The release of the most famous film of the year “50 Shades of Grey” (Fifty Shades of Grey), based on the bestseller of the same erotic title from British author EL James and director Sam Taylor-Johnson, has sparked a buzz worldwide. Lots of collective laughter over the dialogue mainly from Dakota Johnson who had to spend in bed with Jamie Dornan, totally naked. This story talks about the relationship between a young student of literature and a millionaire businessman.

But the most interesting part of the movie is only in US, manufacturers of toys and sex aids have seen in recent weeks, including some Target stores, with the wide promotion that has received of this film, many sales have boosted of some of these products. According to some sources,  they use in their sex, characters Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, a phenomenon that has already occurred after the novel publication in 2011.

Another expensive aspect of this film is all compulsive marketing. Apparently, the new standard operating procedure is to fabricate some sort of controversy and disguise your marketing as news. As a viewer of this film, I think this is only a good product of sales and unfortunately she reflects something sad due she gave her soul during a film role instead of during a real intimate moment with someone she truly loves and who loves her in return (but not really). I will never understand why society has felt the need to bring intimate, important, and amazing moments to such a commercialized level in movies and TV. Nothing is sacred anymore…and most women have to learn that a millionaire will not necessarily make you happy.
