Food at the table can send many signals. Christian and Anastasia, protagonists of the successful trilogy of "nuances", are masters of it. Meanwhile, a movie has just arrived in theaters that tells the hilarious story of 4 readers of the trilogy. A comedy all to laugh about
50 shades of Grey strikes again. He will do it in Book Club – Anything can happen, the new film by Bill Holderman with Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenburgen in the role of four women "agée" who, thanks to reading the first chapter of the E.L. James, they will think well of revolutionizing their lives. They will dare, they will overcome the limits that they never allowed themselves to cross and, above all, they will try to enter the universe of Christian Gray and Anastasia Steele one hundred percent, without sparing anything.
Food signs
If the last act of the trilogy, Fifty shades of red, he went to the cinema in February 2018 and already we start to think about a new project linked to "Gray", the author's book that traces the original story from Christian's point of view, it's certainly interesting to think like the erotic component is linked not only to the Red Room, but also to the temptations of the table. As the pages flow, we see how food goes from innocent to "sinful" following the intentions of the protagonists, who leave cautious and then let themselves go to the wildest fantasy. The first real face-to-face meeting between the two is in a cafe in the heart of Portland. They order hot tea and Ana nibbles a blueberry muffin that she will offer to Christian: they begin to study, to understand what the other wants and how far one can go. To tell us something more is the first date. To impress her, Mr. Gray shows her his dream apartment seducing her with a glass of Pouilly-Fume directly from France: it is only then that he will reveal for the first time his most hidden side, linked to the S&M practices and to the his being dominant. The land then moves to a more refined location, where the two play on equal terms. In front of an herbal soup for her and a venison steak for him, Ana negotiates the contract that Christian would like her to sign: there is no more red wine to ensnare her. Only the will to move in neutral ground and on a table as essential as possible.
If with her roommate Kate, Ana delights with a homemade lasagna and bad wine, it is once again in Christian's company that the bar rises. For their new confrontation, the billionaire shows off the heavy artillery and, to impress her and even a little to intimidate her, focuses on half-shelled oysters, a delicacy that has always been linked to sensuality. Once you get here, you can't go back. They celebrate the girl's graduation by sipping a bottle of Bollinger Champagne. They know his parents at a dinner where they serve chorizo, scallops garnished with roasted peppers and shallots and Wellington beef. And back to "normal" just before crossing the Red Room door for the first time. There they choose to stay on the light and order a very simple Caesar Salad. Food represents, depending on the moment, a weapon used to seduce, to amaze or, simply, to convey a tamed idea of oneself. After all, from the blueberry muffins to the oysters with champagne the pace is really short and if there is a couple who taught us to burn the stages quickly that is really formed by Christian and Anastasia.
