"Slow, joyless, and loaded with unintentionally humorous moments, Breaking Dawn Part 1 may satisfy the Twilight faithful, but it's strictly for fans of the franchise.-Rotten Tomatoes
Movie Info
In The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1, Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson), plus those they love, must deal with the chain of consequences brought on by a marriage, honeymoon, and the tumultuous birth of a child...which brings an unforeseen and shocking development for Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner). -- (C) Summit Entertainment
This is is a blog for viewers who have seen the movie and/or read the books
First off the bat I am going to say I am not a big fan of this book or movie, not because of me being on team Jacob call me one sided thinker but honestly Bella's Character is not one of charm to me, because she toys with both her now husband....Edward Cullen's Heart and her "best" friend Jake's heart, which makes me sort of sick. She toy's with Jacobs heart by using him to make herself feel better while Edward left her and as soon as he comes back throws him away like he was yesterdays trash (This occurred in New Moon). Then after being proposed to two the nights before from Edward she kisses Jacob with Edward only a few feet away. So when she became married in this film I had to force myself to continue reading this book, because my heart reached out to Jake, and when he imprinted on Reneseme oh my goodness it was the end for me but the whole love triangle is not illustrated in this film. I just need to create blogs for each movie and book which if GOD is willing I will do in the future but now I need to focus on... Breaking Dawn Part 1 (The Movie)
I sat down and watched the movie and I took in account what I liked and disliked and made notes of it. I would love to hear your responses to them so feel free to contact me in whichever form of contact you prefer, but here are my likes, dislikes, and some thoughts through about the movie....
-The movie opens with Bella Trying on her wedding shoes, I have to admit I love!!!!! Bella's shoes they seemed like a perfect pick for what Alice with her expensive taste would choose, but it being Bella she decided not to wear them. Here they are....
-There has always been an unique look to the Cullen's and the way they were described the books Rosalie was suppose to be the drop dead gorgeous person but I have to say the best looking person in this movie in my opinion is Alice. I thinks he is has amazing beauty. Even better than Rosalie not because the actress who plays Rosalie isn’t pretty (because she is) its just the way they do her make up ad hair just doesn’t bring out the beauty they described in the book.
-I feel this movie had to do a lot of catching up for the previous movies that failed to explain a lot of stuff that was in the previous books. For example the bond of Edwards, Jasper, and Emmet was touched very lightly in the previous movies. I enjoyed the whole bachelor party scene, it showed the brothers are close, which was a need for the viewers who just watch the movies and skip the books.
Here is the big one for me....Her Dress!!!!! The dress was described in the book to be so magnificent and just jaw dropping beautiful and then they showed that foil looking thing she had on. I believe the dress was more described better in the below picture.
The dress she wore in her dream she had during the movie was WAY BETTER than the one she wore to her actual wedding, but that is just my opinion. Don't get me wrong the dress had some great detail, I just wish they would have went more with to me what the book described.
Here are pictures of her actual dress...
The Back of the Dress
Here is the Front of the Dress...
Here she is in her dress with Edward.....
-I really enjoy the way Robert Pattinson aka Edward looks so refined in THIS movie, his hair cut is perfect not that who busy look they had going on in the other movies...
Edwards new hair cut for Breaking Dawn
Edwards bushy hair in Twilight -The wedding speeches were crazy! loved Emmets, hated Jessica’s because it made her look like she was to jealous to move on from her high school crush that she really had on Edward...wow!
- A plus on the way Hollywood illustrated the scene between Jacob and Bella when he came to see her and when they danced at her wedding. In the book Stephanie made him look like one sort of crazy person like he was going to hurt Bella. In the movie it appears to the viewers just that he loves her and wants the best for her which I repeat is way better than how it is in the book. I do wish they would have brought out a wig to make Jacob look more rugget as it would have shown he was running in wolf form for a long time like in the book, plus I luv the realization of Sam saying it wasn’t their concern anymore if Bella dies. It really shows how they were basically doing everything for Jacob and now that her and Edward are married they just don’t have to be concerned about it anymore.
-Jacob howling in the back ground when Edward and Bella were driving off was a real heart breaker. I have to say this was played well or I should say illustrated it well.
- When they stopped in Brazil I have to say it was beautiful to say the least. I don't remember it being in the book,I havee to refresh on the book again. But I remember they hardly talked the whole way there.
-Their honeymoon house is amazing. Who wouldn't love to just be free and open with their new spouse with open window...Stephanie Meyer chose a great setting for their honeymoon. I forgot who was the designer of making the set look similar to the book but he or she did an amazing job.
-The human moment is Bella took to freshen up before they sealed the marriage was priceless. I think any woman including myself would have gotten out the razor and stuff just as she did. Although maybe jumping in the shower after such a long day would have been an even better idea... I guess that must be signified within her being in a towel, but if she didn’t take a shower that would not only be nasty but I would feel sorry for Edward…..lol
-So after her human moment just like in the book she went out to meet him in the ocean which is what I thought was beautiful.
-While they were having sex it looked like two humans having sex. The pale white skin tone didn’t show on Edwards body. More makeup should have been applied there so viewers could remember that Bella was having sex with a vampire.
-The broken bed was one of the things that I am so happy about them not taking out of the movie, it was priceless.
-So after Bella is feeling great because she finally had sex with Edward he ruins it, just like a man would(Before I go on I just have to mention after a woman's first time...she usually is not in lets say the same mood as Bella and in some cases it takes more than one time for a woman to feel the joy of sex (just putting that out there, but back to what I was saying....) It is just like a man to ruin a woman's perfect moment when she feels good after sex. I understand that Edward did not want to hurt her or for her to be bruised but he didn’t take into consideration that moment was something great for Bella and I have heard from different women about many men doing things like that, not thinking about how great something is for a women because of his insecurities. Many may disagree with me on this but Edward made me upset in the book and on the movie when he seemed like he was depressed after they had sex. Did he know what sort of insecurities that Bella could have gotten from that...lol
- Edward did make it all better when Bella confronted him about it and said it was the best night of his existence!
-Did anyone catch the play on the chess game pieces, just like the cover of the book I really enjoyed how Hollywood threw that in there.
-When Bella put on the black lingerie for Edward and he just laughed I was very upset at that! That is not what happened in the book. In the book He ripped it off of her and said later that he really liked what she had on and he sort of regretted ripping it to shreds. I was looking forward to it in the movie, but that ship sailed…lol
-I was sadden that she had to dream about having sex with her husband while they were on their honeymoon, but it proved not everything is set to be movie perfect while on ones honeymoon.
-Hearing Jacob still think so hard about Bella was devastating I just wanted him to be over her so bad during the time I was reading the book and those thoughts transferred while I was watching the movie as well.
-The movie lacked sex scenes for Edward and Bella in the book they had sex way more than two times and for a three book and movie wait I am sure the viewers, and readers would have liked more sex scenes between the two.
-I think Leah looks awesome in this movie, her bone structure is very eye catching I think the director captured more of her Native features in this movie.
-It was freaking gross watching her eat that chicken she cooked! She didn’t even cook thoroughly not to mention when she threw up she put her hand, hair and head in the toilet! I don’t care if she was the only one to have used the toilet because Edward doesn’t go potty that is just freaking nasty.
-They did a great job when they had showed Edward in shock when he realized that he got Bella pregnant. I still don't get how that happened. Edward does not have blood running through his body because he his not human so how can he produce sperm to have a baby???? Idk
- If I didn’t read the book I would not have known why Rosalie was called for help by Bella, which I will not go into detail about but yeah more detail should have been described there. I don’t think this or the previous movie explained how Roseaile was going to protect that baby because she badly wanted one.
-An awesome job was done on Bella's makeup to make her look sick...she looked zombie like and made me believe that she was really sick.
-I love how Stephanie Meyer actually gave Rosalie more of a role in this book/movie.
-When Bella stood up and Jacob saw her belly he looked at Edward and said. "You did this!"… lol its like duh He is her wife! That moment was priceless!
-Each Cullen has had their turn to shine within in the movies so far and I have to be honest the only one who has yet to steal some actual screen time is Emmet but I am thinking that he will have more of a part within the movie when the second one comes out because he challenges Bella as she will be a newborn.
-I loved the irony when Edward asked Jacob to kill him if Bella were to die and Jacob finally having that open window said that he wouldn't kill him because he would have to deal with what he did to Bella and that the thing that killed her was a baby was Edwards.
-I loved when the Wolfs were talking. They were talking internally it was scary but tight and amazing at the same time. II have no complaints about it! I loved how their voices were jumbled up it gave incite to the viewers and readers on how it sounds when they all read each others thoughts.
-When Jacob turned against his pack he ordered Leah and Seth to shut up and they did at once! Immediate obedience came from the two of them. That just shows how much respect and honor is within that tribe.
-I very much enjoyed when Sam was trying to talk down Jacob into obeying him and then Jacob made him back down was amazing.
-I just felt so sorry for Leah when I hear her story about her love triangle. I just want the next movie book or series or whatever to give Leah some sort of break where Jacob is not with Renesme but with Leah I don't think its fair that Bella got her happy ending in her love triangle but Leah is suffering.
-The book describes that leah and Jacob when they were in watching the house they were mostly in wolf form and how leah hated to eat raw meat. I know having them eat raw meat as wolfs may be out of there for some viewers but I think it would have been a good jester to remind the audience that wolfs and vampires are not just love story fun beings but are scary figures.
-When leah said that her not being a wanted isn’t uncommon for her was beyond heartbreaking.
-Thumbs up again to Stephanie Meyer for putting the blood in a cup that was amazing thinking! It may seem simple to others but I think it was brilliant!
-Bella just constantly hurts everyone around her. I feel so bad for her dad because in this movie she tells him that she is sick and that she is going to a medical center in Switzerland, and what bothers me is in every movie I mean every single one she broke her Fathers heart and that sucks for him.
-That is a terrible name if it was a boy Edward Jacob…..wow hurt to them! They would have always been stuck together forever in this child, as if they are not already tired of this whole love triangle thing.
- I cant believe that Rosalie was about to kill bella for the baby but hey she wanted a baby and of course Bella makes great choices in who and what she puts her confidence into.
-In the book Bella is lyig on the bed naked about to die and panicking and Edward tells him that if he cant take it then to leave and Jacob leaves plus there are some other details too I have to say again bravo to the director because he didnt make Jacob seem like some wimp as sometimes he is described in the books like Edward is stronger but I guess being born in 1901 has some benefits of emotional strength.
-Everyone including my heart broke when Edward was saying come on to Bella when he was trying to revive her.
-When Jacob imprinted on the reneseme I though it was just as bad as in the book but I am not going to even touch on how wrong things are with that whole thing. I get he would be anything she needs but I also think that it is too much if you ask me.
There are other things about the movie that I liked such as Bella's flashbacks as she is transforming, The werewolfs being stronger than the vampires, reneseme being very stunning (I just hope Hollywood actually shows her and Jacob together as adults or teenagers and not stop where the book stops. I cant wait to see the next one.
Until my fingers meet the keyboard again GOD BLESS YOU IN JESUS NAME AS APART OF GODS WILL! and remember people will be people.
