From what I gather from the reviews and media references, the heroine is seduced into a BDSM lifestyle by a young billionaire who buys her lots of nice things and who looks like a Calvin Klein underwear ad.

There’s more than one female fantasy being played out there, and the situation wouldn’t be as enticing to as many women if the male was a chubby balding store clerk who lives in his mother’s basement and has some handcuffs on his dingy four-poster bed with graying unwashed sheets.

It kind of reminds me of that film where Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson played a young couple who were being seduced by millionaire Robert Redford, who offers them a million dollars if Demi Moore’s character will have sex with him.

My sister said at the time that the movie was popular because we like to fantasize about having to make a moral choice where the stakes aren’t really that unappealing. She said women like to fantasize about having to decide whether they would be willing to sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars, whereas in the real world most women’s moral choices are more like deciding whether to sleep with someone who looks like Danny DeVito for rent money.

Exactly.

Now that the film is coming out shortly, there is newfound interest in the latest BDSM mommy-porn saga, “50 Shades of Grey”. However, some blogs have indicated that it is actually thinly veiled child sexual abuse, rather than a consenting adult woman as many assume.

50 Shades of Grey Trilogy Normalizing Child Sex Abuse

The book’s supporters on Facebook are now denying it categorically. I am interested if anyone else has heard this theory or has opinions, or if you have even read it…

I do know from Matt Fradd that one of the main characters (Christian Grey) was molested at the age of 15.

I think that may be a stretch but who knows. I haven’t read the book don’t indend to either or see the movie. This thread for some reason reminds me of all the Harry Potter threads…🍿🍿:whistle:

I find it amusing that, released only a few weeks from each other, are two movies: American Sniper, and Fifty Shades of Grey, that display the utter hypocrisy of both the right and the left in this country.

How so? I would rename American Sniper, American Hero. Kyle was protecting us under orders of the military. He saved many American soldiers lives over there who without him would have never been able to come home.

I remember that film, but in a way that film had a better moral than this silly book/film.
Demi Moore’s character consents to the night with Robert Redford because she and her husband are in financial distress. At first the couple think that they can handle this emotionally. But the last minute, Woody Harrelson’s character doesn’t want her to go through with it, but she has left already with Redford, and he cannot contact her.

The couple’s marriage is damaged, I believe they divorce (It’s been years since I saw this). The money didn’t solve any of their problems. Adultery was shown as wrong.
 
Here is my thinking.

First I will steal from Lino Rulli. The movie was called steamy and cheesy. It is a terrible movie, but it would make a good pizza.

Second, children like steamy, cheesy pizza.

Ergo, the movie is about child sexual abuse.

I thinking worrying about the *type *of gutter filth this movie is matters not a whit.
