One of my interests is the Twilight series. I was crazy about the books when they first came out and I could not stop putting them down. I know tons of girls have the same feeling as I do but I felt so connected with the text. The way Stephanie Myer explains Bella’s emotions really hit me and made me realize I feel the same way about my boyfriend in the Marine’s. One thing that I didn’t like is I had a vision of the way Bella and Edward were in my head while reading the books, and then when the movies came out the characters did not match up to how they were imagined in my head. Yes of course I am a die-hard Team Jacob fan :) but I still imagined Bella a little differently. Another one of my interests is the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. I am thinking about doing this film for project one but I haven’t made up my mind yet. I like how much the film shows the Caribbean. It demonstrations the culture and how the geography really is. The way people talk in the Caribbean is much different than we do in the United States, and viewers can definitely tell a difference while watching the movie. My thoughts about the first project are neutral. On one end I am excited because it is something I have not done before. Doing the same type of projects tends to get a little dull. This project is something new and I hope I do well. On the other end I am nervous that I won’t pick a topic that is suitable for this assessment. I’m sure I will choose a movie that does work, but I am a little worried about it. I will just take it one day at a time and not stress too much about it. I am without doubt a movie person so I do know that I will choose that route.

I love the twilight movies but have never read the books. I've always wanted to just never got started. And I think Pirates of the Caribbean will be a good movie to do for the project because it has so much behind it, it'll work for everthing.
ReplyDeleteI'm just curious, but how did you imagine Bella? Some literary critics have pointed out that the reason why so many girls love twilight is because Meyer gives very little description as to what Bella actually looks like and so girls can easily insert themselves as Bella in the text, thus enjoying being the love interest of both Edward and Jacob. What do you think of this concept?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I've been watching Vampire Diaries lately on my instant Netflix and I find that the actor who plays Stefan (Paul Wesley) would have made a better Edward than Robert Pattinson. What do you think? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0913587/
Also, I would love to see either text for your project!
