I have to recover a bit 'all the posts that I have not written in the past ... we say ... fifteen months (thank heaven for a date to be obsessive about anything), so let's get mad at giUoia.
We assume that I survived to read quest'emerita shit just because I was returning from an examination of Modern and Contemporary English Literature, which forced me to read more heavy, twisted and sadistic exists ( James Joyce's Ulysses ) (but I got one of only two 30 and praise of the examination session, ohohoh), and then I had no intention read something I say as twisted and sadistic, but at least not so heavy. I had promised myself to read them sooner or later (which I did), whereas I have also seen the film and parody (a much better success of the "original") to the cinema, but more to "know the enemy" and see where the author wanted to end up in a pure passion bimbominkiosa.
But let's degrees.
analysis Twilight I have already made at the time, and the reading did nothing but confirm what I already said / written, although I do a mea culpa: Esme's hair is brown, it's me that I have mistakenly imagined platinum blonde.
New Moon
My being a woman tantinello largest of the protagonist (who is 18 years old here) compels me to ask me questions. The abandonment depression is all there, and so far I can not blame her considering that I can (almost) tell me in the same situation, the fact remains that I still can not understand how the devil has managed to restrain himself.
short, you are presented before the eyes of a beefy lady, much more "flesh" of the thing cold and skimpy with whom you were first (100 points in favor of Jacob) who claims to love you (well, I literally slamming in your face) and you can not help but think of the cold and skimpy thing above that you have abandoned one of the most atrocious psychological suffering (in her case perhaps even physical)?
But let yourself go a bit ', sister! Look into the future and think trumpet .. ehm .. to be happy.
Not to mention the terrible joke of the film, and if I think I am still laughing.
Scene: Bella goes to the Indian reservation, stark mad because her boyfriend's heart does not see nor hear for some time, and found it there in front of her, bare-chested, with sculpted abs, biceps and a pair of Herculean ass we would envy Michelangelo's David and the first thing he says what? "Did you cut your hair?"
YOU CUT YOUR HAIR?? At least I would have said "Shit!"
For the rest, in rebates, as well as the writing style (as far as the book) and use of slow motion (the movie) worthy of an Oscar (though the scene changes were really nice .. ..)
Eclipse
Both films book levels of endurance almost to historical lows. In particular the character of Edward. Simply stated: it is a ridiculous pain in the ass!
I understand the jealousy and I can even turn a blind eye sull'iperprotettività (Saving Silverman is still a vampire who wants to kill), but here it borders on stalking! And do not you leave home, and accompany and go get all over the world, and spy on the thoughts of Jacob to understand what the hell is this combination ... not to mention the psychological torture. So, to make his only desire is coerced to marry? This involves the feeling of guilt when Bella finds out Jacob (thanks to a clever trick of the evil vampire) that would married Edward: our heroine did not take it with her future husband (which I think everyone is a minimum of sound mind would do), but with itself because it "is continuing to hurt his best friend." But you stupid, by dint of frequent supernatural beings? E 'was your dear Edward concocting that dirty trick, angry with him, strike him, threatening to commit suicide (which he equates to his death), is' anything against him! But no ... Result? Jacob is worse off than before. Happy?
point: in the flashback in Rosalie, her dramatic entrance in wedding dress in the house of the boyfriend who raped her and the story of Alice and Jasper. If the saga had focused on two of them from the beginning, so maybe it would not suck.
Point horrible (the movie): the non-existent conflict. I'm not saying the book is described by the thread and sign the epic battle vampires vs. werewolves +. other vampires in the film but at least I was hoping to see some severed head and a little 'more than the vivacity of the book. But nada.
Add to this, even the engagement ring from Edward to Bella.
He says he inherited from his mother (who died like 90 years before), and therefore had to be in late-nineteenth-century style: a beautiful, multi sbrilluccicoso diamantone with Kitcher. Instead, we are faced with a masterpiece of bijoutteria with 3000 rhinestones set into a huge thing that takes over half finger. Leaving aside the actual ugliness of this accessory, a thing like that is really impossible that existed in the late nineteenth century / early twentieth century. In short, they were much more "plausible" my grandmother's rings, jewels and we are still talking about the era of fascism ...
Breaking Dawn
The only word I said when I was finished: ommioddio!
There is nothing, I repeat nothing you can save in that book.
A woman who is impregnated by a dead werewolf that has the imprint (a sort of love at first sight) with the daughter of two actors, the name of that daughter (Renesmee Carlie, born from the merger of the names of grandparents Renee, Esme, Carlisle and Charlie, who is rightly abbreviated Nessie - in my opinion better than the real name, more so because it is the name of the monster Lockness), but especially the epic battle against the Italian vampires.
From that Bella becomes a vampire (and do not accuse me of spoilers, because you know all too well that it becomes, even if you have not read the book), the whole story centers on the battle will take place shortly thereafter against such infamous Volturi, and drag the player will leave the heat of the moment: the training, psychological preparation, techniques to be adopted, negotiations with the Allies ... and yet nothing. Nothing at all. It all ends with a nice little speech made by a Brazilian vampire, and they all lived happily ever after. But what is disgusting?
It 's like nell'inesistente battle of Eclipse. What would induce me to think that Meyer does not know any way how to describe the battles, which is why he completely avoided writing.
General:
The first book can be saved. The story is better developed and the characters are a bit 'thick more. He feels that it is more "experienced" by the writer. The other three books were arronzati great, though they are physically much more "doubles" as the first. Obviously, taken from the heat of success, the writer has placed many things came to mind and gave it to the press. 4 books in 5 years. It seems to me a little time 'miserable. Not to mention that in the meantime has also had to preside over the shooting of the film and selections of the cast (as well as make an appearance in the first film).
Often, the Twilight Saga is compared to Harry Potter as a phenomenon / young fashion of the moment ", and I say that Harry Potter is ten thousand times better than Twilight for reasons too trivial, but for me (to be diligent reader as they are) are worth a lot.
First: To write the entire Harry Potter series (7 books), JK Rowling gave us a little more than 10 years, Meyer to write four books we scored less than 5, for a ratio of 1.42 to 0.8 books a year.
According to Harry, Ron and Hermione have evolved psychological absurdity, and go all the whims of mental Teenagers, ergo, they mature. Bella Swan from page to page seems to regress as a teenager with stupid mongoloid child, besides the fact that he seems to have blinders on (here Edward, Edward there ...). The only character who seems to have a minimum thickness is Jacob Black, but because it can prove (to himself as the other players and characters) to be in love and not suffer for this love, his condition worsened werewolf against the vampire.
Third, Meyer can not write, what I have already pointed out earlier in the non-description of the battles. In Harry Potter, all the fights, the last book in particular, are very detailed, so as well as a description of the death of Sirius Black (homonymy, ohccacchio!): as long as it does not say that Lupin is dead, as well as Harry the reader can not understand.
Added to this is a detail. In Breaking Dawn, at one point the narrator is Jacob rather than Bella. Hence one should expect a minimum of change in narrative style by Meyer, but is not there. Can be intuited only from the fact that Jacob is stark mad, that Edward Law in his thoughts and that there is a page that says in no uncertain terms "Warning: now the narrator is Jacob." But for the rest? All the same. It almost seems that Jacob is a male version of Bella, just a little 'more violent. Moreover, the style generally worse from book to book: arronzato more and more obvious. Rowling, however, over time, he writes better and better. I only say that when I finished reading Deathly Hallows I cried a lot, what had happened to me just for Big Fish, and one that does take a lot from the plot of a book / movie.
Quarter: (I translate an image found on Facebook in this regard) JK Rowling has made love to read to children and taught them to believe in loyalty, love and inner strength. Stephenie Meyer has to believe that girls should act as stupid as a man to save them.
Fifth (and I think that is the most valuable among all those listed): sbrilluccicanti vampires?? But we're kidding??
Though he admits to not wait to go see the other two films (because Breaking Dawn, as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, will be divided in two parts), which of course will happen when The movie ticket cost € 3, but just because when I saw the Eclipse I do not think I've ever had so much fun at the cinema in my life (especially for the undoubted powers of expression of Kristen Stewart / Bella Swan), I must say that this saga is The most obscene thing that has ever been conceived by the human mind.
If you want my advice, watch videos Willwoosh, which are much more comprehensive in the saga in itself.
