RECENZIJA: Petdeset odtenkov česa? --- Fifty shades of what?

Danes sem pogledala slavnih 50 odtenkov sive. Moram priznati, da mi celoten fenomen že od začetka ni preveč blizu, čeprav sem kupila vse tri knjige. Prvo sem prebrala do tam, kjer Anastasia zaključi s prvim intervjujem s Christianom in sem se naveličala. Če ste brali knjigo (ali gledali film) veste, da prav daleč nisem prišla. Nakup se je torej izkazal bolj kot zame koristen za sosede, prijateljice ipd., ki so si izmenjevale moje knjige. Ko je prišel v kino film, mi niti na pamet ni padlo, da bi ga šla gledat, saj denarja res ne bom plačevala za nekaj, kar slutim, da mi ne bo všeč. Vseeno pa sem rada odprtih misli in sem film pogledala doma.

Prisežem, res sem bila čisto odprta za možnost, da bi mi bil film všeč, a zdaj razumem številne kritike, ki so pisali, da so dvorano zapustili še pred koncem filma. Film je dolgočasen, prizori seksa so daleč od seksi in razburljivega. Malce rešuje celotno predstavo dejstvo, da je glavni igralec, Jamie Dornan res seksi, ampak njegova soigralka, Dakota Johnosn je neverjetno toga in, kako bi se izrazila, brez okusa, brez karakterja, neke prezence, ki naj bi jo tak lik imel.

Tudi ideja seksualne dominantnosti in rdeče sobe iz filma je predstavljena dolgočasno in popolnoma neprivlačno. Sama se ne bom spuščala v obsojanje tovrstnega spolnega izražanja, saj vsak za štirimi stenami svojega doma pač počne kar mu ugaja, ampak v tej zgodbi je ta ideja predstavljena povsem izkrivljeno. V časih, ko se vlogi moškega in ženske velikokrat prepletata na številnih področjih, ko je le redko še kaka stvar tipično moška ali ženska, ko je vse več močnih žensk in podrejenih moških, verjamem, da je seksi ideja, da bi te nek moški nadvladal, oziroma bil močnejši od tebe, predvsem na čustvenem in intelektualnem nivoju. Vendar menim, da za doseganje tega ni potrebno, da ženska postane seksualni objekt, podložna tiha miška, ki vsemu pokima. Za to, da ženske priznamo, da nam pravzaprav ugaja, da je moški res moški, da včasih poskrbi za nas, da je možat in tudi psihično močan, da nas zna podpirati in se lahko zanesemo nanj, ne potrebujemo na drugi strani vreč stran vse svoje integritete in moči. Celotna zgodba se mi zdi popolna za fantazijo kakšne razočarane gospodinje, brez lastne moči, brez kakšnega bolj opaznega karakterja in lastne volje. Žal mi je in res ne želim soditi po videzu, a dejstvo, da je avtorica knjig precej močna gospa srednjih let, si le težko predstavljam, da je to karkoli drugega, kot slabo napisana fantazija, brez dobre zgodbe in večjega pisateljskega talenta.

In kar se mi zdi še večji problem te zgodbe? Ženske se stalno pritožujejo/mo, da ni več dobrih moških, da so same barabe, da delajo z nami grdo... Po drugi strani pa nenehno iščemo prav take moške! Take, ki jih bomo lahko "popravile" in bodo zaradi nas postali boljši. Ta zgodba nas vodi prav v tovrstno razmišljanje in, kolikor sem slišala o razpletu zgodbe, prepričuje ženske, da je lahko moški še tako ranjen, še tako težaven, če ga boš imela rada in mu pomagala ga boš že spremenila. Hvala bogu včasih je tako, saj nekateri pač potrebujejo nekaj pomoči, da se otresejo težav iz preteklosti, velikokrat pa ne.

Še vseeno ne obsojam ljudi, ki so ob branju in gledanju uživali. Konec koncev tudi sama rada pogledam Blondinko s Harvarda, ki je totalen šund, ampak se ob njej sprostim in nasmejim. Vsakomur svoje. Namen filma in literature je tudi razvedrilo, pri tovrstnem filmu in literaturi, za katere je očitno, da nimajo nikakršne večje umetniške vrednosti, pa je razvedrilo praktično edini namen.

Mogoče sem prestroga do filma, ker sem v preteklih dneh in tednih večinoma gledala res kvalitetne filme iz vrst Oskarjevskih nagrajencev in nominirancev, ampak sama sem komaj prišla do konca filma in vem, da ga ne bom več gledala.

Ocena: 1/10

*********************************************************************

Today, I've watched the famous  Fifty shades of Grey. I must admit, that form the very beginning I'm not very fond of the whole phenomenon, tho' I've bought all three books. The first one I've read until the point when Anastasia finishes her first interview with Christian and those of you who watched or read it know, that it's not very far along. My purchase was so more useful for my neighbors and friends, because the books are travelling around ever since. When the movie came to theater, there was no doubt that I'm not gonna go see it, but as I always try to stay open minded, I watched it at home.

I swear! I was open to possibility that I could like the movie, but now that I've seen it I understand many critics that said that they left the hall before the movie ended. The movie is boring, the sex scenes are stiff and nothing like sexy or exciting. Jamie Dornan is really hot, so this is probably the only bright part of the movie, but Dakota Johnson in totally stiff and flavorless, without the essence that this kind of character should have.

The idea of sexual dominance and the red play room from the movie is also presented really boring and totally unattractive. I will not judge that way of sexual expression, because I believe that everyone should do whatever one likes behind the doors of their own bedroom, but in this story, the idea is presented really badly. In times when differences between men and women are often really blended, when in many ways we are more than equal and it's almost hard to find things that are strictly male or female, I think that the idea of a really masculine man who would dominate you or be stronger than you, especially in emotional and intellectual way, can be really sexy. Having said that, I think that in order to letting someone dominate you, you don't have to become sexual object, a quiet little mouse without her own will and saying. A woman, who admits that she likes to have a real man, who can take care of her, be mentally strong and can support her so she can count on him, doesn't need to throw away all her integrity and power. The whole story seems to me like a fantasy of a desperate housewife without her own power, without character and own will. I'm sorry because I really don't want to judge by looks, but the fact that the author is fairly large middle aged woman, I can hardly imagine that this is anything else than poorly written fantasy, without a good storyline or any writing talent.

And what, to me, seems even bigger problem is that the women novadays are always complaining how there are no good men left, how men don't treat us right etc. But on the other hand we search for men who we can "mend" and who will change just for us. This story, as I've heard how it ends, teaches women all over the world, that no matter how screwed up the guy is, if you love him and if you try, he will change for you. In some cases thanks god that it is so, because some people need help with things from the past, but not always.

I still won't judge people who enjoyed watching or reading it. At the end, I myself like to watch Legally Blonde and I know that it's trash, but I relax, enjoy and laugh at it. To each their own. The purpose of movies and literature is also entertainment and at this genre for which is obvious that it lacks any artistic value, the entertainment is primary purpose.

I may be a little to rash with that movie because in the past days and weeks I was mainly watching high quality movies from the lines of Oscar winners and nominees, but I barely made it to the end of the movie and I for sure can say I'm not gonna watch it again.
