Last night was
the first time I got to watch Breaking Dawn. I literally could not stop
moving in my seat the whole two and half hours I sat there waiting. When
the movie started I felt like I was having a slight panic attack. It
was finally on the big screen and I was finally watching it.
I thought it
started off fantastic. Taylor actually made me feel bad for Jacob when
he received the wedding invitation. This poor guy I thought.
Flipping to Bella
and Edward talking about their big day. Edward looking at her and
saying I haven’t told you everything about myself was such a "human"
thing to say. And Holy flashback, that’s when the tears started coming. I
love that Robert thought of the idea to put that in the movie, and Bill
did it. It was such an important part I think even if it wasn’t a big
detail in the books.
Jasper
and Emmett made me laugh out loud, creeping in the window dragging
their brother out for his bachelor party. Just a few mountain lions .
When Bella went to sleep I love that they put her dream into the movie.
What a fun part that must of been to film. They took the book and ran
with the dream and I loved what they did with it.
The wedding
actually made my heart stop. Bella looked absolutely stunning. Her dress
was even better than I imagined and Edward looked so handsome. What I
love about Edward and Bella is I don't feel like in the wedding scenes
or love scenes they were acting I felt like they were Kristen and Rob. I
feel like they are so in love and it show's even across the big screen.
I love that they left the part of Jacob grabbing her in the movie. I do
wish they would have showed her looking in the mirror for the first
time with her hair and makeup done in her dress. I would have loved to see her reaction.
I have a few
favorite parts from the wedding; two of them are from good ol' Chief
Swan. When he looked at Bella and said "I know, I look hot" I lost it.
It was nice to see him joke around he's usually so serious. However when
he looked at her and told her that she would always have a home my
laughter became tears. What a sweet moment. She knew this was it, she
knew that she would never be able to have the same relationship with
him. It was such a bittersweet moment that completely melted my heart.
No wedding will be able to top that one.
The Honeymoon
scene was so romantic. Bella little innocent Bella was such a little
"horndog" she could not get enough of Edward but hey, who can blame her.
I feel like they could have done a few things different in the
honeymoon scenes that where in the book but none the less it was
amazing. I was the one pushing for an R Rater version so I am happy with
what we got for PG 13. Seeing Bella wake up with a WTF look on her
face the night after made me chuckle. She had no idea why she was
covered in feathers. I love that they showed him breaking the head bored
and the look on his face. Bella reassured him everything would be okay
even when he wanted to stop. He didn't want to hurt her.
And let's not even begin to talk about Edward speaking Portuguese. I would kill to have had a honeymoon like that.
Jacob grows up so
much in this movie. I was not a fan of his before this movie but
Breaking Dawn changed my mind. He literally turns his back to save her
life. What an amazing and unselfish person. When he and Edward went
outside to talk it broke my heart. Edward looked like the burning man
they described in the book. I wanted to hug him.
I feel like they
made Edward a little meaner than he was in the book but I also
understood why he was so upset. He was going to lose the one person in
the world that he could not live without. I would feel the same
way. However as a mother I would fight and "hold on as long" as I
could for my baby. I think any mother would. Kristen did an amazing job
playing the pregnant sick Bella. She is an amazing actress and it
really showed.
The birth had me
on the edge of my seat and in tears. This is what I had been waiting for
the whole movie. I remember asking myself repeatedly how in the world
are they going to make this birth scene PG 13? It exceeded all my
expectations. My stomach turned as I watched her reach for the cup and
all hell broke loose. As her body went limp I though oh my god, she’s
going to die. I knew she wasn't but it looked like there was no way out
for her. What an absolute epic scene. Everything went so fast. This
birth was going to be the death of her. For this scene to be PG13 I
would have been scared to see it be Rated R. Seeing Rosalie charge after
her, hearing Edward scream no, and Jacob push her out if the way. Whoa!
This was the best
scene in the movie for me. I loved it. Seeing her be born, seeing
Edward hand their baby to Bella. The baby that he once wanted nothing at
all to do with. How sweet is this moment, and then hell breaks loose
again.
The imprinting scene
really surprised me. I love the way it turned out. It was so beautiful
in a weird way. Jacob’s world completely stopped and his is forever tied
to her. And what an gorgeous little girl Mackenzie Foy is. She is going to be so good in BD 2. Can't wait to see her and Jacob's relationship progress.
Watching
Bella go through the transformation was great. Seeing all the memories
flicker, seeing her get stronger. Wow she really is going to be a
stunning vampire. Zooming in on her eyes and watching them open to Red
made me gasp out loud. What an amazing way to end the first movie. I
cannot wait for BD 2!
Bill Condon is a
genius, and he knows exactly what he’s doing. As a fan I can't imagine
the movie being any better than that (well maybe the honeymoon scenes :)
