So, I've just been to see Eclipse at the cinema and although I really liked the film I can see why it's had bad reviews. Basically, there is a very overdramatic love story with the constant emotional expression of feelings similar to a cathartic tragedy. I was watching it, solo, and thought about the first flushes of love. I know that my relationship isn't anything similar to those in the Twilight saga, or any teen film out but I know that I love my boyfriend. I constantly question however whether any relationships are even similar to that. Do people, when they have been together for a long time still feel the teenage passion of films such as Twilight etc. or do they just settle into a love that is less passionate, more comfortable and convenient? And if they do, then are films like the Twilight Saga making people expect more? I'm not so impressionable that I can't see past the love story but I know people that are. I know young girls that love the film because of the love story and I just think that it makes impressionable people look for Disney style happy endings that don't really exist.
Apart from all this and my general thoughts on the matter, the characters really are beautiful. Male and female. I like that this is one of the first films out that is so sexually gratifying for women. I enjoyed being a voyeur. I liked perving on the hot men. The use of camera technique and lighting all in all makes all of the characters look fantastic so it's a beautiful film to watch, for me anyway.
