Being a vampire is not easy. sure, you live forever, never grow old nor ugly nor fat. Sure with all that time on your hands you can have money and all the worldly goods you could deisre.But does it buy happiness? Contentment? Grace?
Edward Cullen gets by. In fact for over 80 years he has existed as a vampire in the world of humans, but he doesn't really consider himself fortunate, he just makes the best of the situation. He's done many things in his 100 years of existance, been vegetarian, stalked evil humans and killed them, gone to college numerous times, traveled the world....but he's never found love.
Enter Bella Swan, the new human in Forks, Washington. Edward is smitten in the most vamiric way, he'd love to eat her. He gets over his animal urge and starts a romance with the unlikely girl (who represents all of us).
Why does Edward fit this page? This is a blog about those who are damned but long to be saved. Those who long for grace and redemption, and that is very much the story of Edward Cullen.
How was the movie? Pretty true to the book, limited of budget, weak film quality made me actually think of Supernatural. The ating could have been better since so much exposition was riding on facial expression and body language, and it fell short.
Still, over all, the magic was there and it was fun. I look forward to the sequel and hope the actors have been studying!
