Why twilight is good

The main character "falls in love" with a boy and soon ditches all her friends. When they break up at one point, she spirals into an extreme depression and can't go on with out him. Horrible, horrible message to send to already vulnerable teens. I think it's a great book to use as a teaching point about unhealthy relationships.

Adult Written by helsingmusique October 5, Just Don't I don't think watching this will harm anyone that much mentally, although there are some things to consider. First off, I have to admit, I've seen the first 3 films and I have read the complete series, I read the books first and started really turning my opinions of this series when the movie came out. The acting is really bad in this film, I really do think it is mainly the lead, Kristen Stewart's acting that makes this film completely uncomfortable to watch, but that's a personal opinion on someone's acting skills.

The script for this movie wasn't well done, in most movies they create from books, they have to cut stuff out, in this film however they could have made some stuff up, probably would have helped the movie. It isn't that interesting until you get to the end when there actually is the only bit of violence and action in the film, the rest is quite boring besides when she almost gets hit by a van, that's a little interesting.

Most people could probably watch this movie and have an opinion that it was neither good nor bad if they didn't deal with the hype this movie created and they hadn't read the books originally, but because I did both, this movie was such a let down. Although one good thing about the movie, it helped young me see how twisted this book was.

It is inappropriate no matter who you are, to sneak into someone's house to watch them sleep, however this happens in the movie and the book, it's creepy. Not only that, but they used this very creepy, stalker-like move and pegged it off as being romantic, which it isn't and no one should be taught it was.

Also, and this is digging past the storyline and into the characters, the fact that this series has created a female lead character that is not only so helpless, but can be quite stupid at times as well, is just boring on sexism.

Men and supernatural creatures, yeah, the implications in this film are not good if you look at it through a feminist perspective. But that also means it is being sexist towards men as well because they have to be strong and powerful, they can't receive help individually. Although that being said, this film will not likely mess up your small child, all I know is you couldn't pay me to watch that film again.

Parent of a 3, 6, 8, and year-old Written by MidnightMom March 27, I have seen this movie at least 40 times! This is my fav movie, besides maybe Remember Me.

As for my kids, they have all seen Twilight, maybe 5 times, even my 3 yr old. They love it, the 6, and 8 yr olds like it the most. They cheer for the good guy and the bad guys and the scene in her bedroom is the only place in the movie that I am a bit uncomfortable with but I didnt make a big deal of it and neither do they. Adult Written by NikkiNix February 13, Mixed feelings I'm 47 yrs old, i absolutely love the movies and the book's.

My daughter is a very grown up 10 yr old and im desperate to watch my favourite tv shows and films with her. So I've been considering the Twilight movies. Having read other reviews ive decided to wait afew more years. Although on one level the films are entertaining and keep you interested and personally i find them very enjoyable,however its concerning when you look deeper into the story and consider the message's growing young minds could take from the films.

For me we will wait a couple more years then have a lovely afternoon snuggled on the sofa binge watching them all.

Adult Written by vampiresrulewer September 5, Um, for all you haters of this book and movies saga, you don't what the hades you are talking about this.

This saga is pure gold and perfect! Jasper's personality really sends a positive and heartfelt message. He is my king!!! And Edward, don't even get my started on Edward!!

HE is the most perfect, hottest, gorgeous guy alive, or should I say dead! They are amazing and I am personally part of their vampire clan.

The werewolf's suck obviously Jacob is stuck up and annoying and not even that hot!!!! Edward is the most perfect boyfriend alive and becuase hes a vampire, that justifies why he is a stalker. Bella, is a wonderful strong powerful role model to young women everywhere. Primary Mobile Navigation. Megan Cowdell. Next Article Aggies' game against Cowboys cancelled. Events Calendar.

She could never outrun him, he is far stronger than her. There is something a bit kinky about this, and rightly so. Lest we forget, Twilight was the inspiration for the tame erotica series which began with Fifty Shades of Grey. Bella is the young version of Anastasia, learning that maybe she quite likes being submissive. Love it or hate it, the romance works.

Rewatched years on and Twilight is a lot more than that though. An early scene in science class sees Bella walk in and pose right in front of a fan like it was a wind machine. Later in the same lab, Edward sits in front of a taxidermied owl so he looks like he has literal angel wings. Twilight is funny. Which is part of what makes it funny. The first movie in the Twilight saga has stuck around in the charts since then. Most fans are gleefully celebrating what they've always known: these movies are bonkers, and there are new bonkers details to discover in each viewing.

Stephanie Meyer's books are an entirely different creature than the movies, in which the characters seem to have fun every once in a while. Unlike the movies, I genuinely struggled to get through the books, tomes that are mostly concerned with Bella Swan's not very interesting internal monologue.

The movie streamlines the actions and characters into comfortable archetypes. All you really need to know is that Bella is the new girl who doesn't know how beautiful she is, the Cullens are the hot rich kids in town who are also vampires, and Edward Cullen isn't sure if he wants to eat Bella or date her.

Watching this film now, it's remarkable that all the things I thought of as "cringe" when I was younger I can now see are its greatest strengths. As I read the books I always imagined Edward and Bella as more suave; the small town of Forks, Washington as less working class; Jacob as less of a himbo.

I smoothed the edges of this frankly ramshackled narrative into a shape that made sense. The movie affords us no such luxuries.

What's most remarkable is that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart largely play the characters as written. Bella and Edward are two beautiful, shallow people who want to fuck very badly but can't, and there's not really a whole else going on in their brains. Both actors caught so much flack for their awkward, mumbly line reads, but they were playing the characters as true to their backgrounds.

Edward Cullen is a hundred year old virgin who has been in high school for about half a century, and Bella Swan's only consistent character motivation for the entire series is to get fucked and become immortal.
