Watching the Story of O. Thoughts? - 6/12/2010 3:56:03 PM

Status: offline 		I've gotten a hold of it before, but it was in French with some weird Swedish subtitles or somethin' (I actually have no idea what language the subtitles were in). I'm about to watch it now in English.

I've noticed before that people seem to either really like or dislike this movie. Would anyone care to offer their opinions on it? I literally just started it, opening credits are finishing now, so it would be interesting to get a few replies while I watch :)

I actually have a bit of a problem when I read the book before I watch the movie. I enjoy films for their own sake, and when I read the book beforehand I feel as if I already know everything that's going to happen. For me, it ruins the film. So I do often prefer to watch the movie first, as the problem does not go both ways.

Status: offline 		Same here, That way also I'm not disappointed when the film deviates from the original (book) too much. Most recent example, Neets and I watched the first two seriec of True Blood before I bought her the boxed series of books. Mind you I am glad I read the LoR trilogy years ago long ere the films were made and read the HP books first too.

Agreed.  The characters seemed like wooden soldiers being pushed through their paces than real people.  And it began the ridiculous premise that masters are wealthy landowners with no earthly worries such as a job or family.

I think it's worth the read, just because of the story. It's been alluded to so much in so much other erotic/BDSM literature that it's worthwhile to read for the background.

Haven't seen the movie yet; no matter how bad it is, though, I'll probably get around to it.

Status: offline 		both the book and movie I found boring and unrealistic.

Too many "newbies" think that O is the bible of bdsm and I blame it for some of the idiocy we see posted on these boards.

You mean... my master has to work and won't live in a big mansion and won't have enough money to buy me all the gifts I will most certainly earn?

Seen 3 different versions of the film, all crap.

Status: offline 		I read the book years ago very early on in my exploration. At the time I appreciated it, but I probably appreciated many things I shouldn't have. I've seen two versions of the movie, both soft porn and both garbage. I dig how you're rating the movie on the racks of the chicks though...LOL!
