So I've just watched the film and felt as this review is fresh and I should post it ASAP!
OKAY, if you have not read the book it's X-rated sort of messed up romantic film with a lot of important bits cut out. But bare in mind the book has a lot more sex than the film. I thought it may all be porn but it turned out they managed to harvest the storyline well.
There are in fact three books and this film is book one, so don't get caught up with - god what was the point in that and blah blah. The first book gets you to enjoy the character of Anastacia and Christian and how he is basically the bad guy gone good as most romantic heart throb men are in good films typically, when they then meet "the one girl" that changes them forever. But you realise Christian has that little edge to him.
I personally was disappointed with Christian Grey's actor as he's not the charmer I imagined him to be in the book. I thought Anastacia was good, Dakota was brilliant, so real, so normal, I cannot even begin to imagine how much of a challenge this was to make as an actor. Yet I did grow to like them both more, but maybe because I know the characters already I already liked them.
I wanted so much more though. The book isn't written well but it is addictive, sort of like when you get hooked on reality TV and you don't know why.
I did love the books, honestly. It made me think about how funny and strange relationships are, I felt as though Fifty Shades the film kind of sums up what loving someone is really like, you'd do anything for them even if it means being hurt physically or mentally. As a woman it's hard to submit to a man, and when you fall, you fall hard. I enjoyed watching Anastacia fight her her needs and wants in the relationship, and not conforming. As my favourite film Gone Girl explains e.g. The style of music a woman likes and the way they dress will have a lot to do with what their partner likes. I hurt for Anastacia in this film, I wanted it to be cliché I think that's why I needed to write this, because secretly everyone likes a cliché ending.
I mean think about it, if you were Anna what would you do? You'd play it like she did... A billionaire falling for you? Buying you amazing gifts...? You'd be shocked. You'd be flattered. But someone who wanted do that to you... You'd run. But love works in mysterious ways. Doesn't it?
