I loved the movie personally. Jamie Dornan although on the other hand could NOT play his part.. He wasn't "rough" enough like the booked played out.. Anna played an amazing role and she done very well in the movie.
I loved it.. Actually loved it lol0 -
I haven't read the book (well, I read the first couple pages as a free preview on my kobo, but couldn't get past the poor writing), and I have no desire to see the movie, but it is my understanding that the "hero" is basically a glorified abuser.

I must admit I haven't read them, but Prince's face and David Bowie's facepalm sums it up pretty well.
She's done the others too
BAHAHA, I read all three book reviews. This woman is absolutely hilarious in her criticisms of the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy.

The existence of this book and movie has sure brought out the way people stereotype middle aged women, married women, women that have children.
Right!!
If you're mom that means you like mommy porn and mommy sex.
I am a mom and currently pregnant and still like being tied up and spanked, even way before these kids came along
How do people think we got pregnant in the first place?
This alone was worth stopping by this thread. Useful edumacation right here.0 -
I read the books.. I enjoyed them. Like most, not because they were well written, but because they were an easy read. I saw the movie- and I knew what I was getting myself into when I did. I enjoyed it. Again, for what it was.
Biggest bone to pick with 50 as a whole. They make it look like you have to of been abused or have some kind of mental illness in order to partake in a BDSM lifestyle.
I'm pretty chemically balanced & I enjoy being suspended from the ceiling.
That is all. Carry on.0 -
its so disappointing that this filth made money this weekend

I'm also a survivor of sexual abuse. The movie was so unrealistic. And it's just fiction. And it wasn't appealing. It didn't have rape in it. I think the movie must be different from the book. At the end she breaks it all off with him. It is portrayed as being a negative experience. Not a positive one (other than all the gentle consensual sex with a strong and capable 21 year old adult). So, as far as this movie goes. I wouldn't worry about it. But, let's teach our kids to know the difference between real life and fictional movies about a dark fantasy. Basic Instinct was a very dark fantasy as well. And let's trust that adult women can watch a movie and not try to replicate it without educating themselves. I was harmed in my past by abuse in real life. Not by any movie or book. And the conversations that are happening are educating people (and young people). I watched it because I felt I needed to know something about it before condemning it.0

50 Shades of Grey if it was written by a man:
At the touch of her lips, it grew long and swollen. I sighed as she squeezed and pulled expertly. It was the best balloon giraffe I'd seen
As I lay there on the floor, my naked body covered in treacle and whipped cream, I heard those inevitable words . . . 'Clean up on aisle 3.'
She leant over the kitchen table. 'Smack that bottom,' she squealed, 'Smack it hard!' 'I am,' I said, 'But the ketchup just won't come out.'

Saw the movie - a complete and total waste of time and money. Worst movie ever!!!0

I also watched Secretary like everyone recommended. That was about two emotional unhealthy people and was definitely very abusive. I wouldn't consider that a good representation of the bdsm lifestyle from the way people describe it, and I hope most people are doing it from a healthy place.0

The guy they have playing Mr. Grey is just not attractive imo. They could of found a better looking guy. Just saying...0

It's strange because I don't like the movie. But, I also don't like people spreading upsetting misinformation. I read a woman's letter to her daughter and she describes these very gentle and consensual sex scenes as violent rapes. Maybe it was in the book. I agree it was emotionally unhealthy and manipulative in the movie. But the sex scenes were gentle, consensual, mutual, and pleasurable. He doesn't do anything without her consent.0

Based upon your use of the word "retarded" in this instance, I am sure the books are right in your wheelhouse.0 -

Yeah, that made me almost as sick as the abusive/controlling scenes in the book. This planet is full of morons.

Here's the point that everyone misses about these books. Ana is an innocent in the beginning who meets a guy who lives (supposedly) a BDSM lifestyle. He finds her intriguing and is drawn to her. When she does end up in his bed, they have "vanilla" sex, her way. Gently. When he presents her with the contract, she never signs it. When they go into his "room", they never do anything more than what Ana wants to do. The one time Christian goes to far and hurts Ana, she leaves him. Christian is so crushed by losing her, he promises to always do whatever she wants to get her back.
Ana RUNS the relationship. From day one. No one seems to get that. Yes, the books are poorly written. Yes, the characters are two-dimensional and unrealistic. Yes, many of us (myself included) skipped the overbearing number of sex scenes.
But these books made millions of dollars for EL James. and millions more for the movie rights. Why? Because women (probably subconsciously) connected to something in them. Empowerment hides in the pages of these books. Ana controls Christian from the day they meet. Their sex life, the other woman in his life, where they live, the child they have. When she's threatened, she helps to save herself. She solves the mystery of Christian's past and heals him.
It's not about porn, or romance. It's about women's power. Undoubtedly.0 -

What exactly do you mean by retarded? Because I'm sure you're not comparing the movie to a mentally challenged person are you?

I bet the majority of people watching it are just watching it to "see how bad it is" from everyone talking about it so much.0

That was the impression I got from the movie. My husband was saying people would probably be less upset if she was portrayed as a victim and him as a villian. And he finds that odd and an interesting thing about the psychology of this.

In a normal, healthy relationship, usually the person who wants sex the least controls it. What's done, how often, etc., all are controlled by the less willing party.
Not in this case - she wants it, she just controls how it's done. Remember, she's a virgin at the start of the relationship, and very attracted to him.
