Fifty Shades of Gray is a romantic film produced by Universal Pictures, adapted from the novel of the same name written by British female writer EL James, and released in the United States on February 13, 2015. After the release of this hotly debated film, the ratings vary widely in different places. The IMDB score was reduced to 3.3, the Douban score was 5.1, and the HK movie score was 3.8 (full score: 5). In short, the trend is declining. However, the first weekend's pre sold box office has reached 46 million dollars, and Fifty Shades of Gray has become the highest R-rated film in North American film history. The score is so low and there are so many slots. Why are they so popular? To sum up in one sentence: The reason why Fifty Degrees of Gray has become popular around the world is not because of its artistry, but because it touches the hearts of men and women in society, especially making many women think about how to face sexual repression and the temptation of sexual violence. It can be said that this is a "phenomenal" work from novel to film. The content of the film is not much to say. In summary, it is a story of Marisu, the president of "shaking SM", who fell in love with Cinderella. The box office can be so high, the appearance is very important. Many people really go to the cinema to see their faces and bodies. It can even be said that this is a visual aphrodisiac specially designed for men and women. During the publicity period, businesses also showed off all kinds of lower limits of sexual desire, which led all men and women to become crazy about touching the taboo in the cinema. Although the film uses lust and SM as the main publicity stunts, the shooting is not simple and crude, which can be said to fully satisfy the female audience's sexual fantasies. First of all, from the perspective of men and women, it is very beautiful, healthy, and sunny. We should have a good face, a good figure, and be sexy. Whether in the foreplay or in the process of SM, the director skillfully arranges the light, shadow and close-up, and basically presents the scenes that are enough to make the female audience crazy. In the final analysis, since the beginning of the novel, the film has taken large-scale and sexual repression as its starting point. The novel itself is an H novel with high value of "words". The reason why it sells well is that it is based on the rich imagination of the chronically depressed aunt. Although our world may have already achieved sexual liberation to a large extent, such a large area of revelry is still rare. This film is an opportunity. SM under the packaging of love allows people to talk in front of the public, and it also allows people to talk about the plot and express their views out loud instead of just whispering in private. This is undoubtedly also a pleasure to break through the taboo, and it will bring people great excitement. Therefore, this film can be said to have triggered a spring dream all over the world. Women can imagine that the domineering president falls in love with me. Men can imagine the role of SM. It can be said that men and women eat together. Although the film's story is not highly rated, how can this kind of film that actually pokes the G-spot of men and women not be popular?


There is no need to say how hot "Fifty shades of Grey" is. This book has risen rapidly in the ranking of novels around the world. Its sales rate is only second to that of Harry Potter. The film of the same name adapted from it has been released in Britain and America. Before its release, the number of hits of the trailer exceeded 100 million within a week. If you look at the data carefully, you will find that this book is really popular - publishing is not a sunset industry at all.

Compared with the magic world created by J. K. Rowling, Fifty Degrees of Grey is not strange. The author, E. L. James, only talked about the SM version of "the domineering president fell in love with me": the female leader, Anastasia Steele, is a 22-year-old virgin who is about to graduate from college. She not only kept her virginity, but also never used a computer; Christian Gray, the male leader, is a wealthy entrepreneur: rich, domineering and fond of SM. You can see that the setting of the hostess is no different from that of ordinary Marisu, but the hero has changed. Marisu has conquered the president, the emperor and aliens (Du Minjun) in many novels, movies and TV plays. This time, they are finally going to attack SM lovers.



There is no doubt that the hero and heroine fell in love. The reason for falling in love is that the heroine loves to bite her lips and blush - please don't forget this feature, because they will appear more than 400 times in the book. In addition to these two movements, the female leader will only climax, 6 times a night (!). And the man, who is crazy about SM, is undoubtedly moved by the purity of the woman and takes her to experience the essence of SM. The real hero SM has been described more than 200 times innocently, spanning dozens of chapters. Whips, posts, ropes, boards and handcuffs take turns to appear, promoting the plot and climax again and again.



The author seems to have a rather poor vocabulary. The male owner repeatedly shouted: "You are my woman, while the female owner repeatedly confided:" You fascinate me. ". As for characterization, the author seems quite frank, letting the man who lives in a mansion, drives a helicopter and only wears a gray suit wear Converse canvas shoes. As for the last Happy Ending, not only men and women majored in it, but also the female owner's friends married the male owner's brother. A pair of Marisu decided to have two chief executives. Even the most common case of a female friend falling over and robbing a man was omitted.



Can't help asking why this book can sell 70 million copies? Yes, if you don't regard it as a novel, but as a sex toy, the problem will be solved.



After the popularity of Fifty Degrees of Gray, various kinds of analysis emerged one after another, and everyone wondered why it was so successful. The common analysis points to the failure of mature women's works and the decline of serious literature in recent years. But I think even if Shakespeare is reborn, there is no way to do this, and the mature women theme has never been out of stock. Its success lies in the perfect combination of love and sex, solving the problem that AV prefers male perspective and movies prefer pure love, and opening up a new channel for the market - don't ignore the female perspective, and don't separate pure love and eroticism.



As for why love and sex are so popular, it only shows that beautiful love and high-quality sex life are scarce in the world.



"Fifty Degrees of Gray" is also the beacon of gender relations: if a man finds that his female partner reads the novel or goes to the cinema to see the film, he will wake up quickly; As for women who always indulge in such stories, they should consider changing their partners. I used to watch people write about why Chinese men are not worthy of Chinese women. In fact, it's too unfair. It should be that men all over the world are not worthy of women.
