ECLIPSE

I really never imagined that at this age where my thoughts have been solidified, when a child has a constant cough in the middle of the night and a runny nose in the morning, and then happens to have a cold, I can encounter such a movie - Twilight Saga. I'm really stuck in it....

I have seen it on TV before, and I immediately changed the channel after scanning the screen. Too magical, terrifying, and unrealistic to love. But on that night when I had a cold and waited for my son to fall asleep, I actually finished watching the first one, which once again verified my previous theory that a movie based on a best-selling novel would really be deeply moved, maybe something like The same as the advertisement selling brandy, with dozens of aftertastes. In my memory, TVB in 2009 once gave me this feeling.

It is undeniable that the first thing I was attracted to after watching the first part was the appearance of the male and female protagonists, the exciting and hazy love. Like what Meteor Garden, why, etc., are the love between a domineering man and an opinionated woman. The same rule, it is the process of how the male protagonist conquers the female protagonist. Of course, these female protagonists have independent thoughts and are not easily attracted by mediocre men. It's just that there are more love elements in this movie. The relationship between hunter and prey like vampire romantic is indeed a bit new, and the logic is rigorous enough.

Of course, a good movie isn't just about brushing your face. The second layer that attracts me is the way of speech of various people in the film, rather than the way of communication between people. First of all, of course, the emotional drama between Bella and Edward, with the lingering and desire that the audience can feel with that breath, the dialogue is simple, direct and true. There are no nasty lines, no erotic pictures, and no colors that take away beautiful love. In addition to lingering, there must be quarrels between couples, but I didn't expect Edward and Bella's communication to be so attractive, there are other people such as Charlie and Bella's father-daughter dialogue, Jake and Bella, and car accident and birthday party After the accident, Bella and others conversation. The calm, simple, direct feel of the heroine is really appealing. I enjoyed watching her every look and every word she could answer. At my age, I admire Bella's character very much. She is brave, but uncertain, clumsy, not sweet enough, independent-minded but a little gloomy to outsiders. The character of this character is indeed shaped very successfully. Secondly, the communication between people is very equal, between lovers, between fathers and daughters, even between rivals and feuds, they are all equal and elegant. This is really in line with Western values, everything can be talked about, everything can be communicated, even if it is a different type of people who have been polarized into wolf and vampire, and they can understand each other and have the courage to admit it. For example, when jake kisses Bella, Bella immediately punches back, Edward angrily looks for Jake and Charlie to persuade him to fight. A series of behaviors and words are really the correct values! If it is a domestic movie, for the box office, everyone will come up with a few big moves and martial arts scenes, and then talk about it after seeing both sides lose. Of course, for scum, such as new born vampire, it is definitely a united fight to fight. The power of culture is really a guide to social values. I have to say that this is a high-end work, not a sadomasochistic novel of Qiong Yao's level.

In the end, it is the choice of courage and the arrangement of fate. It is still a Western work, and the most essential thing is to say listen to the voice from the bottom of my heart. Including Bella's choice for Edward to transform her, including her resistance to the Tuworth family, including Bella's insistence on giving birth to half-human, half-vampire Daughter, in fact, it shows people's choices in life. Of course, it is still traditional religious thought, and fate has already made arrangements. For example, jake eventually becomes a wolf. For example, the vampires of the Cullen family are helpless for thousands of years. , these are all predestined. But in the long river of fate, there are still many changes and choices that depend on courage, such as the combination of Edward and Bella, Bella's choice, and Jake's compromise to Yin's love for Bella.

Maybe people of different ages have different resonances and understandings of the same literary works. I didn't watch this movie until it was released almost ten years later. I think it's just right, and what I have learned is really rich, and I admire the author of the novel very much. The idea of ​​​​the film, and the re-creation of the film's music, picture tone, and plot script made me even more immersed in it. It's rare, a magical love novel, not vulgar, a movie that respects the original book and is just right.
