Although I enjoyed the books for what they were (just a story) I agree that although it does shed light on the the lifestyle, it may not be the correct light in the eyes of the narrow minded. By the same token, I don't know that there could be any movie that would show all the different variants of BDSM. So often when the general public hears "BDSM" they instantly think of all the horrific porn that has popped up or the crazy stories they've heard. When trying to explain that it's not all the same, with varying degrees, I personally have found they don't want to listen or just don't get it. That image of the extreme is burned in their brain and nothing will scrub it out. I think that is one of the main things that keeps us all "hidden".
