History Film / FiftyShadesOfGrey

The movie also stars Creator/MarciaGayHarden, Jennifer Ehle, Luke Grimes, and Music/RitaOra. It was released on Friday, February 13, 2015. Yes, that's the day before Valentine's Day, folks. [[BlatantLies We're sure it's a coincidence.]] (It's also on [[13IsUnlucky Friday, the Thirteenth]].) The trailer can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdagP6--_-s here]].

* OedipusComplex: While defining that [[ADistinctionWithoutADifference he's a sadist and not a dominant]], Christian admits he gets sexually aroused from punishing women...[[{{Squick}} who resemble his dead mother]]. Not surprised, considering that almost all his former submissive lovers resemble his mother vaguely in looks. Also his FreudianExcuse.

* JealousParent: In "Fifty Shades Freed", Christian comes off as this ''long'' before the big pregnancy announcement, saying how he's not ready to "share her with anybody else yet". Not only does he verbally abuse Ana after the news, he takes off to get drunk and presumably cheat with his ex Elena, then he goes as far as to continue voicing his controlling jealousy over his own unborn child by insulting him and sticking his head up Ana's sweater while she's still wearing it.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: In "Fifty Shades Freed", after Jack kidnaps Mia, abuses Ana and even kicks her in the belly (putting her unborn baby at risk), Ana grabs her gun and shoots Jack in both of the kneecaps before the police arrive.

** Four different variety love triangles between Christian, Ana and two of Christian's exes plus Ana's boss and once again Jose in "Fifty Shades Darker..
** One final love triangle in "Fifty Shades Freed", and that's all during a surprise pregnancy.

* TakeOurWordForIt: [[spoiler:The audience ever get see the bomb Jack Hyde planted in Christian's office go off, nor any of the damage the explosion from it has done. Instead, the whole event is described by Christian's assistant in a video call.]]

* LoveTriangle: A downplayed example. Ana's best friend Jose is in love with her, but she only has eyes for Christian and it barely factors into the plot at all, due to it being made abundantly clear Jose has no chance. Of course, this doesn't stop [[CrazyJealousGuy Christian]] from getting all green-eyed about it.

Two sequels [[TheFilmOfTheBook based on the two sequel novels]], ''Fifty Shades Darker'' and ''Fifty Shades Freed'' [[note]]both were filmed back-to-back[[/note]], were released on February 10, 2017 and February 9, 2018, respectfully.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: ...no, that isn't really Seattle (or Georgia). And unless his office is located on a [[Film/TheAvengers2012 S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier]], the skyline in the movie poster is being shot looking out of a building that physically does not and ''can'' not exist in Seattle.[[note]]For starters, the aerial shot used for the view from the window was taken over a river, from higher up than the space needle.[[/note]]

* BodyDouble: In a case of "like mother, like daughter"[[note]]Dakota Johnson is the daughter of Melanie Griffith, who was quite the MsFanservice in the 70s to 90s[[/note]] mostly averted, but Dakota insisted on a butt double for the scene where Christian gives Ana a spanking with a rod.

* ColorMotif: Gray, of course. Red comes up a lot too, mostly being associated with sex and the forbidden (in particular Christian's 'Red Room').

* MeaninglessMeaningfulWords: When Ana demands an explanation for why Christian is so reluctant to let her be close to him, he gives us this line: “Because I’m fifty shades of fucked up.” WebVideo/HonestTrailers sums it up pretty well:
--> “What does that even ''mean''? That’s not even a common phrase; it’s just related to the dumb title of the book!”

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Poor [[FakeAmerican Jamie]]...

* ShoutOut: The ibuprofen pills and orange juice tagged with "Eat me" and "Drink me" instructions, when Ana wakes from her hangover. Like Alice, she's just stepped into the rabbit hole, and her world is about to become curiouser and curiouser.

* BastardBoyfriend: Christian Grey may as well be the poster child
