I understand that this film was intended to raise all sorts of important questions about consent and boundaries and sublimated desire, but this particular Christian Grey just did not seem dangerous in the least. As a viewer, I’d say the closest analogue was in American Sniper when Bradley Cooper comes home to impregnate his wife and then departs again and then returns and departs again and the screen announces “Fourth Tour” and you think, “another one?”-that is how I felt by the time this Red Room visit rolled around. But at this point the chains and ball gags had come to seem about as exciting as household cleaning supplies. You might not even remember it, because all the BDSM-ing had begun to blur together. It wasn’t the hair-braiding, per se, but the depressing tedium of the scene overall. But when he led her into his pleasure chamber for round two, something clicked. When he made the first “Laters, Baby” joke, I thought: well-played. When he sensually buckled her helicopter seatbelt, I thought: looks fun. The second Red Room visit, when Christian braids Anastasia’s hair, is the one that did it for me. When Ana said to leave, he left.When he braids my hair in the second Red Room scene: When Ana wanted Christian to sleep in the bed with her, he obliged. When she became angry that Christian visited with an old flame, he flew to her to apologize. He was furious about her going to Georgia to visit her mother, but she left anyway.
After Anastasia bit her lip and got Christian to outline everything he wanted to do to her at that very moment, she left.ĭid she ever sign that contract Christian insisted upon having in order to have a relationship? Not in the first book or in the first movie.ĭid Christian stop her from doing anything she wanted to do? Never. At the end of the scene, Christian expressed his want to have sex with her in his work conference room.
Steele was fine with leather cuffs and intrigued by handcuffs, but she refused to be restrained by masking tape.
When she finally did respond, she asked for a business meeting to negotiate the terms of the contract. When Christian gave her a contract and asked her to consider, she kept him waiting for an answer. Steele had no experience with the sexual kink that Christian asked her to consider, but it was never forced upon her.
