Friends over this Christmas have asked me what is it about Twilight, the movie that has attracted me so much to it. Well, aside from the interesting characters of Edward and Bella and a few others, I also really like....the cinematography, the music soundtrack (which the casts had a say in. i.e Kirsten Stewart who played Bella in the movie chose the song they danced to at the gazebo at the prom), the baseball scene (with that rocking Muse song, Super Massive Black Hole which I love running to), Robin Pattinson's rather charming crooked smile, the blossom of first love which is really sexy because they have to hold themselves in check:) , the teenage angst that bought me back to my high school days, and director's Catherine Hardwicke's rock n' roll treatment of the bad vampires - James, Laurent and Victoria, I also really admire the author Stephenie Meyer's climb to success.
Here you have a housewife and mum (or mom for the North Americans reading this) who had a dream about these two star crossed lovers/characters in a meadow, and woke up to write a successful book in 6 months. Stephenie Meyer is a legend! And what is so cool about it all was she wrote the story for herself. She's definitely a romantic. I like!:)
