Both taken in New York, Sex And the City is quite different from Friends in style but same in happy endings.
I'm so happy about the happy ending. After all the hope, effort, doubt, despair, and re-try, the four of them have all found what they want or deserve in their lives.
There was a classical scene that when Carrie stood in the street in Paris, Big's car just passed her and missed. It happens all the time in TV shows, twisting others' feelings and good wishes, while I was wondering how often it happens in real life. Sometimes we are just much too engaged in our sorrow or disappointment, low our head, and forget to notice what happens around. As a result, we might miss a good chance, while on the other hand, it makes the ending weigh more.
Miranda and Steve went back again, which seems really unbelievable. I know it happens sometimes, but what concerns me is that I hope it'll never happen to my man. Steve makes a good family man. Their living in that big house may not be perfection all the time, but they've got their way to stay in harmony and express love in the married life.
Charlotte and Harry are dramatic, just like Charlotte. They've been through things that sound odd for me, like changing the religion, going back again after a break, having a not perfect wedding, trying again and again for a baby; raising a dog and its children, and finally managing to adopt a kid from China. It was difficult, but they kept trying.
Speaking of difficulty, it's never absent from any relationship, or say, pursuit of love. So is support and commitment.
I was wondering how much Samantha and Smith are in love with each other and I underestimated. She is a tough woman. But eventually it proves that Smith was not just a kid used to accepting Samentha's sponsorship, which turned him into a star. When a woman went into the elevator with an ex to "have some adult fun", in most cases, her boyfriend would get the f^ck out of there. When Samantha realized what she wanted was downstairs, Smith was right there waiting. What brings them back and together? He shaved his brand-making hair to make her feel better about hair-losing after the cancer treatment. They dyed their hair in same color and style. He sent her flowers when not around, promising a spring in sex for her, and flew back in the middle of night, just to say the three little but powerful words untold in the phone call. What makes him do all these and touches Samantha so much? The two are just incredibly amazing.
As for Carrie, I love her, adore her and care about her, but sometimes hate her for the braveness to be so stubbon and let go things that seem great to anyone. There was a period when I just find the story so boring and frustrating and doubtful, when there is nothing to say but just chaning boyfriends or sex partners or being critical about others' shortcomings or mistakes.
I still remember the scene when Carrie said she was not ready to marry Aiden. Why? What is she waiting for? What else is she looking for? Everything seems ready except the bride. And she kept saying how much she loved him but just couldn't marry him. Thus, Aiden got heart-broken, again. If he agreed to give her more time, not knowing how long, they might end up being together. But who would expect a guy like Aiden to have a third try on this girl? Just leave and move on. Dont get hurt again.
I'm playing John Corbett's song right now, and his song is so real and natural, just like Aiden and the person himself. The music is not a best-seller on Billboard, or it doesn't not belong to main-stream type of music. Nor does it need any big news to attract public attention. Aiden was a natural and true-to-life guy, who doesn't buy expensive label clothes, who seeks fun out of country working life, who reads at home rather than going to parties, and who is in pursuit of a plain natural but comfortable life. It's just there, natural and free. Aiden is a good guy, lovely and loveable. He's just not right for Carrie, a Manhatten girl, while Big is.
So happy for them when Big finally found Carrie in the hotel in Paris. Any woman would think Big is an asshole with what he did in six years, while any woman would wish them good, like I did since they met, after Big gets back with Carrie again. Nothing more could be said about Carrie and Big. After all, they're just meant to be.
In TV shows, it's never too late to realize what's right for you, get hold of it and run after it. We may not be so lucky in real life, but we do have a great many assholes in the world, who like to ask, get, f^ck off without realize how much hurt caused, who like to play and pause.
It's obvious that in a relationship, we need caring, sharing, supporting, forgiving, compromising and believing. That's how love works individuals into families. Those desperate-dating women achive this when they are around 40. When does it come to me?
