But baby had learned to crawl by then, and demonstrated her opinion of the film’s slow pace by repeatedly making for the exit. Then, we tried Lincoln – an epic historical drama about the US president’s final four months. The post Fifty Shades of Grey: To watch or not to watch? appeared first on Marie France Asia, women's magazine.Intrepidly, we embraced The Hunger Games: a post-apocalyptic dystopia, pitting boys and girls against each other in a desperate and bloodthirsty survival of the fittest – in other words, taking a small infant to the cinema. So as we got to the end of the movie, a couple of whips later, all we could say was, laters, baby! From Jamie’s furrowed brows and Dakota’s lip-biting vacant stares, it was easy to guess what would follow. Painfully DraggyĮssentially, the build up to the milder than purported scenes was slow and the mediocre display of tension and emotion was more ‘okayyyyyy’ than ‘oh no, what’s going to happen now’. Still, we didn’t see the R rated aspect of it. Instead, we’d define the movie as one Twilight romance that went a slight notch higher in the sex department, without the vampires and werewolves. When the trailers came out, everyone thought that this supposedly controversial movie was going to be filled with ridiculously steamy scenes and amorous dialogues but it barely lived up to the hot-and-bothered hype. Story continues To not watch: Did not live up to the ridiculous hype If you listen close enough, you’ll even catch a tinge of his macho Irish accent and the guy plays the piano shirtless in the movie.

Sure, there isn’t exactly much to expect from Christian Grey’s unsmiling character other than his abs, tailored suits and endless amount of stoic gazes but come on, it’s Jamie Dornan. From the billionaire’s luxuriously decked out living room to the ‘red room of pain’, the details were kept impeccably similar as you hear everyone else in the cinema gleefully gasp, ‘Omg, it’s the same!’ Jamie Dornan There wasn’t that cringe-inducing tampon scene either or talks about inner goddesses but for the most part, the movie kept the plot fairly accurate to the novels in terms of setting and mood. We have to give credit where credit’s due and this will go to director, Sam Taylor-Johnson for stripping away the inane drivel found in the book. Don’t expect too much kinkiness from it though. From ceiling rails, cable ties, to hand cuffs, whips, blindfolds and rope, the film highlights what it means to be a Dominant and a Submissive in the relationship. While the movie doesn’t exactly depict the acts for what they are, it does show you a glimpse of the varied tools that could be used.

Or rather Bondage and Discipline, Sadism and Masochism.
