Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Jarred R Guys did you know she is the star of Madame Web????? 👨‍🦼 Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Ciaran S Fifty Shades Of Grey is one of (if not) the most unpleasant films i've ever watched, with it's story and writing are cheap and lazy especially the main characters have 0% chemistry because all they do is just talk, have sex and that's it, this movie has a cherry on top with one of the worst endings i ever had to endre. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Elvis D A pesar de lo cuestionable que ha sido la novela de E. L. James para los que se consideran experto en la literatura, su éxito es innegable, demostrando que la popularidad es lo más relevante. Crear una película de la novela ha sido un reto difícil porque es el libro es explícito. El reto es evidente al ver el resultado final, porque para que la película generase el mismo efecto que el libro, tendría que haber sido una película erótica como las de Emmanuelle. Curiosamente, una productora de cine para adultos tenía planeada hacer su propia versión que seguramente iba a ser más leal al libro. Eso no sucedió debido a los derechos de autor, pero no iba a ser posible que Hollywood replicara el libro en muchos aspectos por obvias razones. En primer lugar, el cine erótico es un género que ya está muerto y perdió relevancia después de que el cine p*rno la terminara opacando. En segundo lugar, las películas de ese tipo no son comerciables y no pueden ser proyectadas en cines públicos. Los realizadores querían que esta película fuera NC-17 y es posible que hubiera revivido el cine erótico que muchos solíamos ver en la televisión a la madrugada. La industria al final les negó a los realizadores esa oportunidad porque lógicamente una película comercial solo debe tener una clasificación R como máximo. Por un lado, es comprensible que decidieras suavizar la película, pero por el otro lado la ha limitado haciendo que no transmita mucho de ese ambiente sexual que tanto popularizo al libro.La película fue realizada como una historia de romance a nivel de Twilight para que pudiera ser rentable y funciono. Hay que admitir que la película sí funciona como una típica historia de romance para mujeres, a pesar de tener algunas fallas y cosas sobre otros personajes que podrían haber aportado bastante. El conflicto con eso es al enfocarse bastante en Christian y Anastasia, la historia demuestra ser también algo digno de una película erótica como las de antes, pero se siente limitada. Las escenas eróticas al no ser muchas, ni largas o más provocativas, el erotismo de la película se siente corto y eso fue algo decepcionante para alguien que esperaba ver nuevamente algo cargado de erotismo como el cine erótico solía ser. La verdad es que logra cumplir como una película romántica cualquiera, pero no como película erótica. De hecho, el romanticismo tiene más prioridad que la tensión sexual.Que la película tenga un tono de romance juvenil parecido a Twlight es algo bastante casual porque la novela originalmente empezó como un fan fiction de Twilight hasta que James decidió modificar por completo el texto, incluyendo los personajes y sus nombres. Aunque el fan fiction es algo que ya estuvo con anterioridad, se podría decir que 50 Shades Of Grey es el antecedente definitivo de After y otras historias que llegarían después en Wattpad y luego al medio audiovisual. Si hablamos de los antecedentes de Wattpad por la cuestión de la relación romántica entre los personajes, se podría decir que el antecedente definitivo pudo haber sido la novela italiana Tre Metri Sopra Il Cielo o su adaptación española hecha en 2010, pero es claro que no genero tanto impacto como 50 Shades Of Grey y quizás se le podría también dar el crédito a Twilight por ser el verdadero detonante.La película es mayormente aceptable en su ejecución y la banda sonora de Danny Elfman es lo suficientemente decente para dar una buena ambientación. Al principio peca de momentos hilarantes y hasta algunos diálogos son involuntariamente graciosos. En cuanto a los personajes, Christian Grey es lo mejor de toda la película. Jamie Dornan no está mal y hay que admitir que Christian es un hombre bastante astuto. Se puede notar como logra hacer que Anastasia caiga en sus brazos y se siente que es manipulador y usa la psicología inversa. Está claro que no busca el amor, pero al conocer a Anastasia sufre un conflicto por el hecho de que la termina amando, pero no quiere cambiar quién es él. Claro que existe la posibilidad de que solo quiere que Anastasia sea su esclava, pero ya al final es difícil saber si lo que siente por ella es real o no. Christian tuvo razón al principio al no querer una relación romántica, ya que el amor es algo que solo causa sufrimiento.Anastasia es bastante ingenua y al principio es bastante torpe. Aquí hay que admitir que Dakota no actúa bien en ciertas ocasiones y luego se va regulando. A muchos les puede parecer que Anastasia no es una chica lista por dejarse seducir por alguien como Christian Grey, pero se nota que ella se muestra más alegre después de sus primeras actividades con Christian. Así que Christian Grey es la clase de hombre que mujeres como Anastasia merecen. De hecho, todos los hombres deberían ser como Christian Grey porque él es un modelo masculino ideal y todas las mujeres merecen tener a alguien como él que les muestre el verdadero camino del placer. En parte puede que Christian haya exagerado algunas cosas con el contrato, pero él tenía sus normas y reglas. Cada quien tiene sus términos y son algo a lo que uno se tiene que ajustar, ya sea en un negocio o en una relación. Incluso por algo existen las normas matrimoniales.Para concluir, 50 Shades Of Grey es una película que pudo haber servido para revivir el cine erótico, pero al final solo se hizo para aprovecharse de la fama de la novela. Como película romántica es disfrutable para pasar el rato y puede que las críticas tengan razón al decir que la película no está a la altura del libro, pero el éxito en taquilla demuestra que al final las criticas ya no tienen validez. Así que hablar negativamente de esta película no sirve de nada porque eso no cambiara el hecho de que fue un gran éxito y que junto con la novela ha dejado una gran marca en las jóvenes para dar origen a historias similares que nacieron en Wattpad y que definitivamente han llegado para quedarse. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 7/10. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
