about Fifty Shades of Grey.

Rating: 7/10 (2 May 2015)

just watched the long anticipated movie & i thought i had to share my thoughts on it. well, first of all i have to admit i didn't read the books so this blog cannot be a comparison between the book and the movie. there was much anticipation since there was some 'hot topic' in the book series. my opinion about it is that OF COURSE you cannot expect to see some 'hard scenes' in the movie -it is not a porn movie- so you have to look it more on the story side. the story is in my opinion a kind of impossible love story, like the one in titanic, like the one in the twilight series. its about a man who had a difficult childhood, which in many forms defines the character he has as grown up man. on the other side you have a literature student who is rather shy but falls for a man who is also a gentleman. he has more difficulties in changing himself, she tries to partly change herself for him, but mostly she has the very complicated task of changing this 'dark side' of him. most of the movie is about mr grey wanting ms steele to sign this kind of 'contract', you never know what will happen and for that its a movie that -even though it slows down in some parts- it remains exciting to follow until its end. on the actor side you have a (in my opinion) brilliant dakota johnson who perfectly plays her character in a rather dramatic way and a rather serious jamie dornan who you cannot say is acting badly as Christian grey. all in all a movie that is worth watching, not because of the hype that was surrounded, but because its a movie that needs deeper understanding. i cant wait to see what the next movies of this series will bring. maybe then i'll post another review. stay tuned.
