What started as Twilight fan fiction became one of the most successful and controversial film trilogies of the last 10 years. This refers to the Fifty Shades of Gray films, which turned EL James’ novels into three films that grossed over a billion dollars at the global box office.
VOX will broadcast the first part of Fifty Shades of Gray on Thursday. If the sadomasochistic eroticism is too soft or silly for you, you can get the more explicit replacement on Netflix.
That’s what Fifty Shades of Gray is about
In the plot of the novel adaptation, 21-year-old student Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) makes contact with billionaire Christian Gray (Jamie Dornan), whom she wants to interview for her university newspaper. She quickly falls for the mysterious man and embarks on a romance with him, which opens up the world of sadomasochism to her.
The more explicit Fifty Shades alternative is 365 Days on Netflix
You can get the rougher Fifty Shades version with a Netflix subscription. 365 Days revolves around Laura (Anna Maria Sieklucka), who is kidnapped by mafia boss Massimo (Michele Morrone) while on a trip to Sicily. In 365 days he wants to make Laura fall in love with him. This leads to explicit scenes, which make the moments between Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan’s characters seem prudish. 365 Days has now become a trilogy on Netflix.
Fifty Shades of Gray is on on VOX on September 14, 2023 at 8:15 p.m. This is a cut FSK 12 version. In addition to the FSK 16 cinema version you get on Amazon the longer FSK 18 version with more explicit details. *
