So I finally watched the entire 6 seasons of Sex and the City. I now finally understand what all the hype’s about! Although I do think the series got rather too hopeful at the end. But hey, if you can’t even see hope on TV, how do you expect to find it in real life, right?
Like Carrie said in the final tribute, the 4 main characters all represent rather stereotypical women in reality. Yet I would say that perhaps any woman can see a little bit of every character in herself. Furthermore, perhaps there’s a little part of her that envies something in every character also? One might look down on Samantha’s promiscuity, but her confidence and openness is something that I admire her for. Charlotte may sound like a silly girl whose only goal in life is marriage, but honestly, every girl has that dream somewhere in the back of her mind. Miranda’s cynicism made me laugh countless times during the entire show, but deep down, she was so insecure about not being beautiful or have the perfect body. To be able to laugh about what you believe to be your shortcomings (although I thought Miranda was still very beautiful, especially her eyes) is a strong and difficult step towards facing them. And Carrie — since she wasn’t so stereotypical, she is the most difficult to decipher. What I love about Carrie, is her charm. She makes the people around her laugh, and comforts her friends when they are in trouble in her witty way. If you have such a friend, consider yourself very lucky.
As for the men. My favorite was actually Aiden. He’s the perfect example of the perfect guy you couldn’t love. But I was very relieved to see Carrie end up with Mr. Big, because I just felt that they belong together. In life, some people end up with the perfect guy that they happen to be in love with. Of course that’s the best way to go. Yet often people settle for the perfect guy, in love or not. They may end up even happier than the first couple. Then there are those who are a mismatch in everything but love. Can love conquer all?
Here’s my concluding thought on this whole love thing. Everyone writes their own romance novel. The greatest and most annoying thing is, you choose your characters, but not the storyline. So you never know how the story goes, but when you look back, it’ll always be an interesting one.
I think my favorite my part of the show, was the things that come out of these women’s mouths. And I guess I’m not the only one who enjoys them. >>> Sex and the City Quotes
