ED: Sex And The City DVD9

Code : W000037

The narrative of the show focuses on Carrie and her three best friends. (Bushnell has indicated that Carrie's friends are composites of her friends.) The women discuss their sexual desires and fantasies, and their travails in life and love. The show often depicts frank discussions about romance and sexuality, particularly in the context of being a single woman in her mid-thirties. According to "Sex and the City: Kiss and Tell," by Amy Sohn, the series creator Darren Star wanted to create a show that expressed true adult comedy, sex, in an up-front way.
The first season of the show was an accurate adaption of its original source; however, subsequent seasons depart from the book. Each episode in season one features a short montage of interviews of people living in New York City regarding topics discussed in that episode. These continue through season two but are then phased out. Another feature that would eventually be scrapped was Carrie breaking the fourth wall (for example, looking into the camera and speaking to the audience directly, also known in older drama as an aside). Bradshaw would question scenarios and ideas, asking the audience for an opinion or insight on different situations. The pilot, however, also had the characters of Miranda and Charlotte as well as a few minor characters speaking directly to the camera/audience. The last such event by Carrie occurs in episode 3 of the second season, "The Freak Show". The method of expressing inner monologues was shifted exclusively to voiceovers by Carrie in future episodes. Her main narration usually revolves around the premise of that week's "article", where she sums up her thoughts with, "I couldn't help but wonder...". As she says that, her computer monitor is shown while she is typing the text of her voiceover, ending up with the theme of the episode expressed as a question such as, "Are we sluts?" or "Can you really have sex without politics?"
Miranda是剧中最尖刻的角色。她冷漠，和Samantha一样对男人缺乏信心。后者因为缺乏信心而纵情声色，她则小心谨慎的收藏内心。在和Steve有了一夜情之后，Steve希望能更进一步，Miranda却在酒吧里当着众人对Steve极尽讽刺之能事。"If you want good service, send a bartender. If you want a good fuck, go home with one."
她受不了矫情做作、多愁善感，传统与世故她都不放在眼里。在她生孩子的时候，她一定要让Carrie去陪她。拜托Carrie千万别让护士饱含激情地催生，"Push! Push!" 她会受不了。在Steve看到孩子之后热泪盈眶，她又受不了地别过头去，嫌他太emotional。棱角分明的Miranda最后陷入剧中最矛盾的irony当中。她最不相信男人，就在那次四人聚会，她极力讽刺Steve的那次。原本Carrie说好Mr.Big会来，却久候不至。Miranda火了，说"Men are bullshit!"可是，当Mr.Big最终出现的时候，却彻底动摇了她的belief system。她于是冲出去追回了Steve，真的从one night stand发展出了一段长久的relationship。她最激烈的反对Carrie和Mr.Big的恋情。因为她知道Carrie意乱情迷，招来的只有伤害。她也最激烈的反对Carrie抛下自己的生活去和俄国人去Paris，甚至和她不惜翻脸，因为她比Carrie更了解她自己，没有自己的生活圈子就很难幸福。但最后，Mr.Big找到了这三个，问Carrie在Paris到底幸福不幸福，他还有没有一丁点希望弥补自己当初的错误，追回Carrie。只有Miranda对Mr.Big说，"Go get our girl."这一段，朋友之间的友谊看得真让人荡气回肠。她其实勇敢而不盲目，偶尔放纵又不算自暴自弃，直率而不粉饰。她最终走向家庭，是Sex and the City里最必然，最美满，也是最为人看好的结局。
