The well-publicized ‘Twilight’ saga is finally at an end with ‘Breaking Dawn Part 2′. The previous movie had left the audience hanging with Bella dying in childbirth and Edward desperately trying to change her into a vampire. Jacob, who had hated the baby Renesmee, imprinted on her, which indicates that they will be future mates. The final seconds of ‘Part 1′ showed the newly-turned vampire Bella opening her eyes for the first time as an immortal, which is the exact scene that ‘Part 2′ began with. While the beginning was very slow and slightly cheesy, the movie quickly picked up momentum as the movie progressed. The acting was well-done and showed a different side of the Cullen family with the addition of Bella and Edward’s daughter Renesmee. The addition of the half-human half-vampire child added dimension to the final movie that was perhaps lacking in its predecessors. The audience was also able to better connect to the storyline since it revolved around a child being in danger and what family will do to protect that child.

Renesmee was in danger from the Volturi because they thought she was an immortal child who must be killed in order to protect the vampire race from exposure, so the Cullens did everything they could to convince other vampires that she was not an immortal child. Because of this added twist, the movie showed more of a broad spectrum of the vampire nation with the Cullens recruiting witnesses to their cause. Vampires were shown from the Amazon and Ireland, in addition to vampires that were thousands of years old. This new blend of characters added a freshness to the plot that had previously revolved around how much Bella wanted to be with Edward as a vampire.

The new vampire additions and Renesmee make the movie worth seeing because they bring humor and powerful emotions into the forefront. The new vampires were very old and had endured immense hardships, but were still humane in their quest to do what they thought was right. Perhaps because of their hardships, the vampires are able to look at life in a humorous and easy sort of way, which contrasted brilliantly with the Cullens intensity in life. Perhaps the funniest aspect of the addition of Renesmee was the fact that Jacob had to explain to Bella that he had imprinted on her newborn daughter. Bella used her new super strength to her advantage and literally threw Jacob around in her anger. Jacob’s relationship with Renesmee was that of a protector and pseud-older brother, not one of a future mate, which was good to see.

Bella’s character also undergoes a huge transformation since she has become a mother, which is a great asset for the movie. She is no longer the wimpy human who could not fight and lets Edward control every situation; instead, she is one of the strongest characters in the movie and was not afraid to be aggressive towards Edward either. She had always been the ‘Twilight’ movies’ weakness. Surprisingly, Edward seems very proud of Bella’s new strength, which sends the positive message that it is acceptable to be a stronger woman in a relationship. Edward’s relationship with Jacob also dramatically changes in this conclusion, since they are no longer competitors for Bella’s affections; instead, Jacob wants to protect and be with Edward’s daughter.

The new additions of Renesmee, the other vampire characters, and the development of Bella as a vampire made the movie extremely hilarious and unpredictable, which I did not think was possible in a ‘Twilight’ movie. Not only that, but it also showcased the actual book more, especially within the last ten minutes. While the movie remained slightly cheesy at times, it was overall a satisfying conclusion to the Twilight saga.

That time of year is here again when a new installment of the Twilight Saga is on its way to theatres. This time we are gearing up for Breaking Dawn Part 1. With all the excitement and hype about the movie we are really being dialed into the long awaited Cullen wedding between two of the main characters, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).

This wedding has been the talk of news outlets and media for months now — including what the dress is going to look like, and what kind of action we are going to see in the days leading up to the joyous occasion. The wedding has been very secretive from the very beginning.

While filming the crew even went so far as to, as Kristen puts in an interview with ClevverTv “tackle” her after they called cut in every take with a giant covering so that the dress was kept a secret until the premiere.

The wedding itself is filled with a lush arrangement of flowers and beautiful lighting as we see in the newly released trailers, and all of the supporting actors and actresses surrounding the happy couple such as Bella’s parents (Billy Burke and Sarah Clarke). The wedding is the opening of the film and has been long anticipated by the fans from the very beginning of the saga a few years ago as the real turning point of the series.

In previous films Edward’s stipulations for turning Bella was marriage, and now that she has given in to his request, the audience is on the edge of their seats wondering what is going to happen next. Now, if you’ve read the books you already know, but it’s hard to say what will actually happen in the films.

After the wedding we do know, however, that there is going to be a sexy, love-filled honeymoon, with a bit of a twist. Bella becomes pregnant. The hardest scene, Stewart says, was the birthing scene. She loved it, but things got a bit strange at some point or another. She states: “I really took to it.

My favorite thing to play in this was that feral sort of mother,” she explained. “None of it was really as strange as you think it would be. I guess it got strange when things were incredibly unreal, like when we had a fake baby. The real babies were amazing to work with, but suddenly you pick up this goopy, hairy doll, and it just doesn’t really work.”

Pattinson agreed with the strangeness of the scene and adds his not so pleasant experience: “I mean, it’s a little bit difficult to get more surreal than chewing through a placenta.”

The director and cast have given us plenty to look forward to as well after confessing that there was a real transformation in the characters in the film. In an interview, Actor Taylor Lautner explains his feeling about whether or not he looked forward to finally being finished with the filming of the series.

He says: “It’s more so no, I’m not excited to be done. We have a lot fun making these movies together. We all get along great, and we’re like a family by this point, so it’s tough,” he explained. “But yes at the same time, because we get to go off and do other things as actors, and this has been an incredible platform for us.”

This was reflected in all of the actors and actresses on board since the completion of Part 2 that is not due to come to theatres for some time yet. Now that they are all free from twilight they can go on to new projects. Who knows, maybe they will be part of the next phenomenon in film.
