(RUN.) Later he buys the publishing company she works for. He is rude to the waiter and orders food for her. That’s not how it works, dipshit.) This was her first hint to RUN. (Ana is simply surrounded by men who do not secure her consent for anything! She was appalled to see that Jose’s show was nothing but photos of her, and he admits that he never asked her permission because he knew she’d say no. Instead of telling him “Tough shit, that’s none of your concern, not just because we’re no longer together but that’s a good place to start,” Ana (Johnson: How to Be Single, Black Mass) gives in to his demand that he have dinner with her so that he can convince her to come back to him. “I don’t like strangers gawking at you,” Christian tells her when she is angry to discover that he’s the one who purchased all the photographic portraits of her her friend Jose (Victor Rasuk: Godzilla, Stop-Loss) is showing at a gallery. But there’s nothing there except her dim awareness of how profoundly bad a person he is that she simply keeps shuffling away for no reason that we can determine. We should be able to read between the lines to understand what Ana sees in Christian. But we should at least be able to presume that Ana sees something in Christian that the director can’t (in that way that women have always had to do when it comes to male-gazey movies, which is all of them even when they’re allegedly from a woman’s perspective). That would be even more horrific than Darker already is. On the other hand: thank god Foley doesn’t attempt to fool us into believing that the possessive and controlling Christian is appealing (though Foley probably doesn’t know how to do that).

This is not a movie that appreciates women and what women want it is a movie that insults women. Foley never treats Dornan’s body with the same visual hunger as he does that damn boat.Īttention, ladies who like this movie: The male director thinks you are more turned on by the money a man has than the man himself. Director James Foley ( House of Cards) treats Christian’s yacht, which features in an extended sequence of seafaring pornery, the same way he does actor Dakota Johnson’s nearly naked body: as an object of desire. Christian has money, it’s true… but even in one’s fantasies, this shouldn’t be all a man has to offer. He is a vacant hunk in a sharp suit… and actor Jamie Dornan ( Anthropoid, Marie Antoinette) doesn’t seem to be capable of bringing any sort of charisma or charm to him, not even of an awful smarmy kind. But where is the fantasy? What is the fantasy? Christian Grey has nothing to offer Ana (or the presumptive straight-female viewer): nothing. This is supposed to be the excuse that makes Fifty Shades of Abuse okay.
