Horrible

Rating: 1/10 (14 February 2015)

First what I should mention is TRIGGER WARNING this movie is not suitable for people who are/have been in an emotionally abusive relationship. This movie managed to get so much attention, so please, do not write me ''it is just a movie, chill'', young girls are going to watch this movie and what will they see? They will see themselves in the role of Ana, young, poor and inexperienced woman with low self esteem and no self worth. The movie/book will make them believe that what they need to find is somebody to ''take care of them''. And then the problems start. The care taker, Christian, is portrayed as this ''damaged'' person who is into bondage stuff and needs saving. What's really going on there is so much different and so horrifying, honestly. If you know anything about BDSM, you know that its about intimacy and bringing pleasure to both partners, who both agree to this. What is portrayed in the movie/books IS NOT BDSM. Ana did express her dislike for being spanked, but Christian didn't really care. Even though she did have a safety word for when in red room of pain, after she'd use it, Christian would mock and ridicule her for using it, making her feel sorry for doing so. The only way of making sure Christian stays around is doing what his sick perverted mind desires, and since Ana has no self worth, she will do all of that. This is not okay. He controls her every move and is turned on when she refuses him (mm... kinda sounds like a damn rapist) He holds her away from family and friends, manipulates her actions so they would fit him, controls what she eats, even. Girls will think it's fun when a boy does this to them, girls will think this is how he expresses love. Girls will stay in an abusive relationships, because the man just needs ''saving''. These things don't allow me to enjoy what is happening in the books/movies and honestly I have no idea why would the author would even go to write something as disgusting as this and why someone would go and make a movie out of that. So please, if you can, do not go and see this movie, do not give money to people who made this and are glamorizing abuse and rape. Go watch anything else or give money to people who support victims of abusive relationships. If you still go watch this, at least educate yourself about what's wrong with this movie and tell your friends about this too.
