Twilight

When You Can Live Forever, What Do You Live For?
Aya Kordy

The phenomenal book Twilight has been made into a miraculous movie that has smashed the American box office last December. The movie amazed everyone when it gained an amount of $70 million, only in its opening weekend in America two months ago. The movie is adapted from the first of a four part series by Stephanie Meyer. Twilight tells the story of a 17 year-old girl called Bella Swan who has always been a little bit different from everyone. She was never the one to go with the crowd and never cared about fitting in with the trendy and elite. After choosing to live with her father in the town of Forks, since her mother remarried, Bella did not expect anything to change. However, she then learns that life is far from predictable when she meets the mysterious yet dazzling Edward Cullen.

Edward is like no other boy she ever met, period. He is intelligent, gifted and as Bella comprehends he is “impossibly fast and strong”, faster than a cheetah and has not aged since 1918. Yes indeed, Edward was an immortal vampire; it was then that she learned a dark secret only known by his family of vampires. Nevertheless, unlike most vampires Edward’s family were known for their unique lifestyle choice, given that they did not drink human blood.

After living 90 years on earth and still being barely 18, Bella is the soulmate Edward has been waiting for. In no time, they are both swept up in a zealous and an unquestionable romance. When unexpected vampires come to town and smell the scent of a human being among them, Edward struggles to save Bella. Someway or the other, they try to manage their unmanageable love. But the closer they get, the more he is putting Bella and those around her at risk. An ultimate forbidden love affair, between a vampire and a human, unfolds on the wide screen.

All humans believe in the purpose of life, believe in living to be a part of change in the world; however, when you can live forever, what do you live for?
