In 2013, the premiere of the last part of the acclaimed movie took place. The main actors remained the same. "Dusk. Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 ”caused a lot of controversy among Russian viewers. In general, for several years the film has won an army of real fans and ardent opponents. What caused such a resonance: the plot, the cast, the director's work or the musical accompaniment? By the way, the soundtracks for the film are the only position that does not cause controversy, everyone liked the music. But first things first…
The story that conquered the world
Stephanie Mayer, the author of the saga, chose the right direction for the plot. The main vectors of movement for the hearts of young spectators were touching first feelings, the intriguing love of a girl and a bloodthirsty vampire (although here he is a “vegetarian”). How could such a plot not cause echoes in the hearts of beautiful ladies ?!
The story of Bella Swan begins with a visit to a small rainy town. By that time, the Cullen family had temporarily settled in Forks. This is an unusual family, whose members do not have blood ties, in fact, like blood in their veins, because they are vampires. What sets them apart from the usual horror movie characters is that they have overcome the thirst for human blood. Now, an intelligent vampire family coexists peacefully with people.
Bella falls in love with Edward Cullen, and he reciprocates. Soon, the happiness of lovers will be threatened by separation, Bella's new relationship with the beautiful and temperamental werewolf Jacob, and even death. In each part of the saga, the heroes have to fight for their happiness and for the right to be together, as well as fight for life. Although there are many pleasant moments waiting for them: graduation, wedding, birth of a daughter, a honeymoon by the ocean, walks over the tops of the forest and on a flower meadow.
Vampires, werewolves and people - characters of three worlds
In the final film, the main characters Edward and Bella enjoy life, but it is here that the main battle awaits them.
Bella received the long-awaited immortality, but first gave birth to a charming girl Renesmee. She is the only character whose reincarnation is so vividly presented to the viewer. A young, modest, but very strong and stubborn girl turns into a self-confident, beautiful vampire. In addition to visual acuity and vision, Bella gains strength, a fierce desire to protect loved ones and the superpower “protective shield”.
Intelligent, sophisticated and gentle Edward takes root in the role of father and husband. He no longer has to share his beloved with the huge wolf Jacob, since his interest in her has disappeared. The Volturi, the Italian guardians of the vampire world, took advantage of Edward's unique ability to read minds before the battle.
For the first time, the viewer meets Jacob, a kind, young, long-haired Indian boy, in the first part. With each film, the actors change internally. "Dusk. Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 ”show how this boy has changed a lot. By the final battle, a tanned, inflated, strong, impudent and self-confident guy “grows up”. Throughout the saga, he loves Bella, and she, being infinitely in love with Edward, nevertheless gives him hope. Jacob is a werewolf, designed to protect the population from vampires. He is struggling with all the forces of Bella's desire to gain immortality. Jacob even suggested that he and Bella were destined for each other, but, as it turned out, he was destined for her daughter. This explains the crazy werewolf craving for a vampire girl who disappeared with the birth of Renesmee.
