Twilight - teh film

Post Reply New Topic

The line "We mustn't make love/have sex because I might accidentally/against my will hurt/kill you" sounds like "We mustn't have sex because I might get you pregnant", which is, it's true, becoming more and more disastrous an option rather than less of one in the overpopulated world.

And, seeing as even the pill, with "typical" use, is only 93%-95% effective over a year, and durex 84%, ( and I have checked both figures ), penetrative sex really is a huge risk to take in a society which seems to require most women to work, whether mothers or not, and bringing up a child costs so much money.

A man who says, "We mustn't do it" is going to seem very hot indeed.

It is that which makes him so irresistible to all the girls, ( not his so called prettiness etc ), because motherhood, even in the safest and solidest and most materially comfortable of marriages, is a kind of "little death" for many women now, especially those who are tasting the joys of independence for the first time.

And this may be what explains the runaway success of the film. It is speaking to and of the spirit of the times.

I loved every minute of it, me and my friend at school she has aspergers and I have autism, we have decided that I am Alice Cullen and my husband is Jasper Hale, and she is Rosalie Hale and her husband is Emmett Cullen. She got me into the Twilight series and thats where it led off really.

i liked it but the book is always better than the movie
i thought they made edward's hair too big, i like his buzz cut better
i cant wait until new moon...with jacob bc i prefer werewolves lol
but when they played bella's lullaby i pictured myself as edward rather than bella in that scene because the as considers me anything but normal and i love it
*you inspired this one*


*Team jacob...join the pack*

I didn't like the book or the movie. Stephanie Meyer's writing style is fairly weak and bland, and don't even get me started on the "originality" of her story. Read the Sookie Stackhouse southern vampire mysteries (the first ones were published about half a decade before Meyer published Twilight) and compare. Twilight is suspiciously similar. -_-

The movie was kinda meh. It did a good job as far as translating the story, but again, it's the story that bugged me. That, and I'm not a fan of Kristen Stewart (the actress that played Bella). In all of her movies, it just feels like she's not acting, she's just reading lines and it makes her characters come off very two dimensional. My friend and I did have a good time making fun of the movie though, and I'll use any excuse to go to the movie theater to get some movie theater popcorn.
