"Alice in Wonderland" and "Fifty shades of grey"


The makers of the movie "Fifty shades of Grey" found inspiration in Lewis Carroll "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" :



"She found a little bottle on it and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label with the words 



"Drink me" 

beautifully printed on it in large letters. (...)

 Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table : 

she opened it and found in it a very small cake, on which the words 



"Eat me" 

were beautifully marked in currants".

 (p.16-18, Macmillan Collector's library). 

Indeed, in the movie the drunk Anastasia Seele (=Alice in wonderland) is brought to a hotelroom by Christian Grey. In the morning, alone in that room, she finds orangejuice with the the words

 "drink me" 

and a sandwich with the words 

"Eat me".
