![]() This scene is not only shockingly well done for a Twilight movie - which I say with love - but it is also a wonderful way to depict Bella’s turmoil and her nightmares in the months without Edward. ![]() ![]() Over the music, Bella narrates letters she has written to Alice to no response. Bella sits, looking out her window, and the camera pans around her as the seasons change and “Possibility” by Lykke L plays. This brings us to one of the most iconic scenes of cinematic history. A devastated Bella collapses on the forest floor, honestly an underreaction to Pattinson breaking up with you. Both of these promises will be broken before the movie’s over don’t worry too much. She promises not to do anything reckless, and he promises she’ll never see him again. When she gets home, they take a walk into the woods.Įdward breaks the news to Bella that he’s skipping town, and she’s not invited. The song continues as Bella doesn’t see Edward at school - he’s in her room, of course. When I started writing this, my roommate asked me if this was the movie “Roslyn” was in. It’s also one of those songs that just sounds like Twilight. And the lyrics are appropriately dramatic and pretentious. I get it I decorated my room the same way. They share perhaps the most awkward-looking kiss of all time, and Bella goes inside to print out pictures of Edward to “Roslyn” by Bon Iver and St. It’s almost reminiscent of the baseball scene from the first movie, but it’s less fun.īella and Edward get back to her house and she continues to beg him to change her. Jasper lunges, Edward leaps - literally leaps - and Carlisle demands Emmet take Jasper out of the room. And Sea Wolf truly never would have anticipated the resonance of this line for a man who’s been pretending to breathe this whole time:īut things take a turn: Bella cuts her finger opening a gift from Carlisle and Esme. Nonetheless, Bella opens her gifts to “The Violet Hour” by Sea Wolf. The party ensues just as soon as Edward has a chance to explain to Bella that the Volturi have one law, and they’ve kind of already broken it by letting her into the family. I think this is technically foreshadowing, but it’s also just Jasper being Jasper. She invites Bella over to her house for a birthday dinner while Jasper stares from down the hall. They walk into the school and are greeted by perhaps the only Cullen with a zest for life, Alice. Jacob then shows up to the school parking lot, because apparently it’s the place to be. She says hi to her friends, but who cares about them? The Cullens pull up, and Edward walks as slowly as a vampire possibly could to the lyrics “deep into the darkness.” In my review of the first movie’s soundtrack, it became clear that you could piece together a synopsis purely based on the lyrics in the soundtrack, and I think we’re on a similar path here for round two. ![]() This chorus gives really apt advice for Bella - if you remember her incident in this school parking lot last year. Wait, okay, you’ve got to look before you go. “ Wait, okay, you’ve got to look before you go / Charlie wakes Bella on her birthday, and we learn it’s her senior year of high school! She drives to school in her trusty truck to the backing of Hurricane Bells’ “Monster,” a nice indie-rock tune with a chorus of: Okay, don’t worry that was all just a dream. This is such a Twilight opening: It’s like one big, convoluted plot hole, and somehow Robert Pattinson is paler than ever. Edward appears - wearing a sport coat? - to wish her a happy birthday. She runs through a bush and finds herself in a meadow, staring at an older version of herself. Bella’s running through the crowd a clock strikes.
