故事发生在1984年,不过我却有点不敢相信。或者说,我根本不了解时代和时尚。那个时候,interview的时尚编辑就可以是黑人女人了。可是为什么到现在,有人依然高呼"Black lives matter.""Girls just want some fundamental rights."那个时候Walt家人都是W.A.S.P.但他依然勇敢地出柜了,可是如果现在发现自己是gay还是要像小狮子一样斗争和自我思考的。那么,是这个故事纯属瞎编吗?一切都是杜撰的?我真的没法说一二,但是我觉得Things are never easy.
ohhh,最重要的爱情的部分来了,Sebastian Kydd我觉得他长得不是很帅啊,但是他和Carrie分分合合,但两个人也许在暑假里一起游泳时就已经注定要爱对方了。当他试图亲Carrie却被她推下水,也把她自己带跑时,两个人真的已经会在一起了。也许会争吵,这是必然会发生的。可当我想到两个人坐在学校的长椅,Carrie还没有怎么蜕变时,她穿着高跟鞋,画着高中女生不浓郁但也不清淡的妆和一头小卷金发时,他也梳着利落的头发,穿着黑夹克和一条长长的牛仔裤时,这真的是每个喜欢高中爱情的人都梦寐以求的场景吧。她带着不怎么张扬的挂坠,手中拿着令女生们喜爱的大笔记本;他背着黑色的书包,有着每个男生期望的身高。这也许是刻板印象吧,但一切还能再美好点吗? . . . 我真的真的十分喜欢那个追逐梦想,向往曼哈顿的幸运的女孩。她有朋友,有爱人。她有自己热爱的事业和生活,即使当这一切还没来到她身旁时,她已经开始在日记本上开始写下这一切了。那个夜凉如水的夜晚,她的房间被微黄的灯光温暖地充盈着,她写下了Mouse和Seth的爱情,Maggie和Walt的纠缠和她自己。She is definitely gonna have the life she wants.
They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, that looking into someone's eyes is to know the truth, to know what's real. The same could be said for the city that never sleeps. It's honest and totally awesome.
Pinocchio(匹诺曹) was a puppet that wanted to be a real boy. All he had to do was be truthful, and his wish would come true. And even then, he couldn't help but lie.
Doing the right thing is hard. Maybe because lying is often easier than the truth. And sometimes it actually gets what you want. But at some point, like Pinocchio's nose, the lies just keep growing until it's hard to tell what's real and what's not. And we can either live in that world of make-believe or face the truth and everything that comes with it.

【S01E03】"Read before use"
Let's face it. Life is easier if you read the labels, like "Do not put it in dryer" "Expiration date: one week ago". Everyting we wear, everything we eat--they all have labels. The same is true for everyone we know, "Stoner(酒鬼)" "Class clown" "Well-meaning but ultimately clueless guidance counselor" and "The boy of my deams".
Now I knew what it said on Sebastion(人名)'s label--"Contents under pressure, handle with care". Unfortunately, I never bothered to read it. That's the tricky thing about labels.
Once in a while, they tell us everything we need to know. But most of the time, it's only a very small part of the story. Slapping a word or two on a person can make things worse. In reality, nothing is ever as simple as the label we give it.
——————————————————————————————————————————
【S01E04】"Fright Night"
The scarest thing in high school: when someone breaks your heart, it's such a small place that you can't avoid them. It's ironic. The time in your life when you're least capable of managing your emotions is the same time you're locked up for eight hours a day with the people responsible for those emotions in the first place. It was like I was living in my own personal horror film--"The Rise of the Boy who Broke My Heart". And apparently it was playing everywhere.
Valentine's day is about love. Christmas is about giving. Arbor day(植树节) is about trees, I guess. I get celebrating all those things, but Halloween? Halloween is a holiday where we put on costumes and try on different versions of ourselves--the princess, the demon(恶魔), the bird flying free.
It's fun not to be "us", and to not have to face the reality of who we really are and the things that scare us, like our vulnerabilities(脆弱), or what we really want for ourselves, or our fear of change and what it will inevitably(必然地) bring. Being someone else for a night can be fun or scary. Either way, it's only one night, and when the masks are off and we're being ourselves again, we have nothing to hide behind, and maybe that's okey.
But my night in Manhattan(曼哈顿) had taught me one thing: No matter what you're going through, it's always better if you have people to share it with. I was lucky, I wasn't an island at all.
——————————————————————————————————————————
【S01E05】"Dangerous territory"
When we think about entering new unchartered(未知的) territory, it always comes with the idea that we forge ahead. And that's true to some degree. But often to forge ahead, we have to look back to understand what we're leaving behind. And it can be scary because behind us, there are often blind spots--things we want to ignore or couldn't even see, that can stop us from our journey forward, but only if you let them.
At some point, you have to let go of the past and stop looking behind and embrace what comes next. I was entering new territory, moving on, letting go of the old. My mom was right: Sometimes change is good.
——————————————————————————————————————————
【S01E06】"endgame"
When we focus too much on our endgame(结局), we can miss the fun of the journey, we can miss the detour(绕道) that would take us somewhere even more rewarding.
We like to set goals, because they give us a feeling of control. But control is an illusion, because sometimes the earth moves, and we have to deal with wherever we end up, whether it's on solid ground or not.
——————————————————————————————————————————
【S01E07】"caught"
We all feel caught at some point or another between choices. As the Band Devo(退化乐队) said, "Freedom of chioce is what we want. Freedom from choice is what we need." Having choice, at first, feels exciting, but after a while it can also be overwhelming, like we're trapped with no clear way out. If you're lucky, you might find someone is there to catch you when you finally escape the web. But most of the time, it's harder.
Some people get caught between their secrets and wanting to do the right thing, while others are caught between their desires and their ambitions.
I was faced with tough decision, for sure. But I no longer felt caught between what I wanted and what my dad wanted. I realized this was my life, and I wasn't going to have any regrets.
——————————————————————————————————————————
【S01E08】"hush hush" 保密
We all have secrets. when we're little, they start off innocent--A hiding place, a stash(藏匿处) of candy, a hush-hush crush. But as we get older, our secrets get bigger and better.
Often what we want, what we desire is something we keep deep inside of us. Something so dear and so special, it feels too scary to let it out into the open. It's our own little secret, and therefore, safe from harm. But maybe we have to let those secrets out in order to actually really live. The fallout from those secrets being revealed is often hard, or sometimes surprising and maybe even inevitable.
I wasn't given a choice, but I think I was relieved that all my secrets were out. And even though I was scared, I was also relieved not to have to hide my feelings anymore. It wasn't much, but it's a start.

人这一生要寻找自我,真的是每一个人必过的槛。不管是为了去追逐自己真正喜欢的事业还是去爱自己爱的人,都真的永远不可能一下就能了得。可是人们为了走捷径,总是在犯错,也许会失去友情,失去他人乃至亲人对自己的信赖。但最重要的是,自己还是自己,不管发现自己犯了什么错,当你用真诚和充满热爱的自我对待他人,找到自己,那一切都会过去,一切都会发展,一步一步好起来的。这个道?理?,我们在大大小小的教训中其实都能知道,但是到自己真的在度过人生中的一道道槛的时候,在犯错时会忘记,但是仍会用真心去弥补。将来回想年轻时,就会觉得人生还真是印证了这个道理。
Carrie有绚烂的生活。从小到大的好朋友,Mouse、Maggie和Walt,四个人挤在小餐厅的椅子上,吃着东西,谈论爱情和学业。Carrie的妈妈在她高二时去世了,但她很像她的妈妈,无论是写作还是对曼哈顿这座城市和时尚的热爱。看到她家里她的房间的布置,是个有梦想的可爱女孩啊。衣服一套一套,从高中女生到Interview的时尚职员,衣服变的越来越花哨,我真的是喜欢她每一个阶段的衣服。爸爸是律师,虽然成了寡夫,但依然能够教育女儿们。小妹Dorrit正十分叛逆,吸大麻,喜欢性手枪乐队,但她也许其实是内心最柔软的那一个。当她用自己的方式表达不满情绪,虽然会离家出走,但在关键的时候,她也总是理解姐姐Carrie和这个家。
ohhh,最重要的爱情的部分来了,Sebastian Kydd我觉得他长得不是很帅啊,但是他和Carrie分分合合,但两个人也许在暑假里一起游泳时就已经注定要爱对方了。当他试图亲Carrie却被她推下水,也把她自己带跑时,两个人真的已经会在一起了。也许会争吵,这是必然会发生的。可当我想到两个人坐在学校的长椅,Carrie还没有怎么蜕变时,她穿着高跟鞋,画着高中女生不浓郁但也不清淡的妆和一头小卷金发时,他也梳着利落的头发,穿着黑夹克和一条长长的牛仔裤时,这真的是每个喜欢高中爱情的人都梦寐以求的场景吧。她带着不怎么张扬的挂坠,手中拿着令女生们喜爱的大笔记本;他背着黑色的书包,有着每个男生期望的身高。这也许是刻板印象吧,但一切还能再美好点吗?
.

.
我真的真的十分喜欢那个追逐梦想,向往曼哈顿的幸运的女孩。她有朋友,有爱人。她有自己热爱的事业和生活,即使当这一切还没来到她身旁时,她已经开始在日记本上开始写下这一切了。那个夜凉如水的夜晚,她的房间被微黄的灯光温暖地充盈着,她写下了Mouse和Seth的爱情,Maggie和Walt的纠缠和她自己。She is definitely gonna have the life she wants.
最后,我想起Larissa让Carrie协助她偷衣服的故事,Larrisa怎么会缺钱呢,作为时尚编辑她的衣服也从来不会少啊,可是她自己说了,她喜欢这种刺激。虽然她也一样有时很脆弱,从来不会忘记追逐那种自己和刺激,和那种自己渴望的生活。
Carrie is always there,running and chasing her life.So should me.
1998年至2004年,单身的美女作家凯瑞在HBO的热播剧《欲望都市》中,用她昂贵高跟鞋所踩出的每一记鼓点都被观看这部剧集的女人们记下。那声音,就是关于欲望的进行曲。直到现在,她们都牢记:达成欲望的最好武器是由承载着欲望的鞋子、提包、外套、耳环、项链来组成。
十多年过去了,《欲望都市》的时尚风潮依然热烈不散,就算是原班人马在2008年和2010年分别用两部电影版榨取了剧集的剩余价值,依然无法阻挡时尚icon留下的围观效应,不过,考虑到以莎拉·杰西卡·帕克为首的四位欲女演员的年纪加起来过了200岁,以及凯莉和Mr.BIG纠缠十多年的感情以婚礼告终,本剧的持续繁衍度已经岌岌可危,可是擅长打造少男少女时尚偶像的CW台用拍前传的形式让《欲望都市》进行了一场逆时光进化,故事将瞄准1984年的凯莉· 布莱德肖,只有16岁的她在康涅狄格州郊区的高中生活,以及之后初到曼哈顿的新鲜体验,剧集有一个相当少女的名字:《凯莉日记》。
80年代复古能否打造新时尚传说
《凯莉日记》改编自《欲望都市》原作者坎迪斯·布什奈尔的同名作品,从凯莉的少女时代入手,讲述了她在郊区读高中时的生活,16岁的她刚遭受了母亲去世的打击,父亲无法应对突变,妹妹更无比叛逆,尽管英俊的转校生为她带来了初恋的兴奋,但凯莉依然提不起精神,直到父亲提出把她送去曼哈顿的律所实习。纽约的光怪陆离与繁华时尚第一时间迷倒了凯瑞,初到大城市的她爱上了曼哈顿的生活方式和现代气息,并不顾一切的加入了这场时尚传说。
时尚影视作品从来都是时尚的驱动力,从《欲望都市》到《绯闻女孩》都在华服名牌的营造上取得了巨大的成功,那些绚烂斑驳和不顾一切的引人注目,挑逗的是每一个女性内心蠢蠢欲动的梦想,凯莉的高跟鞋与衣服比她的爱情更为动人,名牌包包和英伦范儿比情节来得更有吸引力,既然如此,老套的麻雀变凤凰的故事,灰姑娘遇到王子的爱情,则可以在不同种类时尚华服的再包装下、再繁衍中,名正言顺的变身为不同凡响的吸金大户。
作为CW台在今秋力推的新剧,《凯莉日记》郑重其事的打出了《绯闻女孩》幕后设计团队的大名,更详尽展现了“少女凯莉”的各种造型对比,80年代的流行元素在蓬蓬裙、波点衫、亮片装上精美体现,时下流行的复古风潮进而呼之欲出,本剧在时尚感染力上的野心可见一斑。不过,拥有此番野心的《凯莉日记》于诸多时尚剧珠玉在前的压力下,显得有些争议,外媒认为本剧略显山寨廉价,华服设计毫无借鉴性和养眼度,整体缺乏大牌剧气场。
而这种逆时光进化到80年代的时尚前传剧,CW台早在《绯闻女孩》时候就有过失败的先例,本来希望以女主角Selina的母亲在80年代的经历出品衍生剧,当时就因女主角没有观众缘、没有过硬情节,以及过于夸张而平庸的上世纪服饰挑战现代人审美而遭到诟病和腰斩。
90后少女能否担纲时尚icon凯瑞?
其实早在2010年,《欲望都市》电影版的导演迈克尔·帕特里克·金就曾表示,正在考虑拍一部《欲望都市》前传,影片将以坎迪斯·布什奈尔的另一部新作品《夏季都市》为基础进行改编,这个项目至今仍被搁置,而关于谁来扮演凯莉在当时曾产生过巨大争议,布蕾克·莱弗利和麦莉·赛勒斯都进入过“少女凯莉”的表演者名单,但“夏洛特”的扮演者克里斯汀·戴维斯就放话说:“我对《欲望都市前传》没兴趣,我们就是我们,之前的电视剧里已经把我们的历史讨论个够,想不通他们为什么还要炒冷饭?更奇怪的是,其他演员来演我们,感觉莫名其妙。”莎拉·杰茜卡·帕克也不屑的说:“即使前传拍成电影,和《欲望都市》也没什么关系,新电影不可能做到人物重现。”
这些抗议和争议无疑让后来剧集版“少女凯莉”的选角面临着巨大压力,而1993年出生的少女安娜索菲亚·罗伯则成为了这位迎风而上的幸运儿,作为一枚在演艺圈打拼了多年的童星,安娜索菲娅的演艺生涯大概从五岁登上舞台那刻便开启了,她最有名的大银幕亮相则是多年前在《查理与巧克力工厂》中扮演爱捉弄人的小姑娘维奥莱特,此后通过在《多疑的托马斯》、《有梦就去闯》、《梦游》、《心灵传输者》以及《仙境之桥》等一系列影片中的精彩表演,她成为了像达科塔·范宁般受到人们喜爱的小童星。2011年初上映的励志题材影片《灵魂冲浪》她出演了一位坚强的残疾姑娘最终战胜绝望,影评风评不佳,但安娜索菲娅的美貌却令人过目不忘。
CW台选择她出演时尚icon凯莉也是棋行险招,毕竟她的圆脸圆身的外形和“老凯莉”的长脸瘦削大相径庭,举手投足更欠缺从容和文艺气质,整个人的过分乖巧和个性不足使其无法Hold住凯莉标志性的蓬勃金发,好在《凯莉日记》有少女心和逆时光做看点和借口,就算有争议,依然是话题,理所当然的成为了今秋最受期待的新剧之一。

既然是凯莉日记还是从女主Carrie说起,我觉得她就是一彻头彻尾的白痴,貌似是一个乖乖女,但是明眼人都看得出来她根本做不到,她做不到对父亲坦白,做不到体贴男友,还总是没事找事,仿佛傻笑就能解决所有问题。反而是Sebastian,从他的身份背景,富二代,父母离异,被学校开除,我会以为他是一个只会无度享乐的坏小子,可是他却反常得优秀,当然不单是帅气,性格也很好,可以和Carrie的朋友们和妹妹打成一片,很重视一段感情,尊重女孩子,对母亲也体现出男子汉的责任感。n n另一个我比较不能接受的就是Mouse,一副做作的样子,难道好学生都这样吗?做的一切事情都是为了成绩,甚至可以有点不择手段,我理解她有上进心,但做事也要有度,也许这就是中式教育和西式教育混合的结果。Maggie我倒是很喜欢,笑容很美,不做作,她的标签是drama queen,但是哪个女孩子不是戏剧女王呢,除非她过于自卑了,有资本的自信女孩都是drama queen。说完三姐妹,再说看起来是她们共同的死敌Donna,她会让人越来越爱吧,有一说一,好相处,至少不虚伪做作,倒是嚣张了点,像个bitch,但确实不坏,难怪Walt就和她很相处得来,相比起三姐妹谁不开心就只会抱抱,我更喜欢可以和Donna真正说说。n n女主的妹妹,Dorrit,反正也作不出什么乱子来,下次偷溜的时候不如不找她,就觉得没意思了吧,但是我突然觉得这想法好可悲,因为我是独生子女,可能永远体会不了兄弟姐妹之间那种即使吵架千遍仍旧彼此担心的感觉。最后就是一直以来奇葩的存在Larissa,每个女孩儿都渴望有一个这样时尚的亲切的引导者吧,几句话就说服女主爸爸同意她在曼哈顿的一切了,总觉得她在这座城市如鱼得水太简单了点,没有烦恼,还是酋长的女儿,总之就是不可思议。
首先,Sebastian不是处男了,Carrie还是处女,要破处的是carrie,口口声声说这个晚上多么多么重要的是carrie,不是Sebastian。结果Sebastian很配合,很体贴,有点什么事都说没关系。而carrie呢?她不知道这个party他们杂志是来工作的吗?就为了所谓的工作把男友撂一边。为那个采访值得吗?而且在走向采访对象时Sebastian已经一张苦瓜脸了,carrie看不出来?这之前Sebastian已经一个人在喝闷酒了——典型的不开心的标志。carrie都看不出来?大概在carrie的世界里只有她自己,所有人都得无条件配合自己。但是世界不是围着她转的,最后悲剧也只能活该。
