Fifty Shades Of Grey movie forces its stars on you with sexy disregard for feelings
After months of prolonged teasing, in which tantalizing promises were made then withheld repeatedly in a clumsily rendered appropriation of seduction, the Fifty Shades Of Grey movie has at last shoved its stars into the waiting void of the public consciousness, with little regard for its feelings. (That’s what makes it so erotic.) Dakota Johnson will take on the role of Anastasia Steele in the Sam Taylor-Johnson film, her experience with being put into awkward positions and humoring the simpleminded on Ben And Kate lending itself to the story of a youngish girl who bends to the dominant will of her emotionally damaged but sexily wealthy lover, all for the titillation of the barely literate. And Charlie Hunnam will play that lover, Christian Grey, with the Sons Of Anarchy and Pacific Rim star applying his past experience with wrangling cold, clunky machinery to the mechanics of E.L. James’ novel. Also, probably to some sex toys—which are things are so excitingly taboo, they merit their own billion-dollar publishing phenomenon.
