A Declaration to Twilight – The Movie

It’s been over a year since I read the first book. I refused to look at all the movie trailers or even look up who the actors were for each of the characters. I didn’t listen to any of the reviews or let anyone influence me one way or the other. I wanted to form my own opinion on the movie. I had built up a lot of anticipation, and I really was hoping for more of what I got from the books, I wanted that intense climax that beautifully unfolds in an amazing plot, with interesting characters. Except, we all knew what was going to happen, we knew the story, we knew the characters, and we just knew too much!! Or did we??? I took my friend that had never read the books, or never heard of the story until last week. After the movie I was dying to get her take on it, and she reported, " the relationship between Edward and Bella, was so erotic, the movie really got across the intensity of their attraction and intimacy." Her exact words. She hit it on the nail, for all of us who went on opening weekend, we wanted to feel that intensity, again. Then she calls me today, and says, "I can’t get those two characters out of my mind. I don’t have time to read the books, tell me everything that happened." My declaration is that the movie Twilight resurfaced those emotions of love, attraction, and sensuality that the relationship between Edward and Bella gave us in the books. Okay so I am a hopeful romantic at heart. Like the rest of you, I did find a few things annoying about the movie. I didn’t like the tree climbing scene. Also didn’t like when Edward reveals his skin in the sunlight, that was just weird or bad acting. Also at the end when he was sucking the blood out of Bella! The angle was wrong or something, he was sucking just too long!!
I’m embarrassed to admit this but I did reopen book four last night and began reading it again. Like my friend said, I just can’t get Edward out of my mind!!!
