Sex and the City 2

After discussing different cultures and how shows and movies are adapted to conform to the values of these different places where they are aired, I thought of a particular scene in a movie. The scene is from Sex and the City 2. It's when Carrie is in Abu Dahbi with the rest of her friends and she is trying to get the cabs attention. In this scene all the woman including Carrie and her friends are dressed in burqas (fully covered from head to toe) in efforts to get a cab Carrie hikes up her burqa to expose her leg and her stylish high heel. Multiple cabs suddenly stop in hopes that this "daring" woman will get in their cab. I find this scene funny and worth recognizing  because Carrie is an American woman and she is being associated with showing a little more skin to attract the male can drivers. In the culture of Abu Dahbi this is obviously prohibited so the men are attracted to it. The portrayal of a woman being able to use her body to get what she wants is present in this scene and really shows what our culture deems acceptable in films.
