Fifty Shades Fan of Books & Movie

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2015)

I usually don't write reviews, but I feel that I need to write this one. I have been a fan of the books since they came out. I thoroughly enjoyed reading them and couldn't wait for the movie to come out and I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed it and thought it was AMAZING!!! The movie was true to the book as much as possible. Of course, some scenes in the books were left out of the movie, but if they were put in the movie then it would have been a four hour movie. I was a little apprehensive regarding the people playing Christian & Ana, but I have to say that Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson were perfect for the parts. They both brought out the characters beautifully.
For people who are giving bad reviews, you really didn't understand the movie. It's not just about BDSM and it's not about an abusive relationship. It's also not PORN like people are making it out to be. Yes there is a lot of sex, but there are a lot of movies out there about sex. The sex scenes in the movie were done tastefully. It's a story about a complicated and troubled love relationship between a successful young billionaire and a sweet innocent young girl. Christian has a troubled past and is used to things a certain way and he meets Ana, who changes his ways even though he fights it. The books go into more depth of their relationship. What they do in their relationship is consensual. He never rapes her. She wants to try new things, but tells him her limits and he abides by them.
People are saying that it's all about abusing women and degrading them. That is not true. This is not the 1950's. It is 2015 and there are tons of sex clubs all over the world and have been for years. Some people like that sort of thing. Who am I to say that it is right or wrong! There have been movies out there through the years regarding Rape, Molestation, Serial Killers, War, Abuse, etc. How come it's okay to do those types of movies, but it's not okay to do a complicated love story with BDSM? What is so different? I know that people are entitled to their own opinions, but they shouldn't cast judgment or make reviews unless they have read the books or seen the movie in full. People should read the books before they go see the movie, then maybe they will understand the love story better.
Also, people are bashing E.L. James and saying that she was a horrible writer. I totally disagree. I thought her writing was Amazing! If her writing was so bad, then why did she sell over 100 million copies of her books.
I sincerely hope that they do the two movie sequels as soon as possible. I am really looking forward to seeing them!!!!
