Disgusting

Rating: 1/10 (17 February 2015)

So obvious to the audience that it is just a brushed of version of a 'Twilight' FanFiction. Just like 'Twilight' it portrays an abusive relationship, that for some reason people are going crazy over.
Why anyone would want to watch the glorification of an abusive relationship is beyond me. The film degrades BDSM by not showing an accurate portrayal of what a BDSM relationship is actually like. Christian is not a Dom. There are countless times when he ignores Ana's requests to stop, or doesn't respect her boundaries. He also stalks her, like all the time.
50 Shades also degrades women. It teaches people that when a woman says "no", it's okay for you to carry on. As if we don't have enough trouble having people believe women in our rape culture. I really feel for women who have had to live through abuse, such as the stuff shown in 50 shades, and then see their misery and pain blasted all over the media and portrayed as "romantic."
