Guess which character I like?
Not Edward, not Jacob, but Riley.
Yes, you didn't read wrongly, your mind didn't trick you, I like the antagonist Riley Biers, the leader of the newborn vampires who helped Victoria to attack the Cullens.
Cool, right?
Ok maybe you can't really see his face here.
Here's a clearer one:
Ok I know you think I'm freaking weird.
I've always been, you know.
Like in Boy's Over Flowers, I also liked the antagonist Haje instead of one of the four leads.
And in Glee, I actually like Kurt, who is more of a supporting character, than the lead characters.
Anyway, I guess I like him because of his internal struggles in the movie(didn't you realise he always look so troubled?) and his loyalty to Victoria, which persevered even till death.
And of course, partly because he kinda looks nice(hey I'm a girl in puberty you know, it would be weird if I didn't swoon over somebody or the other).
Anyway, I also liked this supporting character called Bree Tanner(her name was not mentioned in the movie, I saw it from the internet).
I think she's super cute and chio, don't you?
She's also the character I sympathize with most as she was forcefully turned into a vampire and forced to fight the Cullens, which makes her a victim.
Sadly,
*spoiler here*
both Riley and Bree were killed in the end.
I was hoping Riley would appear in the next movie again as the villian, or that Bree could be taken in by the Cullens, but no, the Volturi had to kill her, grr!
*spoiler end*
Anyway, thre were a few interesting things I noted in the movie.
I didn't know that vampires were as fragile as glass, but according to the movie, they are(watch the final fight scene).
And, even though I neither like Jacob nor Edward, but I think Jacob is better just cos he has a higher body temperature.
Imagine if there were werewolves like him in real life, I wouldn't feel so cold during rainy days(yes, I'm ultra afraid of cold), I mean provided that there are werewolves which allow me to cuddle up to it.
But I really hated the way Jacob kept forcing Bella to accept him and love him.
If he hadn't done that, I guess there would have been fewer conflicts between Edward and him.
Plus, he would've been more likable if he was the 可怜，爱意被女主角忽略的男主角.
I think I'm thinking more like writers of meaningless 青春偶像剧. Blame it on the TV.XP
Anyway, the Eclipse soundtrack is really nice!
This is my favourite song, "My Love" by Sia:
It's just so beautiful it takes my breath away.
It's really calming and the background music is, exceptional.
And I guess it's quite suitable that they used it at the proposal scene, expressing the love Edward has for Bella and vice versa(however I doubt that Bella loves Edward as much as he loves her).
For piano lovers: I present Jacob's Theme, one my favourite pieces of music from the movie.
It reflects Jacob's inner conflicts, knowing and seeing Bella's love for Edward.
This is the piece of music that totally gives him his substance and soul(Ok I feel bad I'm like saying that TL didn't act well enough and have to rely on this piece of music to up his performnace, but I really feel that this music encompasses the spirit of Jacob).
For people who don't like instrumental music: Don't sleep! This piece of music is really nice!!!
Next is a really cool song. The bad kind of cool.
Ok I think I got the wrong song.
But still, this song sounds really street-smart.
Like it should be played in a scene where a really cool guy in a leather jacket gets off his Harley Davidson motorcycle and swaggers to the pub, and every head turns to look in awe.
You would never expect this song to be played in a scene like this: 'A guy walks on the empty street on a rainy, drab, eerie night. Suddenly, a figure flies out of nowhere and attacks him...'
But that's what the producers did. Major LOL.
However, the overall effect turned out pretty good because of the heavy bass drum beat, plus I think they turned down the sound of the vocals(didn't really hear the vocals during the movie, only the drum beat was most obvious).
A song for all you people out there who prefer lively songs, this is one of the songs for the ending credits- "Eclipse (All Yours)" by Metirc.
It's quite cool and kinda makes you thump to the beat, so enjoy!:)
Oh, and for you all adrenaline junkies out there who think Twilight is boring, I saw a trailer for a new zombie-virus genre movie called "The Crazies".
I won't post the trailer here cos it is seriously "thrilling", where the you-know-whats jump out of nowhere and make you jump in your seats.
However, I heard a really nice song during the trailer, so I braved the trailers and whatsoever scary stuff to find the song and here it is:
I'm not sure if the version in the movie trailer was sung by Gary Jules or Adam Lambert, but I preferred Glambert's cos his sounds more optimistic(which isn't very).
Gary Jules' version seriously sounds extremely pessimistic.
The song is originally by an emo band called Tears for Fears, so no surprise for the emo lyrics and tune.
Although I really like this song, but I feel that this song will seriously affect your mood if you listen to it for a long time, so some advice: don't listen to it too much la. Or listen to optimistic songs after this.
Oh, and this song sounded really eerie on the trailer.
Imagine all that screaming coupled with this almost serene song.
Really eerie.
Enjoy!
