Twilight's review by Jessica


Twilight is a love-fantasy film, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, and released in Novembre 21, 2008 starring Kristen Stewart (who plays Isabella Swan) and Robert Pattinson (who plays Edward Cullen). It was inspired by a book called Twilight too, written by Stephenie Meyer. This film can be seen by everyone.

The story takes place in Forks, Washington. Bella, a teenager who has just moved to Forks, meets Edward Cullen. She discovers that he and his family are vampires but they drink animal blood rather than human. They fall in love but bad vampires want to kill Bella.

To my mind, the story is engrossing because the love story is quite unique and so moving. I particularly enjoyed it because their love seems doomed : Edward is a vampire and Bella is a simple human. Yet, their love is so strong that they will be able to stay together.
What's more, there is a lot of suspense when James (one of the bad vampires) wants to kill Bella.
One of the scenes I like the most is when the Cullen family plays baseball, just before the bad vampires arrive.
I'm fond of the film music : "Supermassive Black Hole" of Muse, "Leave Out All the Rest" of Linkin Park, "Decode" of Paramore...
There are awesome special effects when Edward runs very fast or when he climbs up on trees.

However, I read the book and I prefer it because we can better understand Bella's feelings and thoughts, so the film is not as vibrant as the book. And the film is a little too long sometimes.
I recommend this film because there's a beautiful love story and action too so a large audience could enjoy it.
