50 Shades of Prejudice

Rating: 6/10 (15 February 2015)

Yes, I found the movie kinda silly. Yes, I found the acting a bit mediocre. But my biggest disappointment, much bigger than with the film, was with some extremely sexist and misogynist comments (which were supposed to be critical to the MOVIE) that I found on this page. Comments such as "you women are all ridiculous for liking this kind of movie", "if that is what women like, then I lost faith in humanity" and "you deserve to be raped for liking man like Christian Grey ". For you, sexist and fascist men who live in a bubble of prejudice, I'll tell you something: you know absolutely NOTHING about what women like. How dare you judge a woman because she enjoys reading books/ watching erotic movies? Have you by any chance ever seen any woman say to the winds that "men are all a disgusting and ridiculous for watching porn since the dawn of humanity"? Do you judge your (men) friends for watching porn movies? What do you think gives you the right to curse a woman by the films she watches or books she reads? I'll tell you one more thing, in case you do not know it already: you're a big of a coward, that's what you are. A coward who is afraid because women are taking charge of their sexuality without fear of talking about what they like and don't like. You're a coward and a fool because you think women have to be what you want them to be rather than what they really are. Because women are taking control over their own bodies as THEIRS, not as objects belonging to the men around them or to the society. You are a big coward, that's what you are. And I hope in my heart that one day you marry a silly, submissive and dull woman that doesn't question your coward and sexist attitudes because you do not have the balls to be with a woman who is determined and knows what she likes (in sex and in life). And no, I'm not an old unloved ugly with-no-sex-life lady (before you come up with your typically sexist and ridiculous comments). I'm (very well) married, thank you, and with a feminist and wonderful husband that yes, TAKES ME to the movies to watch 50 Shades of Gray because he knew I liked the books a lot.
And regarding the film (now down to business), although I found Jamie's acting mediocre, I was positively surprised with Dakota. She brought a graceful and delicate air to Anastasia that maybe in the book had not been so well portrayed. I loved her performance! I do think though that the writer could have taken the plot to the next level, making it better than the book and a more fluid history. They had the tools to do so. But I believe that the directing also had it share of blame. I read some professional reviews that the director was very inexperienced, and maybe that explains some flaws in the movie in general.
Overall, I found it an entertainer film. For me particularly lacked some scenes from the book that I missed, but I think it is a good program for a Friday night with the girlfriends or the boyfriend.
