Single girls from all over New Orleans flocked to see Sex and the City II last night. I, of course, was one of them. I bedazzled my way through the crowd, sat front and center and titled my head towards the big screen! Ignorant of the plot, I anticipated the movie with my friend and gently sipped my “Jungle Juice” flavor daiquiri.
I prepared myself to be inspired. I yearned to have a deeper understand of love and intimacy. I hope to leave uplifted, embracing my single status as a gift rather than a curse, which is what society tries to make singles feel.
I couldn’t help but wonder…… Am I the only person that is watching this commercial movie for answers about my real life?
My thoughts were quickly interrupted by the opening song, the song of the year, Empire State of Mind. All of my focus went to the show. I’d like to think that the Jay’s voice had that effect on me.
As I sipped my beverage, which at this point began to work its magic, I lost myself in New York City. I giggled my way through the movie, satisfied with the fashion, tripped out by the climax, and not so impressed with the resolution.
From insecurities about weight and aging to the fear of infidelity in a relationship to pulling skeleton’s out of the closet, I found myself empathetic of situations that I encountered and those that never crossed my path.
Sex and the City, in general, reveals friendships to be non judgmental bonds that surpass every trial. It creates an untraditional depiction of love that suggests that each couple can create their own boundaries. Sex and the City also seperates the individual from society in showing that happiness and peace can be found in more than one way.
When I began to feel what each of the ladies were experiencing, I realized the purpose of movies like Sex and the City. Women need to feel connected to something. Knowing that people worldwide experience that same struggles that we battle with enables us to feel normal.

Here are the lessons that one can take from this movie.
1. Many times, we are made to feel ridiculous because we obsess over detail and are sensitive to emotions. This movie suggests that your thoughts and feelings are legit and worthy of attention.
2. Women can be strong enforcers in a relationship and not take over the positions of their men.
3. Women can make mistakes in a relationship and not be help more guilty than a man who makes slips that same way.
4. Relationships are not easy, but real love conquers all.
5. There are no rules.
6. A cute dress and pumps are a recipe for a splendid day!
My question to you……Can you really have sex and the city? Meaning, can one really be have a good relationship and still be all about pursuing their own interests in the world? How does it work?
