Twilight


2009
05.25

I was very curious when I saw a listing on our apartment for Twilight movie showing and just knew I have to watch it. Everyone talk about it so much and I wanted to know if it was just over rated.. It was not!

The movie was something of a modern time love story of vampire and human and I find myself  so pulled in by the story. After watching it, I knew I just need to read the book! I walk 30mins to the nearest bookstore near my area for English story book and there was no book 1! =( I got book 2 instead but to stop myself from reading the book 2, I re-read Sophie Kindell “Can you keep a secret?” book instead.

Why not continue where the movie left off? Well, I know there are still scenes or changes in the plot when it comes to movies. After all, squeezing a book into 2.5 hr movie is not easy.

I travel all the way to Taipei City hall to eslite to get the book but only hardbound was available and the last! Gosh, I have no choice, I got it even if it cost a fortune! But guess what, I found out this morning on Eslite website that there is paperback stock! And the sales lady told me still need to order from US! The hardbound cost me NTD800 and the paperback only cost NTD300+ Felt I’ve been scam =(

Compare the movie and the book, some things are different like scenes but the most important part are still there which is very important. The writer and direction of Twilight movie did a prety good job… I was afraid I was not going to like it because Im so used to Buffy and Angel and was afraid that it would make me not like vampires.. But I love them!

Robert who plays Edward actually looks better in the movie.. Sorry Robert.. I saw his photos and they were just so so to me.. but when I watch the movie, his power and how he projected himself, I was rolled over! No wonder girls love him so much! His the man! I would love to see more of Edward but not Robert =p hehehe…

Im almost finish reading the book 1 after cramming all night until 2am before hitting the sack.. just cant put it down! I hope I get started on book 2 tonight and need to grab book 3& 4… I feel im going to finish the book during my trip.. cant wait….

I think im in love with Edward and Belle! hehhee

Question is… who is that girl on the end of the movie? If she was Victoria, how come her mole is missing? On the baseball field, her mole was visible, but there on the last part, it’s gone! I thought that was Edward’s sister…. Am I wrong?
