Thoughts of Twilight - Trailer Edition
I finally found another copy of the trailer on a site where I could download it and then e-mail it to myself at work so I could see and hear it! I got a little carried away in my imagination, as usual, but I thought I would write my thoughts down anyway. It helps me be more alive when I write the creative workings of my mind down!
A lot of people seem to have a problem with the "intensity" of the trailer. To me, it's fantastic! Of course, I get a freakish adrenaline rush over thriller and horror genres, but this doesn't fall into any of those categories. I don't even view it as a romance in the way that many do [fan-girls much?]...I see the love story as the center of it, but there are so many other deep, dark emotions intertwined with it all.
I love the darkness of the trailer (though I don't feel it that dark) because it matches the gray darkness and rain of Forks, and the darkness and agony of having an eternal soul as a vampire...Edward has been so lonely looking for "the one", you know? I think the music is brilliant, too! It's like a little music box conveying emotions of some mysterious history, of a suffering soul, and intensity of passion that lies underneath. Every magical note drips heavily off the hanging moss covered limbs of the trees and fills the surroundings with that much more mystery, almost like the forest is a forbidden place. It's so magical!
I've loved Rob Pattinson for quite some time, and am very pleased with his performance as Edward. He puts on the American accent so well, too! You can hear the longing, thirst, and tranquility in his voice with every beautiful syllable he says. "Awhile" rolls off his tongue so gorgeously. I think Rob does a fantastic job portraying protectiveness for Bella just in his words. It's almost as if I can see him holding himself back from Bella because he knows he should, but he's just dying to be with her at the same time. I can feel his patience (he's waited this long, what's a few more years even?). I can feel his secret. I can feel his passion and how is allures Bella in. It's beautiful.
I was initially disappointed with Kristen Stewart being cast, but I think she is a perfect fit for the part. I feel that Bella has a bit dry and sarcastic and has the mentality of an adult...I feel Kristen fits that perfectly. I'm not sure what to think about how she will
handle the emotional parts in New Moon, but I'm sure it'll be great.
I love the end where it shows Edward with Bella on his back, running through the forest. The special effects are totally going to make the experience of running way cooler than I could even imagine up. Amazing!
I was patient for the movie, but now I feel the wait is going to consume me. In the meantime, I will just keep rereading!!! Crap...December, hurry up and come!
And I can't wait for my camping trip to the Olympic Peninsula now!!!!! The forest is GORGEOUS! I may never come back to Utah after that. The trees look even more gorgeous than the trees back home. My mind has always lived in a place of gloom, of mystery, of intensity, of magical things, and of eras from long ago full of folklore...and it always wanders to lush green panoramic views...that's why Harry Potter appealed to me in such a strong way, and that's why Twilight does the same in a much darker and beautiful way full of quiet unspoken agony, joy, and solitude all rolled into one.
