So, about the second movie, New Moon, of the Twilight series.. They are officially gonna film it. Yay! There is one draw back though... Catherine Hardwick, the director of Twilight, isn't going to direct the second one. I feel like this is going to end horribly. This is exactly what happened to Harry Potter. Chris Columbus directed the first two Harry Potter's and then they got a new director and the movies went downhill from there. Basically, they were lucky that the first Harry Potters were so good, otherwise the fall would have been a little bit worse than it had been. But, back to the movie. Hopefully the new director, Chris Weitz, will stick to the traditions that Catherine Hardwick created. I do think, however, that they are going to run into some problems once they start filming. These problems with come from the important factor that they didn't include in the first movie.
In the first movie, something important that they missed was the fact that Edward never said "I love you."!!! How bad is that? That's kind of the most important phrase of the entire movie/book. It's the set up for what happens in New Moon! Neither Bella or Edward said it. At the end of the second book, when Edward is back, he says "How you could believe me? After all the thousand times I've told you I love you, how could you let one word break your faith in me?" How is he suppose to say that now?! He can't. "I love you" was said many times throughout the book and the grand total of the phrase in the movie is a big, fat zero. With the absence of it from the movie, the people who just saw the movie and didn't read the books don't quite have the full knowledge of how in love Edward and Bella are. By the end of Twilight you are suppose to realize that Edward and Bella are planning to be together for as long as they live. You don't quite get this from the movie. Yea, sure, you see that they like each other and care for one another, but you don't see the true love that's there. At the end of the movie they are looked upon as "a couple", but at the end of the book you see that they are "soul mates", not just boyfriend and girlfriend. They definitely could have done a better job developing the relationship between Edward and Bella in the movie.
Well, time to go to bed. Goodnight :)
