’50 Shades Freed’: The hot and dramatic ending to Ana and Christian’s married life
“Fifty Shades Freed” is the final part of a trilogy based on the novel by female author E.L. James published in 2011.
Then the first episode of the series called Fifty Shades Of Gray directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson was released in 2015. Despite receiving many mixed reviews, the film was successful in terms of box office revenue. Fifty Shades of Gray has caused Universal to continue to “green light” the next two episodes of this series. Following the second part Fifty Shades Darker in 2017, the final part Fifty Shades Freed will bring the audience to extremely daring “hot” scenes accompanied by ever-higher conflicts between our two main characters.
After Christian Gray (Jamie Dornan) proposed marriage to Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) in the previous episode, in this Fifty Shades Freed, the couple promised each other in a wedding ceremony with the presence of family and friends. close friends before going on a honeymoon to romantic cities around the world, including, of course, magnificent Paris. However, the honeymoon did not last as planned because of the appearance of Jack Hyde (Eric Johnson). Jack then decided to challenge the couple to get back what he wanted.
Meanwhile, Ana ignoring Christian’s words caused many conflicts in their relationship. Ana must learn to adapt to a life full of privilege as Grey, while Christian must also try to live with Ana’s independent nature, while accepting his desire to continue working as an editor for her local publisher. The couple worked together to resolve disagreements and spend more time with family members. The moment Ana discovered she was pregnant, combined with Jack’s appearance, was when everything became much more complicated than before.
The creative team of Fifty Shades Darker continues to return in the Fifty Shades Freed project, the script is written by Niall Leonard (also E.L. James’s husband) and James Foley is in the director’s chair. Similar to Fifty Shades Darker, Fifty Shades Freed still sticks relatively closely to the novel. The only unfortunate thing is that the conflicts and contradictions are built so excessively that many audiences feel that the story line is extremely unconvincing.
In the previous two films, both Ana and Christian have not been fully exploited on a personal level. On the other hand, the third part immediately focused on the complicated married life of both of them and this made the character development process not very complete. Johnson and Dornan played their roles very well with more diverse nuances than the previous two parts. For example, an indifferent Christian is sometimes extremely charming, or Ana is a shy and clumsy girl but has moments of being very “boss”.
Fifty Shades Freed revolves around the conflict between Ana and Christian and the general conflict with Jack, but in the end both story lines are built relatively weakly. The story line about Jack lasts from part two to part three for the purpose of adding action elements but does not fit well with the overall atmosphere of the story. Of course, what attracts readers the most is not the plot or the characters’ personalities at all, but the unique and daring “hot” scenes between the two main characters. The romantic novel genre with BDSM elements has made Fifty Shades of Gray attract the curiosity of women and become a global phenomenon since the day the movie version was released. Although Fifty Shades Freed meets the audience’s expectations in the above aspect, unfortunately, the film’s storyline is still quite fragmented and unconvincing. Besides, the screenwriter does not really take advantage of the full potential and exploit the potential of Fifty Shades Freed. Thoroughly exploit the characters, both main and supporting.
In short, Fifty Shades Freed is still a highly entertaining movie. Readers who love the novel will be very satisfied with this film adaptation. At the same time, the audience who has been following Ana and Christian’s journey so far has finally had a satisfying ending to the story. Fifty Shades Freed is difficult to satisfy demanding viewers, but the film will definitely not disappoint loyal fans of this series.
