Well you're absolutely right in all aspects except one. The story isn't glorifying the violent sexual behavior. The story,as you may or may not know,is adapted from a book and it has 2 sequels. I think when you read or watch the other parts,you'll realize the story is condemning that type of sexual behavior and trying to teach women to stand up to being treated like that |

If the novel was indeed written by a Woman like I heard, and the screenplay adaptation was also written by a Woman, and the movie was directed by a Woman, and the movie was edited by a Woman, then who is prof800 to comment on this? I saw it on IMDb but refused to rate it. After all what do I know about women's conflicting desires. |

candygosh:Just like songs can in a matter of seconds change your mood,so does movies have very strong effects on the mind,lets take for instance,a kid watches Spiderman or The Expendables,the gun battles and violent scenes tend to filter into the kids mind,ever wondered why kids that watch lots of these kind of movies tend to like playing with toy gunsits a mind control thing,soon it becomes a trend,guys will see it as a norm cos they've been programmed by these movies that you can make a girl or lady do anything even against her will once you have the wealth,you have the power.You can check Subliminal messages on youtube so you get a better understanding. 3 Likes |

I can't believe this OP. You have just overhyped this book/movie. A friend sent me the eBook and I find it boring, except for the sex-scenes. Even the sex-scenes are badly written, I swear, I can write 'kinkier' than that. The grammar, the plot and the characters self. I just kept flipping the pages till I got to the end. Mtcheeeew.. At a point, I wished the book was written by Jackie Collins (Author of Lovers and Gamblers). The author of Fifty shades of grey just mashed her own fantasies haphazardly together and more than 100 million people have paid for that crap.. 5 Likes |

One of the most disgusting movies I have wasted money on in a long time. OP. . . Your letter is soooooooooo out of point. Judging by the reviews from movie critics and movie goers alike, only one conclusion can be derived. THE MOVIE IS TRASH [b]If someone wants to be with you, turning up at your part-time job unannounced when you haven’t ever even discussed that you have one and acting possessive when a co-worker talks to you is not romantic. It’s creepy. I doubt any child in his or her sane mind would NOT believe all these INSTINCTIVELY. . . UNLESS HE OR SHE WAS INDOCTRINATED BY A SICK ADULT in his or her life. My children, this film was deeply disturbing to me, and I have life experience on my side. I shudder to think that you are going to grow up with stories like this to model relationships on and that you or the people you date will mistake this for ‘normal.’ Please, give the children credit. Apparently, you forgot 2 VERRRRRRRRRRRRY important things. 1. THE SEXUAL-DEVIANTEE portrayed by JAMIE DOMAN aka CHRISTIAN GREY was ONCE A CHILD MOLESTED AND TORTURED BY A FEMALE-MONSTER-RELATIVE-AUNT in his youth and NO ONE IN HIS FAMILY KNEW/KNOWS ABOUT IT. The demon was created by a PEDO-PHILE within the family. HE NEEDS HELP. . . .I MEAN LIFE-LONG THERAPY!!!!! As you could well tell. . . HIS NUCLEAR FAMILY SEEMED VERY NORMAL and could not wait for him to SETTLE DOWN. They could never understand why he changed partners and could not seem to settle down 2. The fact that 15 WOMEN had rejected such a SEXUAL-PSYCHO, AND HIS INFAMOUS 'RED ROOM OF S&M' in the past, and DAKOTA JOHNSON aka ANASTASIA STEELE also REJECTED HIS ADVANCES in the guise of 'LOVE AND ROMANCE'. . . . makes the world believe that women and are not as gullible as your letter makes them out to be, even as children. As a child, HE DID NOT HAVE A CHOICE to be PSYCHOTIC, but he was decent enough to offer his VICTIMS the choice he NEVER HAD. The women WERE NOT CHILDREN. . . .and they had freeeee will WITH A WRITTEN CONTRACT to back out at anytime. Christian Grey never went after children, but grown women with FREE WILL!!!! I think that was very noble of him and I was sooooooooooooooo, very thankful for that!!! Instead of writing your letter to 'YOUR CHILDREN'. . . , You need to address your concerns to THE PEDO-PHILES within A FAMILY UNIT. . . .the real victim is CHRISTIAN GREY. . . WHO SEEMED TO BE LOOKING FOR LOVE ENDLESSLY, WHILE CRYING FOR HELP. He expressed love, the only way he knew how to. He even realized he was not 'normal' and warned all females about the 'terms of the contract'. . . . HE DID NOT FORCE ANY FEMALE TO ABIDE BY HIS TERMS. . . HE DID NOT KILL ANY OF THEM!!!! AMEN!!!! CHRISTIAN GREY is a VICTIM and product of his environment, like ALL SERIAL KILLERS AND PEDO-PHILES IN THE WORLD! ADULTS USUALLY SOW THE SEEDS OF EVIL IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF CHILDREN. All I could see is a handsome, young man struggling so hard to be normal, despite his PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA he had to endure and can't seem to break free from! We, as adults have to deal with the MONSTERS we create and breed in our dysfunctional world. Thank you! 7 Likes 1 Share |

This shyt is so boring, I fell asleep while reading it. Reads like a law text, the author can't write to save her own life. And to think that people are here thinking its all that... Even the sex-scenes are not well delivered. All I see is a sexual predator and a young lady (Ana) getting blown away by all the new sensations, nothing special, nothing at all. I will not watch the movie for free cos I'm sure I'm gonna be so irritated watching Grey punishing Ana all in the name of Fantasies... Cane na cane, koboko na koboko and punishment na punishment jare. No one should mix pleasure with stupidity The eBook is TRASH The movie too will surely be TRASH.. Yes, I say so! *** The dominant shall do this... The submissive shall do this...blah blah blah Boring like heck. 6 Likes

macaphan007: Oh pls. Movies or moving pictures have no effect on my mind. Only sick people I guess. When I say sick, it's not illness. The mentally disturbed people necrophilia n co. And yes I know what subliminal messages are. If u have visited a porn site u would see that there's a section called BDSM so what I visit there. Does it mean I fantasise about it? It has no effect on me. And I still say it's just a movie! 1 Like |

UjSizzle: I'm telling you! You are right. The world has really gone crazy! A girl I had a very high opinion of read the book and couldn't stop praising it so I decided to read it too. I must say I only managed to complete the first part of the trilogy and till date I'm yet to understand what the whole hullabaloo about the book is all about. For all the hype surrounding it, I didn't find the book engaging at all. But maybe, like a reviewer of the book once stated, girls who go gaga about the book do so probably because the Christian Grey character fulfills some fantasy in their minds since he's a billionaire, he's very good in bed, and of course, he's so damaged and needs someone to work on him. 2 Likes |

candygosh:Don't get me wrong,its not everyone that has much control over their minds,some people have feeble minds hence they can easily be manipulated,and not matter how strong a mind is,constant exposure to these visual may distort it.whatever you feed your eyes,goes straight into you mind,how do you think Terrorist are made?brainwashing and constant exposure to violent scenes,its the same way they can programme someone's mind with having physical contact with them.So sis don't get me wrong at all.its could be "just" a movie to you. |
