TWILIGHT! THE FILM!19:56 Dec 19 2008
Times Read: 548
Today at precisely three-twenty pm, the adverts started in Screen Six of Feltham Cinworld Cinema. It was showing the second screening of the film Twilight.
I was hyperventilating, slowly twisting towards hysteria, sitting in my seat- dead centre and nothing in front of me except a big, rectangular screen.
The film was pretty good- but, being a fanatic Twilighter, I had sat up Thursday night to read from Chapter 10 - Chapter 24 (the last chapter and epilogue) of the book. This meant that every single deliberate difference or mistake appearing, I noted down mentally with a soft hiss underneath my breath.
For example;
1. The most annoying one was that Bella hadn't found out about Edwards' being a vampire when he took her to dinner (after she had nearly died for the first time). She found out after James, Victoria & Laurent (identities not yet revealed) had killed some guy on his boat, and Bella bought a book on Quileute legends. Coming across articles and myths about the "cold ones", she found a website on Google (which is nearly right; in Twilight, Bella researches vampires on Google after Jacob tells her the Cullens are rumoured to be ones- another thing the film didn't incude, as Jacob didn't elaborate on his "cold ones" stories) which matched all of the things Edward Cullen seemed to have. It was all wrong.
2. Chapter 13- Confessions. This appeared just after Bella found out about Edwards' being a vampire, which is wrong. She finds out he is a vampire in Chapters 6-8, when she does her little research and goes out to Port Angeles. I HATED IT! It was all higgledey-piggeldey, and they weren't in a meadow! They were on the top of a mountain!
3. Rosalie Hale wasn't just a biachi. She wasn't just The Biachi. She was a fully fledged pschyco!
Anyhoo; there was a line in the scene which shadows Chapter 17- The Game. It is said by Alice, when Bella is told by Edward to pull down her hair, try to disguise and block her scent. The line is, "That won't help- I could smell her from across the field!" and is said worriedly, anxiously, by Alice Cullen. Instead, Rosalie smirks it with evil glares at Bella.
About that scene- they're all supposed to be really spaced out and all, but they're packed in tight! It's ....... wierd!
When James smells Bella and tells Edward he brought a snack, all the vampires crowd around the trio whilst protecting Bella. Whilst this was happening, they all have their mouths ripping out guttaral snarls that should have us cowering against our seats in terror- but none of them make a very loud sound! Err... Sound FX dudes? Where are you?
Overall, those are the three most annoying mistakes I noticed. And I noticed every single mistake, believe me. It had some really funny bits, though, like when Bella was walking down the drive and she slipped on ice, landing on the floor xD Ooh, and when Edward took her to meet his family and Alice was embarrassing him- big time.
Overall, I would have enjoyed the film more if I hadn't read the book, but I would have been really, really scared. Two people died and there was a load of random jumping about in it! Oh-and if I wasn't mentally noting every single mistake.
Sighs...
I will see y'all soon- when I can be bothered to write, or when I have the time. Atm, I'm going to go and start my music homework...set three weeks ago.
