Women are a confused bunch. The book this movie was adapted from has sold over 100 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 50 languages. The book was mostly bought by women, about 90% grin.

The OP does not speak for women worldwide. If she doesn't like it, she doesn't have to condemn it. Stop the hypocrisy.

That movie is nothing short of nonsense and to think it's making waves across the cinemas, the was jam packed!

Aside from the ugly and inhumane messages of controlling others to do your bidding, I find it very boring to say the least!

I was thinking if it were to be a Nigerian movie, it would have gotten so much backlash but I guess the whites can't go wrong ....pure bull shit!
You think women will come online and tell you they like it rough? Dey deia dey jonze. There's a reason cinemas worldwide are jammed full with women. Aren't the book and movie supposed to be misogynistic? How come women are getting all tingly at the premise and screenplay.

Think about that for a minute. wink

In a world where p0rn is the most googled word.

In a world where Internet p0rn accounts for half of readily availlable and downloaded Internet content.

Why most a movie with a strict PG rating elicit so much concern?

@ OP Pls keep ur opinons to urself, if ur not into BD&SM doesnt rly mean everybody ain't into it. Some persons see it as a lifestyle.
Its simple,, if u don't like it den watch or read it!!! grin
Re: A Letter To My Children About Fifty Shades Of Grey by TrishaP(f): 8:10am On Feb 19, 2015
I won't be surprised if the movie gets banned in nigeria too. That movie is an epitome of corruption for our upcoming youths.
IMO,...I think it's preferable to read the book and save thoughts than watching the movie and doing practical.

I found the books deeply disturbing and couldn't even complete them. If what Christian Grey did to Ana is love, then I suggest men kept their emotions to themselves.

It's weird the kind of things we glorify in this age. Lack of respect. SM (?). Bad behavior accompanied by excuses.
Or the date a bad guy and try taming him hogwash. That's nonsense.
And to imagine the books sold over a 100 million copies with a very unattractive plotline and bad storytelling. The world is crazy undecided

Anyway, I applaud the writer of this piece. Violence is not love. Irrespective of 'sexy' fantasies, no man should have to manipulate and disregard a woman like Mr Grey did, and no woman should have to listen to useless excuses like he gave, nor let him talk her into believing she's really in charge undecided (But of course she enjoyed it up to the point he used an actual whip on her shocked)

Already made up my mind not to see the movie. Can't imagine how disturbed I'll be if I have to put a face to the disturbing images from the books.


P.S Women are strange creatures sha. They'll say no man should call them 'properties', yet get all tingly when a man treats an imaginary character as such.
Dark fantasies everywhere cheesy

Popular things ds dayz are nt jst right...it is getting to a point where rape, S&M and assault are creeping into our minds quite unconsciously thru movies/songs/social media...soon, all ds once bad/negative/criminal/jailable/capital-punishable offences are going 2b seen as normal stuff...chastity has gone 2d dogs

Fair enough. Everybody should speak for themselves and not try to dictate the taste of others, overtly or covertly.

If anybody wants to hit their partner during sexx, they should prepare to get hit. Period.

Thanks Grandma for your advice as usual, like you rightly said peer pressure pushed you to watch it and after seeing it, you gave your verdict,

I promise not to let peer pressure force me to see this movie, I will willingly determine to go and see it, then after i will come here and give my verdict.

Realize that your comment was intentionally cynical and unfriendly....and directed towards one with positive and good intentions.

Not worth it. Get a torrent download if you have to, even then, you'd likely be pissed off at the data and time you wasted.
Re: A Letter To My Children About Fifty Shades Of Grey by prodiG(m): 8:27am On Feb 19, 2015

i just wasted $100 going to the cinema to watch that crap.
Re: A Letter To My Children About Fifty Shades Of Grey by sweetrace(f): 8:28am On Feb 19, 2015
The Move is based on the first part of a triology. I read all and enjoyed every single one. I'm not going to watch the movie because I'm sure it can never do justice to the book, and I don't want to watch real live naked bodies. The author of the letter should get real. Fifty shades does not pretend to be something it isn't.
