■ Spare Me the Stereotypes
Woke up today with a dark sky forecasting heavy rains. And it did. It did not rain heavily. It just drizzled but the gloomy morning made me sad for reasons i couldn't spell out and spill out. I don't know why but rain has always been at my side whether I'm at a sunny disposition on a rainy day or not. I just love it when it rains. And it reminded me of the movie.I love the Thunder Game !
When we watched Twilight last Sunday, I was somewhat satisfied, perhaps it was because Ive prepared myself of Hollywood's manipulation of a novel based movie. I stopped reading the books temporarily, I guess, temporarily because i made a pact with myself to finish all four. I stopped because the story gets so bland in the following book. Not to go on a rant or do a literary criticism here but after the first book, I've become annoyed of how Bella becomes a bit selfish in the course of the story. Yes she always gets to be the most beautiful nymph in this saga, she always gets guys attention and most of all, she has Edward's heart. Whatever. She's the heroine of the story and Edward's brand of heroin. I don't have a problem with that. In the following books though, Bella reveals her not so strong female character as I thought she was in the first book. It was fine when she was introduced as the clumsy girl who fell in love with a vampire but I lost confidence in her when in the following series she has become so always needing of Edward's rescue or Jacob's in some instances. I was expecting for the book to progress in giving readers something to like about Bella aside from the fact that she is so crazily in love with Edward. Yes, a main character can be flawed but can also be redeeming in the story whether you love her or hate her. It seems like Bella is well loved in the story only as Edward's glory. I don't hate her that much though, its how she was created in the book. I'll leave her alone. And I must say Stewart gave justice to the Twilight Bella.
And yup, my well loved scene in the movie is the Baseball game, whatever the reason why Reed had to bat left-handedly.
Emmett's Kung Fu fighting pose cracks me up :)Labels: Twilight
