Twilight Breaking Dawn Trailer – Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 should not see the light

Twilight Breaking Dawn Trailer – Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1, released Nov. 18, definitely isn’t the best in the Twilight series, not that achieving that status would qualify as high praise. Since the Twilight phenomenon began, the popularity of both the movies and Stephenie Meyer’s novels has progressed to mania. It has become difficult for those who have not read the series about the complicated human-vampire-werewolf love triangle to get excited, or enjoy and or even understand the films. Long story short the tale of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) and the whole mess of other humans and supernatural creatures has spun totally out of control. Finishing up their rich and colorful high school years, Bella and her pale vampire lover Edward have decided to take things to the next level. For most 18-year-olds, that might mean throwing a party or going on an overseas trip, but for this weird young couple, it means getting married so that Bella can finally be part of Edward’s creepy abnormal family. This is obviously a big decision for a girl who is barely an adult, but her main problem is neither her immaturity, nor her human-vampire relationship.

It is teen werewolf Jacob Black, who is just as in love with Bella as Edward is. And that is the whole premise of this film. This time around, even fans of the series have to admit that the plot is absolutely crammed with elements that are at best bizarre. And at its worst, the plot is completely insane. It’s hard for me to accept that this film was directed by an award-winning filmmaker. It is nothing more than a collection of random clips compiled by the demands of Twilight fans everywhere, not by Director Bill Condon. There is only one scene that made me believe that Breaking Dawn was directed by the same man who directed Dreamgirls and Gods and Monsters.

It was also the same scene that reminded me that Stewart can actually be more than a two-dimensional, senseless, crazy-for-monster-love teen the lovely wedding scene. Everyone gets involved in a stupid or crazy relationship when he/she is young, but Bella is about to commit to a permanent relationship with a vampire, which is ultimately more creepy than romantic. Condon’s camera catches terror in Bella’s eyes as she walks down the aisle, and 100 pages of subtext pass in an instant. It is the most truthful moment of The Twilight Saga thus far. But then, there is the rest of the movie. To be honest, it’s not necessary to split this novel into two parts, because the plot is so coherent from the wedding to the honeymoon, and the birth of their baby, interjected with changes in Jacob’s life. But screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg somehow turned the plot into a collage of retrospective scenes from the entire series.

Of course, just like every film adaptation, textures and depth from the book are lost. It’s almost impossible to fully grasp the story Breaking Dawn is trying to tell in the book, since we’re only given half of it. Breaking Dawn highlights what is wrong with the Twilight films so far some of the most original details Meyer put in her novels are excluded.

Without these details, the movie loses creativity and any connection to realistic life. Splitting the book into two films should have enabled Condon to spend more time on those original details. Hopefully, with the final installment, he can give us a movie that is actually worth 117 minutes of film instead of one that should have been condensed to 45 minutes. For a film that is filled with creatures who live by natural desires and hunger for blood, Breaking Dawn is too pale, even bloodless.
