50 Shades Darker


“I'm intoxicated with this man, my man, my Fifty Shades.”
~ E. L. James, 50 Shades of Grey darker
This week we decided to talk about something a little more…. erotic and  -maybe- the most debated movie in the past two years. We are talking of course about the trilogy “50 Shades of grey” that made it’s debut in 2015. Although the first reactions about the movie where a bit unexpected (bad comments, lawsuit etc) that didn’t come as an obstacle and in February 2017  the second part was released.

50 Shades of Grey is an erotic romantic novel (Stories written about the development of a romantic relationship through sexual interaction.The sex is an inherent part of the story, character growth, and relationship development, and could not be removed without damaging the storyline.) and it’s based in the author’s (E. L. James) sexual fantasies. As an erotic romantic novel the story beyond the romantic parts that indisputably exist, introduces us to an other side of sexual intercource, often crtisized by many and still a major taboo, BDSM. Although most people focus on the romance of Anna and Christian, we have to remember that this movie is written about sexual fantasies something that is still , even if we are in the 21rs century, a major taboo.


The movie starts with Anna working as Jack Hyde’s assistant at Seattle Independent Publishing. From the beginning Jack’s behaviour doesn’t stand  between the boundaries of a professional relationship he and Anna should have. Christian and Anna meet again at Hose’s (Anna’s friend who has a crush on her) photo gallery and asks her to give their relationship a second chance. However new threats are coming to unsettle their relationship. Does really love conquers all?


Our opinion about the movie…
It is a fact that everything that has to do with s$x is still a taboo either it is on the big screen or a casual conversation. The movie may not be as bold as expected for it’s genre but it already challenges in it’s own way a lot and tries to shake down all these prejudices and stereotypes by showing that different sexual preferences doesn’t make you not “normal”. They try to make a difference in their way (even though it is based on sexual fantasies) and that’s something we totally support.
