[Anime vs cinema] 50 shades of gray or nana and kaoru.

Recently, there was a blog on the forum, if you compare anime and films with a similar theme of what will be better? For the first time, I decided to take one of the bestsellers, in the BDSM genre of the melodrama, the past year, which has four books (one book is a retelling of the first book on behalf of Gray) and one film, and in contrast I will put manga with a small anime adaptation “Nana and Kaoru. »

Let’s start with a sad, with a trilogy of 50 shades. Of course, the best -selling bestseller could not be left without a film adaptation.

The trilogy grew out of the fan fiction on Twilight. Duelz Casino sister sites What can be said about the book: it is boring, the repetitions and emptiness of the heroes will pursue you from the first page of the book. A meager description of everything, repetition of words, and most importantly the banal plot, which does not even try to seem something else. After reading the book, only 2 questions arise: why none of the heroes turned to the psychiatrist and and as the end of the trilogy, the lower lip was preserved, which she had to rush before the blood? BDSM in the book is not like that, eroticism is full, but it does not save it, because it is described as boring as everything else in the book ..
From bad to worse.

If the assessment of the book 3 out of 10, then the film deserves 0/10. No truth, this film is bad in everything that five nominations for golden raspberries are talking about (the worst film, the worst actor, the worst actress, the worst script and the worst screen ensemble.)
For the sake of Rating R (originally the rating was NC-17), everything that could be cut out of it. Well, since the original did not have decent dialogs, they got what they received. It is worth noting that in the book the story comes on behalf of the main character, so the script was immediately reduced when a bunch of monologues and sex scenes were cut out. The selection of actors also raises questions: Christian Cook, Dominic Cooper, Stephen Amell were listening to the role of Gray … for the role of Anastacia Lucy Hale and Daniel Panabaker, secondary actors were also selected with blindfolded eyes. The characters in the film began to enrage even more than in the book. I will not retell the film from beginning to end, it is better to watch Badcomediana review, cheer up your mood.
The film received only negative reviews from both critics and from BDSM (this is from English, BDSM, that is, Bondage, Domination, Sado-Maso or, in Russian, binding, dominance, sado-Mazo. ) communities. Why did the film not like the BDSM community? And everything is simple. What is shown in the film and the book contradicts the main principle of this subculture: security, rationality, voluntariness. The main claims are unrealistic scenes, too much violence and unhealthy relations. Gray violates all the rules that you can. For sessions, a billionaire buys tools in a construction store, uses a leather belt and hits for prohibited places (breasts and stomach), except the unhealthy behavior of a hero, which requires intervention, at least a psychologist. Add here a bunch of stamps like, a rich means dominant.
Why did I mention the psychiatrist above? And everything is simple: Anastasia, in the manner of the dester, has an internal goddess, and Gray is just a sadist (of course, everything according to the canon, with a difficult childhood). And I will ask you not to confuse the concepts of a dominant with a sadist. In the first case, nothing threatens you, in the second case, you run the risk of running into troubles. From the point of view of the BDSM, the film is not safe, but rather a manual, how to do it.
Result.
The book became popular because it simultaneously collected several topics that satisfy the main internal and social needs, the needs of most of us. The first is a taboo that was turned into a spectacle. The second is money, condition, social status: Gray – rich, “cool”, prestigious. The third is the chosenness: Anastasisha’s simpletche becomes a tidbine piece for the smallest talented millionaire handsome. The popularity was also affected by the fact that the book was sold in electronic form “Cinderella” in a new way, a cloying fairy tale with a happy ending, about how love can heal the sadist. In reality, such a story would have no place, but everything ended with a page from the book « American Psychopath ». Books can still be made a discount that it grew out of fan fiction by dusk, and even there you can laugh. The film causes only boredom and its viewing can be attributed to torture.

« Nana and Kaoru »- romance with a rope.

Now we will consider anime and manga nana and kaoru. The story is conducted about two high school students of the second year: about the vice president of the student council Tegus Nana and about the non-pound student Sugimur Kaoru. If you draw parallels with 50 shades, then everything is easier. Kaoru, unlike Gray, is not a millionaire and does not have a beautiful body and face, and there was no difficult childhood either, he doesn’t suffer from sadism, he just likes BDSM. Unlike a billionaire, the protagonist is purchased in a sex shop, and not in a construction store, in a partner’s flogging is not a leather belt, but with his hand. Realism is much more than in 50 shades.
The plot begins with the main character comes a leather suit. True, he will not awaken him for a long time, for the poor grades his mother Sugimur Vaka confiscates the suit and gives him to storage Nana, the same decides to try it on, at the same time, inadvertently, the castle. Kaoro agrees to remove the costume, but only if Nana pares him. As a result, Nana discovers that such games increase its performance and its entertainment with the Kaor BDSM become regular. Secondary characters, also show themselves well: Batecanka Tati Ryoko, teacher Nana, seller of sex shop Tachiban Mitsuko, president of the student council and his sister. The hero of the manga Kaoru himself did not come out with his appearance, and he received a nickname, of course, this causes his complexes, because Nana is his opposite: tall, smart, beautiful and naturally has fans. Throughout manga, it is interesting to observe the development of the relations of heroes, and this is one of the main details of the plot.
The main plot here is paid to the attitude of the characters, their feelings to each other, and how these feelings manifest themselves during the « fraguine ». Later, the Manga Board (Nana to Kaoru: Black Label), in which the partner of the dominant of Tachiban was presented, and the part -time writer BDSM Romanov Sarasin X.
One OVA series is shot along the manga, which talks about 2 chapters (about trying on a leather suit and the first bondage session) with a chic drawing and animation and 2 good drama.

Manga has a wonderful drawing. It is realistic and observes the proportions of the body (breasts of 8 are not expected.) and high details of the situation, and angles and poses for 5+. I note that the manga, although it refers to the section of eroticism, as such a pronounced hentai in it, is a work about the relationship and psychology of BDSM, about the trust, which in BDSM is simply necessary.
Who won?
Of course, the manga won with her little adaptation. Yes, you can find fault and say that you compare 17 year old high school students with adults. But only Anastashia is 21 years old, and I have been 27 years old. Firstly, the difference is not great, and secondly, in the manga there are also an adult couple in whom relations are revealed for 5 chapter than 3 books.
If we compare the highlights of both works according to the criteria, then in 50 shades the BDSM theme is not disclosed, and contains a bunch of stamps with harmful tips. In terms of the plot, the film also does not stand criticism, the books are better, but not much.
