But "Twilight" is like a clear stream to cleanse our impetuous hearts and awaken our hearts that are no longer young.
The background of the film is very beautiful, without those row upon row of high-rise buildings, without the boundless yellow sand in the sky, and replaced by lush mountains, winding rivers, and smoky forests... Can't help but feel far away Relax in the hustle and bustle of the city. Bella's skin is as white as snow, and her expression is melancholy, like a budding snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains. Heart, staged a beautiful and soft love story, although gentle and subtle, but silently moisturizing our hearts like spring rain.
Although the film deals with the common horror film theme of vampires, in "Twilight", vampires are more like seasonings deliberately added for this pure love, they are no longer murderous "predators", Rather, it coexists in harmony with human beings. The Karen family in the film, although a blood-sucking family, are vegetarians who only eat animals and never harm humans. Despite keeping a distance from humans, she has a stronger family concept with humans. Because of Edward's love for Bella, she regards the whole family as a member of the family and protects her at risk. If you put aside their vampire status, this is not much different from the heroes we often see in our films.
The love story told in the film is not the short and intense fiery love we often see in adults, but it is positioned in the love of teenagers, which is not only easier to accept, but also resonates with the audience. As the saying goes, "Which boy is not affectionate, which girl is not fond of spring", Bella and Edward fell in love at first sight, and after we got used to the adult-style love of passionate physical contact on the bed, we felt fresh and natural, and blended with each other. The love of a boy and a girl is like a spring seed that slowly takes root, germinates, and grows, full of poetic and picturesque. There is no violence, even the battle with the cannibal vampires is cleverly covered up by the means of camera switching; there is no pornography, the sweet kiss when the love is strong replaces the passionate physical contact, this platonic spiritual love , can not help but make us feel precious.
Although the film is a love story of a ghost love, but remove the identity of the vampire, it is like happening in our real life. For young people, which boys and girls in their school days do not desire to have a pure love; Bella and Edward's love is like the hazy state of their feelings, infinite yearning but they have to restrain themselves. For an adult like me, when feeling the innocence of the love between the two, they can't help but think of the first love they once had.
Although human life is short, when they have pure love, they all long for the realm of "the sea is dead and the earth is old". At the end of the film, Bella longs to be with Edward forever, and she longs to have a body like Edward. This seems to be like the "marriage siege" that we often discuss. For Bella, immortality seems to be the best way for her to stay with her lover, but for Edward, they have to live forever. The fate of loneliness, but in their hearts they yearn to be able to escape the shackles of loneliness like a normal person.
Overall, although the film has nothing special in its narrative structure and subjective concept, it shows the innocence and beauty of teenage love very well. Although the film's portrayal of the character characteristics of the supporting characters is slightly rough, and the story of the werewolf family has not been unfolded, this is after all the opening work of this series, and I am looking forward to the wonderful sequel.
