14 DAY TRIAL // Can you imagine going to the cinema to watch “Fifty Shades of Grey” with your grandparents? If you've just cringed at that concept, think about how funny it would be watching someone else's grandparents freak out at just the trailer.
This is precisely what the makers of this video have done, having enlisted a group of senior citizens and capturing their reactions to the “Fifty Shades of Grey” trailer. One hint: surprise was a big part of the equation on this one.
Interestingly, the opinions on how good the movie is going to be vary, although the general consensus is that the book was bad enough so the movie couldn't possibly be any better. It's funny to watch these old people give reactions that you would normally have yourself.
The funniest part is when the makers of the video decide to make the elderly people read a particularly raunchy excerpt from the book. You will get to watch old people cringe as they read out loud about some very naughty words and descriptions.
However, leaving everything bad aside, the people in this video do make some interesting points about the success of the book, its social impact, and the whole history of the adult novel. It turns out that some of them are more familiar with the phenomenon than any of us.
