The same steps that cults use to get people to drink poisonous kool-aid or worship this guy who said that aliens gave him a pair of sex robots, except Grey wants to, you know, spank Anastasia really hard. And when I say indoctrination, Grey follows the exact steps, that real-life cults like The Family International and Heaven’s Gate use to brainwash innocent people. Throughout the movie, Christian Grey engages in what’s known as Thought Reform, or in other words, indoctrination, as he seduces the young Anastasia Steele.
I can already feel a lot of people rolling their eyes at the very notion that Christian Grey is in any way similar to cult leaders like Charles Manson, Jim Jones and David Koresh, but hear me out. The same psychological tricks that cults use to indoctrinate new members. Ladies (and gents) who see the books and movies as nothing more than erotic romanticism, you might want to pay attention as we dive into the seedy underbelly of 50 Shades of Grey and discover how Christian uses cold, calculating psychological abuse to brainwash Anastasia into loving him.
The question is, was it his charisma and ‘tragic tortured soul’ aesthetic that attracted her, or was it his deliberate psychological manipulation? This might be surprising, but there’s a lot more to 50 Shades of Grey than the BDSM-fuelled exploits of a 27-year-old billionaire playboy with perfectly sculpted abs and a brooding attitude. Between 20, millions of women fell in love with Christian Grey, not least of all young Anastasia Steele.
