Twilight - The Movie and Novel Series




I read about Twilight the movie which opens on 18 December 2008 and also the novels on "The Sunday Times", 23 November 2008 edition and has been quite curious and tempted to read the novels and watch the movie when it starts showing in Singapore. I usually skip horror movies or novels but the reviews on the newspaper seems to suggest that "Twilight" is not scary at all and tells a Romeo and Juliet-like tale of pretty but awkward 17 year old Bella who moves to a small town and falls in love with Edward, an astonishingly beautiful vampire. Both enter into a passionate yet dangerous relationship, where Edward agonises constantly over his urge to suck the life out of Bella. Watching the movie or reading the novels would make you rethink all the vampire myths as Stephenie Meyer's bloodsuckers can appear in sunlight, and garlic and crosses have no effect on them and they don't have fangs either.





The plot seems interesting and i tried looking for the book in the library but it is so popular among readers that i can't find a single book in the series. I found out online that the book has sold over 50 million copies worldwide since 2005. I guess i would have to either reserve the books or buy from the bookstore after i finish reading my existing library books. Twilight has been adapted into a film and it was directed by Catherine Hardwicke and stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson (acted as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, 2005) as protagonists Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen, respectively.





Twilight is a young adult vampire romance novel written by author Stephenie Meyer and seems to be quite popular in Singapore but strangely i have never heard about the novel before reading the article. It was originally published in hardcover in 2005 and is the first book of the Twilight series. The novel is followed by New Moon, Eclipse,and the final book in the series, Breaking Dawn which follows the adventures and love story of Bella and Edward.




When Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. He even attempts to change his schedule to avoid her, leaving Bella completely puzzled about his attitude towards her. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black, into telling her the local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires. Although she was inexplicably attracted to him even when she thought Edward drank human blood, she is much relieved to learn that the Cullens choose to abstain from drinking human blood, and drink animal blood instead. Edward reveals that he initially avoided Bella because the scent of her blood was so desirable. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love.

The seemingly perfect state of their relationship is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks, and James, a tracker vampire, decides that he wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens plan to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. Bella then gets a phone call from James in which he says that he has her mother, and Bella must give herself up to James at her old dance studio, to save her. She does so, and while at the dance studio, James attacks her. Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, rescue Bella before James can kill her. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward sucks the venom out of her system before it can spread and change her into a vampire. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen.

我不想分手!

我不想分手

要分手时,总会有很多的理由,无论你给的是哪一种理由,都已回不到从前...

间如果相爱的人都能在一起,或是在一起的人都能相爱,大概就没有分手的问题,常常是一方想分手,另一方直说:“我不想分手!”或是一方已经劈腿,应该分手,却还赖着说:“我爱的是你,我不想分手!”两人都不想分,却不得不分得也有,拖拖拉拉!

最常发生的故事,是原本觉得将来会结婚的男人居然还跟其它的女人维持 很亲密的关系,但是男人赖着说:“我真正爱的是你,可是无法马上跟她分手,因为不是她的错,我需要时间让她接受。”男人要求她相信他,她也不断说服自己应 该等他,但找不到他时,会怀疑他是不是跟那女人在一起,但不论怎样,两人已无法回到原来的关系。

这种状态最惨,明明是男人劈腿,却要女人忍耐,只好忍到自己受不了 时,跟男人摊牌说:“你不跟她分手,我就跟你分手!”男人终于说:“我马上跟她分手!”或许男人真的从此和那女人分手,但就算男人和那女人分手,然后跟自 己结婚,是否就算是赢了?劈腿过的男人无法保证将来不劈腿。

或许摊牌后,男人说:“既然你这么说,那就分手!”当场可能很震惊, 但几年后,或许会觉得幸好跟那男人分手,否则苦也苦不完。但也可能他说要分手,隔了好久也没分手,然后跟自己越来越疏远,过一阵子后,传来的是他跟那女人 结婚的消息,自己悔恨万分,觉得等他分手的这段时间究竟算什么?

不过,爱情本质就是这样,当时会愿意等他下决心分手,也是因为还有爱意。爱情或是人生,在每个关键时刻都只能选择一次。

就像许多远距离恋爱的破绽率非常高,虽然两人都曾经不断在电话里高呼 “我爱你”,但或许那一天一方变心,另一方在电话里高呼:“我不想分手!”早知道会分手,当初对方不在身边时,多交往几个人就好了。但是,当时眼中只有他 一个人,完全不会像跟别人出去约会。若两人爱情能顺利持续时,不管距离多远都能持续,要是不顺利时,即使每天都能见面,甚至黏在一起,也会不顺利的,爱情 的答案不是那么单纯明快的,只是爱情恼人之处,也是爱情风味绝佳之处。
