They do have flashbacks of Christian's childhood in the movie (spoilers)


I was just on Instagram and found a short video someone took at the very beginning of the movie (before the credits). It shown back and forth of Christian as a little boy hiding and his mother's pimp finding him as he twitches and moves around while he's asleep in bed. I was wondering if they would show flashbacks and although the volume didn't work on the video it was still heartbreaking.

It is going to be hard to watch but I'm glad they're putting it in for the non-readers.

It's only a couple but they're very heartbreaking and using one of those flashbacks was a very surprising way to begin the movie.

That is a very interesting choice for first scenes, given the final scenes in both endings of the first film.

Neither of those segues into that. (Not a negative, just interesting, given the monster cliffhanger in FSOG for non-book readers.)

Yup there are two flashback scenes
1. the beginning scene with Christian's mom pimp finding him just to hit him.
2. Christian tells Ana when he stayed with the corpse for three days until they found her and when Grace noticed him at the hospital
