If the books weren’t enough, a movie just had to be produced to satisfy the fans craving for Twilight. Mark Morgan, Greg Mooradian and Wyck Godfrey, in collaboration with Stephenie Meyer, produced the long awaited big-screen version of the famous book, Twilight.

Twilight is a modern-day forbidden love story between a teenage mortal girl and a vampire. Isabella Swan (more commonly known as Bella), comes to Forks, Washington to live with her father when her mother re-marries. She doesn’t expect much to happen until she meets Edward Cullen, a mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he is unique in that he chooses not to live through human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees through Bella’s soul. Soon, they are swept up into a passionate romance.

The cast for the movie was exquisitely chosen to fit each character’s personality. Kristen Stewart portrayed Bella perfectly. Other than the resemblance in looks, she showed almost exactly how Bella would act. Stewart didn’t only act out a character in a movie. She became the character herself. She became Bella Swan. Robert Pattinson, on the other hand, gave a clear view on how everybody’s favorite vampire would look like. He acted out Edward’s part quite well.

For those who haven’t read the book yet, they may find the movie romantic and thought-provoking. Parents, readers and non-readers alike, may like the movie because it also exhibits the practice of self-control, a common problem with children. But for readers of the book, they may get disappointed with the cut-offs in the movie. One of the things omitted in the movie were the passionate scenes between Edward and Bella. There were also important conversations that were excluded from the movie. There were also scenes that were included in the movie which was not in the book. Online posts also showed that there were crew members that didn’t appeal to the fans’ standards.

For those who are looking for a modern-day Romeo and Juliet, Twilight is a must-see.
