"50 shades of black": reviews of the movie

We think everyone knows the well-known film called "50 shades of gray". He became one of the top hits of the rental and collected a huge amount of money. And all this despite the fact that most of the population of our planet considers this movie deprived of any artistic value. In fact, so it is. So there is nothing surprising in that for such a short time there were craftsmen who decided to remove the parody, called "50 shades of black." Reviews about the film are extremely contradictory. Why? This will be discussed in our today's article.

Revival of the parody genre

Marlon Wyans is well known to our viewers. In the late 90's and early 00's, he was, perhaps, the most popular and in-demand black-skinned actor. Wyans had a great sense of humor, which brought him the glory of a comedian. Thanks to his no less talented brothers, who also chose the path of cinema, he was able to build a brilliant career that made him one of the kings of the parody. By the time this genre has outlived itself. Such masters of their craft, as Mel Brooks and Leslie Nielsen, already had no past success and almost retired. The audience wanted something new and more original. What and took advantage of Wyans.

The path from "Do not threaten the South Central" to "50 shades of black"

Marlon Wyans announced himself in 1996, when a comedy with a long title "Do not threaten the South Central, drinking juice in your neighborhood" was released on the screens. Overnight, this made Wyens one of the main modern stars. Thanks to this, he received roles in such cult paintings as "Without Senses" and "Requiem for a Dream", released after a couple of years. But still the most good Wyens was in the parody of the genre, to which he returned in the 00's. A series of films "Very Scary Movie" has become for the cinema a breath of fresh air. For more than ten years no one has so successfully mocked the Hollywood films.

That's just all this made Wyens hostage to this filmmaking. All subsequent parodies were of far inferior quality. A "Shalun" and "House with paranormal phenomena, and at all can be considered a complete failure. And only in 2016 the actor again was able to return to the former level, having performed the main role in the film "50 shades of black," the reviews of which we will consider below.

The plot of the movie

In the center of the plot is a fairly successful man who was able to build a grandiose career. He is the owner of a large successful company, which brings him a solid income. One day a young student comes to him, whose task is to interview. That's only one meeting is not limited to. Already very soon she finds out about his very specific preferences ...

Reviews of the movie "50 shades of black" (2016, 2017)

The film in 2016-2017. Collected extremely conflicting reviews from both viewers and critics. The thing is that not everyone likes this unusual humor used in the film "50 shades of black." In some places, the film slides into an open vulgarity, but still the limits of the permissible do not overlap. Nevertheless, the film "50 shades of black" reviews in most cases collected positive. Haters of the original film for obvious reasons were quite satisfied with what they saw on the screen. The director skillfully beat the plot and was able to create a huge number of really funny gags. Critics say that Wyens is still capable of making the audience laugh, but the actor obviously does not hold out until the best of his work. It is still unclear whether other projects of such a plan will be published in the near future. But let's hope that Wyans will regain its former popularity and will once again be able to please us with really high-quality parody comedies.

"50 shades of black" reviews the positive plan for the fact that the camera work, directing, acting was at the highest level. The film has an extremely modest budget of $ 5 million. But during the viewing it is completely not noticed. The next proof that for the creation of a good movie it is not necessary to invest in it a huge amount of money.

Note that many reviews of "50 shades of black" (2017) are presented in a negative light. The picture has suspiciously low ratings on movie sites. But at the same time, numerous reviews of the film "50 shades of black" in 2017 still recommend it for viewing. Perhaps in most cases people simply do not understand this movie or they are fans of the original melodrama. Not everyone can adequately perceive such banter.

Actors

In addition to performing the main role in this film, many other remarkable actors have acted in film. And many of them do not have huge experience and major roles in filmography. For example, Kali Hawke, who played the main female role, never before appeared in such large projects. She had episodic roles in Hollywood comedies and serials. But they can be called successful with great stretch. But, despite the lack of experience, she perfectly coped with the task. Also in the film, many other actors also starred, but they all faded against the backdrop of the main screen pair.

Producer

Michael Tiddes is a fairly young American director who has not yet shown himself to the fullest. "50 shades of black" - just his third full-fledged work. His first films were two parts of "The House with Paranormal Phenomena." The movie was somewhat secondary, but still it became a hit of the world's rental. Thanks to this Michael Tiddes was able to shoot a new film. As expected, the picture "50 shades of black" also managed to collect a lot of money in the world box office. Despite criticism, the movie was a success.

We think that even now Michael can be called the new king of this genre, which has lost its former glory. He again revived the interest of spectators to parodies and proved to the producers that they are still able to bring serious money at minimal cost. Ahead of us will be waiting for a new director's work, which promises to be done in the same vein. We think, we will have to wait for another amazing comedy, capable of laughing to tears.

Awards

But with the awards for this movie, things are a bit deplorable. The film was nominated for several antipremias. "50 shades of black" could receive just three "Golden raspberries". But in that year, according to the organizers, there were much more "worthy" applicants.

Conclusion

I would like to recommend this movie to all those who remember and love the work of Wyans, which shone fifteen years ago. They will be delighted with what they saw. But also to simple spectators the film "50 shades of black" can also be enjoyed. Parody of such a high level in a wide rental did not come out long enough. But, given how much noise she has done, it seems that soon we will be waiting for new films of such a plan.
