Twilight: love against all odds


Twilight, the film adaptation sign that Catherine Hardwicke's first volume of the tetralogy with great success by Stephenie Meyer, a film is not without flaws. It is a film that deserves to be loved. First, because the script by Melissa Rosenberg captures the essence of the novel and, to them, will delight millions of fans of the books. On paper, it should be seen as an excellent adaptation of the story of Bella, ordinary girl in love with Edward, a boy magnetic charm which is actually a vampire. Then, because the sensuality of writing by Stephenie Meyer is echoed on the screen through the camera of the filmmaker, who knows caress his players, their eyes, their skin and through the palpable chemistry between two lovers, played by Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. The latter, despite the screaming who stood among the "twilighters" when it was known he had obtained the role of the vampire loved, will certainly drive the Zac Efron and other cute outside the heart of many teenagers. It is also cracking qu'inquiétant-against-his-will, as is Edward. Finally, because Catherine Hardwicke, to whom we owe Thirteen and Lords of Dogtown, knows the teen film. Friends' normal 'Bella, those she meets at school, although almost never at the forefront, are crying in their natural relations, they are doing. Lack of resources In fact, the problem with Twilight, which gives still sometimes in excess candy later (oh, that scene where the two lovers, coated with a music dégoulinante are lying in a clearing!) And only remains as the surface of the members of the family of Edward (yet fascinating), is mainly a lack of that talent does not always fill. We spoke in effect a budget of 38 million, which is modest for the genre. So how does not pouffer before the mime-white skin and non-translucent vampire certain characters? How not to address some eyebrows special effects? Fortunately, the scenes of action and struggle are not very many, Twilight taking over Romeo and Juliet as Dracula. Because if all draws at each other, Bella and Edward are not logically made for each other. Even if the boy is a member of a clan who decided to feed on animal blood and to respect human life, it remains fatally attracted by what flows through the veins of his beloved and strength is such that it could unintentionally kill her. But the real danger for the teenage vampires come from nomads, who see human beings as food, period. Among them, the Montreal Rachelle Lefevre. Despite his short time on screen, his presence is significant. And promises for future strands of the story. For despite its shortcomings, Twilight deserves - and will - to success. This can only benefit its aftermath. It already looks forward to New Moon and Eclipse.
