What kept me in front of the screen is simple-- the reflection of myself in the characters. Basically I believe people can only be understanding only when they recall the same thing in their own life, and fortunately this is not so difficult because humanity is largely the same. As a kid I was wondering if what I thought was peculiar or eccentric, later did I find that many others thought the same, only that they kept silent. No wonder if one successfully speaks for the majority, the echo from them will be overwhelming.
Well it's a bit away from the topic so let's return to the series. Women seldom speak publicly about their private life, while this TV series intend to break the silence. The four leading actresses resemble 4 different types of women, winning a large pool of audience that could find their own image in them. Perhaps you'll be like none of them exactly, but now and then you feel what you think spoken out by one so accurately. Carrie always asks the questions concerning most of us, hence she inevitably becomes popular-- Many, many people claim they're jus like Carrie not because they're small-figured, working as a writer and buying ridiculously expensive shoes, but because they ask these questions. While asking these, we think we are her.
Not necessarily should the four represent all people, as we can see, the four women have quite a lot in common which is not so common among the mass. They've decent job, at least look sleek and have good tastes. And most of all, they have the courage to search for real love. Around them there is a world many couples are just marrying for marriage's sake. They're special for they don't want to compromise. The depression they've gone through touches our hearts and invokes our sympathy, while actually we're sympathizing with ourselves. At the end, all of them find their true love despite the winding path, we need such tales for comfort, and to gain some optimism about our own issues.
As the story comes to an end, Charlotte got her baby's picture, it was a lovely Chinese girl. Miranda, having moved to Brooklin, ran out to find her stray mother-in-law in the street and bathed her tenderly. Convalesced from breast cancer, Samantha lost her confidence in the bedroom and even suggested her boyfriend to make love with other women. Smith did not say a word, he flew back overnight with a bunch of daffodils that hasn't bloomed. His love gave Samantha the courage to finally admit her angst and anticipation. On Smith's return day, the buds fully bloomed together along with their romance. Carrie completely lost herself in Paris, on finding her old necklace, she broke up with the selfish boyfriend of hers. At the mean time, Mr. Big was in that city finding her. The two laughed and rolled on the floor in the hotel after Carrie tripped him to the floor to stop him from fighting with Aleksandr. At that moment the real Carrie and real Mr. Big, revived.
The last episode of season six was a great shot and the fairytale fulfillment of all wishes. When the four reunion in the Big Apple, background music presents an airy pace and rhythm of expectations. The story starts with sex and ends in love. All those who didn't know the answer, who knew the answer but never got it realized, who pretended to not care, who once actually did not care, finally revealed the true feelings deep inside. No matter how much drama or tale the series encorporates, or how much one likes the characters and their ways of life, Sex and City is a story about telling the truth. People just cannot deny a series that is frank.
