"Fifty Shades Darker" has been in theaters since February 10. Reviews have been published and fans have made their opinions and conclusions known. What is there to talk about the movie aside from it has received enormous spankings from the critics? There is still one more - the book and the screen comparison.
As with most books to big screen adaptations, there are always deviations and in "Fifty Shades Darker" there are some glaring scenes that were totally ignored. First, good thing there is lesser sex than in the book. Since sex scenes in the movie are more of an abnormal sexual behavior the movie could have received more whips from the critics. The ice cream scene, the boat, and the pool table sex scenes were totally abandoned. Reuters reported that the author-producer promises a darker story line in the film version.
Second, Jamie Dornan's character Christian Grey's psychiatrist, Dr. Flynn was omitted from the movie. His and attendance, conversation, and dance with Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson) during the masquerade ball were absent in the movie.
Third, Ethan (Ana's brother) story where he arrives while Leila is poking a gun at Ana then they had a talk after the incident. The "Fifty Shades Darker" movie version sees Ana walking through the rain after the bout with Leila.
Fourth, the opening in the book tells Grey emailing an invitation for the gallery show while in the movie; the duo met at the show itself then had a dinner after where he asks her to come back to him. The kiss at the alley of the gallery before they left was also missing in the movie.
Fifth, there was no first dance auction in the film version that the book has where Grey spent huge money to have a dance with Ana. Elena told Ana in the book not to hurt Christian again but in the movie, she tells Steele that she cannot change Christian and he has needs she cannot meet. According to Entertainment Weekly, Elena's "blackmailed" story was total cut.
Sixth, in E.L. James' book, the proposal happened when both are totally awake after the Leila argument. Later, Grey took Steele to the house he wants to buy for her. In the film, Grey popped the question after Steele woke him up after a nightmare where he falls back to sleep again. She has known that he meant it the morning after.
Seventh, in the book Kate, Ana's best friend found her emails to Grey about a contract negotiation. In the film, Kate has no much opinion. What is more exciting, the book or the movie version? "Fifty Shades Darker" is still in the theaters.
