This week's "Pat of Appreciation" comes from the noughties, and proved a real naughty hit for Maggie Gyllenhaal, who became a star because of it. The film I'm talking about is, of course, Secretary (2002), and something I'm surprised I didn't spot earlier. It told the story of a socially awkward girl who goes to work as a secretary for James Spader, only to find that he likes to discipline his secretary by making her bend over the desk to read the mistakes she has made and then slaps her ass. The look on her face when this first happens is a treat, but intriguingly she not only learns to accept her chastisement but begins to enjoy it! Even better, she appears nude in it for the first time in her career, the scene of which I've posted here:
https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/sho...postcount=1010. She said of the role that "she felt scared when filming began" as in the wrong hands this movie could say something weird." You don't say! I couldn't see this film being made nowadays, despite it being made only 18 years ago, and now Maggie chooses not to talk about the role. Intriguing.
Oh, and note to any aspiring bosses here: I wouldn't recommend disciplining your secretaries the same way as in this video. While Maggie accepts her discipline as part of the job, in the real world your own secretary will probably issue a lawsuit on you and take you for everything you've got. Especially if it's a male secretary.
