The new trailer for Sam Taylor-Johnson’s Fifty Shades of Grey has angered viewers in the US after it was aired at 8am during NBC’s Today programme.
The “Fifty Shades of Grey” movie trailer is “absolutely a misrepresentation” of what is in the book, said Gail Dines, a professor of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock College in Boston. “It advertises it as a love affair and erotic sex — what it’s really about is abuse and violence, and the grooming of a young girl into sadistic sex,” said Ms. Dines, who is also a founding member of Stop Porn Culture.
The newly released trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey deceives the public with a visually appealing melodramatic love story that romanticizes and normalizes sexual violence.
