The Sex Was Good
I, like a million other faithful fans, couldn't wait another minute. The looming threat of sold out seats didn't stop me. I took part in the madness of it all. From watching the interviews leading up to this past Tuesday's New York premier, the red carpet event in New York at Radio City Music Hall and last night's release.
I saw and loved every girly, emotional, funny, cynical and perhaps predictable minute of Sex and The City.
What I find ironic is that the movie enforced or further caused me to explore some of my thoughts and feelings on marriage - which I summarized yesterday. Also, instead of only identifying with Carrie, as I had with the show, I saw a little bit of myself in all the "girls" this time, but more so in the new character played by Jennifer Hudson.
I saw my old numb self in Carrie as she feels jilted and back to square one with Big.
I saw my old bitter self in Miranda as she struggles with being over worked on all levels, in a rut and feeling disrespected by her husband.
I see my current self in Samantha as she finds herself having an internal battle of wondering where did the old Samantha go. She definitely feels as if she has lost herself behind a man.
I see my current self in Charlotte as she basically is being blessed with everything she could have ever want, but is terrified that something bad may happen because things are going so well.
I see my current self in Louise (Jennifer Hudson) as she has a new lease on life - via moving to New York - was broken hearted but is open to love and very optimistic!
Definitely, these ladies are a lot older on and off the screen. The writing and their acting reflected such in the movie. However, the movie still stayed true to form of the show with the growth and maturity that the ladies have done on and off the show in the past four years.
As for Jennifer Hudson, she was beautiful in this film. She just glowed. I really loved the hair! What I really want is the dress she wore on the "Pink" Carpet during the New York premier.
Note to self: got to look up the designer to check, crack a face and cry at the price.
What better way to spend a Friday evening with a few buds to laugh, cry and vent together.
A typical girls night out right? Just add in the good sex and you got yourself a good evening.
