Reader Feedback on "Spanking the Flunky"
i was excited to see this movie. i consider myself a feminist as well as the actress who bravely labeled herself that. well, i am dissapointed. i did not see the "grey", i saw very little depth and an s/m metaphor for true love, which was bleak (this may not be true for many people in real life, but i saw it as such in the context of the movie). i also never saw this woman making any empowering decisions. just because it may feel good and you choose to do it, doesn't make it empowering.

Hi,
Great job on this movie and the interview with Maggie G. Thank you!
I'm a female who really enjoyed the film. I agree that the nudity fit beautifully in this movie. Very good job.
Thank you!

Secretary and Maggie Gyllenhaal has been the talk of the spanking world for some time now. I just read the interview, and it is nice to see that Maggie actually "gets it". (No, not the spanking! The reality behind the scene.)
Thanks for asking her good questions.

Maggie Gyllenhaal gave a mature and intelligent interview about "Secretary". Her views were fascinating. I had planned on seeing this film anyway, but now I'm intrigued.
I was disappointed that the sexually appealing James Spader was not pictured, nor hardly mentioned. His character seemed almost like an appliance in Maggie's interview. I would see the film just for him, and would love to know what he has to say about his experience with this one.

I just saw this movie last night in Vancouver, BC, Canada and I have to say it was absolutely great. I thought, truthfully, that it would have been alittle more hardcore, but I was still delighted with the film. The emotional aspects of the characters, the directorship as well as the camera shots to show just how 'intense' these feelings can be were amazing. As you sit there you can literally 'feel' the feelings ... it was great, highly recommended.

I am a real life slave, yes real life... I am owned, branded, pierced, an collared - i.e for those of you who are vanilla and not into the lifestyle collared means a far deeper committment than any wedding ring.Our lifestyle is rich, full, and erotic. It is also real, and very much a integral part of our/your present society as much as most would rather NOT acknowledge it.
I myself have not seen the movie but i look forward to seeing it with my Master, and I pray it brings people out of the woodwork who have hidden thier lifestyle because of feared riticule of others, i.e. friends, co-workers and especially family.
We are consensual we are not illegal, yes it is a power exchange but there is nothing safer or more freeing in the world than having your very core exposed to the one you love and knowing they hold it preciously in thier hand as they hold your love in thier heart.

I enjoyed the review of the film and the interview. I Live the BDSM lifestyle with my slave. And found the interview very refreshing. And hopefully this movie will make the lifestyle a bit more acceptable to the general public.

I, too, can hardly wait for this movie to come to a theater near me. I am a BDSM switch, and can relate from both sides. Submitting your will to another is very freeing, and of course the submissive has all the real power. In a consenting relationship, at least, the submissive has ultimate say over whether any spanking, sex, etc will even take place. I love the interview with the star, and I love that her role gave her some insights into what it is really all about, instead of making her just shake her head and go "That's not for me."

You're all masochists, she says--well, yeah, I should think anyone who voluntarily participates in this society must be some kind of hardcore masochist; it's a pretty obvious protection racket, especially after 9/11...

David Denby, in his New Yorker review of Secretary, said the notion that pain is liberation is a pornographic notion. I would like to string him up by his toes and spank him till he drops to the floor and hits his head. Secretary is one of my favorite films of certainly the last five years and the reason women are ranking it so high on imdb is because Gray tries to get out of the relationship and then Lee chases him down and he comes back. That never happens in real life but is a great fantasy to women who are inundated with toxic books like The Rules, which tell us never to chase or say what we feel. She says what she feels and is rewarded for it.

Is it just me, or is Gyllenhaal unusually articulate and thoughtful in her responses? Enjoyed it...

I haven't seen the film yet...but am eagerly awaiting its arrival in a theater near me. I am a submissive female and have considered myself a feminist for many years. This moive is hitting me on so many different levels, especially since my husband has a home-based media company and I am his "executive secretary" in which I do more than type...and he has the same name as Mr. Gray. Scary how art imitates life so very often, and vice versa, don't you think?

Maybe I havent dated enough women to even think about spanking a creamy firm bare bottom, but other than a few slaps to push my woman over the top as she is on top and needs me to let her know to push down on my penis, I have not imagined any BD stuff. Playful tweaking of nipples is fun, and being pulled around naked is fun too. Rubbing against nipples and buns is part of sex play for me too.. But heavy stuff, like painful spanking is too kinky for me.

I'd love to see the film. It's complexities sound intriguing. I'm happy to see that hollywood is addressing the S/M issue. I hope they do a better job of it than simply dismissing S/M as a disorder. Maybe they'll show the simple needs in people to explore their physical and emotional limits and fantasies.
