Suddenly I'm a kind of a Twilight addict! It's really weird to say that because I heard a lot about the book/movie the last months but I had no interest in reading/watching it. I saw the movie trailer later and... again, no interest! But everything changed the last friday, when a friend of mine called me to go to the movies. We decided to watch Madagascar 2 - again for me, because I love the movie. ♥ But when we was about to buy the ticket, she made my mind and we decided to watch Twilight - again for her, because she loves the movie. I confess that Pattinson was the most important thing that made me want to watch the movie, not because I think he's a God or something like that (he's not even beautiful!), but because he played perfectly as one of my favorite characters in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Cedric Diggory. Well, I watched Twilight with her, and at the end of the movie he was like the most important thing again, but this time as Edward Cullen. Dear God, I fell in love with his character. He is completely fascinating! She told me that the Edward of the book was even more adorable, so on the next day I started reading the first book. I'm fishing it right now, and I have to say that she is totally right. Every woman wants a man like that, huh? Every girl dreams with a perfect love, so love stories are like dreams to us. But the real problem is that I already have my own perfect gentleman, and to see Edward Cullen is making me miss him more than ever, because he is miles and miles away from me, traveling with his parents. =( They call it saudade. It's a word that describes a strong feeling of longing for someone that is not with you. It's a word that only exists in Portuguese vocabulary. Pretty intense, I may say. It hurts, I can't deny, but it hurts in a comfortable way. As they say, a mixture of happy and sad feelings focused on days gone by. But I think it's not that bad because I know that he'll come back to me soon. Anyway, let's stop talking about this. Back to the topic! XD
Honestly, guys! I think the author did a good job on this character. I can't say that it's one of my favorite books, but I may say that he is now one of my favorite characters. Since I start reading, many, many years ago (I seem very old speaking like that, I know), I have this habit of falling in love with some characters. Well, not only with books, but with games, animes and movies in general. This happens in a lot of ways: because I love the way they are, like L (Eru); because I admire them, like Frankenstein's monster; because I respect them, like Edmond Dantes; because I'd like to be like them, like Miles Edgeworth. And Edward Cullen really touched me. Even being a vampire, he is perfect as a man... he is perfect as a human. I think that's why he is not. It's always important reminding people that what we feel is what we are, because it seems like they forgot it. It's only a personal thought, but this is the truth for me: nothing could make a person existence more significant than living for another. Nothing could make you more worthy as a human being.
Jesus, I guess I typed too much. I hope I'll be able to increase my English skills on the next post. See you soon, guys.
