Welcome back, friends. I have some ramen and I feel much better about life. For now. I still have to review the rest of this shit.
When we left Christian and Ana, Momma Grey had just prevented my homegirl from getting eaten out. Yikes. Anyway, Ana gets
weirdly emotional, because she hasnt decided on whether or not she wants to be Christians sub, and they talk about pleasure vs. pain for a bit
.whatever. The point is
Anas like Im not down to be your sex slave. I go YAAAAAAAAS, GIRL POWER for a min, but then I remember that
of fucking course, this movie wouldnt exist unless she eventually gives in
.so my dreams are quickly dashed.
Christian goes to take her home and he has no less than a million cars. Im shocked. As are the rest of you, Im sure.
He pulls over in the middle of a creepy secluded forest and hes like lets go for a walk. Which
totally isnt
something
a serial
killer
.would do
..
He talks about his past, how an older woman basically committed statutory rape and made him her submissive when he was 15. What
what the fuck? People honestly found this hot and not disgustingly abusive? I hate humanity. Hes still friends with his abuser apparently. I want to vomit. He tries to convince Ana that she should let him whip her its great I promise. Anyway its all very manipulative and weird and Im gonna move on.
They get to her apartment and he gives her an envelope with the details of the contract. I really hope you say yes
dude, we fucking know. Youve only been talking about it for like 20 minutes. Jesus Christ.
Anywho, Christian has bought her a computer! Aww, how sweet. Her roommates like whats that weird envelope? and Anas like just
notes
not sex stuff
bye and rushes off to her room
to masturbate to read the contract.
but not really, and instead she sits down at her new computer and chats with Christian for a bit. He wants her to use it for research and shes like ohhhh youre gonna order me around???? Naaaaaaaah Christian replies:
Her face right here was too good to pass up. Sorry.
She reads the contract. Its still pretty boring. Im not gonna get into it that much, because I dont care. But the highlights are: she cant have sex with anyone else, shes gotta be on the pill, the dom can do whatever he wants to her, shes gotta be on a diet, cant get drunk or smoke
.its all really controlling. Have I mentioned that I fucking hate this movie? I think I have. But just so were clear, Ill say it again.
Theres some back and forth sexting or whatever
and then, because hes a
serial killer gentleman, Christian shows up in her bedroom with some wine. How dreamy. He ties her to the bed with his tie and blindfolds her, Beyonce plays in the background, he does some shit with an ice cube.
Ana sets up a business meeting (no joke) with Christian to discuss the contract. Theyre talking about limits and shit, and she goes in this paragraph
find anal fisting
get rid of that shit. Obviously hes disappointed, but I honestly cannot stop laughing.
And then shes like no vag fisting either and I die some more.
But I wanted to be a puppetmaster
She also says no to genital clamps. What a prude, am I right? And then she asks him what butt plugs are
honestly the whole scene is actually hilarious. He adds going on a date once a week and then goes Id like to fuck you into the middle of next week.
Weve already established that hes creepy so Im just gonna leave that and get on with this shit show.
Anyway the business meeting soon turns into them talking about what theyd do to each other. Thats
not usually how business meetings go from what I heard, but Im not an actual businesswoman, so what the fuck do I know? Ana leaves and Christian has a huge boner.
Anas graduating college!!! Guess who the guest speaker is? You bet your bottom dollar its Christian. He gets all personal and touchy feely. She gets her diploma and goes to shake Christians hand. She
agrees to be his sub right then and there? Thats
not exactly how my graduation went down
.but okay.
Christian meets Anas dad, they take a picture, they go back to her apartment
and he gets creepy again. And then
he buys her a car for her graduation. What the fuck, I want a car.
Ana gives him lip and rolls her eyes, and hes like what did you just do, young lady?? and then he throws her across his knee and spanks her. Like shes five.
She cries to her mom a bit, goes to Christians house, and finds out shes on the cover of the local newspaper, looking like an idiot, as usual.
Honestly this shit writes itself.
They go to the playroom, he braids her hair, theres some handcuffs involved
and a riding crop
whatever. Christian sniffs her panties. Beyonce plays in the background again. Honestly Ive read hotter fanfiction than this.
You know
there hasnt been any actual conflict in this movie. But guess what? Now there is! Because Anas totally lowkey falling in love with Christian. Omg, DRAMA!!! They dance and shit and go to meet Christians sister
and his parents? Anas roommate is there with Christians brother. Christian gets mad because
uh oh, Anas going on a trip to Georgia! They fight about it and he gets all I DONT KNOW WHAT LOVE IS!! Hes got a gloomy past apparently because who doesnt?
He goes to Ana
while shes asleep, so theres really no point to it, and tells her about his shitty childhood. Mom was a drug addict who died, and he was adopted. I know Im supposed to care but
I just cant. Maybe its the alcohol, maybe its the fact that I hate this movie. Maybe its a combination of both. It doesnt matter either way.
Ana goes to visit her mom, they sit around and eat soup. How exciting. You know, now that I think about it, nothing of note really happens in the second half other than that theres some kinky shit and Ana mopes around and bites her lip a lot. She wants romance and Christian is too emo for that. Also, she has a flip phone? What year is it? Girl, your boyfriend is a bajillionaire. He bought you a car
.get an upgrade.
Ana and her mom are having happy hour when
guess who crashes the party? I give up. Do you guys really need me to figure the rest of this shit out? Also, how the fuck does he know exactly where they are? Oh. Right. I forgot. Serial killer.
Hi there. Im going to brutally fucer, I mean, murd--, no wait, thats not right either. Im just
Im gonna take your daughter out on a nice date. Yeah. Totally not suspicious.
Christian gives a weirdly specific drink order and Anas like what the fuck are you doing here get away from my mom. Mom leaves
they talk about how Christian had dinner with his child abuser. They go on another plane ride. Ana, arent you here to visit your mom? Oh
wait. Youre a fucking idiot. I almost forgot.
Im so fucking excited to tell you guys
that theres only 15 minutes left in this movie. Im almost free.
Christian goes back to Seattle because some
emergency happened. Ana returns soon after (on a private jet, duh), and meets up with a disgruntled Christian. They talk and shit
Im really tired of this. Theres rope scene with a blindfold and like
a choir playing in the background, like this is some baby lamb sacrifice.
Theres also a peacock feather. Theres
no explanation for it. But then again, is there an explanation for any of this? Other than that God is cruel and allows us to suffer?
Somewhere, a lone peacock, short one feather, is crying out in anguish. Not for his loss, but because he has involuntarily become a part of this movie.
Ana gets flogged / whipped a bit, oral happens, and then
cut to Christian playing the piano. What a boner killer, man. They talk about Christians childhood, because apparently Ana heard his story
whatever. They fight, Ana goes why do you wanna do anything to me at all?!?! and I have to pause the movie for a minute and just
reflect
because she basically summed up my entire thoughts about this movie in one fucking sentence.
Ten minutes.
Christian says something about being 50 shades of fucked up and I bang my head into the desk. Ana wants Christian to show her the absolute worst punishment so she can understand"
and Im like
.cant you just just talk this out like adults?
Christian then whips her with a belt six times and she cries. More choir music plays. Ana gets mad because she realizes Christians fucked up. I mean it only took you the WHOLE FUCKING MOVIE, but better late than never, right? She leaves in a huff.
Five minutes.
Remember what I said about Ana eventually signing the contract? Well, I lied. Sorry. She never does. So basically the whole movie had no point to it other than bondage and whipping and a random peacock feather. Shes in her room crying, and Christian comes to her. She admits shes fallen in love him. Hes really confused and Im basically like Im confused too, the fuck? She asks him to leave and he does. Somewhere, thousands of middle-aged moms are weeping.
Ana leaves, they stare at each other as the elevator door closes and
thats the end. Seriously. The ending to this fucking movie is that they fight, break up, and Ana leaves. The whole fucking thing is pointless. So basically I just endured this shit;
two hours and five minutes of this shit, to be exact, for a fucking sequel bait ending.
WASNT ONE ENOUGH? WHY, GOD?
I'm sorry if this was boring, but I had to work with what was provided. The second half is a snooze fest. Well, the whole thing sucks, but the second half was especially unbearable to get through. Not because of the sex, but because more than half of it is Christian walking around with a pouty face on. Nothing really important happens...Seriously.
Until the sequel, folks.
