TWILIGHT!!!!


I can't wait for this Friday, but what else is new. Not only is it the weekend and the end of another school week but this friday is different. This friday I am going to see the movie Twilight. If you haven't heard of this book you have been living in a hole for the past 6 months. If you haven't read it, and you are a girl, you should go pick up a copy. It is a great and easy read. I am not one for reading books but I couldn't put this one down. Guys I understand but I know some guys who have read it and they liked it. I am actually going with a group to see this friday and some boys are going with us (and no we aren't forcing them!).

So when I was deciding what to write about in my blog this week I decided to talk about what I am hoping this movie will be. I have seen every single trailer and I feel like I could have seen the whole movie. But there are so many scenes I am hoping they kept in the movie. The meadow was my favorite chapter from all four books. I am worried that they weren't able to get the right sense that people get from the book. The reason that this book is hard to capture as a movie is because everyone has different opinions about every aspect of the book. The way the cast was made I personally like. Many people do not see Rob Pattinson as Edward. Or they think that the actress that plays Bella isn't right. Also this book is all froms bella's  point of view. This makes it hard to capture anyones point of view in the right way or the way the people who read it thought of. Twenty pages of the book at a time could all be about one moment that Bella is experiencing. It would talk about her thought and what she feels, smells, and hears. They can't show these pages in a movie. They had to alter the movie to be long enough and to say everything they wanted to say. I am excited to see this movie and even though I didn't want them to change anything I am excited to see what have done with it. I hope it will live up to my expectations.
