In general, it was impossible to buy tickets on the first weekend after the release of this masterpiece. Viewers are aware of films that are far from melodramatic and certainly contain erotic scenes, some of which feature BDSM characters. The Social Network was divided into two camps. Some wrote that this form of fairy tale is harmful and dangerous and classifies people from a moral point of view. Others, on the contrary, saw the films as cute entertainment for adults. And Saad did not fail to suggest that low-grade cinema and the cinema of Lars von Trier spew bile.
50 shades of history 50
E. James loved reading stories about vampires. In this regard, intellectuals can get used to her work. In Bella, popular in Twilight, Edward saw a relationship of dominance and submission. James created fan fiction. The fanfiction was first removed from the official Vampire Saga fansite dedicated to Frank“s scene, and then posted on another site. The writers „decided to get rid of the vampire and the schoolgirl, making the main character almost as rare as an immortal human, with a lot of additional bonuses.“ Meet Christian Gray is a decent look at a young billionaire with an uncertain business. However, the main character remained a strange student. From Bella“s clumsy, sociopathic image grew the sadness of a beginner and the anastasia of a journalist. The girl studies at the university, earns income in her store and knows Gray at work. Then a typical women“s fantasy begins, but instead of sweets and bouquets there is a deal of submission and a detailed description of everything that Gray could find on the website of the nearest sex shop. The book was more popular than Harry Potter, and critics called it “porn for mothers.” By the way, statistics show that the target audience of the novel were:
- Students and high school students.
- Women with husbands and children 30 years later.
Where are the young specialists? Apparently they don“t have time to read or are busy looking for their Mr. Gray. No one, if not American book critics, paid attention to yet another sex scene, many sex scenes. In a simple novel they saw the “crisis of feminism” and the brilliant desire of all women to submit. Anti-feminist reviews on the topic “50 Shades of Young Masochists as a Crisis of Female Independence” became a sales catalyst. And the book itself was almost more popular than Harry Potter.
Screen adaptation
Hollywood studios are tracking scandalous bestsellers. In marketing, it is cheaper to publish a book than to make a film. If a literary work sells well, its film adaptation is likely to be successful. Thus, major studios, from Mark Wahlberg“s brainchild to Universal and the Warner brothers, competed for the film rights to James“ trilogy. In March 2012, the rights were sold to Universal and Focus Shipper and filming began. The films were originally filmed under code names to prevent information leaking from the Internet.
However, drainage still occurred. The world learned that the main roles will be played by Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan. It was only in the female roles that the film“s team had problems. Dakota was quickly approved and there was no scandal. However, last time all the serial handsome men auditioned for male roles.
- Charlie Hunnam became famous after the biker television series Dreams of Anarchy.
- Alexander Skarsgård fell in love with the masses in the TV series “True Blood.”
- Ryan Gosling immediately refused to participate in the film based on the book, without giving any comments.
The action took place in Vancouver and Seattle, where the film was filmed. Part of the sequel was filmed by the French bank Azure. Critics argue that the budget was not allocated for filming, but for the purchase of rights to a famous piece of music, and not for fees to the actors. However, ordinary people only remember the compositions of Beyoncé and Sia from the film.

High critics received the film negatively. The masses didn“t like it either. On Rotten Tomatoes, where everyone can leave a review, about a quarter of critics rated the film terrible. Why didn“t people like it? Dniebs writes that this is not a film at all. This is a boring love story, which the author tried to dilute with his personal feelings about the subordination of relationships and the longing for sexual diversity — the most accurate description of the film. There are far fewer sex scenes in the film adaptation than in the book. This is due to the strict requirements of US law. In „Cinema 18 Plus“ there cannot be more than four or five scenes in two hours of screen time. Here the audience has to prompt and remember.

The film „50 Shades of Gray“ criticizes the prevalence of BDSM culture. For those who are barely familiar with it, it is not about sex and it is not about pain. Dominance and submission in relationships are independent values. Such couples are formed precisely on the basis of the fact that one person has solid support in the form of the complete power of the other and the trust of subordinates. Pain and other attributes are secondary in culture. After the release of the film, the forum of BDSM lovers was replenished with “fresh blood” in the person of yesterday’s schoolgirl. Sex shops were selling lots of handcuffs and masks, Instagram influencers were filming around, and home stores eventually got rid of a year“s supply of rope.

After the release of the film, lingerie companies made a big deal out of a mountain and released several lines of women“s ugglies on Strepa based on the film. There were also masks. But official lines also come at a price point—like Agent Provocateur, not like our favorite panties and bras from Instagram“s top designers. Since the Sex Shop had finally sold out of its supply of handcuffs and whips, the whips were well deserved. Even Aliexpress has seen such good sales. You can also find knockoffs that are suitable for formal lingerie based on „shades“. In countries with loyal laws, this culture has opened loyal clubs for new users underground. Perhaps just a nominal row of clotheslines and construction overalls and logoed Coca-Cola. All this suggests that the films have successfully occupied the niche of soft eroticism with banal intrigue, but people are expecting more.

They tried to ban Western films for the following reasons:
- Instillation of false values of gender non-ecological.
- Shows that you can get anything for money, including innocent students, without certain life guidelines.
- He even demonstrates that there is even a crisis in the journalism profession because there are non-therapists like Anastasia Style who are still trying to give interviews, but it turns out as usual.
- The story is about a man who became the slave of an old man, played by Kate Bakinsill, and was then forced to stay for 15 years to become a millionaire.
- Distributes former Christians.
- Joe and Bills“ fantasy begins to demand sex and submission from the independent Mary and Jane in life!
But the values of a free society won out, and the movie made billions at the box office, with sequels and even Trissel.
50 shades in Russia 50-5
In the Russian-speaking community, the book did not cause such a stir as in the USA or Europe. However, the value of women“s independence, feminism, independence of thought and equality is not decisive here. On the contrary, you can sit on the forum and come to the conclusion that the mainstream wants to find only such “masters” who are sexually active, rich in life and with boring skeletons in the closet in the past. Live more joyfully.

What annoys BDSM lovers in the film
However, BDSM kinky people weren“t too happy with their sudden popularity. Clubs for this genre already existed in Russia and on the Forum. However, the mainstream brought in many people eager to „try“ and „experience,“ and the culture lost its underground appeal. Incidentally, there“s a whole thread on this topic for budding enthusiasts. Why don“t they explore James“s work? They write that the girl isn“t very bright and that she „craves a strong shoulder,“ refusing to shrug off anyone“s responsibility for her life.
Why the film adaptation didn’t appeal to fans of the book
The film has no experience of the main character at all. He shows us a series of events. The book is narrated from the author“s point of view and there are many psychological moments. Indeed, haters of this work note that the “psychology” in it is similar to tedious reasoning on the topic “if he hits, it means he loves,” or on the topic that it is not only me, but also myself. Entire layers of forums and reviews are devoted to the eternal topic of the Christian Gray problem. At the same time, many authors began to explore the corruption of all the rich and dedicated an immortal opus on how money corrupts and poisons. Others explored the theme of Gray and his „conductor“ into the world of BDSM with his wealthy business partners, followed by compensation for personal humiliation against a student journalist. The film significantly helped in self-realization for those people who consider themselves creative. After all, thanks to him, she was able to overcome intellectual snobbery and simply take a ticket to her Instagram and tell the world about her disappointment using a hashtag. In the wake of criticism and hype, many became popular, some did not, but all this has nothing to do with Anastasia and her gray story. However, every self-respecting sex shop mentioned the film on their Instagram.
Was there love?
The film is aimed at girls. No matter how depressing the environment is with all those handcuffs, red rooms and other pianos, a love story should only end with a wedding or the tragic death of the main character. There is no tragedy in cinema. That the film ends in the spirit of a traditional novel, except that Christians are still killed, but not that they are killed by a specific lover of pessimistic aesthetics. So if the goal is to spend time taking beautiful photos and enjoying the traditional ending, then why not?
Jump in and take the „shades“ as a guide to conquering the world by finding billionaires, and you“ll enjoy watching it. However, Hollywood directors, screenwriters and actors eat bread for a reason.
