A fellow reporter was enlisting the literatures of TWILIGHT, a novel on spectacular love, wonderful wild and magical dates among her book list. Just as I have done watching the movie thrice: first, simply for a sight; second, i dozed in the middle to sleep; and third, tonight... as I was challenged to view it again because close kins were so amazed and hooked on it.
So I decided to copy a part of the movie's conversation here via goodread's review, which reads:
"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. ''Be very still,'' he whispered, as if I wasn''t already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat. " As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he''s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward''s sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer''s writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction.
I mustered all the focus I need to fully understand this affair--thanks to GinkgkoBiloba.
Verse after verse. Conversations per conversations. I wasn't magically hooked though, except I wondered what it would feel to be dated on top of a giant tree with a mysterious lover.
Occassionally, my mind shifts to kins' fascinating screams (uh, I wish I could watch a movie like how they watch... so filled with emotions.) Hehe, before the vampire-lover could even drop his line, someone near me muttered it ahead...
"Your scent is like a drug to me... .... to be so protective of you."
And, we all laughed. Teens are so fast with their memory and they play with it zealously with so much affection.
As smile did not left my naughty thought, I was actually secretly wondering who would drop the verse "if you would live forever, who would you live for?"
And, to rescue their fantasy, "Uh, ate... you can read that in the novel... and probably by the sequel movie. There is still part two. Be patient."
Shifting in my seat, I thought that "if I could live forever, I will not be a vampire. And surely, there are many reasons whom I'd live for."
Darn... gotta sleep Atchik and Pokong... You are so crazy.
