My first singaporean film juillet 6, 2008

Celia, her friend of Jerome spent 2 weeks at home. She loves art and culture, she offered us with Ariel, a friend to go to watch a singaporean film.

I was quite interested in watching it for several reasons.

1/ I have been living in Singapore for almost one year and i have never been to watch a singaporean film. I know it is strange but there are very few…

2/ Usually, we go to a multiplex cinema and I wanted to change and see this cinema located on the Mount Sophia(this place is well named when I see the upstairs, it was huge, isn’t it Ariel?)

3/ For my culture

The cinema is located on a school of arts. When we enter in the room it was great because no crowd and we could have a seat on the fantastic red sofa. I can tell it was the most confortable cinema that I have never seen in my life!

However, when the film began, a big surprise, it was so boring : very long sequences, few dialogues. It was quite confusing because in the same scene, a same character was interpreted by several actors and so slow. Nothing happened! It was terrible because I was so tired that I fell asleep. But I was not the only one : the film lasted 2hours…

Fortunately, at the end, the productor came to explain and we aked some questions. Thanks to this exchange I have understood a little bit the objective of his film. He was very friendly.

Next time, we will try again the experience but it would better to see the sypnosis before…

I WATCHED SEX AND THE CITY MOVIE AT LAST! mai 29, 2008

After long months of waiting, I finally watched the film of te year Sex and te City movie yesterday. Verdict : sublime, worship, to watch nd watch again! OK I am not impartial because I was a big fan of the TV show…

Muriel, a friend of mine and I went to Cathay Cineplex in the evening. I had booked one week before to be sure of having tickets. Muriel had never heard of the serie. It was the occasion for her to know about the most famous New York girls in the world. Muriel made me laugh because she wore peep toe and she planned socks in her handbag…

It was 142 minutes of pleasure, it was fantastic to find again Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte on the big screen. Despite 4 year absence. Each has not changed : Carrie, the fashionista, is wondering a lot of questions on the relationship men and women; Miranda,the working-girl, is completely lost and she does not how to choose  between her family and her work; Samatha, the seductive who decided to monogamous, is moving to LA with her boyfriend and Charlotte, the idealist, is happy with her husband and her adoptive daughter.

Why do I love the Sex and the city movie? I explain you in differents points:

1- Our 4 New york girls represents the independance of the woman. She works, she has each their own pesonnality and like freedom. They talk about sex very easily without taboo(even if Charlotte can be shocked by the sexual apetite of Samantha sometimes…).

2- Because I love fashion. This movie is a delight for the eyes. All four wear wonderful outfits each sequence. Carrie is somptuous in her wedding dress of Vivienne Westwood and we are almost jealous when she poses for Vogue in several prestigious wedding dresses of the biggest fashion. It was staggerring! They make us dream when they assist at the New York Fashion Week. I can dream…

3-Because they are funny : I love them because they are so natural when they talk each other. They can be very ironic and have a great sense of humor. Samantha ihe best for this : she has the art of the repartee.

4-For their strong frienship. Each is always there for the other. They can be confident and this is their strentgh. We find a little bit of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda or Charlotte in us or in our friends. We share their cosmopolitan*(the recipe below), we want to cheer with them.

I planned to watch it again but in French when I will be in Paris : I hope it is still showing until July.

Notices to those who wish to see it again this summer with me!

Cosmopolitan : for one drink

-3 cl cranberries juice

-3 cl vodka

-2 cl grand marnier

-1 soup spoon lime juice

Blend all with ice.

Cheers!

SEX AND THE CITY : 1 DAY TO GO mai 27, 2008

 

Who does not know Sex and the City? I think it is impossible when you heads up and you see wall advertisements. Nobody  escapes or you live in a bunker in recent months!

In Singapore, they sell limited edition Coke Light cans with the legs of all four leads from Sex and the City to promote the movie. In my opinion, they do not need to make advertisements but just go to see it!

One day to go before the release of the famous “Sex and City” movie. As you know a movie very expected by every women. As far I am concerned, I am an addictive of the serie and I look forward the movie! But how to explain all frenzy.

The story begins in 1998 into the small screen as four women in their 30s looking for love in the “Big Apple” : The first protagonist Carrie bradshaw (Sarah Jessica parker), a journalist who is the voice off. Though her articles, she portrayed the romantic relationships and her setbacks in this great city.  There are the lawyer miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon), the publicist Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall) and art dealer Charlotte York (Kristin Davis).

From 1998 to 2004, though the six seasons, these four independant and fashion women have made us dream : hanging outs, shopping at the biggest, sex. We would like to have friends like that. This is the first serie in which women talk about sex without taboo.

To refresh our mind, when the sixth season of the TV show ended in 2004, Mr Big went to Paris to look for Carrie, who had moved with her Russian artist boyfriend. Their relationship ended and Mr Big took her home to New York. Miranda, the pragmatic, had to take her of her son. Samantha, the maneater, went though chemotherapy for breast cancer and started a monogamous relationship with Jerrod Smith. Charlotte adopted a girl from China after she attempts at pregnancy failed.

After 4 year absence, Will the movie keep going the fairytale? What is happened during the wedding of our Carrie? The 142 minutes long will answer to all existing questions.

What I expect the most is the 300 costumes changes of the four stars of the Sex and especially the Carrie ones. Carrie wears 84 different Incredible wardrobe!

Let is go girls, get ready to be surperficial!
