Robert Pattinson On The Costumes
One of the things that make Twilight so special is its costumes. They’re not only memorable but they also serve a purpose in the story. On the first Halloween, for example, Bella wears a costume that reflects her transformation from human to vampire. She dons a white dress with red accents and a red and black hood, which accentuates her pale skin when she becomes a vampire. It’s a haunting look that adds to her mystery.
In true Edward Cullen fashion, he too sports a costume change. During the hunting scene, he dons a camouflage outfit and masks that not only enhance his looks but they also help him blend into the environment and become one with nature. The list of costume changes alone is worth the price of admission, and it’s not even close to being finished yet. There are so many iconic moments in Twilight where the costumes are both memorable and integral to the story. They made us fall in love with Bella and Edward all over again.
Robert Pattinson On The Sound Effects
When it comes to sound effects, you’d think that a movie based on a book would be pretty basic. After all, who hasn’t read the books and seen the movie? But, the sound effects in Twilight are memorable and integral to the story, too. They’re used to convey the mood and tone of each scene, whether it’s menacing, scary, or romantic. The best part about this is how they were all made by one man: Michael Stein. He used his own recording studio and did all of the work himself. So, if you listen closely, you’ll be able to tell each sound effect apart and place them in their proper context. It’s pretty incredible what he was able to accomplish and it’s a testament to his talent.
Robert Pattinson On The Makeup
The makeup for Twilight is phenomenal. To start with, the wolf pack are extremely well-groomed creatures who sport very sleek and tidy coats. That’s something you don’t see everyday. Then, there’s the special makeups for the Cullens. The first time we see them, their eyes are still human. So, to make them look like vampires, the makeup artists did an amazing job of incorporating prosthetics and appliances into their natural looks. It’s a true testament to their skills as artists.
As stunning as they are, these two aspects alone may make Twilight worthwhile. That’s not even taking into consideration the special effects or the soundtrack. All of these elements work together to create one of the most iconic movie experiences out there. So, if you’ve never seen it, then you have no idea what we’re talking about. Otherwise, you know exactly what we’re talking about and it’s time to get excited. It’s finally here. It’s worth the wait.
Robert Pattinson On The Writing
While we’re on the subject of writing, it’s important to note that Stephenie Meyer did not write the screenplay for Twilight. She merely adapted it from her own novels. But, regardless, the writing in the film is phenomenal. It’s easy to see why it was nominated for several awards, including the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. It’s definitely not your typical Hollywood fare, but nonetheless amazing all the same. Anyone who’s ever read the Twilight saga will recognize all the references to the source material and will have no trouble seeing the film as a faithful adaptation. The writing is witty, concise, and to-the-point, which is exactly what you need in an action-packed thriller like this one. It’s impressive to see how much thought went into every aspect of this film and how integral all of it is to the story. It’s also worth noting that while the screenplay was nominated for several awards, the original novel’s was not. Maybe it’s time for Hollywood to give some credit where credit is due?
Robert Pattinson On The Film
Finally, we come to the bit that we’ve all been waiting for. The part where we get to rant and rave about our favorite film. First off, let’s get some things straight. We all love Twilight. It’s impossible to not love the story of Bella and Edward. It’s one of the most beautiful sagas to ever emerge from Hollywood. But, that doesn’t mean that it’s perfect and there are numerous problems that it has, which we will get to. As a result of that, we think that Twilight could be one of the most influential films of all time. It will forever change the way people look at vampires and werewolves and it doesn’t hurt that it was also one of the first blockbuster hits for Summit Entertainment. But, even if you love the film, it’s important to remember that it’s meant to be seen from an outsider’s perspective. That’s what makes it so brilliant. You approach it with fresh eyes and you can clearly see all the problems with it.
There are numerous things that we love about the film. First off, the costumes are incredible. They’re not only integral to the story but they can also be worn by men and women alike and it’s something that you don’t see everyday. Then, there’s the sets. They truly look like the rustic Canadian countryside and it’s something that you don’t normally see in modern films. Finally, there’s the soundtrack. It truly is phenomenal and it uses many different genres and artists to ensure that it’s something for everyone. Overall, we think that you may just find something to love about Twilight and it’s definitely worth watching, especially if you’re a fan of the source material. It’s not only faithful to the books but it also adds new and interesting dimensions to them. That’s no easy task, given how much there is to cover in those 272 pages. So, if you’ve never read the Twilight books or seen the movie, then it may be worth seeking them out. Just remember: They’re not for the faint of heart and are definitely not for children. Even if you love Twilight and have seen the film several times, it’s still worthwhile to read the books. They add a lot to what you know about the series and about Edward and Bella themselves. And for those of you who have managed to stay spoiler-free up until this point, we’ll be keeping our mouths shut from here on out. So, if you want to know more about the film and its characters, then keep reading. But, if you hate spoilers and want to remain unspoiled, then maybe seek out some other sources or turn off your screen entirely. It’s your call.
Overall Thoughts
It’s fair to say that we’re huge fans of Twilight. We love everything about it, from the costumes, to the sound effects, and of course, the music. But, like with any other movie, there are some things that we really dislike. So, without further ado, here’s our list.
Over-Emphasis On Vampires
Let’s get the bad out of the way first. Yes, there are vampires in Twilight, but the entire film is largely focused on them. They are the central conflict that shapes the narrative and dictate the mood of each scene. And for that matter, the entire story. Vampires are a very integral part of the Twilight universe, but without any other mythical creature to balance it out, it becomes rather one-sided. In the end, it doesn’t really matter if you’re a fan of vampires or werewolves. You’ll just feel that the film is over-emphasizing one type of creature over the other.
