the craziness in the middle east) and realism. We all love Carrie but y'know she can be quite annoying, always has been. But then that's what makes her, all these weird nuances. Anyway point is, I thought the relationship between Big and her was portrayed as real-ly as they could have.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED every minute of it. Saw it twice in fact. Yes I'm biased, but I don't care :P
I loved the movie. Watched it twice and can do so again and again. What glamor and the clothes & accessories were breath taking
ReplyDeleteclothes and accessories i was all for... story line just didn't do it for me.
