00:00It turns out, there is no polite way to get out of phone sex.

00:03I'm dating a guy with the funkiest tasting spunk.

00:06Is it okay to fuck one guy when you're pregnant with another guy's baby?

00:26So, how big was it?

00:28Fresh pepper.

00:58Easy to approach.

01:00It was a series that, beyond simply making advertisement effects,

01:05thematized, embodied these subjects in characters.

01:09And that was interesting.

01:10That is to say, we could really see, we could really hear

01:14the opinions of these characters, for example.

01:15And they didn't always agree.

01:17That's what was great.

01:18It's that the four of them could have four different opinions on the same subject

01:22without us considering that this opinion was worth more than the other opinions.

01:27And so, we were also facing a real debate on these subjects.

01:50I think there was an impact, even much deeper than that.

01:53There was also an impact on the way we could consider female sexualities.

01:57And I did it on purpose to say sexuality, feminine plural.

02:01I think it's also a series that allowed us to talk about certain things

02:04that were still taboo, and that are probably still taboo today.

02:08So, it also initiated a social dialogue on sexualities.

02:17I think that if we have series today that talk about women,

02:22that stage women, that stage sexualities,

02:25but also feminism or effeminism, it's thanks to this series.

02:30And today, there are a lot of them.

02:31But at the time, there really weren't any.

02:37The two actually talk about women's sexual freedom,

02:39their freedom to be women, the possibility of being equal,

02:44of being treated with respect in their couple,

02:47in the public sphere, in bed.

02:51And in fact, they take this question in an extremely different way.

02:55But deep down, they're talking about the same thing.

03:06We can't help but see that they are still strongly subject to a patriarchal model

03:14of the man, the woman and the couple, and their role within this couple.

03:19Because even if they are, I've talked about the word feminism,

03:22I think they are sometimes very feminist,

03:24but nevertheless, they remain strongly subject to their companions.

03:28You can't judge Sex and the City with today's eyes.

03:31Obviously, you have to understand it, you have to understand the evolutions,

03:33you have to be able to analyze them.

03:35But you can't say, oh, it's awful, this series, which is white,

03:38which presents perfect bodies, etc., etc.

03:41It's awful.

03:42So, at the time, it was unadvanced.

03:44So yes, today, on the other hand, we see to what extent,

03:47and this is an exercise that is often interesting, to review old series,

03:51but here, suddenly, it marks us to what extent the world has changed,

03:55to what extent these questions are today discussed in a completely different way.

04:00We can see it, moreover, as something rather good.

04:03It's rather good that we have advanced,

04:04it's rather good that we consider that there are unacceptable,

04:07inaudible, invisible things in Sex and the City.

04:18What should be reinvented?

04:22What should be completely reinvented, I don't know,

04:25but in any case, it must take into account all the elements

04:28that are changes, elements that have changed over 20 years.

04:32But if it succeeds, it could also be tremendously interesting.

04:36That is to say, if it succeeds in integrating, precisely,

04:40the change of mentalities around gender, sex, sexuality issues,

04:45if it succeeds in integrating less white characters,

04:48if it succeeds in integrating the age of these heroines,

04:51because they were quadrageneous at the end of the series.

04:54Today, they are 60 years old.

04:56And 60-year-old women in series, it doesn't exist much,

05:00apart from the grandmother's canonical role.

05:02And so, if they really manage to manage this return of the series,

05:08it could be a very interesting season.
