Out of pressure, i had to go see this movie, when I came out I was like "thank God its just a movie". Not all movies have a good moral lessons and happy ending and believe me those kinda movies are what brings you closer to the realities in our world. Take heart op the worst is yet to come cheesy
Things like that do happen in real-life too.. The movie was just trying to depict the violent type of love that people exhibit and see as normal.. They left the movie without a happy end so that the viewers won't be any biased in judging such kind of violent influential love.

Hope you read the analogy of dog food as used by someone earlier. In this whole world, how many Shakespeare books would sell 100million if not for school curriculum. Then we have writers like Grisham, Collins, Sheldon, etc. Which of these people's books have sold up to 50million. In fact, I'm not sure many of them have sold 100million combined.

And it's not even about S&M per se, it's about women generally wanting/needing a stronger man than themselves. An alpha male, ya know? wink

Stronger physically because there is 98% chance a woman would marry a stronger man

Alpha male? Nonsense wink. All those shouting alpha are alpha in their pockets... Some women like disrespectful men anyways

I have finally watched the movie and

1. The babe knew what she was getting into.... She even had the opportunity to review the contracts and strike out unfriendly clauses tongue. I see her as an adventurous woman (afterall she was burning with lust before the first sex scene)

2. The guy was extremely honest... He told her who he was from the beginning and showed her his lair forehand grin

3. Abuse? I doubt it. The lady seemed to enjoy it all through till the guy wire her bottom wella. Looking at the stuff sef, I doubt the leather strap and the featherlike stuff he used to beat her was painful. If na that my teachers and parents used to flog me while younger, I might not have felt it tongue.

4. The guy changing her car? We do that for our lovers and friends generally. I don't like my husband's socks or shirts, I can toss them and change (especially if I have told him forehand that they are bad). Infact, if hubby or family decide to toss any of my stuff, change with a newer model biko (sha don't toss something of sentimental value)

5. The people pulling pants must have done so before the arse whooping. That was a terrible way to end the movie angry

The lesson of the movie? Yet to get it

And if Ana said she was not abused, activists should drop it.

Did not see the abuse anyways.

Finally saw this rubbish movie and to be honest, I'm annoyed I wasted my mb on it, there was nothing er*tic about it,miss Dakota didn't bring the fire(where's kerry Washington when you need her) to think someone left her panties in the cinema hall and another was arrested for m*sturbating while the movie was on, is just crazy, yea yea different strokes, different folks but still...

Btw, there was nothing like abuse, the babe knew what she was getting into, very boring movie all the same. angry

Okay I take back my post earlier, finally watched the most talked about movie for 2 years running( even though it was annoyingly edited) and I must say, it's not as bad as the OP said it is..infact I liked it and would really want to read the books (books are normally more detailed to the t" than movies). There was nothing Christian Grey did to Anastacia Steel that she didn't consent to, I hate it when women deliberately walk into a trap and then turn around to act like the victims.
Grey was just an emotionally detached man and Ana was his perfect submissive in every sense of the word. She was a curious, naive, beautiful Virgin who knew nothing about s;ex, she was not acting out the part like Grey's 15* other women. Any woman who walks into such a relationship with all the red flags, needs her head examined. *Virgin:;al fisting, An:al fisting, but;t plugs* shocked Like serioooously?? Mr Grey is one big psycho

Even at that, the movie is very boring is all I know, I didn't see any passion.

What the OP is pointing out is stronger than many of you can imagine of . She was saying that base on how the movie is rumored to contain nudity ,love and sex scene...

Some carnal teenagers might be tempted to watch the movie due to its popularity like Spartacus, But this is a different movie entirely that has the power to influence them to believe a woman enjoy sex that way or there is something special about such Sex position portrayed on the movie set. And in years to come they might want to practice, fancy or keep that idea in their fantasy, and such will deter their love life or their patners .

I awaited 3 things to happen in that movie which didn't happen, with that , I got the message clearly


First I thought the movie was about a fraternity, base of how Grey is rich in such a youthful age.

Second was for Grey to say why He is like that or do what he does

Third was for them to reconcile at last


But none happened....

true.


i think there was some talk about an older woman or something (not sure though) and still doesnt explain why he's that deep into such things at his age.

when/how did he make his money if he had the kind of time needed to major in that lifestyle?

From my own point of view I felt the girl was just being naive she hasn't been in any form of relationship before and that was probably her first ..She had wanted to explore what being in a relationship meant, she opened her self into new things she was not supposed to at the end it was not like she had imagined it was not like all fairy tales usually told....She just had to wake up to the reality that the relationship she is currently in is not a safe one and so she just had to leave...This movie I think its trying to pass a message to all young people out there don't just enter any relationship where you have to be a slave to either a party involved.. A relationship should not be about abuse or subjugation it should be about real and human mutual consent...

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

women like to be rough-handled & dominated...
not necessarily BDS‡M type of dominance- but something similar.
