The Modern-Day Love Story – “Twilight” the Movie
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) are similar to any teenager falling in love, with one major difference. Edward is a vampire. Although Edward is in love with Bella and eager to protect her, he must fight off the temptation to kill her. Luckily, Edward and his family, the Cullens, survive solely on the blood of animals, allowing them to co-exist with the humans.
While the Cullens are successful with hiding their true identity, The Quileute Indians, who live on a local reservation, are the only ones who know the truth. Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) is a member of the Quileute Indians and a childhood friend (and admirer) of Bella’s.
While Edward must protect Bella from his own hunger pangs and those of his brethren, he must also protect her from other vampires who do not share his family’s ideals. They feed on humans, and enjoy the hunt. So when Edward and Bella run into a group of nomadic vampires who have been hunting and killing their neighbors, Edward must protect Bella and her family from the blood lust of James (Cam Giganet).
Although Bella’s life was in danger, she continued to love Edward and had a desire to be with him always. Will she sacrifice her life to be with him completely? Will Edward harm Bella or will he be able to control his nature?
Twilight has been described as “”a full-blown pop culture phenomenon” by the Los Angeles Times. It has it all romance, suspense, drama, science fiction, fantasy, some sexy scenes and amazingly hot vampires.
