But no one in front of or behind the camera is able to sell a lick of the supposed urgency of these ejaculatory pop milestones, primarily because this movie isn’t important, but rather one more piece of the shittiest mega-popular media brand ever. Intended as the cinematic equivalent of an orgasm, this tirelessly hyped insta-blockbuster is loaded with OMG developments (marriage! Sex! Baby!) and seemingly regarded by everyone to include the most epic and gratifying scenes of romantic release in modern movie history. But even for those hailing from the latter, Breaking Dawn offers precious few returns, and it continually punishes all who curb their cynicism for even a split second. The second consists of those who’ve embraced the notion that this is all just the frivolous, vicarious fantasy of a sexually repressed, egocentric author, and should be casually digested as such, with the same abandon with which one catches an episode of The Real Housewives. The first includes the book series’s fans (or “Twi-Hards,” if I must), who’ve already sold their souls and would gladly follow Bella Swan and her devil/angel man candy into the grimiest bowels of hell. Jacob responds by being angry.There are two parties equipped to enjoy, or even tolerate, the Twilight movies, specifically The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, the hopelessly god-awful penultimate installment of the five-film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s heavy-and-dumb-as-a-brick quadrilogy. Bella shows her pleasure at Jacob’s appearance by looking fetchingly stricken - she still loves him, naturally, just not in that way. Jacob the werewolf (Taylor Lautner, shirtless within 15 seconds of his first appearance) shows up at the wedding, never missing an opportunity to be really, really angry.
BREAKING DAWN PART 1 MOVIESHARE HOW TO
But since Bella doesn’t know how to speak to her beloved - you know, with words - the two just gaze into each other’s eyes in the shared romantic agony of a young couple in over their heads. (Could she could be panicking because she’s ridiculously young to be getting married to a vampire instead of, oh, furthering her education or pursuing a career or finding out what she really wants out of life? Nah, that’s just the liberal-elite feminist in me talking.) Edward (Robert Pattinson), Bella’s fancy-haired, blood-sucking groom, is solicitous. She has incapacitating, panic-attack-sized wedding jitters. She hates the foot-squishing, wobble-inducing high-heeled pumps urged on her by her stylish vampire sister-in-law-to-be Alice (Ashley Greene) - Alice is the designated wedding planner - but Bella doesn’t even know how to put her foot down to demand an alternative. Nothing goes right for our resigned heroine. Also, during pregnancy, families fight like werewolves and vampires. What we learn in this all-pain/no-pleasure episode is that marriage feels like a life sentence, weddings are miserable events, honeymoon sex is dangerous and leaves a bride covered in bruises, and pregnancy is a torment that leads to death in exchange for birth.
And a pox on Breaking Dawn, the movie, for its contented complicity with Stephenie Meyer’s ultimately awful message to millions of readers. Enough with Bella’s depressed, ragdoll posture and her eternal gloom. But in Breaking Dawn - Part 1, this perpetually sad/sullen/wincing young woman - played as if every scene gives her cramps by the otherwise interesting Kristen Stewart - is a big drip. Bella Swan has had the benefit of my doubt for the previous three installments of The Twilight Saga.
