I finally did make it through this movie tonight, but only because of multitasking while doing it.
I have to say, I resent the movie somewhat.
The implication is that any guy who has these sorts of desires to dominate girls must have had some sexual trauma in his life and is completely screwed up. I have these desires, and I've had no trauma in my life, and I don't consider myself to be screwed up. It seems perfectly natural to me to want to dominate girls. I'm a caveman dragging the girl back to my lair to have my way with her.
The other implication is there must be something wrong with a girl that wants to be dominated, who enjoys and fantasizes about this. Again, I see nothing weird about that either. For you girls on this site, don't ever think something is wrong with you for having these fantasies. You want the alpha male to drag you to his lair and do what he wants. That's natural and normal too to have these desires.
One positive is the movie makes it clear, the sub is willing.....this is not real rape or real slavery we want......the sub can leave at any time.
The other positive thing I can say about the movie was after about 5 attempts, I finally got through it. There's no way I could finish reading the awful writing of that first book let alone the 2 that followed.
