What's ironic/sad is that this was written by a woman for women.
Though, granted, about half of this movie's audience can barely be considered "women".
It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.
Half are teenagers, half are moms.
When my mom started to read the trilogy, I gave her an explanation on why it's a harmful book. She understood. Nonetheless, she read, out of curiosity (nothing wrong with that).
She went to see the movie and she was disappointed, saying that it did not correspond to the book. Oddly enough, the thing she did paid attention to more was the Grey's appearance and personality, which was a different from the book (then again, when the book talks about him as looking like a 'Greek god' or something like that, expectations are bound to fall flat).

Me and my cousin asked our grandmother read a couple of chapters. The results were... interesting.

Heh, the number of grandparents in my hometown who took their teenaged granddaughters to see the movie and are now sharing horrified reviews across facebook and the like are astounding.

You can't say that and not tell us how he felt!
" a movie all about a woman submitting to a man's desires comes out. "
The book, not the film. In the film, she uses Grey to her own advantage. She's able to say "no" because you can't bemoan the loss of something you never really had.
She is basically what is called in these circles as a Power Bottom.
She knows she's got what Chris wants. She knows he's got issues. And she uses her position to give herself cool toys in exchange for letting the young businessman work out his issues.

Once again, the Nordic countries are shattering stereotypes.
I'm sorry, but this is too delicious not to share with you all.

First time I ever heard of a rat deserting a ship that's in no immediate danger of sinking.
That all you got?
And so it begins. Come on everyone, hands up. Who saw this coming?

Should have stayed on OnceUponATime. It might have been a live action adaptation of Disney fairytales but it was ten times less outrageous than this film. Much more ennjoyable too.
Sounds like just another BS excuse wannabe rapists make. "I had a rough childhood", "I was drunk", "I thought she was into it", "Look what she was wearing", now "Fifty Shades Of Grey made me do it". I wouldn't necessary put the blame on the movie for this.

Causing freakouts over sourcing since 2018
...not like it will matter much to the Moral Guardians. I remember a news story here featuring a guy claiming that the book made his wife cheat on him. Sure, I spent the entire time laughing at a guy who managed to lose his wife by means of crappy Twilight fan fiction, but not everyone else who read it did.
Via the Daily Mail this, via some wazzock pulling a copyright claim on Youtube stopping the video being on that service comes this two minutes twenty four seconds of Australian joy:
"Yes, 50 shades of Grey is more appalling than appealing. It's domestic violence dressed up as erotica and if there's one thing this movie is not, its erotic."
Preach.
Just saw this on squeewentthefangirl and thought it might interest some of you:

Hannibal Lecter less creepy than Christian Grey? You decide.
There is another.

Fifty Shades of Grey, as told by Christian.
Fuck. They'll make a film of this now as well.
Did you know this section has a character limit?
Oh, so it's still a Twilight fanfic: that's basically Fifty Shades' own Midnight Sun.
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!
I wonder if that means James will be forced to write him, you know, actually doing something business-related?
Considering her blunders when portraying Anastasia's "journalistic" skills, I doubt she'll do a good job.
I'm curious if she'll excuse all his behavior or if he'll look like even more of a psychopath.
Relevant, if one wishes to experience a hilarious critical putdown of this movie:
I couldn't even make it through THAT. I'm so not in this movie's target demographic.
I'm curious if she'll excuse all his behavior or if he'll look like even more of a psychopath.
It'll be both. ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]"){kind=small}
I recall that when I read a sporking of the first book, throughout the entire thing I was convinced that the book had to be leading up to some kind of Gatsby- or Lebowski-esque twist regarding the nature of Christian's wealth. I mean, the book is extremely opaque as to what exactly Christian does for a living, and he seems like he has all the time in the world for messing around, abandoning his workplace and spending millions of dollars on a girl he just met. And despite the fact that he's supposed to be some kind of prodigious self-made man who worked his way up from the bottom, he conveniently has a super-rich mom and family of other rich people. Surely there's something fishy about this whole thing, right? Right?
We were really heading in the direction of strong female protagonists, and now a movie all about a woman submitting to a man's desires comes out.
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!Please don't let this kill the strong female protagonist trend in it's infancy. I wanna see Wonder Woman finally get a movie.
