i thought it was OK.

i watched 50 shades of grey. my take on it follows. and there be might be a bit of a spoiler in here..sorry..
never read the book. enjoyed the movie. the acting..was really quite good. subtle even. there are a few issues i must make with the film though.
1. they really didn't show the BDSM crowd in the best light. the best Dom's i ever met? never had to raise their voice nor their hand. because their presence, how they carried themselves, made me want to do as they asked. of course i'm not into pain so i'd never go for that type of Dom anyway. the point is, that NOT all Doms are sadists and not all sadists are Dominant. they really should have cleared that up better.
my 2nd point and more important to me is that a grown woman, according to the dialogue of the movie itself, in essence raped and made a sex slave of a 15 yr old boy until he was 19 yrs old. that she, KNOWING his past with his mother and the abuses he suffered? then what that friend of Christian's mother did to him for YEARS, was RAPE & enslavement.
between his birth mothers abuses and what that adult woman did to him? MADE him as twisted as he was. and further, he believed he was incapable of being able to love and when it was presented to him? he didn't know how to handle it. to him the abuse was love. and thats the saddest thing of all.
maybe i'm able to more "abandon all logic and reality ye who enter here" when watching movies, i thought it was OK. i REALLY do think the acting was PRETTY dang good. the 2 main actors in particular. i mean some of it was so subtle that i am thinking the video game, constant action n bright flashing lights crowd might miss it. *shrug* either way it was interesting to me. made me think.
