You know, I always think about the scene where Carrie says "35 is not 25" and Miranda responds with "Thank God" every time my birthday rolls around or when I worry about getting older. I interpret Miranda's line meaning that the older you get, the more wise and less immature you become, so it always makes me feel a bit more comfortable about aging. I'm grateful for it. 🙂
In my 20s I was a mess, my relationships were a mess and I was so insecure about everything. Now in my 30s I'm so much happier, confident, and know my worth -and I have found my soulmate 💘 So... I'm with Miranda here, thank God!😊
I love how Samantha doesn't believe in soulmates but when Charlotte asks for them to all be eachothers soulmates she changes her whole view on it. That real love. Friends like that are rare. I've found my soulmate in my best friend and she's the one i can soend 24/7 and never be bored. So ik for a fact i never have to worry about all that.
Charlotte is the most positive uplifting friend and Miranda is a mega realist who knows she doesn't really need a man to complete her and she's well off and Samantha is just a goddess who could get whoever she wanted to be honest and as the show wore on, Carrie became more and more selfish and bitchy. But altogether they all meshed I guess
Muhammad Hafiz carrie for me is the embodiment of most women on a really bad day, except she's like that everyday lmao. I definitely relate to miranda the most myself
Miranda didn't respond to Charlotte either. But it is a given that they all connected to it... And Samantha's hook up with anyone hot, is not real either.
Savannah Buxton Why the misogynistic language and why does every SatC clip become a Carrie-bashing fest, even when she behaves well in the clip? She did nothing wrong here. Char judged Samantha in the series all the time. And Samantha was deeply flawed. She cheated too. It’s such a night vs day experience coming from clips of The Sopranos, my other favorite HBO show. Guys root for and empathize with Tony through all of his horrid flaws and his were much worse than Carrie’s. What is it about flawed female protagonists that inspires such intense ire that male ones do not? It’s like women have no code or loyalty or ability to empathize with their metaphorical sisters. The gendered socialization really smacks you in the face when viewing these spaces for commentary back-to-back. Women’s internalized misogyny is just off the charts in this era.
25 Yes you can criticize women and their choices. I never said that you couldn’t or shouldn’t. How did the show itself constantly point out that Charlotte was deeply flawed? She was written to be unapologetically traditional-leaning and most fans adored that writing choice and adore her character. What are you talking about? You don’t think Carrie cheating on Aidan was meant to be seen as a flaw? Charlotte caught Carrie cheating in one episode and called her out in a way that the audience, me included, agreed with. You think the writers meant for us to disagree with Charlotte in that scene? Then there’s the scene where Carrie tries to apologize to Natasha after all the cheating and Natasha has the most brilliant response subverting viewer expectations at the time that, again, fans agreed with. Your interpretation that the writers meant for us to see Carrie as flawless and perfect is so incredibly wrong and ridiculous. She was clearly written very deliberately to be a human, so naturally flawed, character. What “quirky” behavior of Carrie’s didn’t age well? No, women calling women misogynistic slurs, and hating them disproportionately and beyond what is reasonable, and being unable to see their humanity because they make bad decisions sometimes, very much _is_ a display of misogyny. Misogyny that I called “internalized misogyny” because if you’re a woman with such gender biases in your subconscious, that means that it’s your own kind you’ve been brainwashed to despise and throw to the dogs so easily. Irrationally hating or having inhumane double standards for your own kind is hating internally. You didn’t actually make an argument at the end there. You didn’t even explain how I was wrong. You just said sort of sarcastically that it was hilarious. But why is what I said hilarious? My observation that men are more kind and empathetic to flawed male characters (and real men by extension) than women are to flawed female characters (and real women by extension) is both valid and true. Nothing is misogynistic about noticing the lack of sisterhood with women vs the very strong brotherhood and “bros before hoes” mentality most men seem to have either consciously or subconsciously.
Alot of people dont have the qualities of being a friend, but you have to know what kind of burden and what kind of grace you can take if you want to be with someone or have a friend.
This is so painful to watch after a ''friend break-up''. Break ups with men are tough, but when you lose that soulmate-type best friend, it's hell... :(
You had misunderstanding with your girls or something? ..Well ...there are saying in Japan " a man have 7 enemies while he steps outside the house" while we make up new one which goes " women have 70 enemies while she goes outside ( for work)" and then, I personally created another saying " women&feminism 's enemy is men, but if you are female who got pretty face, you have countless (unseen) enemies amongst women". So do not be discouraged girl, you let go and make new friend! I'm really mot sure how to comfort you but mine too got married all overseas + one just lost touch with me (after there was rumor that she said something horrible about me) ...I'd always assume, although she was my intimate friend, she had personal mental problem by birth or by environment (=not her fault) and cherish our memories, ... OR wonder maybe she never said horrible things about me but there was some evil enemy making up lies to hurt our relationship out of jealousy.... Anyway, I don't think about her it get easier and easier with time.....I assume she is doing fine wherever she is, she once used to be chosen by me as friend she should be tough :) ! Yours probably doing fine cherishing your memories... just don't think into it. Ppl daily die you lose friends, you assume she is gone, you will be ok💪🏻 it's not like former-soulmate ever be your frenemies....💮
S k If it’s any comfort, if your soul mate hadn’t been taken you’d still be here together. It’s not like you fell out. So you can always happily treasure your memories together.
I love how Samantha can instantly make Carrie feel better about turning 35 with that whole "welcome to my box ;)' thing. I'm gonna remember that when I turn 35 so I can feel better too.
Stan, Michael Patrick King was the main writer/show runner after the first few seasons and he thought shaking everything up and getting people to talk about the show was a positive thing. Imagine being proud of destroying the legacy of the show!
Typical selfish Carrie, didn't even pay attention to Charlotte when she was saying that nice thing about being each other's soulmates, just went back to whining about her age. Of course Samantha was the only one who cared enough to respond positively
Neither did Miranda but y'all are just so focussed on the 'Carrie is selfish' part that she is just blamed for such trivial matters too. She is the main character lol.
They're not Millenials they dont take what each other says to any offense. They are each individuals and dont need to affirm or reassure each other that they agree all the time.
I love Samantha. I am 43. I am so grateful that I am not trapped in a hellish marriage with a guy I don't love and screaming children bc I felt so desperate to be married. I am a university and college educated woman with a great career, and an awesome home and vehicle which I purchased myself. Any man would have to be able to offer me something better than what I have in order to be with me. Get your head out of the sand woman.
Good for you but I don't understand the las sentence. You dovrealise that if you chose the be single it still does not mean it is bad to be married, right?
The scene where Carrie complains she is 35... i remember watching this scene when I was 27, and I was like "I hope I won't be single by 35 !". And here i am, getting 39 in 3 weeks... and still single ! So depressing ! :-(
Elhadj Habbouche write down all the qualities you want in a partner. Imagine you’re wearing a diamond and wedding band now, think from it not of it. Look into Neville goddard’s secret of imagination
39, single and no children? There's no much time left to make your life meaningfull. You should analyse why you don't have a life partner - and change that prevented your from having one. I am in a similar position with the difference that I have already a child (yes I want more), so the main stuff is accomplished in my life, all the rest is amusement
and for the wrong ideas put in the heads of young ladies. there's no such a thing as a friend soul mate (especially a woman). Woman yes feels if not complete at least accomplished when she has a child and secure when there 's a man willing to assure the well being of her and her children. so girls, be kind be modest target serious relationships, get married have children. All the rest is just a game
@@tagaway6173 You are so blind. We could never understand each other. Fine. find a soul-mate woman (good luck on that...). And dont' get married don't have children. Like this you'll be busy all your life looking for the purpose of life. Yes, you most likely would need anti-depressants, but hey, this is so advanced and open-minded, compared to traditional family, that you wouldn't mind.
The scene with them in the diner just proves to me that I would watch hours of Samantha & Miranda together. They are so funny & have great chemistry. 😍😊😃
@@KRonnaAs in the Characters or they themselves? Never heard that. Cynthia Nixon called Kim after her brother died and Kim said she was happy to hear from her.
76special this is one of my favorites! The dissapointment thay carrie feels when no one shows up to her dinner is palpable. It kinda shows that regardless of how much u accomppish in life, all that matters at the end of the day is the people who want to celebrate with you! Whether it be friends or relationships
The special valueband uniqueness of this show is that it’s not just a show, or some comedic romantic shit with a lot of namess guys and a couple of sexy ladies. It’s a show that spans from one time to another. When we are in our 20s, doubting abt life, we watch it; when we are in our 30s and worrying abt getting old, we remember it; and when we are in our 50s - or, 140s (haha), we were still missing it , in a way that’s so nostalgia that, one night, after dating and happy talk with your soulmates of whatever kind they are, you may find yourself bingewatching it scene by scene on RU-vid. That’s the value of the show.
I resonate with this show so much. I watched it religiously throughout my 30s, living alone and single. All my feelings and parts of my life playing out in front of me were wonderful. Even though not as glamorous, of course. 😊
I didn't have a meltdown. I am the only person who lied about her age the other way: I said I was 30 when I was 23. On the night before my 30th birthday, I was watching the clock with dread, stupidly convinced I wouldn't see my actual 30th because I'd lied about it 🤦🏻♀️
If someone completes you, you're in trouble. „Are you enough?” Damn yes I am, Charlotte! Omg in this scene Charlotte is everything I can't stand in a person.
Honestly LOVE this show and all four of the characters! They all have amazing unique qualities but at the same time still are flawed characters as well, I like the fact they aren't perfect which makes them quite relatable and it just makes their friendship mesh very well.... I wanna binge watch it now lol.
I realized I'm more like Charlotte but also a bit like carry, Samantha and Miranda. Actually we all women are a combination of these 4 that's why I like this show.✌️
I think Charlotte is the type of woman most guys want to marry. In real life, I think Charlotte would have married in her 20’s, Carrie and Samantha would stay single forever, and Miranda would marry a Steve type (only accurate one).
Don't they have anything else to talk about except men? And, how did Carrie afford all those designer clothes, shoes, NYC rents, eating dinner out every night, clubbing, taxis, vacations, etc writing an article in a newspaper????
Carrie always celebrated her birthday in the autumn/fall during the series so why is her birthday June in the movie. Really stupid mistake for the producers to make.
They all are above 35 and here I am, 27, thinking something is wrong with me because every girl that I know, my age or younger are is serious relationships/married.
people historically and to this date find mates based on proximity - be it physical, social or economic. people usually settle for someone who they find kind of compatible... finding one true love is like elusive fantasy that we are fed to believe....
I don't think it was used as a double entendre. Samantha was talking about the age frame box. Samantha was a bit older than carrie, charlotte, and Miranda and generally had the most healthy views on and relationship with her age, aging, her body, and sex. She was open minded and non judgemental. Samantha was really wonderful and such a great friend. Why, in the context of this scene and this conversation would Samantha ve talking about her vagina? Carrie was feeling insecure about getting older and turning 35, from moving from the 30-34 box on forms to the 35-45 box. And Samantha, was making her feel better by that comment which said Carrie wasnt alone in that box and Samantha was older and still looked great, had no trouble getting a man, men were still attractive to men/ Samantha was still desireable, etc. Exactly what would the point of the double entendre be? Just cuz box is another slang word for a womans vagina, doesnt mean it was being used as a double entendre here. If it was, it made no sense. And im an English major.
If I had that extremely cool social lofe they are having...I’d be extremely happy to be single. But tbh I’d want to be single at 35 even if I didn’t have that awesome social life soo...😄
