Do not listen to anyone who says it's a woman hating porno...it is none of those things. Secretary was much more intense.

"Mr. Grey will see you now." Anastasia (Johnson) is a shy woman about to graduate college with no real plans for her future. When her roommate asks her to interview billionaire Christian Grey (Dornan) for the school paper she nervously accepts. He immediately becomes infatuated with her and does everything he can to win her over. When she finally accepts his invitation to his place she is shocked at what she sees. The two enter into a very strange relationship where neither fully understands what the other wants. This movie is a phenomenon and unless you live under a rock you know what the movie is about. Like you I knew about all the controversy going in and was really looking for what the fuss was about. 50% of the problems people have with the movie has to do with the fact that the woman is so submissive to the man therefore this portrays women in a negative light, by doing whatever a man says. The other 50% says its pornography and should be banned. I am a man but I have to think that all of the people that had this critique about this movie never actually saw it. While the movie does show sex acts rarely seen in a mainstream movie it is done more erotic than pornographic. I don't want to give anything away to the 5 people that haven't seen it or read the book but she is not as submissive as people will have you believe. I look at it as the other way around. For all the hype this movie has behind it, the movie Secretary is much more intense in terms of this subject matter. Overall, it could be because of all the hype surrounding it but I didn't see what the controversy was about. Do not listen to anyone who says it's a woman hating pornoit is none of those things. My wife really enjoyed it, but this wasn't what I was expecting at all. I give it a B-.
