Maybe it's the star-crossed love between immortal Edward and mortal Bella, maybe it's the amazing writing of Stephanie Meyer, perhaps the fantastic directing of Catherine Hardwicke, or maybe the prestine acting from Pattinson, Stewart and all the other amazing actors and actresses that made the scenes of Twilight come to life.
I'm going to talk about each of these possiblities and why it makes Twilight an amazing film series and book series! Starting with...
Star-Crossed Love!
Edward is an immortal, he'll never die, he'll never age and it's almost impossible to kill him. Bella is a mortal, she'll eventually die, she'll always age and it is possible to kill her. So why are they so attracted to each other?Bella's blood is like a drug to Edward, he could crush her skull as he brushes her cheek, his self control could snap and he could suck every galleon of blood from her body, and yet she's completely enthralled and amazed with him.
"...Everything about me invites you in...my face...my voice...even my smell..." (Edward Cullen)
Edward wants Bella to be safe away from him, and yet not even he can stay away.
"Starcrossed" ultimately means, ill-fated. In other words, no matter what they do the'll lose something.
Bella wants to be with Edward forever, the only way she can do this is to become immortal - become a vampire. The cost? Her humanity, her family and everything that Edward initially fell in love with about her. But is that what really matters?
Then if she doesn't change she'll age and eventually die. The cost for this option? Total destruction in the minds and hearts of these two souls. And a timeless parting between them, death for one and for the other - an eternal walk on the earth without the one who made him whole.
"...Edward is pretty much sleepwalking until Bella comes along..." (Kristen Stewart)
"For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul" - Judy Garland
