christian grey's dominant submissive contract

Yes, there’s plenty of sex in Fifty Shades of Grey, and due to the ridiculousness of Hollywood, only Anastasia is seen in the buff, though there’s still plenty of beefcake on display during the scenes in Grey’s “playroom.” Are these scenes sexy? Sure. Let’s discuss what everyone else has been talking about instead: the sex. But let’s not dwell on that, I’m not here to discuss whether or not Christian Grey is a good human being or even a good male figure for women to infatuate themselves with (and in any case Janice Radway’s Reading the Romance argues that’s not that important a consideration anyway). It’s also a sad fact that the film downplays the stalkier angles I’ve read about being part of Christian’s M.O. The sad fact of the matter is that there’s nothing terribly kinky in Fifty Shades of Grey. Eventually, Christian proposes a relationship, bound by a contract, which makes Ana his submissive, he the dominant. During the interview and over the course of the next week, Ana and Christian become enamored with one another. Mousy college graduate Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) meets incredibly wealthy Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) whilst interviewing him for her roommate’s article in the college newspaper, a college of which he is an alumnus. But beyond the numbers, I’m interested in whether or not it’s any good (it’s okay) and whether or not it fulfills on any of the promises non-readers of the books would expect given the media attention (it doesn’t).īy now the story is well-recounted in the media. I’m much more interested in the film version anyhow, because it will no doubt be a major event film for 2015, with box office tracking as of today (the film’s first day in theaters) pointing toward a probably $85 million haul over the weekend.

This is not a review of the books or even a judgement about how absurd they may or may not be. The first thing you should know about me and Fifty Shades of Grey is that I haven’t read the books.
