New Moon

Yes, like every other teenager in the country, I saw this movie this weekend. Despite it being a total chick-flick, I totally enjoyed the movie. Perhaps I'm a sucker for those types of movies, but oh well. There was also quite a bit of action, and I thought it was scripted well. I think I have a valid opinion since I read the book last year as well. However, when one takes a step back and looks at the film, it really reflects society. It seems like everyone today wants someone unreal, like a vampire, Edward, to sweep them off of their feet. However, when that person leaves them for whatever reason, people want someone to be there for them, like Jacob was for Bella. Although Bella is completely bizarre in general for choosing to hang out with werewolves and vampires that are somehow able to function in everyday society, she still represents most people in american society. This leads back to english class last year, which was themed as "American literature reflects american society." Considering the movie broke the record for the number of tickets bought on opening day, I can safely say that it reflects society.
