'Fifty Shades of Grey' could join ranks of 'Harry Potter,' 'Twilight'
FIFTY SHADES OF GREY/UNIVERSAL STUDIOS
For decades, films have emerged with bestselling novels to create famous images to go with our favorite stories, and consequently, produced images that stick in our memory forever.
The novel-film combo has been done successfully with many novels and series including "The Godfather," "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter", "Twilight" and countless others.
A specific series of novels, "Fifty Shades of Grey," written by British novelist E.L. James, is the most popular erotic romance novel of the 21st century and will, like many other novels, become a favorite film following its release this Friday. Feb. 13.
But is the release date a coincidence or the icing on the cake to your Valentine's Day weekend? Since the novel hit shelves across America in 2011, a vast variety of opinions popped up on social media sites regarding the book's content.
According to Forbes, 100 million copies of the
After the release of the first "Fifty Shades of Grey" film, it is rumored there will be two sequels that will cover the other two books., "Fifty Shades Darker" and "Fifty Shades Freed."
first book sold faster than any adult novel in history, evidence that many loved the book. There was even a special screening Feb. 5 in New York City open to 100 viewers, and the feedback was positive when talking about not just the movie, but also the more violent sex scenes. The viewers said it was a positive experience.
there is nothing romantic about it.
On the other hand, many are taking a different stance on this book and the soon-to-be-released film. Some believe the book makes women look feeble-minded and weak and that the book is essentially about domestic violence when parts of the story are taken out. Many people have taken to Twitter to express their disdain for the book and soon-to-be movie through the hashtag #fiftydollarsnotfifty-shades.
Tweets containing this tag have touched on the fact that, though the film premieres on Valentine's Day weekend.
For many fans, this is more than just a film; it's a new subculture. The notion of a book or film sparking a subculture is nothing new. "Twilight" forced viewers to side with Edward or Jacob and "Harry Potter" encouraged fans to figure out which house they would be in if they attended
Hogwarts.
While there are no teams per se with "Fifty Shades of Grey", the new "sex culture" that seems to have been created is generating controversy over less fictional predicaments and is encouraging conversations about hotly-debated topics that truly matter.
