After work last night i finally decided to do something that i been thinking about for some time. I rented Twilight out of curiosity because i've been more women madly enjoy with the book than any lustful novel.
I want to make it clear these are just my comment and i hopefully won't offend anyone by them.
Most of th girls i've seen wearing their Edward shirts or huddled in Barnes and Nobles reading the Twilight series are your average girl. Perhaps they feel a little socially awkward or emotional unsure of who they are as women. Honestly i can see why they love this book and movie. Bella, the female character is all those things as a teenager that falls head over heels in love with a guy. I think the casting directors knew what they were looking for when they picked both leads. They wanted a guy who was attractive and could be dark and mysterious even if he couldn't act. They wanted a girl who could be an average girl that could blend in the crowd. Bella isn't Megan Fox and perhaps will not blossom into her but then again they didn't make the movie for guys, it's for girls. I can see the draw for most girls, the love plot is rich with feelings and emotions. My romantic side can see that and is searching for that same raw emotion. I jokingly tell the girls at work when i'm being mean that girls like it. The women i know have this curious itch that makes them want to know what makes a guy tick. Why he is mean all the time? Why is he shy? I wonder why he's a bad boy? The same excitement about finding out the unknown is here in this movie. The bad part is that it's just an average movie. Vampires scaling tree tops like they running on their tip toes doesn't visually stimulate me. The actions scenes weren't that impressive and the best scene in the whole movie was shown in the trailer. Yet i watched it and survived a chick flick.
