Seeing it all play out, as opposed to reading about it, really heightens the impact of the story.
The Fifty Shades film is a high-contrast version of the first book. So when I went to see the film last week, I wasn’t prepared for how visceral my response would be. As a BDSM educator, I got my opinion down to a sound bite: The books are poorly written the BDSM play as described is pretty safe, but the relationship is totally toxic, so don’t follow this example.
I read the books (yes, all three) when they first came out. Fifty Shades is silly and easy to dismiss, but also too realistic for me to suspend my disbelief – or my politics. For me, it hits a precise middle ground that’s very uncomfortable. Others say it’s just a sexy fantasy, not to be taken too seriously we should all chill out, and enjoy it for what it’s worth. Some feminist reviewers say Fifty Shades is a story that glorifies abuse. Predictably, it’s a tortured relationship.
He tries to push her into a full-time dominant/submissive contract she tries to push him into a “normal” romance. It’s everywhere.īy now we probably all know the basics: damaged millionaire falls for innocent undergrad and introduces her to a world of BDSM play that’s by turns sexy and disturbing. Have you heard of Fif ty Shades of Grey? Of course you have.
