A film to see

Rating: 7/10 (27 February 2015)

I have read the books and was interested to see how the film would turn out. This is a film about an unusual love story. Mr Grey is young rich, fit and handsome. He does not have a girlfriend. Anastasia interviews Mr Grey for her friend who is the editor of a University paper. Anastasia looks like a nice girl. During the interview, Anastasia ask Mr Grey if he is gay. He does not date. He does not want a girlfriend. Mr Grey - Christian, takes a fancy to Anastasia and tells her about his problem - straight dominant look for a submissive. He presents her with a contract sitting out the terms and conditions of their relationship. Anastasia does not sign the agreement but falls in love with Christian and allows him to take advantage of her - including a spanking and a wiping. This dominant / submissive relationship is not something that most of us know much about.
The film leaves out some of the characters in the book, the Mrs Robinson is talk about in the film but makes no appearance. A flash back of Christian being the submissive might have been good. It might have given some insight to how Christian's developed his interest in punishing the woman he loves.
The book has been referred to as "Mummy porn". The film is a well made and good enough for the public to want to see more. Apart from the punishment, which is very mild in the film. Nothing to upset Mummies. So they will all still be dreaming of a Mr Grey coming into there life. To get the man of your dreams, they might put up with a spanking! Clearly both Christian and Anastasia are in love with each other. It does not have a happy ending, well the ending most people would expect.
I liked the film and the cast were good. So have an open mind and enjoy it.
