Twilight Breaking Dawn – ‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn:’ Does it send the wrong message?
Twilight Breaking Dawn – It was of course never much of a question whether millions of Americans were going to rush out to see “The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn — Part 1″ this weekend, which they did — about 18 million people, to be specific. For comparison’s sake, that’s just slightly behind the number who watched last year’s “American Idol” finale — as studio Summit Entertainment rang up 139.5 million in box office for the latest Kristen Stewart-Robert Pattinson film.The bigger question, though, might be what these millions were left thinking after they left the theater, particularly in the areas of sex, love and childbirth, areas in which the Bill Condon-directed, Melissa Rosenberg-penned script has plenty to say.A quick recap, in the unlikely event there isn’t a Twihard in or around you. In this fourth installment of the vampire film franchise, adapted from about half of Stephenie Meyer’s final book in the Twilight series, Bella Swan (Stewart) and the vampire Edward Cullen (Pattinson) finally consummate their love. Though still a teenager, she marries Edward in a glittery affair while the shape-shifting werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner) hovers nearby. The wedding leads to a surprise honeymoon in Brazil as well as to Bella’s deflowering (not to mention de-feathering; vampire men and pillows are apparently a dangerous combination). Most conspicuously, the wedding-night sex results in Bella becoming pregnant with a kind of human-vampire hybrid, which soon threatens the life of its mother. Told of the danger, Bella doesn’t even consider terminating the pregnancy.
