TWILIGHT BREAKING DAWN PART 1 SOUNDTRACK WALMART SERIES
Additional novels in the series are New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. She is endangered after falling in love with Edward Cullen, a 103-year-old vampire frozen in his 17-year-old body. It is the first book in the Twilight series, and introduces seventeen-year-old Isabella "Bella" Swan, who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington. Skip it.Twilight (stylized as twilight) is a 2005 young adult vampire- romance novel by author Stephenie Meyer. It's poorly acted and painful to sit through. Even for the trashy romance novel on film that it is, It just doesn't work. On the topic of the romance, there is absolutely no chemistry between our leads yet the film wants us so badly to believe that this is some kind of breath taking romance. The few good actors this film manages to boast are shoved to one side for more pasty, nauseating "romance" between our two leads, Pattinson and Stewart.
The acting is dull as a blank sheet of A4 paper, a myriad of pale, drowsy eyed teenagers not finishing sentences and mumbling their lines. For one thing, as a person who never falls asleep during films, this was so tediously hard to watch I almost fell asleep during the "action packed climax" of the film. Twilight exists solely to pander to the young girls demographic with pretty sparkly vampires and a blank slate of a heroine you can easily project your personality onto. We all know exactly why this film was made, let's not even pretend this was ever going to be any kind of artistic endeavour. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. When her mother remarries and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn't expect much of anything to change. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. Bella Swan has always been a little bit different.
