50 SHADES OF WHAT THE FUCK EVER.

LAST NIGHT I WATCHED THE MOVIE, SECRETARY, WHICH I HAVE SEEN PROBABLY AT LEAST 4 TIMES NOW.  I LIKE THIS MOVIE QUITE A BIT.  THE ORIGINAL DRAW TO THE MOVIE FOR ME, WAS JAMES SPADER, WHO I LIKE AS AN ACTOR, AND MAGGIE GYLLENHALL, WHO I HAD HEARD OF AT THE TIME.  KEEP IN MIND, THE FIRST TIME I SAW THIS MOVIE, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WAS ABOUT, BUT, AFTER MY FIRST TIME WATCHING IT, IT INSTANTLY BECAME A FAVORITE.  SO, FAST FORWARD TO NOT TOO LONG AGO, AND THE MOVIE 50 SHADES OF GREY COMES OUT.  FIRST, IT STARTS WITH THE BOOK, AND THEN THE MOVIE, AND EVERYBODY HAS TO SEE IT, IT'S SEXY, IT'S ENTERTAINING, IT'S AWESOME ON WHEELS.  WELL, APART FROM THE MASSIVE POPULAR MEDIA PUSH, THERE IS A STRONG UNDERCURRENT OF THOSE WHO HATE THE BOOK AND THE MOVIE, AND BELIEVE IT IS A MISREPRESENTATION OF "THAT" FORM OF RELATIONSHIP.  SO, I LISTENED, AND MADE NO EFFORT TO SEE THE MOVIE....LIKE AT ALL.

SO, TIME HAD PASSED,  THE MOVIE IS OUT OF THE THEATER AND NOW ON REDBOX.  SO, I FINALLY BROKE DOWN AND SAID FUCK IT, AND WATCHED IT.  I DID NOT LIKE IT, AT ALL.  NOW, I DON'T CLAIM TO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE DOMINANT/SUBMISSIVE LIFESTYLE, AND WHAT ALL THOSE RELATIONSHIPS ENTAIL, BUT, THE MOVIE ITSELF WAS NOT GOOD, TO ME.  I DON'T THINK, BY COMPARISON, THAT 50 SHADES CONVEYED THE RELATIONSHIP IDEALS, AS WELL AS, SECRETARY, HONESTLY.  IN 50 SHADES, YOU GET A NAIVE (VIRGIN) WOMAN, SUCKED INTO A FUCKED UP POWERFUL MAN'S WORLD, AND ALTHOUGH THAT WORLD HAS ALL THESE AMAZING PERKS....IT ENDS, IN SACRIFICE AND LONELINESS FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE.  WHEREAS, SECRETARY, IS ABOUT A FUCKED UP WOMAN CHANGING, AT THE HANDS OF MAN, WHO STARTS TO LOSE CONTROL DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE IS INDEED FALLING FOR THIS WOMAN.  IT'S MORE ABOUT LOVE AND RESCUE, AND SACRIFICE FOR THE WILLINGNESS TO PLEASE, BECAUSE, YOU GET A SENSE OF SATISFACTION FROM IT.  WHICH, ASIDE FROM THE DOM/SUB ASPECT, WE HAVE ALL BEEN THRU.

SECRETARY, IS A GREAT MOVIE.  IT IS QUIRKY, AND AWKWARD, BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM A MOVIE JAMES SPADER IS IN.  IT IS BETTER, THAN 50 SHADES AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEE IT, BECAUSE IT COMMUNICATES THE IDEAS BETTER, IN MY OPINION.  IT IS A LOVE STORY, AT IT'S CORE, AND I BELIEVE IT HANDLES THE INTRICACIES OF THAT TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP BETTER THAN 50 SHADES OF WHAT THE FUCK EVER.      -  925
