Last week, Fifty Shades of Gray officially “swept” cinemas around the world. Because it was adapted from the novel of the same name by writer E.L James, this work has an extremely large fan community. Recently, “true” fans of the story quickly discovered other changes with the original Fifty Shades of Gray after watching this movie.

1. Some supporting characters lack acting space

Christian Gray doesn’t have many people close to him, but at least in the original story, that number is slightly higher than the movie version. Taylor – the billionaire’s driver plays a big role in the relationship between Christian and Ana. Taylor’s most “classic” scene in Fifty Shades of Gray is the part where he takes Ana home and gives her a handkerchief to wipe away her tears at the end of the story. However, this scene was omitted from the film.

There are many supporting characters that were not even included in the film by the producers. For example, Christian Gray’s psychiatrist – Dr. Flynn. In the story version, Ana sometimes mentions this character in conversations with Christian. However, in the movie version, Dr. Flynn “disappeared”. Even the character Ethan Kavanagh – Kate’s brother (Ana’s best friend) – also disappeared at his sister’s graduation ceremony. Later, Ethan had a relationship with Mia – Christian’s sister.

2. Fewer “hot” scenes than the story


This is a change that has made the Fifty Shades of Gray fan community extremely dissatisfied and is also the most discussed topic before the film’s release. Because the producer and author E.L James want to direct the audience to a beautiful love story, of course the “hot” scene element will have to be more or less reduced. Not only that, some scenes were also changed in the movie version. For example, the scene where Christian Gray brings Anastasia home for a meal. In the story, the two then have a hot night at Christian’s parents’ houseboat. But when filming, they simply argued about whether Ana would return to Georgia or not next to… the swimming pool.

3. Kate is not as “chatty” as the original Fifty Shades of Gray


According to the original story, Ana’s friend Kate is not a “crazy” Christian Gray fan. Kate admits that Christian is a charming man. But she starts to worry when she sees how her best friend Ana has changed since meeting him. Like the scene where Ana is intimately touched by her lover for the first time. After being beaten, Ana cried all night. In the story version, Christian also returns to Ana’s apartment but is scolded by Kate. This detail has been omitted by the manufacturer.

4. Ana is unemployed… but has a laptop


In the movie version, the screenwriter did not let the main character Anastasia Steele reveal her dream about her future job. According to the original story, Ana mentioned a lot that she wanted to work in the publishing industry and eventually found the job she wanted.

Although this episode was not mentioned in the movie, the scriptwriter revised a segment that, according to readers, was extremely unreasonable. In the story, Ana is a student but doesn’t even have a mediocre laptop. Usually when she needs to use the computer to look up or do work, she asks to borrow it from her friend Kate. In the movie, Ana has her own laptop but it often breaks down. Therefore, Christian still has a reason to buy his lover a new Apple device.

5. Ana’s “confession” at night


Like the story version, the main female character Anastasia Steele often talks in her dreams. When Christian revealed that she had honestly asked him for something while she was sleeping, Ana was very curious to know what she had accidentally said. In fact, the Fifty Shades of Gray script simplified this scene. In the final scene, the screenwriter let Christian Gray mention this episode through the line: “While still asleep, you said you wouldn’t leave me and you begged me not to leave you.” .

6. Personal thoughts and thoughts of female lead Anastasia Steele


In the original Fifty Shades of Gray, readers often easily grasp the feelings and thoughts of the character Ana through each sentence of author E.L James. However, in the film, Ana does not narrate herself, does not speak her heart, but the change in her emotions is largely shown through conversations with other characters and Dakota Johnson’s acting. According to the novel, author E.L James built the story from Anastasia Steele’s point of view. There are many segments that carefully describe this character’s feelings towards Christian Gray and 50his nuances.
Fifty Shades of Gray was released in theaters on February 13, 2015 in Vietnam. In the first three days of release, the film grossed $81.7 million (~ VND 1,471 billion) in the US market alone, rising to second place in the list of “The most popular R-rated movies of all time”. grand”.
