Didn't Big go to Paris and come back with a girlfriend without telling Carrie? And he has the nerve to be upset at Carrie for going to Paris with Petrovsky? Nope, thank you, next. Big and Carrie should have ended here!
Romulus The Maine Coon Yes! And he was in a relationship with Carrie at the time! As opposed to when Carrie was leaving, she wasn’t in a relationship with Big and had no obligation to tell him anything.
Hahahahaa i thought no one was schocked by it too. His sexist narcissism is just too agresive, too hurtful and too obvious as well. Sadly, stories have an impact, a very strong one… And in those days, toxic and horrible relationships were normal to watch, forgiving infidelities, justifying unacceptable behavior, being the therapist of a messed up man who didn’t want to deal with his emotions because he is very manly and too cool for school, until he meets that girl that makes him laugh again, that understands him, support his dreams, making him feel safe… and then he did a fucked up thing and she pushed her away and at the end he goes to the airport to prevent her from going on to the next chapter by saying that he got scared, that too much love was a very strange feeling to grasp and that he LOVES her. And just because a person was able to identify and name their feelings; everything was forgiven and celebrated. I work in that area and i see a lot of Millenials struggling because everything changed but they are programmed to be repeating the same patterns, to boicot their own happiness, that they cannot find a true connection because the other millenials are married, centennials are not very demonstrative and the other single millennials are just as fucked up.
And this should have been the final scene in that on and off chapter that was Carrie and Big. And girls who get played and used instead of the commitment they hope for, deserve a closing scene like this in real life.
I do not think that he is any more nervous than he would be in any other altercation, which is precisely the point. He takes her for granted, with standard "treat her mean, to keep her keen" strategy.
this scene reminds me of when, after 11 years of ups and downs, i finally put the brakes on a man, cut him out of my life for the final time. i felt so strong and proud of myself for getting off that merry go round, no more of him needing/wanting me when the chips were down etc. i still cared about him but i realized that he was never going to be the kind of man i wanted, needed and deserved. that was the last time i saw him; he died four years later.
lisa bradford I am so sorry for your loss , I am glad you left him but I am sure it was not easy hearing about him passing away. I did the same after 12 years, it took place a year ago, he never wanted to have any type of commitments and I kept compromising and bending and reforming myself to meet his growing demands hoping that this would change his mind until I felt That If I bend any more I would break, we had a fight and he said that he is ( suffocated) and that he needs to move on, I was sobbing when he said that but I felt a huge burden being lifted of my chest and I said: well know that I have loved you to no end and I gave you my all and I have nothing left to give, to which he replied: I have to hang up I need to work. I hang up and ran to my mom and hugged her crying and laid in her lab until I was calm but that was it, I never called and I never texted him again ( which was some thing I used to always do whenever he broke up with me before), it was very painful but it is as if you have a gangrene in your leg, sure your leg is very important but if it stays attached to your body any longer it would kill you, and this is how I felt breaking up with him, I felt I am giving up a limb. He tried to reach out 6 month after we broke up but I ignored his messages and then he disappeared from my life, I am still recovering and I am still learning to rebuild a life that was constructed around him but I am very proud of myself. It takes a lot of courage to make the decision to walk a way from someone you really love
If I was Carrie, I would've said "suuure! tomorrow is perfect! meet me at such time! I'm soo looking forward, til then bye-bye, boo!!" and leave him waiting like the biggest idiot
+The Glamour BOX If you still have one...please leave him. I had one for very long time... Most people that have "Big" will never end up like Carrie. Yes he is super rich and charming, always come to you when you are in relationship with someone but he actually never love a "Carrie" woman. He needed her... but never love her. You deserve someone better- It takes a huge courage to say, enough is enough - it takes years for me to let him go and i had suffer a lot. Things you need to do is, be an independent woman, when you finally don't put your happiness under someone's shadow then it's time to share your life with the one that will find you somehow. I don't know how old are you... but trust me, in real life... my life is very close to Carrie journey - i'm also a writer for almost a decade. I know how it feels.. - Be independent, make your self happy... do trip with your own money, order the best cocktail in the world, buy a cheap hat somewhere out of your continent -- just stay happy :).
+Siti Faizah I'm actually in a relationship with a guy that's a little younger than me and that loves me and that I love. Yes I still have a BIG.... But I don't want him & I let him know that every chance he goes out of his way to contact me. This is a tv show & I live in reality. Your comment is accurate... I definitely know better now after 4 years of his BS.
+Siti Faizah I am a celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist. I have my own brand. I was raised to be independent and have always been. So before you give advice please ask. In fact don't take the web too seriously... I live in NYC .... All women here are for the most part is independent. We don't have a choice
It would have been such a powerful end! I know it’s a very unpopular opinion but I was very happy when Big died… Finally she will stop being humiliated again and again by this man.
I had someone like big. Every fkn time I was in a good place or in a relationship he would suddenly make an appearance and there I was drooling for him. He carried himself like the best thing out there and of course I wasn't good enough for him so he only had me when he was bored.
This should have been the end of their ridiculous relationship. Aleksandr would never have hit her - they made this out of character action to justify the return of this relationship.
When she was with aiden, big wanted her, after breaking up with aiden he never even wanted to start a relationship, and now that he's with the Paris guy, (Not single) he wants her. Because he can't have her. I don't like big nor carrie. My fav. Couple is Steve and Miranda and Charlotte and Harry...with Samantha my fav character.
I was with someone like Big for 13 years. He put me through hell and back back until I had the courage to put an end to it once and for all. 6 months after I walked out he comes begging and apologising telling he will treat me right this time. He said things like he will wait for me forever and he can only love me and me alone. Two years back I would have fallen for it and gone back but not anymore. May be he means it and this time he will treat me right but I don't want to be with a man who treated me like trash for 13 years to realise that I deserved better.
Me, too @meghan3835, was with my guy like Big for 16 years ... broke it off 7 years ago, and he still contacts me randomly to invite me back to a life with him. He is the EXACT SAME and doesn't realize how different I am ... happy and at peace. Even if I wasn't, I couldn't go back to him because I could never be with him again and look at myself in the mirror. Somewhere along the line, it was like a light switch and I couldn't take anymore. Best decision ever.
No, she didn't look happy at all. Carrie was obviously shocked to see him. She never smiled the whole time before she got in the car and then she was polite (with a fake half-smile) but aloof in the car. then she gets annoyed when he becomes nosy because she is only giving minimal information as he tries to pull her back into their relationship. Since Carrie is over him (finally!) she gets the hell out of the car because she knows his game inside and out and just wants to get on with her life. She's annoyed when he gets out of the car and makes a firmer attempt to suck her back in followed by a joke about the Russian showing again how he can go from supposedly loving to flaky in an instant (like he did endlessly in their previous relationship). then when he says "when were you going to tell me?" about her moving to Paris - displaying epic / gigantic hypocrisy - she REALLY goes off on him. this is Carrie finally looking out for her own best interests.
She didn’t look happy. This is the look of shock and anguish. She knows how much she loves him and she knows how much he never wanted her as more of a casual thing. She’s afraid to fall in his charm and get hurt again. That’s why she gets sooo mad. She’s fighting herself. Unfortunately she lost. That’s sad because that’s what happened. She believed him only to end up hurt, humiliated and alone at the altar because after 10 years, the man still needed reassurance and encouragement to marry her 😢 Not to mention he did NOTHING to get her back after that ( no flowers, no coming to her door, no letter of explanation or asking to meet her , nothing). And yet, she forgave him…again. If we look at the facts ( not the 5 mn of happiness in the movies) it’s a pretty scary story,
The second she says 'I'm happy' he was like 'what do you mean'. She should've said she was miserable and needed him to marry her, he would have probably driven off the same minute
Exactly. That's how the script was originally written, but those damn producers messed with the story just so they could shoot those two crappy movies.
People act like Carrie ending up with Big undoes the magic of this scene. BUT I think if Carrie hadn’t exploded at him like this, they never could have been together long-term. She needed to put him in his place and make him think he’d lost her to FINALLY clock all the shit he’d put her through. It’s a really important moment for his character arc and brings him closer to being the man she deserves. I’m not sure I’m 100% pro Big and Carrie being together, but I do think this is a powerful moment for Carrie and I don’t think it’s undone by later events.
I don't usually respond to comments, plz don't hate on me lol. But even though Carrie did put him in his place and make him realise just what he would be losing, that didn't change him because he still ended up playing with her heart on the wedding day. It feels like even after this confrontation, their relationship remained the same where he has to get what he wants exactly how he wants it and he has no regard for Carrie's feelings or for how he mistreats her.
Those powerful move can only change a man for a moment. When those kind of man realize they have you back they become who they really are: a man who didn’t truly love Carrie nor did he ever wanted to marry her ( hence why he jilted her at the altar Ayer knowing her for 10 years!). And I agree with the other poster, he probably have cheated on her during the Marriage because he never expressed shame when cheating on his 2 ex wife’s. But I agree with you that if she had been that assertive with him since the beginning, he would have respected her more.
The end of the scene, Big looked so hurt & in disbelief of everything Carrie said. He had that coming to him. Carrie still loved him. This is what Big needed to make him realize the love between them..Both of them had inflicted pain on each other. I believe the Russian was a bad choice. I'm glad they married.
If he really loved her, he would never had jilted her at their wedding. What kind of 50 y.o. Man does that? After knowing her for 10 years!! He still needed reassurance. He still wanted everything done HIS way ( no page 6, no big wedding, no compromise). If he really loved her, he would let her have the biggest most ridiculous wedding just to make her happy because made her suffer horribly for years. That’s the least he could do 😢
What a series you watched, for God's sake. How stupid is your comment. The Russian may have been a bad choice, but Big screwed Carrie over again by standing her up at the altar. You are definitely one of those people who doesn't learn lessons.
It's so weird that they kept in touch all those years pretending to be friends or something. It's not like I haven't had people treat me badly but afterwards I was just like "I understand you need to be without me so please kindly fuck off, I don't want to have you in my life" . Of course you have emotions and you can hope and dream, but in situations like that using reason does you a service.
I feel like Big is not a jerk but just someone who is just not into her, and his behaviour is a general human behaviour, you want something when you can’t have it. The ending of this series should have been this episode, but she should have moved to paris for herself, and not for a man, and definitely not for a guy like patrovsky/preston
I think he was very into her but he she was too needy for him and she wasn't classy enough, and he for sure wanted a classy lady like Natasha and wasnt happy that he liked Carrie so much. I think everytime they were apart he realized he missed her. Carrie should've given up on him long ago still, though she could've just worked on her extreme neediness which isn't an attractive quality in general. Just look at how easily she fell for Petrovskis cheesy behaviours and uprooted her entire life to be with him in Paris... Needy.
@@josefinebliss2801 you are so right! And I would add that she acts desperate and needy only when the guy is rich and powerful. She wasn’t needy at all with Aiden, Berger and all of the other men. She wanted so much to be part of that world ( big’s) she would loose herself trying to fit in.
Through Carrie, Sex and the city does not have a good message for women. Shows women to hang around the emotionally unavailable men . This man had been a jerk throughout the serials, except for 1 or 2 episodes.
She didn’t want him to know which is great. He should’ve just shown up and she’s gone, empty apartment, and he finds out from her friends. That would’ve been wild after all he did.
Carrie should have known by the fact that she was afraid to return his calls and get in his car that she still loved him, but this scene is magic and SJP delivers it beautifully.
Este hubiera sido el final de un amor tan tóxico como el de ellos, pero no, tenían que regresar y seguir con la toxidad, me recuerda a mi relación tóxica de 7 años, pero lo mío si acabó gracias a Dios.
They love each other, that's obvious. But for 6 years Big did a lot of terrible things, so I'm not surprised that she's tired of this. I also love what will happen next. Big will do sth what he shoulded to do from the very beggining. I recommend the last two epizodes.
Hmmm it’s not obvious at all that he loves her. Very attracted to her, yes. But never to be confused with love. He showed times and again that she wasn’t precious to him. I know it’s a movie and they made their come back a fairytale but if a man treats you that way in real life, he won’t change. After all, he jilted her at the altar 😢 Because he still wasn’t sure ( after 10 years knowing her) And he still couldn’t compromise and give her the big wedding that she wanted. Just one day in his life, let her have the ridiculous wedding ( small price to pay if she’s the love of his life).
I love the role reversal in this. Big asking the exact same question she did "You're going to Paris and didn't tell me?" Plus, the role reversal in the second movie where she kisses Aiden. Big and Carrie having an affair breaking Aiden's heart, now she's stressing on telling Big and he knows what it's like to be cheated on. Aiden deserved so much better, but these two were both toxic. They belonged together.
For the first Time i do agree with Carrie’s character’s reaction. This guy keeps pushing on her. She missed opportunity to have a baby with him until she’s 38 years old when it’s time to get over it because You re too old. I would have been pissed off too. She should have slapped him. No woman deserves being treated so badly
@@karlamilitzapinillogonzale2481 Carrie was never sure if she wanted a baby or not. She was always questioning it and never came up with an answer. Even in the last season she was sad that Petrovsky didn’t want to have kids. She had a whole conversation with Samantha about it. It’s only in the second movie that she had decided with big ( was it even her idea? We don’t know) that they would not have one and she seemed fine with it.
I can’t imagine Carrie having a baby. She’s way too superficial. She’s also self-absorbed, but I disregard that because she’s single. Who else would she devote her time and attention to?
SEIS AÑOS??? DE LO QUE ME SALVE DE LO QUE ME SALVE GRACIAS DIOS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 GRACIAS DIOS! GRACIAS POR HACERME SER UNA ENFERMA LEONINA ORGULLOSA!! HOY MAS VIEJITA Y MÁS SABIA Y GRACIAS A MI EX!

NI UNA NOCHE PERDÍ CON LOS INÚTILES... MUCHO CUIDADO MUCHA ATENCIÓN, NO CEDAN!!! NUNCA CEDAN A LOS JUEGOS DE LOS HOMBRES!!!
i was in a 6 year situationship with a guy just like big😭. I’ve known him since we were classmates during our sophomore year. he was the popular one and i was the shy one. we were messing with each other sexually once i had feelings for him. however, that was the time where i didn’t have self respect and my esteem was so low to the point i was his side chick (he wasn’t married, but he was in a relationship with multiple women) similar to Carrie, i fell for his manipulation and lies. after i ended being his f*** toy, i went to therapy and took accountability for everything i put myself through. all i wanted was to be his girlfriend to the point i compared myself to the women he dated😭😭. i finally regained self love and never want to allow myself in that situation again. to this day, i still care about him, but i came to the point where he doesn’t care the way i use to. now, im in a happy, healthy relationship with a man who treats me with respect and keeps me protected 💚. p.s. he’s my aidan ✨.
I read that this was apparently the last scene they shot for the series and SJP said it was eerie the last thing she said was "I dont live here anymore". Because the series was really done.
I think Carrie never let big talk. Just slow down and talk and think and say what he was thinking and feeling. She always pushed, pulled and shut him down. Over and over he tried to tell her EXACTLY what he was thinking, feeling, wanting, not wanting and she just never SHUT UP and LISTENED.
There was nothing to listen here. His actions for the past 6 years spoke for themselves: he didn’t value Carrie. No amount of “I love you “ would change that. She should have not even sit in his car.
