Correction: The pilot does not need to be in the front of a sailplane. The sailplane's website (DG) says as long as the pilot is qualified they can sit in the rear seat, as long as the sailplane is set up for the rear seat pilot.

Corrected entry: Christian Grey gives a speech during a Anastasia's university graduation ceremony. During the speech the podium he speaks at reads "Vancouver" on it, rather than Seattle, which is where the movie is based. This reflects the fact that the ceremony hall used in this shot is located at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver BC. Despite this the filmmakers try to hide the real location of the scene elsewhere by placing a Washington State flagpole on the stage.

Correction: The school that Ana goes to is in Vancouver, WA (not Canada). Ana and Kate move to Seattle, WA after the graduation.

No they move before the graduation. I've seen this movie multiple times and I know this is true.

They do so in the movie. In the book, they move after graduation. Doesn't change the fact that they went to Washington State University in Vancouver, Wa.

Pay attention to the interior and the events occurring. During the montage of Ana going over the contract, her and Kate are in the process of moving. After the "was this nice?" scene, Ana and Kate are in their new place before they graduated, and before Ana's first experience in the Red Room.

Correction: Clarifying several points: Ana and Kate are moving to Seattle and their new apartment just after their final class but before the commencement ceremony. Commencements usually occur 1-2 weeks after the academic year ends; Ana and Kate attend the ceremony at the campus, but technically, students are graduates only after their submitted paperwork is approved. Commencement attendance is optional and even students who have not quite completed all degree requirements are allowed to "walk" at the ceremony. Students receive a ceremonial scroll at the commencement and the actual diplomas are mailed later. Ana's school, Washington State University, and the commencement were in Vancouver, Washington, not Vancouver, B.C. Canada. The school, located on Washington's southern border, is one of WSU's four branch campuses. It is about a three-hour, straight drive on I-5 between Seattle and Vancouver, so a fast, easy commute. Ana and Kate either still had access to their old apartment, stayed at a motel or with friends in Vancouver, or they drove back to Seattle the same day. Confusion between the two Vancouvers is understandable for those unfamiliar with the Pacific Northwest.

Continuity mistake: When Anastasia returns home with the contract in her hand, she enters her flat and the computer guy is just finishing fixing her laptop. During this scene her brown leather jacket disappears, but she is still holding the contract in her hand - this is a continuous scene with no time for her to remove the jacket.

Kate Kavanagh: What was he like?
Anastasia Steele: He was polite. Intense. Smart. Really intimidating.

More quotes from Fifty Shades of Grey

Question: Why did Christian confess what happened to his real mother while Ana was asleep? Was it just hard for him to talk about until Fifty Shades Darker came around?

Answer: At that point, he's simply unable to express to anyone anything about his feelings or his past. He's taking "baby steps" to change into a different person by telling Ana about his mother while in her presence but when she is asleep. Eventually he is able to tell her when she can hear him. This is also a plot device known as "exposition", used to provide the audience with story information that other characters do not know.
