Sex and the City debate

Web Editor — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 18:06:03 +0000

In its six seasons on HBO, “Sex and the City” reinvented mainstream perceptions of New York City, fashion and gal-pal gossip. But after seeing the big-screen version, we couldn’t help but wonder … why go to the theater when you can watch reruns on TBS for free?

WOMEN

David Lee: As a man, it was fun to watch the women. I hate to use the verb, but watching them bond. I think the movie was at its best when it showed them kind of getting each other’s backs.

Debbie: I see what you’re saying, but it always confused me a little bit, that the premise is, “I’m this independent woman, but my life revolves around men.” And then it gets wrapped up all nicely with the four gals sitting there drinking, and saying, “Oh aren’t boys silly and we don’t really need them.”

Besha: It was always strange to me that Carrie’s family was never mentioned. Even in the movie, she’s getting married! Where’s her family? In the same way that those women present an unobtainable view of how you would spend your life and money, they also presented this unobtainable model for how you should live, who your relationships should be with and how much time you can put toward those relationships.

Debbie: From a male’s perspective, how do you perceive the dynamic that the four of them have?

David Lee: Thomas’ response is a sigh.

Thomas: I think it was definitely realistic. But it’s also terrible. God. How much of their problems do they create themselves? I mean, by harping on it, are they creating problems because they need something to fall apart so they can put it back together?
