And answere 1 quick question for me. How do yall know that he is abusive to in Breaking Dawn if you guys haven't seen the movie. Movies are different from the books.

Twi hards make it almost impossible for someone who isn't a completely obsessed fan girl (under the age of 16, as is the case 90% of the time) to like the series at all! You say "Yeah, I liked Twilight." ,and everyone automatically assumes your bedroom walls are covered in posters of Robert and Taylor. Or that you scream like a tweenybopper at the movie everytime Taylor's shirt comes off. Which is not the case.There are plenty of us who enjoy the books and the movies (with the exception of how terribly made the first movie is) and ARE NOT CRAZY OBSESSED WITH IT. I do not on Twilight posters or t-shirts with the boy's faces on them. I do not live/eat/breathe Twilight. It is not the greatest series ever written. I think more people who aren't Twi hards need to speak up and say "I enjoy Twilight, but I still have a life!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103359100322696337.post-78768442374571550022011-09-07T08:41:30.967-04:002011-09-07T08:41:30.967-04:00Most hype I've herd is people complaining that...Most hype I've herd is people complaining that Edward isn't a vampire because he sparkles, or Jacob isn't a werewolf..that hes a shape-shifter..people put to much thought into how the characters should be because of how someone else made up characteristics for the (vampire) or (werewolf) If Stephanie wanted Edward to sparkle, so be it..all the books/movies are FICTION ..believe if u want,and enjoy the story.. if not, y are u complaining????? its clear that the story isn't for you..find something else that catches you interest....

It's got proper relationships, proper action, and DOBBY! Harry Potter is a series people will keep on their bookshelf for generations. Twilight is a series that stood on my bookshelf for about wo seconds before being returned to my mother. It was so boring that even just sitting and doing nothing would have been better. Did you hear that Hermione and Ron won in a relationship compared to edward and bella. Yeah that's because they actually are a good couple. WHEN RON LEFT HERMIONE, SHE CONTINUED WITH HER SEARCH FOR HORCRUXES EVENTUALLY DESTROYING VOLDEMORT AND SAVING THE WORLD. WHEN EDWARD LEFT BELLA, SHE JUMPED OFF A CLIFF! See, just another example of Harry Potter's domination. It's got a THEME PARK and 8 movies! Not to mention POTTERMORE, who's early sign ups went faster than you can say...

I can definitely see how young girls identify with Bella in the beginning of the movie. She is quiet and reserved, yet she has an attitude that makes you believe that she does not care what people think about her which is empowering. However, as soon as Edward enters the plot, I could barely stomach the movie. Edward and Bella’s relationship bothered me from the very beginning. When Edward first sees Bella he just stares at her. I think that it is supposed to be seen as flattering but to me it just seemed creepy and rude. Throughout the movie Edward acts in blatantly obsessive and stalker-like ways. He is constantly showing up wherever she is including, her room, in the town, and at school. He says things like, “I like watching you sleep” and “I can’t ever lose control of you” and “you are my life now.” Before even knowing anything about Bella he tells her that he feels very protective over her. The love at first sight theme of this movie is so exaggerated that it seemed ridiculous to me. As soon as Bella and Edward start spending time together she immediately isolates herself from her family and her friends. All of her time gets dedicated to Edward in a time span that didn’t seem to be longer than a week. The first time Bella and Edward kiss they start kissing passionately, then he violently pushes Bella off and screams, “stop it!” This in itself is abusive behavior in a relationship. He is leading her on to believe that he is madly in love with her but as soon as anything physical happens he pushes her away. In the end of the movie Edward sucks poisonous venom out of Bella’s arm in order to save her life. He says, “I thought I wasn’t going to be able to stop.” I viewed this scene of the movie as a metaphor for sex and being able to control yourself to stop when you are living a life of abstinence. Bella’s expresses in the ending scene of the movie that she wants to die so she can be with Edward forever. She is willing to give up her family, her friends and her life to be with a boy that she hardly knows. Is this really how relationships should be portrayed to millions of young girls? That they should give up everything they have to be with a boy that they barely met and don’t know anything about? That it is okay for a boy to tell you he loves you and then push you away? That obsessive behavior like stalking is okay for a man to do in order to feel in control? I must admit that it was impossible for me to completely disregard my prior bias to this movie while critiquing it, but I am glad I watched it because I can now claim my own opinion and say that this story shows definite gender roles of male domination, dating violence and unhealthy habits within a young relationship. <br /><br />RosieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401544101119866421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103359100322696337.post-64470159778993645882011-04-02T16:43:25.399-04:002011-04-02T16:43:25.399-04:00I have never read any of the books or seen any of ...I have never read any of the books or seen any of the movies in the Twilight Saga. I have heard really great things about this story but I have also heard very bad things. What intrigues me most about Twilight is what I have heard about it being anti-feminist. I would definitely say that I am a woman whose values align very closely with many things that represent feminism. It has been discussed that Twilight portrays an abusive and obsessive relationship that is glorified to young girls in a very fragile time in their lives. On the other hand, I have heard that Twilight is a contemporary romance novel filled with action and adventure. Never having seen any of the movies or read any of the books, I have made the decision to watch the first movie as unbiased as possible, disregarding all my preconceived notions and form an opinion of my own. Wish me luck!<br /><br />RosieUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401544101119866421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103359100322696337.post-71657435051967032522011-03-30T15:24:51.753-04:002011-03-30T15:24:51.753-04:00I'm a Twi-mom and I loved and still love the s...I'm a Twi-mom and I loved and still love the series! I fell in love with both Bella and Edward during the first book, and after reading the series and re-watching the movies over and over, I still can't get enough. My husband thinks I'm obsessed, and yes I can't argue with him. However, it's the fantasy of it all that's fascinating...to me. It's like you said, it's exaggerated romance between an ordinary girl and one hot Vampire. Who wouldn't want to be with a gorgeous vampire?! ME ME, PICK ME!! LOL! I thought the books were easy and quick reads, which to me are the best to loose yourself with the story. I'm definitley a Rob Pattinson fan and Team Edward, but it's really the fantacy of Edward that got me onto the Rob Pattinson fan club. I'm not sure if it were anyone else that played the character, if I would be that "obssessed" with it all. I think it was merely luck to find that perfect person to play the character. I'm so excited about Breaking Dawn, and can not wait to see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103359100322696337.post-68683900055075310832011-03-01T18:52:16.718-05:002011-03-01T18:52:16.718-05:00You have some valid points in this review, or what...You have some valid points in this review, or whatever you want to call it.

Most of the people that will comment are going to be 13 year old girls, and making fun of their excessive use of exclamation marks was kind of bitchy. You claim to use spell check, and proper punctuation..but you might want to re-read your review. I found countless things wrong with it..like commas where they need to be, and etc. If people didn't comment then that would mean that no one read this crap.
