I was actually kinda impress that the author of the story had different perspective on vampires. Instead of fearing the sunlight because it is deadly, the vampires in the story were actually reluctant to go out in the sun as they would have exposed themselves to the community. Which would of course freaked most of them out. As the sunlight hit their skin, they actually reveal their diamond-like skin complexion. Wow... Imagine that...
"Vampire Killer no. 1 - Sunlight : Plays no role in killing them..."
Another thing that kinda got me bothered was about the zero suspicion or reaction the community around the Cullen's family in exception to those already aware. I mean, come on... They've got like snow-white skin and bloody red lips. Their eye pupil colour change from time to time and not to mention their superhuman speed and strength. Don't anyone get suspicious at all of the family? And how lame of an excuse that Dr Cullen had their family out for outing or picnic whenever there is sun so that they are excused from college. Can't anyone get suspicious and go check it out at all? Instead, I can see that most girls are totally all over Edward for being handsome. Sigh.... Are we like that in reality too? Being only concern towards the external beauty without a care of the interior? It really bothers me so much.....
Another point was when Angela was pouting about hoping Eric would ask her to the prom which of course he hasn't. Then Bella gave her piece of advice on taking control of the situation instead of waiting uselessly. So, Angela took her chance and somehow successfully asked Eric to the prom. I see lotsa women out there screaming for equal rights as their male counterparts but they still stick to these few old rules such as...
"Men should do this... men should do that... they must do it first...."
Come on, get a grip and just throw away all these thoughts. If you wanna be treated equally, you've gotta clear your head off these thinking. Just go for it.
The most touching and basic thing anyone can feel is probably the unconditional love of Bella towards Edward. Bella's feelings stood firm and didn't change throughout and after the process in which Edward reveals his true nature as a VAMPIRE. Bella did not care whether Edward was a "killer", a "monster" or even an "undead".It all did not matter to her. This is actually what love should be in reality - UNCONDITIONAL. Yet, in reality we don't experience unconditional love often. Do we? Does this phrase seem familiar?
"____, if you don't do (so and so), I won't love you anymore"
These are phrases often used by parents of lovers. Usually parents used them in a situation to threaten you with love for you to follow certain rules. Children as young as three are constantly exposed to threats like these. They slowly build up the false truth that love is conditional. If they do not follow certain rules, they will then not be loved. Isn't this so sad... It is for me...
Other than that I could say this movie was okay overall. I haven't read the book yet. Hopefully it'll be more entertaining.
