Would Edward be able to resist killing Bella? Would Bella be willing to give up her life for Edward?I am more than halfway through the last book of the Twilight Series -- Breaking Dawn. I am expecting to finish it tonight and tomorrow would be a time to hear Edward Cullen's story behind the very bizarre and reason-defying love story of him and Bella Swan. This story has just captivated my mind. Every single thing I think of these days are about Edward and Bella.. and sometimes the funny imprinting of Bella's werewolf best friend Jacob to her and Edward's only half-vampire and half-human daughter Renesmee.
Just like a normal addict (as if being an addict is normal), I haven't stopped just by reading the books. Researches here and there have kept me preoccupied in the last few days. Videos, music, write-ups, pictures.. I have searched the net endlessly as I am waiting for the climax of this addiction. I have watched all of the movies' trailers and that made me even more excited of the movie, which is set to be shown in the theaters the day before I fly out from the country. Hmm.. I would definitely sacrifice packing my things just to sneak out with my friends to watch the movie. I hope I wouldn't be doing that though. I hope that I would finish packing by the 25th.
Edward Cullen, the most powerful and selfless fictional character that I have ever read in my entire life, is being played by London born actor Robert Pattinson. Since I was never a fan of Harry Potter, I have never heard of Robert Pattinson until this movie came along. I looked at some pictures and I was a bit worried if I would be able to come out of the movie house convinced that Robert Pattinson was indeed Edward Cullen. But having watched the trailers, I actually discovered that Rob has done an amazing job in radiating the true character of Edward Cullen. In fact, I found a still shot taken from the movie which convinced me that I would not be worried about Edward's portrayal. Look at this. This is the exact same smile that I have always imagined. This smile only belongs to Edward Cullen.
I feel almost the exact opposite about Bella Swan though. From the pictures, Kristen Stewart who plays Bella Swan is amazingly georgeous. Though the books described her as plain looking, I actually forgave the movie for picking a hot chic to play her role because I myself wanted Bella to be beautiful beyond Edward's imagination, though I know that Edward sees Bella as the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his unusually long life. From the trailers, I haven't seen Bella in Kristen's performance. I thought that she was too strong for the very fragile and helpless character of Bella. But who knows? I have only seen a very small portion of the movie and it is not enough to judge Kristen's performance.
Though I limited my research to Edward and Bella, my eyes caught a name that made this movie even more interesting for me. Guess who? Oh well, Sarah Clarke. Sarah Clarke plays the immature and fickle-minded mother of Bella who is so so in love to her new hubby Phil -- Renee Dwayer. To be honest, I don't know how Sarah would portray that kind of a role and I am really very curious of how she would look like in such a character.
Sarah is a very good actress no doubt. In fact, she is one of my favorite villainess. I can just remember how amazed I was by her transformation as the second-in-command federal agent and former mistress of the superhero Jack Bauer to a cold-blooded, multilingual terrorist. She was definitely a very big part of the success of the heart-stopping series (and one of my addictions too) 24. But an immature mother?! I can't imagine it since I have only seen Sarah do stunts and shoot guns. I know though that she would be able to pull this off.
As early as now, I believe that Twilight would be a big hit. The story is just too powerful to be ignored, not too mention the stellar and star-studded cast of the movie. The actors and actresses performances would certainly be something to watch out for.
