Review Time
Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/sexual
component/references to underage/domestic violence. I will be discussing sex in
this Review/Blog.
Storyline: including the pacing it was either boring [just a quick
heads up; this project uses a question-mark style ending for an ending/may be a
continuation I haven't seen the sequel yet] or poor as it relates to the
pacing; it is just really slow and tiresome.
Action/Art: these two components go hand-in-hand for two sequences
involving flying so I will discuss one and leave one; I will go with it is
where we have our lead partnership of Steele/Johnson and Gray/Dornan up in a
glider
Art individually: [Visually] there
are some eye-catching skies and clouds and there is this panda picture on the
wall [just to cover my back, because it could be one of those pictures where it
depends on your state of mind is depending what you see] location of picture:
on the wall in Enterprises Holdings Inc. past the reception area and dancing
from our lead partnership [which I will discuss later] and [Musically] we have
Gray/Dornan playing the piano; all these Action/Art or just Art are good.
Comedy: now likewise there were only two examples of comedy and
I will discuss one and leave the other, in this case I will discuss the one
that may not be funny but it comes off as darkly funny: it is where Gray/Dornan
comes in and sits down on Steele/Johnson's bed in his big house, in short this
monologue is something he really needs to talk to Steele/Johnson about, but
here comes the darkly funny, here is one ever so tiny; no big deal really
detail that unless Gray/Dornan is talking to Casper the Friendly Ghost
Steele/Johnson is asleep throughout this entire monologue, in fact he wakes her
up after; so what was the point of this whole monologue? I know they may do
this kind of thing in other films or TV programs where one character/performer
finds it difficult to talk about something or hiding something or has been
trying to tell another character/performer something but they are finding or
just waiting for the right time so they do this, but with everything else this
project has working against it as I have already said it just comes off as darkly
funny [and yes I am aware that I have just answered my own question.]
Sexual
component/Characters/Performances:
including the on-screen chemistry all of these components go hand-in-hand in
one way or another; now the things I will be talking about for a minute are
just based around the context of this film.
So basically in my life up to this
point I have had about a grain of salt of sexual experiences, based on the
reason behind this are my disability, mental health [in short yes I am
physically able,] not very good-looking so I have come accustomed to always
being chosen last in fact now there are more sexual toys on the market they
would probably get chosen over me and not forgetting we are living in a
superficial society nowadays and the future; let's just put this nicely I know
my place; I am not happy about this but I am a logical person/a matter-of-fact
person.
But as this relates to here and now
I just wanted to cover my back again and more to the point I am very
open-minded, so as it relates to this film the sexual component is garbage
based on the grounds that it is a misrepresentation of this sexual lifestyle,
because the Dominant and this Submissive generally speaking wouldn't make love
or it is leaning that way [I have said generally speaking because maybe
somewhere at some point there has been a loving relationship being built just
for an example and I do stress just for an example may be a boyfriend and
girlfriend situation; this still may be open or closed relationship depending
on the two in this situation.]
What leads me to think this is
lovemaking is this background music used for the majority of the sexual scenes;
it conveys that it is lovemaking, okay for Steele/Johnson for her first time
ever having sex I partially get it kind of-ish, but I am very much 50-50 on
this; by all means be soft on her first time having sex, but don't make love to
her or lovingly kiss her at any stage of this film, because that will confuse
her and if Gray/Dornan wants a Dominant Submissive relationship that is unacceptable
behaviour, because it is cruel it is a taste of what she will never have [it
very much goes against the Dominate and Submissive rules, I am generally
speaking again [depending on what the two participants agree upon] and as he
has done this with 15 other women I stand by using the word cruel [he is a wolf
preying on a sheep, he knows better.]
Secondly if this contract/paperwork
is so important to him in this Dominant Submissive relationship he should have
waited for her to sign it end of story and finally I despise the final sexual
activity in this project I have no time for it unless both participants are
either knowing full well what they are getting into or are experienced enough
in this kind of activity, even though Steele/Johnson agrees to being punished
she was unaware of how hard he was going to punish her, yes absolutely I will
still grant her the level of a beginner so there is no way she was experienced
enough to handle this situation and for him to be enjoying it is just wrong.
So as far as I'm concerned by this
point they are in a relationship of some description and even if they weren't I
would still classify this as domestic violence, because that is how hard we are
led to believe he hits her which no surprise here but after this she doesn't
want him to touch her.
In fact if he has these massive
issues of intimacy of any description be a Dominant or anything other he should
be seeking help [based on the grounds on his first experience into the Dominant
and Submissive lifestyle; he was only 15 so this could have easily scarred him,
with the need to always be Dominant and never vulnerable on any level, but
however this whole point could be and can be undermined by the fact his first
Dominant and him are still good friends to this day] or both of them could be
or should be in prison, I really don't have time for this unless you had two
people trying something different in the bedroom and an accident happened then
I would listen, you know they tried something; something went wrong but there was
no intention of hurting one another [so hopefully there isn't too much harm and
they could try again,] but in this scene there is clear intention of harm which
greatly undermines this style of relationship of Dominant and Submissive which
I do not tolerate, I have been thinking about this film and may be the reason
why she didn't use both safety words [Yellow; means she is getting close to her
limit] or specifically Red; in short means stop, is because of she wanted to
experience his punishment, but trust me when I say there is zero enjoyment on
her part here.
I mean he has this golden
opportunity to teach someone properly on how to do things including potentially
letting his history go what else does he want? The performances including the
on-screen chemistry on the whole at first are what they are; they do their a
job they are designed to do. Now for our lead partnership; at best I can say it
is mixed sometimes it is dull and sometimes you can see/feel it in sync but it
doesn't last for too long [like for one moment for an example our lead
partnership are dancing together [before they go out to his family's dinner
party occasion,] because I know this is a trilogy I am really hoping this
partnership gets better on every single level, because if not let's just say
for now it is going to be safe to assume this "Man this is hard work to
watch."
This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; I mean if you want to watch a
film which is similar to this go and watch Secretary 2002 [warning it does have
a sexual component and some dark content and it does have some awards to its
name; like just for an example its highest Award credited to its name - first
one on the list Nominated for a Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actress in
a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical 2003; Maggie Gyllenhaal.] But in the
interest of fairness and balance somehow Fifty Shades of Grey highest Award
credited to its name - first one on the list; Oscar Nomination; Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion
Pictures, Original Song The Weeknd [as Abel Tesfaye] Belly [as Ahmad Balshe]
DaHeala Stephan Moccio Song: "Earned It"; 2016. On a little bit of
research it looks like I need to watch the Secretary 2002 again based on the
grounds I haven't done it under this name, so let me put it like this I would
much more prefer to watch this film before I watch this sequel [Fifty Shades
Darker 2017,] because in a nutshell of what I remember the style of a
relationship is better shown in this film.
