Stuff that's missing

Rating: 5/10 (14 February 2015)

I think the movie went as far as it could, Maybe that was due to some form of self-censorship on the part of the director, It would not have been possible to show the sheer intensity of a full on BDSM relationship. Certainly E L James didn't put that over in her book either---maybe she was unaware of it. There are far better books out there that deal with this subject from RL experience. try reading Need by Francesca Anderssen, That book really shows what's going on inside the submissive's head. She certainly doesn't need 'persuading' like Anastasia. But then, in RL no Dom would take up with a virgin--BDSM or any other variety. The movie just doesn't get that part right. Submissives invariably know what they want, and choose the dominant to give it. It would be good to find a movie that puts over the multi-orgasmic intensity of BDSM--but maybe the general audience wouldn't believe that either. That wouldn't lessen the truth of it though
