Product Information
The masochist says to the sadist, "Hurt me." The sadist replies, "No." Everybody's happy. This strange balance plays heavily into the Steven Shainberg-directed SECRETARY, based on a short story by Mary Gaitskill. Lee Holloway (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a troubled young woman with a secret, destructive addiction fueled by her mother's overprotectiveness and her father's alcoholism. Sheltered and wholly dependent on other people, Lee's only form of self-expression is in this private, painful habit. That is, until she meets her new boss, the lawyer E. Edward Gray (James Spader), who hires her as his secretary. It is exciting for Lee to hold down a job, even if she is a basket case in the office. Mr. Gray watches Lee, studies her, and slowly begins to correct both her typing errors and her personality flaws. At first Mr. Gray's dominance appears scary and overbearing, a true threat to Lee's naive, fragile psyche. But as the film carefully develops these unique characters, revealing their odd strengths and weaknesses, it becomes delightfully clear that Lee and Mr. Gray can genuinely help each other. SECRETARY is a bright, atmospheric movie that shines a light on the "fun" in this dysfunctional relationship, while using brilliant performances by Gyllenhaal and Spader to illustrate the benefits of sadomasochistic love.Product Identifiers

James Spader at his best.
We've all seen The Blacklist - James Spader is so masterful and restrained he makes a chin twitch feel like a command. How did he get there from the timid cameraman in Sex, Lies and Videotape? In Secretary, James and Maggie Gyllenhaal both play characters who grow out of their timidity with a little help from deSade. I'm sure you'll find them much improved for the experience. Don't worry, it's all very mild. And very stimulating. There are hints at much more going on than we get to see. It feels like an hours of film must have ended up on the cutting room floor. Such a loss.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

A movie about blossoming.
This movie depicts a Journey into womanhood from a girl who had little hope of happiness in her life. It illustrates the need to think outside the Box at times. What makes one person happy may not make another person happy. There are clearly some codependency and control issues illustrated the script. But, it's absolutely awesome that they found the Avenue that worked for them as individuals. I would not recommend this movie for anyone under 16 years of age.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Sexy and funny
A different path for James Spader to take.....but that's part of acting. I've followed him for many years as an actor - - versatille. Maggie plays a good part too, but not as convincing. Spader has many faces.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Sexy, kinky and cute.
A great movie to introduce BDSM to a Vanilla partner. Spanking and bondage are subtle but there and this film is in of itself and art piece. Fun to watch!!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
