"50 Shades of Grey" tells about a seemingly "good looking", wealthy man who shows interest in your everyday average girl and takes her into his world of handcuffs, whips and essentially pain. Sexy right? Ouch.
I do not title myself as a feminist, but I do believe the movie seems to be a bit demeaning to all females everywhere. I constantly see women protesting asking for "equal rights" trying to show that we, women, should be treated just like the males of the world. Yet, they endorse a movie based on a man completely dominating a woman that depicts her to be just another sexual object.
Why would I want to watch another movie that demoralizes the meaning of sex and completely takes all sanctity of sex away? Why would I want to pay for and sit through another movie that distorts the role of a woman? Because we're all supposed to be a size 2 and practice erotic sex with the first rich guy we meet, right? Pass...
Based on what I've heard about the book, if in fact the movie was completely based on the book, it would be porn. Simple fact. But since it isn't so xxx, it's deemed okay. I've also seen women's reactions to who is playing the role of Christian Grey. Most said he wasn't "hot enough". Those same women would be mortified to learn that their husband was waiting for a movie to come out and on his first learning of the female lead said ,"She isn't hot enough." I myself would be pretty upset if it was my other half, especially on such a movie as this. Double standard?
There will likely be more worthy box office hits to spend your time and your money on.
This is a "love" story I won't be watching.
