Hated how they did Jennifer Hudson’s character. With the rent the runway purse & implying she wanted to take Carrie’s shoes.

[@irinakl441]

Ok, I have to jump in and maybe correct you a little bit. The small wedding in the city hall was never Carrie's idea. It was Big's. Carrie was just so thrilled to finally get married, she was afraid to jinx it or to scare Big away. So she was like "Sure, I'll get married in the city hall! I'll get married in the subway if I have to!". Then, Anthony's remarks remind her she is a part of this wedding too. She has the right to enact some of her visions and dreams about the wedding. Big was just acting like a spoiled immature brat about this. Just use your f***ing words to express yourself to the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with! I felt like they are trying to make us be on Big's side by showing how hurt he was and how over the top and self centered she was. But nothing excuses what he did, sorry, can't see it. How could she ever forgive him at all, I would never understand. P.S. Miranda wasn't running with Charlitte, because of the long comute from the Bronx to Central Park. It's really not an option, when you have a family and a career. At best, she could run at her local park with the cute guy, but not travel to Manhattan every time.

And yet somehow, when Miranda visits Carrie's kitchen with Che, Steve is acting holier than the pope and is more offended about the infidelity then the fact that his wife is not interested in him anymore.

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

Steve confessing and it being once is why it’s easier to forgive. Carrie was caught and had long and emotional affair

[@mariablocker6186]

I disagree. I had a hard time forgiving both characters and still don’t feel there were sufficient consequences for both. I feel shows and movies go too easy on cheaters in general, but especially so when it’s either a fan-favorite (Steve) or a main character (Carrie). In my opinion, Miranda deserved better than Steve all along and show writers should have had her end up with Robert. Also, in the therapy session scene, Steve never even takes full responsibility for cheating either. It’s either bad writing or he sucks.

[@chaosspy6723]

3:05 no. she asked him and he said she can have whatever she wanted. Carrie is a horrible person but big agreed to whatever wedding she wanted.

[@besugarb4655]

NOPE, Mirandas friends wear all the way WRONG about how they came at her when she told them about Steve. AND the shaming Steve did on Miranda in the therapy room - Yeah, HELL NO. And i like Steve in the series. Miranda did NOT denay him from seeing theire son so shaming her for cutting him off YEAH, NOPE, Steve! And Carrie w that "It was a mistake to leave him" "Steve did that 6 months ago so its time to let it go" attitude. Try that energy on me and find out.

@@Paula-gp5bx Carrie WAS a shitty partner, she chose to cheat with Big over and over again while her relationship was actually great. Steve had a slipup when his needs were continuously not met and Miranda even closed herself off from talking about it.

[@Paula-gp5bx]

@@esikazemese Cheating is shit. It doesn’t matter how many times you did it or why. Steve didn’t tell Miranda how he was feeling either. He just took the easy way out and then expected her to forgive him because it was a "mistake," while everyone blamed her because she’s a tired mother with a full time job and doesn’t have all night to have sex with her stupid husband. So, I don’t buy it. Both Carrie and Steve made the same choice and deserve the same judgment

[@esikazemese]

@@Paula-gp5bx as I remember he did tell how he feels and he tried to connect with her sexually which Miranda shut him out completely and got sucked into motherhood. Yes, cheating is shit, but in some cases it's a cry for something that's missing in a relationship and people can move forward from it. Read Affair from Esther Perel if you are interested in the psychology of infidelity.

[@Paula-gp5bx]

@esikazemese I understand that there are psychological factors behind infidelity, just as there are behind any human behavior. The point is that this does not justify such actions, and does not make them less harmful or more forgivable. People who choose to be unfaithful and then say "Oh I'm sorry, I just needed to have sex," are not reliable at all. That is not a valid reason to hurt your partner's feelings or to risk exposing them to a sexually transmitted disease. He had other options and choose the worst

[@mittensisnotacat6161]

The theory about the women representing Carrie’s ego, superego, and id is really interesting.

[@alomendieta]

I FULLY support the idea of the girls not being for each other except for Carrie, but I think it's the only realistic point about adulthood: they have family and/or work and they live in different neighborhoods, so it's logical that Charlotte and Miranda don't run togheter or go apartment hunting. This said, Carrie is the only one with an open agenda who can go wherever whenever and be a plus one to picking a halloween costume for her friend's son on any random evening

[@KasiaSopniewska]

I love this take! It makes so much sense. adulthood really is like that. everyone has their own lives, families, and jobs, so it’s totally logical that Charlotte and Miranda wouldn’t have time to run together or go apartment hunting. but then again, the movie's creators weren’t exactly going for realism as so many plotlines are far from realistic, like Big jilting Carrie and them never speaking afterward. life doesn’t work that way! he knows where she lives, they share the same friend group, and let’s be real, she would have bumped into him way earlier. but I guess that’s just the satc logic for you

[@konpulsiv]

I actually much prefer the "bad" lighting of the early seasons - maybe it's nostalgia 😅 I really dislike the bright visuals of the movies and AJLT, it takes me so out of the story (on top of, well, those stories not being nearly as good as the SATC series).

[@erinadams8080]

What bothers me about this movie-- and really any of the content made afterit -- is that the fashion no longer feels organic. Like in the show, the ladies have interesting lives and just happen to look great at the same time. But in these movies and AJLT, I always get the feeling that it's more about the clothes and then their lives second. And it makes everything feel so fake. They aren't realistic people anymore, just couture mannequins. It's annoying.

[@leflann2633]

Sjp only cared about humiliating kc lol plotlines prove that

[@Ennaitak]

"Did the movie miss the point?" Yes and no. It tied up a few loose ends that the show left such as Charlotte getting pregnant (which given her fertility issues in the show deserved WAY more focus) and Carrie and Big getting married. But Steve cheating on Miranda is such an out of character moment and having Samantha dump a good guy like Smith to go back on the cock carousel messed with any character development she had in the show. They should have gave Charlotte's pregnancy more attention, give Steve and Miranda other marital problems to overcome that aren't infidelity, Samantha and Smith could have broken up for different reasons, And Carrie's story could have been about planning the wedding and the insecurities she still had with Big. The second movie was even more pointless.

Not going to lie, Charlotte pookipsy in her pants always made me laugh, i felt it was karma for her xenophobic actions.

[@sarahagoune7006]

The parallel between the show and the wedding is a very interesting input. I'm a fan of the show and I watched the movies, but for me it ends with the show and I like to think the movies and the sequel do not exist. The show wasn't perfect but it's still a brilliant show about women and relationships in the 90s/2000s some episodes didn't age well, some are still very relatable and it was copied but never as good as the original. In the show, they were privileged white women but some plots were still relatable, with the movies it was too over the top as if we can feel sorry for them, uber rich cringy women. They became the women they used to lake fun of.

[@razorbladelemonade]

You can’t feel sorry for people if they have money?

[@BKME19]

I saw this movie the day it came out in New York. I have to say the ending was good with the way Big surprised Carrie with the girls at the courthouse. His genuine smile when he opened the door felt like it was the actors genuinely filming that scene. It had the whole theatre happy. With that said, we all know Big was terrible. But that scene was done well. I’ll say that. LOL

[@retro.raider]

No wonder Charlotte got the runs. She ate only pudding!

[@TheZachValentine]

It’s a bit easier to forgive Steve because, if we take him for his word, it only happened the one time. Carrie continued on with the affair which is why it’s harder to forgive for me personally. Both are still wrong in what they did. Love the video! 🩷🍸

[@loewenmakrele]

Then again Steve just sucked during the series. He used Miranda for her money (living in her Apartment after their break up) while also shaming her for earning more as a lawyer than he made as a Barkeeper. He bought a dog she had to take care of. He basically begged her into having his one last chance child. He excused the horrible behaivor of his mother and made her take care of her. You just know that he constantly whined at each occasion that he had to have dinner with Mirandas work colleagues because he rather sit in his dirty underwear infront of the TV watching Basketball.

[@loewenmakrele]

Damn Miranda could have had Blair Underwood. Doctor to the Yankees, attentive to her child and her.

[@Maya-md9yt]

Mr big probably is alone and doesn’t have any friends in this movie because all his friends in the show were preppy and uptight and they didn’t like carries whole thing like smoking cigarettes at a fancy party. Mr big probably had to sacrifice his social life to be with Carrie I mean he wouldn’t even introduce Carrie to his mom so like his own mom probably would t even come. Idk a theory I made up when I was little when I had toxic positivity towards big. I always thought it was so romantic of him to pick Carrie over everything (probably if my theory is true). also understandable why he would have cold feet because of how much he is sacrificing (maybe) to be with her. At the end of the day tho we really don’t know shit about Mr big and we have to make stuff up about him like Carrie obsesses and makes shit up about him. it’s high art.

[@tarantulagirl]

All the girls became too wealthy apart from Miranda. The show became unrelatable. They became all things they used to criticise in the early show. Charlotte became one of those women who married money and gave up her job. Samantha and Carrie became too wealthy and it was all so designer the show just lot what made it special.

[@KasiaSopniewska]

it’s actually kind of weird that Harry and Miranda essentially have the same job as lawyers, but Harry earns enough for Charlotte to not work and live this princessy Manhattan life, while Miranda and Steve both work and still live in Brooklyn. the show always portrayed Miranda as super successful and ambitious, so it’s odd how their financial situations are so different

[@tarantulagirl]

@@KasiaSopniewskayes I always thought this too, however I read a comment on another video just last week saying that Charlotte got a million from Trey after divorcing, something to do with that vesting schedule she signed when she married Trey. I don’t know if this is true, I never really understood that prenup she signed where Charlotte negotiated with Bunny and said he was worth a million.

[@pacrat190]

Steve is more forgivable than Carrie because Carrie does it over and over again THEN she does it to different people. While she didn’t have sex with adien she def has a bit of an emotional affair with him when she’s married.

[@KasiaSopniewska]

the key part of the quote is 'at its best,' which is important to notice. it’s saying that the movie can show why their bond sticks, but that doesn’t mean it always does. The friendship here doesn’t really grow or evolve like it does in the series: it’s more about them sticking to each other through thick and thin. which, don’t get me wrong, is great, but it doesn’t feel as dynamic or layered as the show’s portrayal of their relationships. so, while their bond is strong, the movie doesn’t explore it as deeply as it could have

Well done!!! But just so you know… Re: Mexico…the ladies were not running around urban Mexico; they were at a resort which might as well be mini-USA… Being Mexican American, I have never been to a resort… I have spent my life running around in very beautiful and questionable places. Mexico (and most counties) do not have the same policies and procedure nor consistent regulations that are always followed. The poorer, the smaller, the more rural the areas the more “mas y menos” it becomes. But the locals also have a different gut health…as they do not pasteurize their dairy products… which is the same in Europe. So it isn’t about being poor or anything it is because USA is OVER sanitized so we have a different gut health. When I was pregnant and in Mexico visiting family… I didn’t eat anything that wasn’t cooked. The only milk I had was hot chocolate and I didn’t eat any fruit from the stands… which I normally do when not pregnant. So I didn’t see that part of the move as making fun or derogatory.

It's to protect Carrie if anything went wrong. Initially she says she wants to sell her apartment so she can have a financial stake in the apartment. She points out that she'd have no security if something happened since they weren't married. So Big says well we could just get married then. It's not romantic in the conventional ott sense but I think it kind of is.. Big wants Carrie to keep her own money etc including the apartment and just casually hands her half of his as well.

big doesn't have any friends

I think the difference in the cheating storylines had to do with life events. If I remember, SJP husband had been rumored to cheat on her as the 2nd movie script was being written.

Didn’t she puke because she was pregnant? Not because of the water?

[@MeaganSal96]

She didn’t puke, she 💩 herself

[@AgingStudent]

She had diarrhea

[@esikazemese]

I always thought it was because of the pudding :D

how is it xenophobic that people who're used to us water get food poisoning from tap water in exotic countries?

[@KasiaSopniewska]

hi! good question! it’s true that people can get food poisoning or feel unwell from tap water when they’re traveling, especially if their stomachs aren’t used to it. but the way this scene plays out makes it feel less like a practical concern and more like a stereotype about certain countries being unsafe or unclean. the exaggeration of Charlotte’s paranoia, refusing to eat anything except a chocolate pudding, feels like it’s poking fun at the culture rather than just showing her being careful. if the movie had shown her asking for advice or being thoughtful about it, it wouldn’t feel so awkward to watch now. hope that makes sense xx

​@@KasiaSopniewskaAs someone who has been pregnant and also struggled with infertility like Charlotte did, I must say I absolutely understand her concern with tap water.Getting any type of poisoning even when non-pregnant is scary, I had it in 2021 in Egypt, same as her, it was hell.Now, she got pregnant after a loss and many painful unsuccesaful attempts, so she feels responsible for herself and her baby and she really does not want to risk anything and go through another loss.She is traumatised and overtly cautious, that's all.I was basically like her in my first pregnancy, so I can relate...

[@KasiaSopniewska]

just to clarify, Charlotte actually got pregnant after the Mexico trip, so at that point in the movie, she wasn’t expecting yet :) I’m very sorry to hear about your own experience with food poisoning. it sounds awful! and I appreciate you sharing your story

[@vmgr3]

Im from Mexico and it is 100% a terrible scene. She was not staying on the “poor” side of Mexico. She was in a 5 star hotel where Im almost sure was full of americans… (for sure is Los Cabos) Food poisoning? No way. It feels like she is kind of saying we are dirty and unclean. Girl you need to meet a latina mom so you will see how clean we are hahaha (and also our food) And the water… it is mandatory to use CLEAN WATER on every hotel. Please, we are not +100 years behind America. Stop imagine México like all sepia and desert just because Hollywood show you only that part Great video btw hahahaha

[@soonsims]

​@@vmgr3 I'm neither from MX nor from US and the way I saw the scene was purely that that tap water isn't for the american stomach. I didn't get any of that stuff about mexican people - yeah the hotel looked super clean and luxurious. It made Charlotte look stupid because she was being paranoid and in the end I think she did get poisoning because she drank the water from the shower if I remember correctly. So from, a let's say objective perspective, the joke lands and the only issue was the tap water. I find people are reaching these days making everything racist. Now if we talk about the second movie it was absolutely atrocious lol
