The Reaction of Fifty Shades of Grey The movie, Fifty Shades of Grey, portrayals its dominant ideology sexuality through the story between two main characters: a female literature student named Anastasia Steele, and a young male billionaire Christian Grey. In this movie, it indicates strong traditional heterosexuality, and it reflects the gender roles about submission and dominance, which leads to gender inequality through misinformation. Although entertaining and refreshing, this movie brings more negative impacts more than positive ones. The first intimacy they encounter is a long kiss in the evaluator initiated by Christian. He always signs the contract with the lady before he can touch her. However, Ana was an exception to this rule …show more content…
However, when Christian asks for sexual habits of Ana, she cannot come up with an answer because she is still a virgin. Consequently, Christian becomes surprised and excited and begins hugging and kissing her. Also, he does a lot of foreplay to make Ana relaxed, and she groans and twists her body without control. Overall, Ana enjoys her first sexual intercourse. Compare to what Christian proclaims earlier, he sleeps with Ana on the same bed that night, which gives Ana a false sense of security just like other new couples.
There are more details of sexuality in the movie. For example, when Ana is on her way with Christian to the conference room to discuss the contract, he puts his hands on Ana’s hips in public. This action contains strong sexual meanings. Furthermore, Ana’s admirer, Jose, puts a jacket on her, and hugs her tightly. These actions are also categories of

There should be emotional supports and protections. The couple should communicate with each other and care about each other. It’s not a comparison about who is inferior or superior, as both people should take responsibilities. More importantly, if a relationship turns traumatizing or malicious, the side of victims should consider leaving immediately to prevent getting entrapped in a vicious cycle both physically and psychologically, just like what Ana has done in the movie; her courage and instinct are what I should learn from her. A lot of women get trapped in their relationships, even under the incredible abuse of domestic violence and psychological torments, they often become silent and fail to acknowledge their abusive environment and will continue to find excuses just to cope through the day; that is something I should not tolerate, as no loving relationships would thrive when one party takes complete control over the other one.
If I meet the wrong person or being forced to do something, I should reject and leave immediately. This movie brings a lot of thinking about sexuality, sexual orientation and gender issues, and it does influence audiences in many different

"For the first time in their lives, Tita and Pedro made love freely" (243). The novel ends with both Pedro and Tita, overcome with pleasure and emotion, dying in each other arms.
Overall the film was a very informative film for a more homophobic audience. The content was relatable and connected well with the information and discussions that have been within our society for a long time. It was a well-done film that really questions the homophobic opinions and while this is still a very real debate in today’s society the film does a great job at arguing the homophobic opinions.
The pastor in the story, Chris Hartman, conceals his crippling lust until a hysteric breakdown finally overtakes him in which he claims, “What I took to be a trial of my soul was only a preparation for a new and more beautiful fervor of the spirit. God has appeared to me in the person of Kate Swift, the school teacher, kneeling naked on a bed” (263). This quotation ironically depicts Chris Hartman’s need to validate his sin by claiming to be in the presence of Jesus incarnated as a women, rather than owning up to what is simply carnal
...anate seed. Her white neck and a glimpse of her full, firm bosom disturbed him powerfully" (667). This passion leads to physical touching, congering up past passionate feelings towards one another, ultimately leading to their intercourse.
Mainstream movies are about men’s lives, and the few movies about women’s lives, at their core, still also revolve around men (Newsom, 2011). These female leads often have male love interests, looking to get married or get pregnant. Strong independent female leads are still exist for the male view, as they are hypersexualized, or the “fighting fuck toy,” (Newsom, 2011). This depiction has created a culture where women are insecure and waiting for a knight on a horse to come rescue and provide for her as well as the acceptance of women
...noted to consist of more sexual themes than it did thirty years ago, a fact that changes the way erotic objectification can be analyzed as it can be considered to be more frequent and general but therefore also less purposely objectifying concerning the characters sex.
There is a lot of sex in the novel, most of it celebrating the size and potency of the Buendia men's phalluses or the lubricity of the women. Sex can be used to combat solitude, because of its power to connect one person to another. Even the two rapes in the novel result in close bonding: Jose Arcadio Buendia rapes his bride Ursula to begin the family line (second chapter), and the last Aureliano rapes Amaranta Ursula (who is not, however, very resistant), who will bring forth the last of the line.
I felt in my heart a wicked, burning desire that they would kiss me with those red lips. It is not good to note this down, lest some day it should meet Mina’s eyes and cause her pain, but it is the truth. The fair girl shook her head coquettishly, and the other two urged her on. One said, “Go on! You are the first, and we shall follow. Yours is the right to begin.” The other added, “He is young and strong. There are kisses for us all.” I lay quiet, looking out from under my eyelashes in an agony of delightful anticipation (39).
In the movie Silver Linings Playbook there are two main characters, Pat and Tiffany, whom portray a type of mental illness. Below, I will explain each character in regards to their symptoms and portrayal of mental illness and compare the information discussed in the Abnormal Psychology Textbook.
During the beginning scenes of the movie, development of sexual behavior was shown. Sam filled out a questionnaire that was written inside of a note that was passed to her. Inside the note read sexual questions such as, “Have you ever touched it? Have you ever done it?”. Questions like these show how sexual interests and desires arise during these years of adolescence. Nationally, 47.5 percent of twelfth-graders, 39 percent of eleventh-graders, 30 percent of tenth-graders, and 21 percent of ninth-graders reported that they were currently sexually active (Eaton & others, 2012). Therefore, it was not surprising to me that questions like these were being asked in high
After their first encounter, Anastasia and Christian both agree on some dominance-submission terms as the relationship progresses. Fifty Shades of Grey currently makes the top of my favourites list. I first heard about Fifty Shades of Grey from a few close friends who couldn’t stop talking about Christian Grey’s impeccable looks, charming and bossy personality, and sexual abilities. After a lot of convincing, I read the book; I needed to understand why the book was so popular, and what it was about that intrigued millions of young girls and women. The first time I read it, I couldn’t stop- it was intriguing, enthralling, different, and realistic.
Love is a word that’s been both miss-used and over-used all at once. Romantic movies change our definition of and have a big impact on this definition greatly. There have been many movies and novels made over love, but never like this. “The Notebook” is a love story about unconditional love that two people have for each other. This emotionally, heart touching story will have your eyes blood-shot and burning from you not wanting to blink your eyes. This tremendously wonderful love story will have you not wanting to even miss a millisecond of this heart throbbing film. With many plot twists and many scenes that will have you falling off of your seat and you not having any nails by the end of the movie, this is the movie for you. This emotionally rich film is full of action, laughter, and romance, which is the perfect trio combination. This movie shows us how love can bind us together forever. This film went above and
...ediately. A relationship is never be easy going the entire time. Arguments do happen, but in positive and healthy relationships neither party should ever use physical force to get what they want. Healthy relationships involve mutual respect in contrast to unhealthy relationships when the abuser uses violence to solve every problem. Abusive relationships can go undetected until it is too late. There are many reasons why both men and women stay in abusive relationships. Victims stay with their abusers because they are mentally dependent, and afraid for their lives. Also, if children are involved, they don’t want them to be without a father. Furthermore, learning about the Social Learning Theory, we need to stop the violence before it becomes a pattern in the family. If this behavior continues, an on-going cycle of violence could easily carry on for generations to come.
Most reviewers overall enjoyed the movie very much. Christopher Null gave the movie four out of five stars and said it was “perfection and a good memorable film”. Steven Rhodes also says it is a good film “It's the sort of film that will leave you exhausted but glad you came.” (http://www.imdb.com/Reviews/210/21041) However from a woman’s point of view the film was barbaric and violent, “it's socially irresponsible and repellent in its graphic depictions of extreme violence and brutality,” says Susan Granger. (http://www.speakers-podium.com/susangranger.) I, however, even though I am a female I enjoyed the film very much. It has become one of my favorite movies because I feel like I can relate to the topic very much because I wish I was just able to let go and do what I really want to do. Everyone has his or her own opinion of things so you should see the movie and see how you react to it.
...f this film include sexual content, violence and graphic details. But, when viewing this film we have to be aware of this and only let children see this movie if the adults feel that it will not affect them in any way, such as making them feel that this behavior is appropriate or any other thing that might be in their minds.
