Content  The book Twilight speaks about a pair of hard couple.17-year-old Isabella Swan is a smart and popular girl. Because of her mother's remarriage, she exiles herself to a remote town named Forks. In this town, she meets a mysterious classmate whose name is Edward Cullen. Then she finds that Edward comes from a "vegetarian [,ved ʒ i'tεəriən] 素食的 " vampire family. Bella's sweet scent attracts him and makes him want to drink her blood, but at the same time suppresses his desire because he is deeply in love with her, wanted to protect her. The last part of the movie talks about Edward and his family fighting with the vampires who wanted to kill Bella. Although Bella knows what he is, and how dangerous it will be to be with him, yet she is still uncontrollably in love with him. The two lovers swing between love and danger, living each day with freshness and excitement, like the long gone sunshine, floating down to the city of Twilight.

 what is "Twilight" really about? Puppy lovePuppy love The protagonists fall in love at 17-year-old, which is bright and pure, without any purposes. They have strong desire to get together like the all the people in love. RomanceRomance After experiencing much suffering, the prince and princess finally stay together, and love actually is all around. Forbidden loveForbidden love The love happens between two species, human being and vampire. It ought to have amazing courage to face the world.

 Should a woman fall in love with a man because he desires her so much? Men seem to think so, however, it's not about the woman. Because it's just from the man’s point of view. As a girl, I hold my view that a woman shouldn’t fall in love with a man, in spite of the purpose of his desire.

I was anxious to see the movie when I finished reading the novel, because like so many other people, I felt really interested in Bella and Edward's story. Not only that, but I love the vampires who can never get old. Especially when you kill somebody, you are not a criminal, for he or she can rebirth. After finishing reading the book, I begin to make a comparison from the book and movie. I heard such many friends complaining about "major things" missing in the movie, but honestly, I don’t agree with them. Owing to it is difficult to translate directly to the screen. Overall, I enjoyed “Twilight” for what it is a romance novel and movie. It makes for an interesting, compelling story, and I expect more from the sequels ['si:kwel, -wəl] ( 续集 ), because the potential is certainly there.
