And it’s time to be adult enough to admit that’s a good thing.
The child is grown, and puts away childish things.
Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies.
Its about the love between a wolf man and an infant.
To be clear, I say this not as a critique but as a praise.
Thats particularly true of the franchises two-part conclusion,The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
The shocking decisions in the two parts ofBreaking Dawndisrupt childish assumptions about movies that inherently bad or good.
Theres also a vampire civil war brewing over the central couples child Renesmee (Mackenzie Foy).
As simple as that might sound, the movies unfold in the most bizarre way possible.
And then theres the part wherea wolf man falls in love with a baby.
But in his adaptation,director Bill Condonlets everything uncomfortable about the scene come to the forefront.
It begins with Jacob burning with anger and emerging from the shadows to kill the child.
In a flash, Jacob witnesses Renesmees life flash before his eyes and he drops to his knees.
Rather they embrace the weirdness and let the movie be uncomfortably, and beautifully, bizarre.
To be fair, even a sympathetic eye can see some validity in the complaint.
For both the characters and the devoted audience, the pressure builds to an absurd degree.
Stewarts Bella fondles the sheets around her bed with religious awe.
More than any other part of the movie, Sheen teaches the viewers how to approach the Twilight movies.
He never invites the audience to condescend to the material or to dismiss it as nonsense.
Its just that people have grown tired of the formula and start to notice other problems in the series.
If you dont enjoy a wolf man and baby love story, thats fine.
In other words, only children think that theyre better than the movie theyre enjoying.
And as Bella/Millay taught us, its time to put childish things away.
