An Open Mind is Required.

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2015)

Now bare with me. The acting in this movie is very melodramatic. The movie didn't give Christian and Ana enough time to get to know each other; one scene she was in his office and the next, in his bed. Movies don't need to be long and drawn out but they don't need to be speedy fast either. However, there were some scenes that were quite hot. The scene where Christian says "if you were mine you wouldn't be able to sit down for a week", when they had sex for the first time, and the first time he gave her a taste of what he likes with a bit of wine and ice while her hands were tied to the bed frame. This movie does undress its actors a lot but none of the sexual moments read pornographic. If you've read the books or noticed the previews then, you should know that Christian likes Bdsm. What was shown in the movie was more of kinky sex than bdsm. However, what was described in Christian's contract was definitely pornographic bdsm. It seems like most people have not discovered bondage,submission, dominance, and other sex forms like it until this movie, which explains why they are so grossed out. There are different pleasures out there other than regular old sex. Don't be so judgmental. It's kind of ironic. Anna too was disgusted when she researched Christian's liking but he told her she doesn't have to do anything she's not willing to try and some of what she tried, she ended up liking. She had to get out of her head and go into it with an open mind. There are some reviews on here that say "is this what women like?". Well that is up to the woman. Women like to feel needed and wanted and women like to give love and receive the same, or more of it. The way Christian chased after Anna was like he needed her and the way he so desperately wanted to have his way with her was how badly he wanted her. He too was falling for her but it interfered with the way he liked things and she just couldn't adapt one hundred percent. She wanted the same love from Christian that she was willing to give him. But, he isn't ready to fall in love with her. So far as Rape goes...How was Ana raped? She did not say no to him during their sexual acts, he asked her did she like this and that and she complimented him on his skills when they were done. She was free to stop at any given moment and leave which he reminded her of in the movie.
