50 SHADES DARKER – TRAILER REVIEW
I’ve
been waiting for the longest time for the 50 Shades Darker trailer since it’s
my favorite book of the trilogy (by a close margin with 50 Shades Freed).
In the
50 Shades of Grey, we’ve met the dark Christian who was tormented by his terrible
childhood and still invariably under the influence of the Bitch Troll since he
believed that Elena gave him an outlet to release his pent up emotions (not
that we’re not grateful for that since he became the sex God under her
perverted tutelage though I’m still not liking her for the troll she is).
I
wanted to wait for a few days to see what others would say about the trailer. I’m
surprised and (rolling my eyes big time) that people still call 50 Shades a “porn
movie”. Just get over it! It’s not porn. It’s a beautiful love story that just
doesn’t conceal the hot, erotic, loving, and overwhelming relationship
Christian and Anastasia has. Why should it be hidden and just assumed that they
just might be having sex? What the couple has is more than fucking. The bond
they have is binding, loving, passionate, and unbreakable; this is not a random
one night stand story. It is an intense love story. A story all the fans love.
Now,
let’s get down the brass tacks…
Of
course I expected the masked ball scene in the beginning. It’s the theme of the
book after all. The real and the proverbial masks are on and then off in the
second book. I think Dakota does a great job in portraying a stronger Ana, finding
herself, growing up. Jamie, well he seems
Christian personified. When I saw him showing up in the Jose’s photography
exhibition in the trailer, I found myself grinning ear to ear. I think that
part is changed in the movie since Christian took Ana to the exhibition in the
book, but I suppose that bit of change is okay.
One
thing I was disappointed about the trailer was, Elena. Of course many of us envisioned a different
Elena; maybe Charlize Theron, Michelle Pfeiffer, or even Sharon Stone. I loved
Kim Basinger in 9 ½ Weeks. How could we
not adore her? She was the original submissive. She played amazing scenes with Mickey
Rourke. However, in recent years, she’s been dressing up in more masculine
clothes in her personal life, and that seemed to be reflected in the movie
which is just not Elena. Yes, she does dress up all in black and that’s how she
was supposed to be in the 50 Shades Darker, but, from that tiny glimpse I got,
she seemed to have been totally covered up in a manly suit and she didn’t
appear to be the immaculate diva she’s always been. I will have to see the
entire film to form a better opinion on her portrayal.
Aaand
the shower scene… Oh, that was fabulous! Of course it was only three seconds of
tease.
50
Shades Darker has one nightmare after another in the book: first Elena
(trolling), then Leila (breaking in, gun point hostage situation), Jack Hyde
(cornering Ana in the office) and finally Charlie Tango going down with
Christian. Of course, there’s also the unanswered proposal. I’m so looking
forward to seeing how they have portrayed Christian’s marriage proposal and Ana’s
answer. What I didn’t see in the trailer is Dr. Flynn. Hopefully, he’s not cut
out of the story. It’d be a shame if it was. He’s an integral character to the
story and Christian’s personal growth.
All
in all, I’m quite pleased, and anxiously waiting for the movie to come out on
Valentine’s Day 2017!
On a
personal note, I’ve been working myself to death (literally – I’ve had
pneumonia twice this year; recovering from the second one which brought me
close to dying), burying loved ones (father figured passed away in my arms back
in May) personal growth, family time (helping my 13 y/o daughter graduate high
school 4 years ahead of her peers and going into an Ivy League college),
writing new books (not yet published but they will be), and of course missing
Christian and Ana (I’m back on them again this month). Sometimes, we have to take
a break to focus on ourselves, regroup so we can be the giving individuals
again. Well, I’m back :)
Hugs
to you all!

saudades dos novos capítulos..
Welcome back
I look forward to read again the story Christian and Ana.
Will you ever think of writing about the submissive of Christian for example a meeting between them or they story with Christian?
In the trailer I thought of Elena in a way more sexy with a dress and all arranged,and I'm anxious to see Leila and Jack.
I look forward to seeing the film, I could be wrong about Elena, but I am totally addicted to the trailer I can not stop seeing.
I'm anxious to see the whole movie because I think I will love <3.
Love you're thoughts on this...I am equally excited to see this movie.
I miss you and our chats..... I do pray you are on the mend..... and that you are taking care of yourself. As well I hope you are holding up ok.
We have been dealing with a lot of personal stress over the last few months and it totally takes it's toll on a person ....Thinking about you.
Miss you and thank you for this. ... xo

Welcome back Emine♡
We miss you very much♡
welcome back,and as always I love your thoughts on our beloved trilogy. I loved the trailer, Elena, well I will wait and see. I can see Kim B. portraying her, I think she can handle the facial expressions, demeanor etc.....as far as clothing, well I suppose I can overlook that if she makes us hate her even more....sorry to hear that you were so ill, and glad that you are doing better, and a big Congratulations to that daughter of yours.....that's quite a load on a young girls shoulder, but I have the feeling she can handle it. Love you writing and hope we hear more from you in the near future.....and thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us.
I hope you are doing well looking forward to seeing the next chapter of a walk in the clouds but will you be coming out with the 2nd book of echoes of eternity I don't know about the movie 50th shades darker I couldn't get into the movie 50th shades of grey I know that the movie would be different from the book but some things have to come out like what the book have and I didn't see it in the movie so to put it in a nut shell I didn't like it much hope you are doing well and your family too can't wait for the next echoes of eternity and will you be adding Christian part of a walk in the clouds in the book because he is mostly in the book five that would be interesting lol

Oi Emine
Estou muito feliz por você estar de volta e estar bem, parabéns para sua filha por ter entrado em uma das melhores faculdades. Espero ansiosamente por mais um capítulo da nossa amada família Grey, gostaria de ler mais sobre esse lado pai do Christian, sobre momentos dele cuidando do filho e se apegando mais e mais a cada dia, até perceber de fato que Teddy foi uma das melhores coisas que aconteceu a ele seguido de Ana, seria interessante ler também sobre ter ou não um batizado do baby. Enfim... explorar o crescimento do fofo do Teddy com os pais que é o casal que a gente tanto ama.

Hi dear Emine I totally agree with you about the movie and about Kim. I've loved her since 9 weeks and half but I want to see more in this role. I hope that "Darker" respect the book and show all the LOVE between this two fantastic people. It's not a porn movie, this is about LOVE. Porn is without feelings, and in this story LOVE is the main theme. I can't wait to see this movie ����
Thank you dear to write for us, I'll wait you forever!!
And thank you for fifty and for Masque. Love to the moon and back ������
Welcome back! ♡ U!
