Hello,
I'm new here so if this is in the wrong place, or is inappropriate then please correct (or delete) it.
I am currently studying 'Professional Writing and Editing' at University and have to give a presentation where we've been given free rein to choose any topic within the very broad category of the course. At the moment I'm thinking about doing it on how some books (or tv shows/movies etc) can deliver completely polarising messages to the audience.
So my biggest focus of this, as it's a relevant, current debate between my friends, is 50 Shades of Grey.
Before I commit to this being my topic I'd like to just see what research on the topic would come up with, so I'm just posting on several different forums looking for general impressions about the book or movie.
So ideally I'd like to know.
1. Did you like the book/movie? (you can have a different answer for both if you do, that's fine)
2. Why do/don't you like it?
3. What message, if any, you took from the book/movie?
4. Do you know anyone in real life who also read/watched it and is their opinion the same or different to yours?
5. If it was different to yours, did you think their interpretation was justified, or do you feel they missed something within the text?
However, even if you just want to put 'loved it' or 'don't ask me this crap' then that's fine too.
Thanks for your time
