Outstanding movie of 2015

Rating: 10/10 (13 February 2015)

Basing a film off a popular novel is no easy task. Fans of the series are going to constantly judge based on a picture they painted for themselves while reading. I strongly suggest leaving your emotions about the book behind, movies and books are made to stand on their own. Which is why they are only based on said literature. For myself, Fifty Shades Of Grey (the film) exceeded any expectation I may have had. I personally find the books very redundant, and repetitive. However, what captivated me most about this story and these characters is the development of these people. Also, the realization of how much love can influence another person, and the limits you test when discovering another person. The film was able to capture these moment within these characters far better and more intensely than the novel even came close to. Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan completely invited me into this world they created, leaving me inspired. I believe Sam Taylor- Johnson (director) did a brilliant job with his direction of the film. It beautifully stood on it's own- apart from the first instalment of the book series. Fifty Shades tests peoples comfort zones, and brings you into a world many are not accustomed to- leaving most, curious? I felt a large range of emotions while watching this film... I felt love, I felt pain, and I felt scared. Many films, and scripts lack the dialogue and moments to creative these rooms of emotion. Moreover, I need to give a special shout out to the films soundtrack, which provided extra ambiance for the viewers. The music beautifully tied in to the dialogue and the movement- I am enthralled. Movies markers take note! Furthermore, I have a hard time enjoying a film to my maximum potential. Being a theatre graduate, and studying performing arts for 10+ years, it is hard for me to get lost into the world of film when not presented 100% authentic. Fifty Shades Of Grey did NOT disappoint. Between the lovely and ridiculously talents cast, director, producers, screenwriters, and etc. I give this movie ten stars. Amazing Job. I am left wanting more. Fifty Shades Darker, cannot come fast enough!
