Twilight
The word ‘Twilight’ - last time I checked – meant dusk, nightfall, sundown or sunset.
However, nowadays, when the word ‘Twilight’ seems to arise out of someone’s mouth, it’s not these words that seem to crop up in their mind, its aaaaaahhhhhhhhh Robert Pattinson… Taylor Lautner. If I look in the dictionary, indisputably, these words WON’T be in there. Undeniably, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. Twilight. Not the dictionary ‘Twilight’, the FILM called ‘Twilight’. It’s where they have vampires and werewolves and a girl who plays the typical ‘girl’ character of a damsel in distress.
When ‘vampires’ were made, they were meant to be scared of the sun because they got burnt, not SHINE in the sun. What is all that about? They have turned the repulsive vampires that caused our spine to chill in an alarming way when we thought about them. And guess what they did? They turned them into ‘beautiful’ creatures that care for human beings! This has stripped away the real intimidating presence of vampires and why they were created in the first place. They were meant to be blood thirsty, cold blooded predators that were ever known by the fiction world. Now, they are flirtatious, pulchritudinous maniacs that seduce teenage girls and exhilarate them in a voluptuous manner.
I don’t know what you understand about Twilight - the film – but here’s what I got out of the film. The guy goes, ‘Hey, I’m a blood thirsty vampire who can suck the life out of people…oh… and I might kill you if we start dating’. Then she goes, ‘OK’. If someone says that to me, I would sprint a mile… even though he can run about a 1000 times faster than me. Well… I would still try. No one in their right mind would want to stay there and not run away… maybe he hypnotised her already with his extraordinarily clichéd good-looks and a body that shines miraculously in the sun.
Then the film carries on and after she ‘decides’ to date him - so she believes - they fall in love and they get married
