Carrie: You’re not taking this serious.
Mr. Big: No I’m not, it is a circus…This is my third marriage how do you think this makes me look?
Carrie: I didn’t know that was even an issue…
Mr. Big: This is what you want. I want 'you’ that is what I want. I could have just gone down to City
Hall.
She walks to the door of the bathroom and knocks on the door: MR. Big opens the door.
Carrie: I think it’s too late for City Hall now.
Mr. Big: I wasn’t suggesting that.
Carrie appears to be very unhappy.
Mr. Big: That’s the face I’ve been trying to avoid. Come here.
Then Mr. Big opens his arms to offer Carrie an embrace. In this scene, several traits can be seen typically(Fairclough, 1995). Mr. Big is worried about the public views on him, for he is going to get married for a third time. Mr. Big is also quite assertive with the thing that he wants, because he has the action of pushing away Carrie when she wishes to discuss the wedding and he wants to work. This scene has represented the ideology of a woman with happy dreams on the wedding and the ideology of a man with assertive characteristics effectively. Mr. Big is very typical as a man who always knows what he wants(Carter, 2004,). Carrie is one typical woman who wants to have a spectacular wedding and likes to follow man when she has to decide on some important things. The power of men and the tender traits of women have been represented effectively. They have interacted with each other with the physical actions and the discourse to solve the problem relating to the wedding. Therefore, the film is one of the effective media to display the human interactions(Southard, 2008).
3.4 The film can be a problematic medium
In the film, Harry and Charlotte travels to China and they get back to New York for Lily. They can not get a kid on their own. From this plot, the ideology of Charlotte can been seen clearly. Charlotte wants a perfect family, including a perfect man as her husband and the perfect kids as well. She is typical of pursuing for the perfect things. However, there is no such a thing as perfect in reality. Therefore, the ideology of Charlotte is not right to some degree. This is one kind of improper ideology to some degree. There is only a small number of human beings who would like to chase for the perfect. Charlotte is always worrying about the family, which has made her unhappy at all(Elizabeth, 2011). The ideology of perfect can harm the feelings between one person and another to some extent through the eye contacts, the behaviors and the discourse. Therefore, the ideology in this scene is a bit problematic in representing the human interactions to some extent.
4.0Conclusion
The film is a kind of social media to amuse people in daily lives. With the development of the technology, the human interactions become more and more complex. The film can show the ideology in several aspects to a great degree. As has been referred in the above, the ideology can be various from one person to another or one film to another film. The film is one way to reflect the ideology of human beings. The film—Sex and the City is very typical in the upper class lives. The depiction of 4 white women with higher education is very vivid and gorgeous. There are many discourses and interactive behaviors in the film, so it is useful to analyze this film in detail to decide whether the film is an effective medium or a problematic film in representing the human interactions. The human interactions can be interpreted as the human communications(Daniel, 2010). The analysis of the film that can represent the human interactions may make a contribution to the development of the harmony in society and in the world. The essay in the above has discussed the main idea in detail. To conclude, the film is an effective and problematic medium for representing human interaction.
