Plot summary
Isabella "Bella" Swan moves from sunny Phoenix, Arizona to rainy Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie. She chooses to do this so that her mother, Renée, can travel with her new husband, Phil Dwyer, who is a minor league baseball player. In Phoenix she was a bit of an outcast, so it surprises her that she attracts much attention at her new school and is quickly befriended by several students. Much to her dismay, several boys in the school, namely Mike Newton and Eric Yorkie, compete for shy Bella's attention.
When Bella sits next to Edward Cullen in class on her first day of school, Edward seems utterly repulsed by her. He even attempts to change his schedule to avoid her, leaving Bella completely puzzled about his attitude towards her. After tricking a family friend, Jacob Black of the Quileute tribe, into telling her the local tribal legends, Bella concludes that Edward and his family are vampires. Although she was inexplicably attracted to him even when she thought Edward drank human blood, she is much relieved to learn that the Cullens choose to abstain from drinking human blood, and drink animal blood instead. Over time, Edward and Bella fall in love. Their foremost problem is that to Edward, Bella's scent is a hundred times more potent than any other human's, making Edward struggle to resist his desire to kill her. However, despite this, Edward and Bella manage to stay together safely for a time.
The seemingly perfect state of their relationship is thrown into chaos when another vampire coven sweeps into Forks and James, a tracker vampire, decides that he wants to hunt Bella for sport. The Cullens plan to distract the tracker by splitting up Bella and Edward, and Bella is sent to hide in a hotel in Phoenix. Bella then gets a phone call from James in which he says that he has her mother, and Bella is forced to give herself up to James at her old dance studio, where he attacks her. Edward, along with the rest of the Cullen family, rescue Bella before James can kill her. Once they realize that James has bitten Bella's hand, Edward sucks the venom out of her system before it can spread and change her into a vampire. Upon returning to Forks, Bella and Edward attend their prom and Bella expresses her desire to become a vampire, which Edward refuses to let happen.

YES! On 10 Dec,I went to watch Twilight with Erin,Lynette and Connie. Wow,the movie is so captivating! It's obviously a sweet appeal to us,haha! (Yeah, it obviously attracts all the girls who LOVE dreaming!) Stephanie Meyer's literary phenomenon ensures that Twilight will be watched and watched by her hardcore fans,well,i think most fans are girls~guys??URGH..i think not many of them love this romance movie from my surveys. Aha!
The story is indeed different from typical romance movie.At first you may expect to see an action,horror,or thriller flick,but actually it's merely showing the love between Edward between Bella,and their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their pure love.AND of course i totally love those scenes where Edward always turns out to save Bella when she is in great risks!haha!
Edward and his family (the Cullens) are portrayed as 'vegetarian' in vampire clan..I thought that vampires drink human blood?have sharper teeth?will not reflect themselves in mirror?scare of cross and onions? NO such vampires under Stephanie Meyer's books. The vampires are mostly portrayed as beautiful, with fast and superhuman agility and strength. Unfortunately, most of the vampire mythology is thrown out the window though, so that the story can be told. Instead of sleeping all day, these vampires never sleep, and when sunlight hits them, they don’t die – just shimmer, as if their skin were made up of diamonds, their reflection can be seen in mirrors, plus nothing is mentioned of crosses, garlic etc. This all adds to the romanticism of the story, but it could have had a harder bite if it had stuck to the original myths.The devoted love showed by Edward(Robert Pattingson) and Bella(Kristen Stewart) is merely wonderful,their eye contacts,their whispers are so real as if a real chemistry is going on between them.haha!!
i cannot deny that the British actor,Pattingson particulary steals the audiences' hearts with his good looks..(though i hate his thick makeup,it's so pale-looking) compared to Stewart,i think he still need some room of improvement..Stewart play the role as Bella,a girl-next-door more lively and naturally.If would be better if she smiles more in this film..hahah.and we discovered that one of Bella's friend looks 99% like wan ren pu!
Whatever la,i think i'm going to be pretty mad for Vampires soon!GONNA READ THE NOVELS! pls forgive me, i always LOVE unique looove story!tata!
Gonna get those books soon!!
