《暮光之城》的英文影评
If you’re a vampire, it’s all about you.Why is Edward Cullen obsessed to the point of erotomania by Bella Swan? Because she smells so yummy, but he doesn’t want to kill her.Here’s what he tells her: He must not be around her.He might sink his fangs in just a little, and not be able to stop.She finds this overwhelmingly attractive.She tells him he is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen.I don’t remember Edward ever saying that to her.Maybe once.He keeps on saying they should stay far, far apart, because he craves her so much.Should a woman fall in love with a man because he desires her so much? Men seem to think so.It's not about the woman, it's about the man's desire.We all know there is no such thing as a vampire.Come on now, what is “Twilight” really about? It's about a teenage boy trying to practice abstinence, and how, in the heat of the moment, it's really, really hard.And about a girl who wants to go all the way with him, and doesn't care what might happen.He's so beautiful she would do anything for him.She is the embodiment of the sentiment, “I'd die for you.” She is, like many adolescents, a thanatophile.If there were no vampires in “Twilight,” it would be a thin-blooded teenage romance, about two good-looking kids who want each other so much because they want each other so much.Sometimes that's all it's about, isn't it? They're in love with being in love.In “Twilight,” however, they have a seductive disagreement about whether he should kill her.She's like, I don't especially want to die, but if that's what it takes, count me in.She is touched by his devotion.Think what a sacrifice he is making on her behalf.On Prom Night, on the stage of the not especially private gazebo in the public gardens, he teeters right on the brink of a fang job, and then brings all of her trembling to a dead stand-still.The movie is lush and beautiful, and the actors are well-chosen.You may recall Robert Pattinson(Edward)as Cedric Diggory, who on Voldemort's orders was murdered in a graveyard in “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” Maybe he was already a vampire.Pattinson is not unaware of how handsome he is.When Bella and Edward, still strangers, exchange stern and burning looks in the school cafeteria, he transfixes her with a dark and gloweringstare.I checked Pattinson out on Google Images and found he almost always glowers at the camera 'neath shadowed brow.Kristen Stewart's Bella, on the other hand, is a fresh-faced innocent who is totally undefended against his voltage.Bella has left her mom and stepdad in hot Arizona, clutching a potted cactus, to come live in the clammy, rainy Pacific Northwest, home of Seasonal Affective Disorder.Her dad(Billy Burke)is the chief of police of the very small town of Forks, Washington(pop.3,120).His greatest asset: “He doesn't hover.” At high school, she quickly notices the preternaturally pale Cullen clan, who in some shots seem to be wearing as much Max Factor Pancake White as Harry Langdon.Edward is 114 years old.He must be really tired of taking biology class.Darwin came in during his watch, and proved vampires can't exist.There are other strange youths around, including American Indians who appear not too distantly
descended from their tribe's ancestors, wolves.Great tension between the wolves and vampires.Also some rival vampires around.How small is this town? The Forks high school is so big, it must serve a consolidated district serving the whole table setting.The main local Normal Kid is a nice sandy-haired boy who asks Bella to the prom.He's out of his depth here, unless he can transmogrify into a grizzly.Also there are four grey-bearded coots at the next table in the local diner, who eavesdrop and exchange significant glances and get big, significant close-ups but are still just sitting significantly nodding, for all I know.Edward has the ability to move as swiftly as Superman.Like him he can stop a runaway pickup with one arm.He rescues Bella twice that I remember, maybe because he truly loves her, maybe because he's saving her for later.She has questions.“How did you appear out of nowhere and stop that truck?” Well might she ask.When he finally explains that he is a vampire, he goes up from 8 to 10 on her Erotometer.Why do girls always prefer the distant, aloof, handsome, dangerous dudes instead of cheerful chaps like me?
“Twilight” will mesmerize its target audience, 16-year-old girls and their grandmothers.Their mothers know all too much about boys like this.I saw it at a sneak preview.Last time I saw a movie in that same theater, the audience welcomed it as an opportunity to catch up on gossip, texting, and laughing at private jokes.This time the audience was rapt with attention.Sometimes a soft chuckle, as when the principal Indian boy has well-developed incisors.Sometimes a soft sigh.Afterwards, I eavesdropped on some conversations.A few were saying, “He's so hot!” More floated in a sweet dreaminess.Edward seemed to stir their surrender instincts.The movie, based on the Stephenie Meyer novel, was directed by Catherine Hardwicke.She uses her great discovery, Nikki Reed, in the role of the beautiful Rosalie Hale.Reed wrote Hardwick's “Thirteen”(2003)when she was only 14.That was a movie that knew a lot more about teenage girls.The girl played by Reed in that movie would make mincemeat of Edward.But I understand who “Twilight” appeals to, and it sure will.
第二篇:暮光之城影评 英文
To preface this review, I read all four Twilight books in one weekend(last weekend, actually)when I picked the first one up at the airport, and could not put it down.I zipped through the other three and went to the midnight screening on opening day.To say the least, I was captivated by Twilight(and I'm in my 20s...).I was anxious to see the movie because, like so many other people, I felt really invested in Bella and Edward's story.Not only that, but I love the vampire premisein fact, I was kind of hoping it would, since you can't expect a book to translate directly to the screen.I heard a lot of serious Twilight teens complaining about “major things” missing when I left the theater, but I honestly didn't notice any major omissions.Overall, the film was better than I expected(based on previews, I expected it to be extremely cheesy, low-budget, and awkwardly filmed).It definitely grew on me as it went on, especially Pattinson's performance.His introduction was extremely awkwarda romance that probed the timeless dilemma of wanting what you can't have(and despite Meyer's Mormon beliefs, this whole series is basically a metaphor for sex).It makes for an interesting, compelling story, and I expect more from the sequels, because the potential is certainly there.
第三篇:暮光之城影评
《暮光之城》看了很多遍了。百看不厌。我想,关于电影,我的确有写一点东西的必要了。不谈理性,只谈感觉。
终日潮湿多雨的暗蓝色小镇。青春俊美的少男少女。干净清新的画面和流行风格的音乐。仿佛是一场简单美好的青春校园爱情。
当他们躺在林间草地上,让温柔的阳光照耀他钻石一样闪光的皮肤;当他们飞越丛林,飞上树梢,俯瞰着脚下绿色的森林和暗蓝色的河流;当她在他的怀抱里安详地睡去;当他们在梦幻般的灯光里相拥而舞......还记得年少时的梦吗——每个女人的心中,都曾经有这样一个童话——即使你已经被柴米油盐淹没了很久,看到这样的场景,也会记起初恋的感觉吧。
如果仅是如此,也已经很好,可幸运或者不幸的是,不仅仅如此。因为童话里的男主角,不是王子——是魔鬼——吸血鬼。而她,是人。这是一场危险的游戏。于是猜疑,于是逃避,于是隐忍,于是放弃。于是,故事变得荡气回肠,每一个场景都充满了张力,让人的心,时而紧张,时而感动,时而陶醉,时而惊艳。
也许是英文水平有限的缘故,我一直觉得电影比小说更好看些。《暮色》的编剧只用了一个半月的时间就把小说改编成了电影,她无疑是成功的——每一个场景的起承转合都是那么流畅自然,好得甚至超过了小说中的设定。比方说,撞车的一节,爱德华冲向贝拉,推开汽车,四目相对,扶起贝拉,掉头而去——此时无声胜有声;再比如,贝拉和爱德华一起开卡车逃离詹姆斯追捕的路上,正好扭头看见她的朋友们成群结队地从酒吧出来——一边是温暖的人类世界,一边是与吸血鬼有关的恐怖不可知的未来,一回头,仿佛便是沧海桑田。电影的语言真的可以如此丰富。
有人曾经把《暮光之城》和《泰坦尼克号》对比,《泰坦尼克号》激情而热烈,《暮光之城》细腻而温婉。作为一部女作家、女编剧、女导演打造的“女性电影”,《暮色》的确有种精致柔美的特质,导演小心地让每一个镜头都保持着这种精致——哪怕是吸血鬼的打斗,也不那么血腥。精致没什么不好,只要精致得足以让你唤起心中的美好。
先写这么多吧,总觉得还有很多话没有说。在这个寒冷的冬天,我的心被《暮光之城》的温暖久久地打动。就像二十岁那年,痴迷地喜欢《泰坦尼克号》。是爱情的感觉吧,它真的值得被反复地、长久地吟诵。

暮光之城1影评
Having read all four novels of the series, I was excited to see the book brought to the screen.Of course, expectations were low because books are generally always better than the movies.Obviously, if you have read the books, you are most likely going to be disappointed.Summit took Twilight for granted, thinking Robert Pattinson was going to save the day by being a teen heart-throb.Which for all the pre-pubicient teen girls was good enough.When you pick up Twilight, it is a non-stop page turner, leaving the reader wanting more.The movie, on the other hand, left me thinking, “they couldn't be more far off of the book.”
The scenes or characters did not make people believe Bella and Edward were in heart-stopping, I can't breathe without you love.In the books, Edward is a smooth and confident individual, but in the movie Edward seems awkward around Bella, moving his face in weird expressions, as if he didn't feel anything for her except an obligation to protect her.Edward should not cringe when he is with Bella, he should embrace her.Bella was even more disappointing.Does Kristen Stewart even feel emotions because she acted more like a robot.Continuing with the characters, they were casted pretty well.Alice and Emmett are absolutely perfect.Alice needs to be a little bit more chipper like she has had way to much coffee, but other then that no complaints.The potential is there for New Moon.I understand that books need to be adapted for the big screen, so of course there are going to be changes here and there, but to leave out important scenes and put unnecessary ones is pointless.For instance, the meadow scene.One of the most pivotal parts in the book, where Edward lets down his guard to exposes himself to Bella looses all its magic in the movie.Every scene flies by way too fast just so they could fit everything in the movie.Jacob, who plays a major role in New Moon was barely introduced.They basically slapped a wig on Taylor Lautner(Jacob Black)and said action.Jacob has a rivalry with Edward with not just land, but wants Bella to choose him and not Edward

简介
伴随着Bella的女儿诞生,Bella成为了一个吸血鬼(见《暮光之城.破晓上》),一切似乎都十分美好,然而Alice预见了Volturi即将到了,大家猜到一是因为Renesmme,二是因为Volturi不满 Cullen家族的壮大,他们想维护自己的权威与声望。Volturi的首领Aro一直都很想把Alice和Edward收归旗下,Alice和Ed的叛逆已经让Aro心存不满。Bella心烦意乱,Cullen家族也很紧张。Bella头一次看到一贯平静优雅的Carlisle出现担忧的神情,对于Volturi那段恐怖的在Bella还是人类的时候的那段记忆让Bella更加恐惧,她担心Renesmme遭遇不测。但没有人能估到Volturi什么时候来。Edward和Carlisle商量着对策,而这时候Bella和Jacob带着Renesmme去狩猎,却与Tanya三姐妹中的Irina不期而遇。Irina是Tanya三姐妹中的一员,虽然没有直接服务于Volturi,但对这个有几千年历史的V氏家族一贯衷心,Irina没有等Bella解释,便认定Cullens创造了一个baby vampire,疾速赶到意大利Volturi家族报告。这一刻开始,Bella知道,一场毁灭性的灾难将要来临……
1.贝拉 :For better,for worse 荣辱与共 爱德华 :To love,to cherish 生死相依。
2.when you can live forever, what do you live for? 当你可以永生、你将为何而活?
3.I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.我毫无条件地、不可救药地爱上了他。”
4.我在这里,我爱你,我一直都爱着你,而且我会永远爱你。我不在你身边的时候,我一直想着你,在脑海里不断回想你的样子,当我告诉你我不想要你的时候,这其实昰最严重的亵渎。
5.你香甜独特的气息昰引领我爱你的线索,但我最浓烈的爱意却只能用死亡来演绎。
6.我不昰在为我自己的生命奔跑,我要抢在终点之前挽救对我而言极其珍贵的东西,我自己的生命此刻已经毫无意义了。
影评《暮光之城4:破晓(下)》记录的是一个真正意义上的动作史诗传奇,来自于全世界的吸血鬼都聚集到了一起,他们要为了自己的信仰而战。还有卡伦家族,他们也再一次置身在了危险当中,只是这一回,他们需要面对的是比以往任何一次都更为艰巨的问题。卡伦家族创造了一个永生儿。但是卡伦家族知道,这是非常不公正的判决,至少在这件事情上,他们没有犯下任何过错,斯蒂芬妮·梅耶说:“既然这样的罪名如此牵强,那么背后的真相到底是什么呢?沃尔图里家族真的相信卡伦犯下的是不可饶恕的罪行吗?已经严重到需要为此被灭门地步?或者只是借着这个由头,来削弱他们日益壮大的家族势力?毫无疑问,卡伦一家是不可能坐以待毙的——如果他们不肯向命运低头的话,自然需要想办法集结所有能够帮助他们的力量,打败强大的沃尔图里家族。” 之前主要的演员阵容悉数回归到了这部《暮光之城4:破晓(下)》当中,并以此为核心创造出了一个非凡的女孩形象——蕾妮斯梅,然后还添加了30个全新的吸血鬼角色。除了贝拉、爱德华和雅各布,他们都将给自身复杂的故事寻求到一个出口或解决办法,如今,蕾妮斯梅的加入,也让这一切显得更加的错综离奇起来,包括出演了爱德华的罗伯特·帕丁森在内,他认为,新一集影片主要探索的是吸血鬼的世界,早就已经超越了贝拉与爱德华之间的爱情,帕丁森说:“这一次,故事的覆盖范围扩大至全球,也包含了更多形形色色的不同的角色,他们展示出来的是吸血鬼可能拥有的各种奇幻的能力和天赋……与此同时,这部影片也呈现了属于贝拉的„圆满‟,特别是第一次看到她转变成吸血鬼的时候,那种感觉实在是太震撼了。”
