Is that love?

I refuse to see the movies, but did read the books. To be honest, I enjoyed all three, but would never let myself be abused like that. It takes two to tango.

I've never seen the movie, and don't plan on it. I don't approve of abuse of any type and that kind is insane.

I don't have faintest idea about the movie! But I think it is not possible to have abuse be a part in love! As far as I am concerned its understanding, exchange of mutual respect and emotions together with feelings that can make a love successful one! Thanks @Kandae11!

I'm not a psychologist or an anthropologist, but many women are into that, for several reasons. The movie was boring, and I didn't read the book. I asked a classmate, who was reading the book, what it was about, she said "go buy it". That made me angry, and I wouldn't ever buy it. I only asked what the topic was, ugh. I saw a similarity with Twilight and The Beauty and the Beast (Disney's), when it comes to the plot. There's a weird guy that frightens most people, but a girl thinks he's simply misunderstood, falls in love and tries to "rescue him from the darkness" or whatever. And again, that's something many women enjoy as well. I don't know if it was abuse, I believe it was manipulation. Anastasia was in love, and she accepted to play the submissive role. She knew nothing about it, but accepted because she didn't want to lose Mr Grey. However, she ended up enjoying some of the games. But I don't know much about the story anyway. I fell asleep at some point, during the movie.

I have seen the movie and I found it extremely boring. I would never let a man abuse me.

I try to see this movie but shut it off.this is from the younger generationn What ever happen to Mae West

I did not see the movie nor do I want to. Not my kind of movie.

Wow! really? the sales of duct tapes? .. I haven't seen the movie.. But I have the books because I was curious about the fuss .. It's like 4 years now that I have the books but haven't read it yet .. LOL! .. Now I have to go and find where they are ..

I have not seen the movie nor read the books but as long as both parties agree, who am I to tell them what is acceptable.

I refused to see the movie and read the books. I think that bondage stuff is a perverted form of sexuality. I have never had that desire to do any of that. No, bondage is not love.

I think that anything people do in private is fine, as long as both partners enjoy it equally. Personally I would run a mile from that sort of thing.

Definitely would not have wanted to see it; although my husband at the time probably sure would have @Kandae11 .

I didn't see the movie or read the book. After hearing so much about it I decided I didn't want to.

No, I haven't seen it. It's not Romeo's kind of movie...

I have heard but not read or watched the book and movie. I think that there are all sorts of people in this world. There are men who want to be dominated too.

It is just a movie and a story, don't know why there were women's groups trying to ban it from the cinema. I read the first book but I couldn't finish it as it wasn't my style.

Oh this is funny, you're not going to believe this but I'm watching "Fifty Shades Darker" as we speak. I don't think that the relationship between the 2 main characters, Christian and Anastasia is a healthy one, but I do think Domination and submission can be part of a healthy relationship, as long as boundaries are respected and communication is constant, with no effort of manipulation. Hypothetically speaking I would think it would be most fun to be the sort of person who likes both ;-)

I read about this by accident (they interviewed the main actor and actress, I followed the interview, but didn't know about the movies they were in.) but have no intention of watching it or the sequence movies. Just not the type I like.

I have watched the movies but the last part haven't watched it yet.

No, I havent because I am not thrilles with the story. People become oblivious of the fact that abuse is never okay. We were conditioned to believe that these abuses are okay. This is money and they profit out of it.
