Dominatrices or BDSM in Movies

I'm soooooo very excited today to do this.  I can't tell you how many films I love or detest due to the nature of the BDSM in them.  I am, admittedly, a movie whore.  LOL.  I love movies.  They are the visualization of novels (which I'd prefer to read a novel but movies have the one thing a novel doesn't... SOUND).  For a little less than two hours (roughly)  a movie can transport you away from everything and set you down in the shoes of another character.  If the score is done well and the script a good one I can often actually 'feel' part of the story.  So without further hesitation let's get to some of My favorite, and not so favorite movies.

Let's start with My favorite...

Secretary

 This film is one of those "gal with mental illness also is into BDSM" films which royally irritates Me. (not everyone in BDSM has a mental disorder)  Yet it's a good depiction of how the Dominant and submissive tend to draw one another without even knowing it.... it's a beautiful story of how true submission begins.


A Small Circle of Friends

 This film is a garden-variety coming of age flick, but it is also a positive portrayal of polyamory.  If you've not seen it, you should.


The story of O 

 I had high expectations of this film because of it's reputation, hopes which were dashed within the first 30 minutes. According to this film, the definition of BDSM is a combination of sex on demand by submissive females, and being whipped on the back and front (not safe). That's it, nothing else. This is an R rated film as well, so while we saw full frontal nudity of women, there wasn't any nudity of men, and no actual shots of sex of any sort or actual whipping. (still don't understand why full frontal is acceptable for women but not men... grrr) What you see is "O" being tossed around and yelling and moaning a lot. Of course she never exhibited any marks either, so it was frankly pretty difficult to believe any of it. There was zero character development on the part of any of the characters, and no overt consent of any sort and so I dub this film:  Worse than 50 shades... (and that's hard to do)


Preaching to the Perverted

Another of My favorites!!!! A novice employee of the British House of Commons is sent undercover to BDSM clubs in order to document illegal goings-on. It's a combination of Moulon Rouge and the Rocky Horror Picture Show, with highly stylized and theatrical BDSM happening on the club stage as well as in private. They did a good job of making it clear that all play was Safe, Sane and Consensual, but there were a few spots where you could tell the actors had not been properly coached in flogging technique. For example, a female Dominant hit her submissive's head with some kind of whip.(a big huge fucking fat no no)


Exit to Eden

I love to laugh... truly LOVE to laugh, so this movie is a gem for Me. This comedy/drama actually gives the scene fair treatment under the wisecracking narrator voice of Dominatrix-to-be Rosie O'Donnell. (who is quirky, irritating, and wonderful in every way. ps.. she breaks out in song like I do :P)This film is unquestionably BDSM-Lite. That is, there are a lot of fabulous outfits, beautiful toys, and gorgeous, well-toned male and female submissives, but not much in the way of actual scenes. The plot revolves around a resort a la Fantasy Island where all your BDSM fantasy dreams come true. 

There is one intimate scene between Mistress Lisa and Elliot which is moving, a nice spanking That said, the film respects our lifestyle in every way.

Don't miss the very cute first scene where we find out where Elliot got his start in childhood. 

My favorite line from the film is where Rosie O'Donnell's slave says "What can I do for you Mistress?" and she says "Paint my house!" ha ha ha.. classic!  

(the scene in the clip... still gives Me chills)

 Casino Royale

 I included this film because of the torture scene later in the film.  I personally don't like to inflict much cock & balls torture (CBT) but sure as hell enjoy watching it -smirks evilly- James Bond gets tortured quite intensely in this manner in Casino Royale.  There are many who don't like this Bond flick because it's a prequel to all others and the Bond we see in this isn't the 'typical' Bond.... he falls in love and gets ooey gooey...  but then, I tend to love a bit of ooey gooey mushiness at times.  -grins-

Body of Evidence

 This film actually handles the subject of BDSM fairly well. "Mistress" Madonna has a sense of humor about herself, not unlike Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct. It's a solid thriller as well. The main downside is that Madonna plays a sex-crazed killer which takes a lot of credibility away from the BDSM lifestyle. Other than that, however, it's an excellent film. The best scene is when Madonna does Willem Dafoe on a bunch of broken glass. Whew, steaming!
