the weird fantasy of FIFTY SHADES OF GREY

More like fifty shades of red flags... l know this is supposed to be an erotic love story between Christian and Ana but I seriously thought it was a horror movie for a sec.

This movie has to be one of the best examples of two entirely incompatible people completely and utterly wasting their time trying to get the other to become what the other wants. Like, woah.

[@trinaq]

Anastasia: "I won't end up barefoot and pregnant!" She literally ends the final movie both barefoot and pregnant! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@sarahxo2317]

the fact if christian grey was poor and not good looking he would be considered a creep

[@kiraalldredge48]

I saw someone comment once: "if 50 shades of grey took place in a trailer with a poor guy, it would be an episode of Criminal Minds"

[@totallywireddd]

He is considered a creep by almost everyone, the only difference is that Ana (and fans) thinks he is hot so she consents to having him around.

[@christhornycroft3686]

@@totallywireddd And rich. This feeds into the Princess Complex that some girls and women have where they want some rich stud to take care of them. He constantly buys her expensive things so she's stick around and be abused. Basic Instinct was more of a feminist movie than this.

[@trinaq]

With ALL of the red flags that Christian has exhibited over how abusive and controlling he is, you'd swear that Anastasia was colour blind!

[@Blindinglights25]

That weren't even flags anymore but whole curtain's

I can't wait for the day when movies based on Wattpads are no longer made ...

[@GopherCakeStuff]

Why do people act like these sorts of movies/books didn't exist before or outside of Wattpad 🧐

[@DrGregoryHouseIT]

I find it ironic that the actor who played Christian has played an actual serial murderer/rapist in The Fall, an Irish TV series, and that character comes off as less creepy than Christian.

[@sarahhorton631]

Jamie was fantastic the The Fall!! ❤️

[@carameldumpling]

i think Anna could've not been a virgin and the story would still made sense and be a thousand percent less creepy and harmful. her character could be a shy, vainilla girl who meets an experienced man and enters the world of BDSM without it being predatory; she would at least know the limits of what she likes and at that point learned how to set boundaries. the "bad boy who is no good for you" fantasy would still be there for those who enjoy it, but it would take the creepy aspect of the storyline away

[@AaronW-ww4ds]

It was clearly written by someone who knows absolutely nothing about BDSM and just threw literal abuse in the same stance when they're to entirely different things

[@SerenaSkybourne]

true

[@PB-vb4ob]

If I was out at the bar, and some guy I barely know showed up, was like "you're not safe, Im saving you" and kidnapped me to his house, I would be ABSOLUTELY LIVID.

[@malicrain5478]

Can we talk about the fact that the character of Ana is written like a teenager? She is 21 in the first book but she act, think and mature though the story like a teenager would, i found it so creepy

[@IdkIdk-hm6vf]

I get what you’re saying but as someone in their early twenties there’s not much difference in the way a 21 year old and someone in their late teens act

[@LoLovesLife]

@@IdkIdk-hm6vf yep I was super sheltered when I was in high school. I didn't have my first kiss until I was 17 in college. So I kinda related to Anna tbh. The troubling thing for me is that a middle aged woman is writing about a toxic relationship and selling it as wish fulfillment romance.

[@handsoaphandsoap]

I never understood why Anastasia had to be a virgin, it adds nothing and in fact makes the story actively worse. Like, it’s a fanfic trope that makes sense, most readers of fanfiction are teenage girls so they will likely relate to a character who is still a virgin, but it doesn’t add anything to this story as it’s written by an adult woman for other adult women. The story would be a lot stronger if Anastasia had been sexually active prior to meeting Christian, she could’ve been unsatisfied with her sexual life and then runs into this guy with a fetish she hasn’t experienced yet, and she’s intrigued to see if it’s something she’s into. And then maybe she could really be into it which would make sense as to why she sticks around with Christian, he’d still be a garbage person but his dicking is like REALLY good or something and since it’s Anastasia’s first sexual encounter of this nature she might have that perception that Christian is “the one” because of their sexual compatibility. Idk, just some thoughts, I still think they shouldn’t be together in this scenario since there’s no reason why she should settle in a relationship she feels romantically unfulfilled by, but it’d make for a better story at least. Also let’s remove the Christian backstory in this hypothetical iteration, him being abused as a child just makes his character extremely messy instead of him just being a kinky guy with commitment issues.

[@jordanengel6278]

I think she’s a virgin because it’s based off of twilight. It’s a twilight fanfic basically and Bella was a virgin

[@dnister_nymph]

And how sick I am of the "VIRGIN&BAD BOY" trope

[@SerenaSkybourne]

[@chiaralinnea4335]

I never thought you'd cover this series but I'm SO ready for it

[@SerenaSkybourne]

[@briannaupton8839]

I can’t believe these films actually exist lol

[@SocialExperiment232]

Omggg haha this little gem. I never read but tried to watch the first movie. I could not get through 40 minutes. They were the most undesirable relationship I’ve ever seen. The only thing keeping this guy off of “Criminal Minds” is his billions of dollars. Otherwise anyone would think he’s a psychotic stalker. It’s actually quite concerning that all these fantasy romance books all have such abusive relationships, like what are we teaching young girls? It was not fun or entertaining even it was the most boring movie even the sex scenes were not intense or desirable they were so robotic and awkward. What was this even for?

[@TheMetamorphoses2003]

Have I already watched 15 videos talking about 50 Fifty Shades of Grey? Yes. Will I watch another video talking about it? Definitely.

[@AliceWanders]

50 shades isnt based off twilight, it is twilight. It was twilight fanfiction turned into a book/movie. Thats why it reads like a fan fiction. Why it reads like the author has no idea how anything works. Because it IS a fan fiction lol

[@ilovezuko80]

There’s no aftercare sooooo that’s not BDSM

[@ashleyhernandez9155]

THANK YOU. When I first read the books (reluctantly) I felt like I was the only person to say, “This is really messed up.” Everyone I knew was swooning, while I was saying it was glamorizing unhealthy relationships and even abuse.

[@angelaholmes8888]

When I first read fifty shades of grey I was hooked but when I reread the series last year not so much the book series was so different from what I was reading back then I guess that's why I was so hooked into the series

[@rosesmifsud2661]

Its really like he is a sex addict. The problem they make them look like fall in love. And made 3 movies to keep the illness going. IN real life we would arrest him the way treated her that way.

[@isashaniofthexacatecas1997]

I must say that this movie did make me believe that bdsm is a mindless kink.......until I read another romance novel (which I did not know going in that it has bdsm) gave me a clear view of what exactly bdsm is. Granted that the book I read has it in a very toned down and mild way (nothing too aggressive), but now I acknowledge that it is actually so much more controlled and based on consent and care(unlike here where he gives 0 fucks about her care).

[@orangestories5025]

I agree with everything you said! An issue I have with the portrayal of BDSM in this movie is that I believe a healthier way of communicating consent is saying yes to the activities you are willing to do instead of communicating your red lines. Another one is that BDSM is not just the sex or the control, it is also the mutual understanding, the aftercare, the agreement, the coming down from as well as building up a scene. I believe this movie portrays two people with unhealthy understanding of what BDSM is. It is true that control outside of sex can be part of the BDSM agreement, but it must be done only when all parties have a clear understanding of what that means and be on the same page about it.

[@michanone]

Huuuh. Hope that movie didn't scar you too much. 😅 We absolutely didn't need movies like this. If they wanted to make a movie about those things, they should have given them a healthy relationship outside of this...

[@angelaholmes8888]

The big problem with the movie was the fact that Dakota and Jamie had no chemistry together I really wished that Charlie hunnam hadn't dropped out of the role but I understand why he did that

[@AaronW-ww4ds]

Still wouldn't have been much difference as dakota johnson isn't a good actress and her acting in 50 shades was just pure cringe

[@lioness2000]

Yes I´ve been waiting for this for so long! I really like your reviews. I think fifty shades is romantic movie for most of the people because Christian is rich and handsome, but if Christian was ugly and poor it would be horror a movie. I think the same goes with 365 days.

[@gabrielakcedeno]

I remember growing up thinking it’s “romantic” when a guy is intense and controlling and stalking you despite you setting boundaries, because that was soooo common in these romance movies.. it’s so weird though, as an adult I would literally run for the hills 🤣 I’ve read the books and watched the movies and I must agree that romance is definitely not that… Christian was very weird and Anna was wayyy too naive. Love the video!! These reviews are so good! I love how you don’t just give an opinion, but you get into the characters, the acting, the writing etc. really great and entertaining content ⭐️✨

Unfortunately, even though the book was sold to older readers, I know younger readers got their hands on the books, and watched the movies. When I was in high school, some classmates were reading the books and passing along to their friends. I've never watched or read the books, nor want to, but I know for a fact that these books weren't exclusive to the target public

[@lucy-ferprofiler5379]

Never watched the full movie. From what I have seen, the characters have no chemistry and the movie is creepy&cringy. So many disturbing sexual and romantic issues. I don't even understand how can some silly people romanticize " bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism", especially at this age, where there's still a lot of awareness and awakening efforts to be made about feminism, equality between women and men, mental health, the impact of the pornography industry and other disgusting male-dominated representations of women/men on gender equality and sexual and gender-based violence. The mere vision of Anastasia (a virgin!) about to be hit and hurt by a guy and act "as a sex slave" is just utterly repulsive, especially if you think about the other "real" female sex slaves in the world. People into sadism, masochism, submission etc. need to take their mental troubles to the shrink instead of pushing them onto the screen for millions of people to see, including teenagers who don't understand what a healthy relationship looks like, who have been exposed and influenced by pornography and who don't even understand the ramifications, implications, and consequences of such sexual violence and deviance.

[@luminous3115]

I’m sorry, but being into BDSM isn’t a mental problem; and the way it’s shown in this movie is completely inaccurate. BDSM is supposed to be about trust and consent between two knowledgeable adults; which is this movie’s first failure, as Ana doesn’t know the first thing about it. The scene stops when one party wants it stop, no if’s ands or buts. BDSM, between mentally stable adults (which Chris and Ana definitely aren’t), is just something that happens in the bedroom to make sure both parties get the most pleasure out of it. Outside the bedroom, there is no Dom or Sub dynamics; just two people in love, going about their life together. You could walk pass a couple, clearly smitten with eachother and happy together, and they could be involved in BDSM. Being involved in BDSM doesn’t mean they’re unwell, or that they actually hate eachother. It’s just that they have different sexual needs that their partner is willing to help them with in the safety and privacy of their bedroom. They aren’t wrong for liking something different, and especially not if their partner(s) are into it too. So long as proper aftercare is performed as needed, proper research is done, and both parties actually communicate their needs and wants with eachother, everything should be fine. And also, women can be Doms too. There’s plenty of Subs who are men, as well.
