A severe disappointment!

This movie is touted as a "lifestyle movie" and promoted to our community, it portrays the community as a mix of cold-hearted and inhumane Dominants, and suicidally dependant submissives.
Phillipe is a wealthy foreign businessman who lives in Cali, he loses his beloved dog he raised and trained himself, and decides to try an experiment to see if he can train a human to have the same level of unconditional love and devotion. He contacts a group of secret, underground, white-slavers (how is never explained, if they are that secret, why can't the police find them?) to help him find his candidate. They lead him to Mary, whose life is in turmoil, mainly because of an abusive boyfriend who admits to murdering her beloved cat "in frustration over her", and a circle of "friends" who take advantage of her submissiveness and need to be liked. She agrees to become Phillipe's doggie-pet as a means of escaping the hateful abuse she suffers in the outside. Phillipe, in his arrogance, has her tagged as a potential organ-donor slave, which is the core of what the white-slavers are about, and in the end, his contact with them steals the ownership disc for Mary and sells her as a favor to his "friend."
I won't ruin the ending for you, but I will say, it's not happy.
There isn't enough "lifestyle" material in here to appeal to anyone. The parts where he's training her are almost non-existant.
In short, I had looked forward to seeing the film for nearly a year, I WANTED to like it, but I was left heartbroken, frustrated, and angry that the people who made the movie thought that people from the lifestyle community have anything in common with the villains of this. And if they don't believe so, then why go to the trouble to make the link at BOTH the beginning and end of it? |
