Letter To Young People About the movie Fiftyshades Of Grey by tunezvic(m): 8:38pm On Mar 09, 2015
There’s nothing grey about Fifty Shades
of Grey. It’s all black.
Let me explain.
I help people who are broken inside. Unlike
doctors who use x-rays or blood tests to
determine why someone’s in pain, the
wounds I’m interested in are hidden. I
ask questions, and listen carefully to the
answers. That’s how I discover why the
person in front of me is “bleeding”.
Years of careful listening have taught me a
lot. One thing I’ve learned is that young
people are utterly confused about love –
finding it and keeping it. They make poor
choices, and end up in lots of pain.
I don’t want you to suffer like the people
I see in my office, so I’m warning you
about a new movie called Fifty Shades of
Grey. Even if you don’t see the film, its
message is seeping into our culture, and
could plant some dangerous ideas in your
head. Be prepared.
Fifty Shades of Grey is being released for
Valentine’s Day, so you’ll think it’s a
romance. Don’t fall for it. The movie is
actually about a sick, dangerous
relationship filled with physical and
emotional abuse. It seems glamorous,
because the actors are gorgeous, they have
expensive cars and private planes, and
Beyonce is singing. You might conclude
that Christian and Ana are cool, and that
even though their relationship is different,
it’s acceptable.
Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated
by a Hollywood studio. The people there
just want your money; they have no
concern whatsoever about you and your
dreams.
Abuse is not glamorous or cool. It is never
OK, under any circumstances.
This is what you need to know about Fifty
Shades of Grey: as a child, Christian Grey
was terribly neglected. He is confused
about love because he never experienced
the real thing. In his mind, love is tangled
up with bad feelings like pain and
embarrassment. Christian has pleasure
from controlling and hurting women in
bizarre ways. Anastasia is an immature girl
who falls for Christian’s looks and
wealth, and foolishly goes along with his
desires.
In the real world, this story would end
badly, with Christian in jail, and Ana in a
shelter – or morgue. Or maybe Christian
would continue beating Ana, and she’d
stay and suffer. Either way, their lives
would most definitely not be a fairy tale.
Trust me on this one.
As a doctor, I’m urging you: do NOT see
Fifty Shades of Grey. Get informed, learn
the facts, and explain to your friends why
they shouldn’t see it either.
Here are a few of the dangerous ideas
promoted by Fifty Shades of Grey:
1. Girls want guys like Christian who
order them around and get rough.
No! A psychologically healthy woman
avoids pain. She wants to feel safe,
respected and cared for by a man she can
trust. She dreams about wedding gowns,
not handcuffs.
2. Guys want a girl like Anastasia who is
meek and insecure.
Wrong. A psychologically healthy man
wants a woman who can stand up for
herself. If he is out of line, he wants her to
set him straight.
3. Anastasia exercises free choice when
she consents to being hurt, so no one
can judge her decision.
Flawed logic. Sure, Anastasia had free
choice – and she chose poorly. A self-
destructive decision is a bad decision.
4. Anastasia makes choices about
Christian in a thoughtful and detached
manner.
I doubt that. Christian constantly supplies
Anastasia with alcohol, impairing her
judgement. Also, Anastasia becomes
sexually active with Christian – her first
experience ever – soon after meeting him.
Neuroscience suggests their intimacy could
jump start her feelings of attachment and
trust, before she’s certain he deserved
them. Sex is a powerful, intense experience
– particularly the first time. Finally,
Christian manipulates Anastasia into
signing a legal agreement prohibiting her
from telling anyone that he is a long time
abuser.
Alcohol, sex, manipulation – hardly the
ingredients of a thoughtful, detached
decision.
5. Christian’s emotional problems are
cured by Anastasia’s love.
Only in a movie. In the real world, Christian
wouldn’t change to any significant
degree. If Anastasia was fulfilled by helping
emotionally disturbed people, she should
have become a psychiatrist or social
worker.
6. It’s good to experiment with
sexuality.
Maybe… for adults in a long term, healthy,
committed, monogomous relationship,
AKA “marriage”. Otherwise, you’re at
high risk for STDs, pregnancy, and sexual
assault. It’s wise to be very careful who
you allow to get close to you, physically
and emotionally, because just one
encounter can throw you off track and
change your life forever.
Bottom line: the power of Fifty Shades of
Grey lies in its ability to plant seeds of
doubt. There are vast differences between
healthy and unhealthy relationships, but
the movie blurs those differences, so you
begin to wonder: what’s healthy in a
relationship? What’s sick? There are so
many shades of grey…I’m not sure.
Listen, it’s your safety and future we’re
talking about here. There’s no room for
doubt; an intimate relationship that
includes violence, consensual or not, is
unacceptable.
This is black and white. There are no shades
of grey here. Not even one.

i quite agree with you. the act that was depicted in the movie portrayed physical abuse in a good light. as for the people removing their panties ,it aint about the movie. they are nymphomaniacs in nature.
