decision to make : THRILLED or BORED

Watch ECLIPSE last night, and..
Please somebody enlighten me : who to blame?
The screenwriter? The director? Or the author? For making Bella Swan such a selfish girl and ungrateful and unfriendly, on screen? Note that : on screen, because i haven't read the books.

Selfish, because, she always argued she didn't want to hurt Edward or Jacob. But somehow, the depiction leads that Bella was the one who doesn't want to hurt. And when Edward said to Bella in that cute flower meadow scene : "you sacrifice too much.." I was like, HEH?! Sacrifice dari hongkong?

Bella also remains ungrateful and unfriendly (which, no equal with 'cool', if that's the true intention), to everybody. Jadi, sebelah mananya yang lovable dari ini orang siiiiihhh? Ini bukan histeria atas nama pria-pria yang memperebutkan Bella ya. It's just... bugging me! Dalam film kan harus selalu ada alasan untuk semuanya, harus ada efek kausalitas. But this girl, Bella, everybody loves her, though she constantly kickin everybody out. With her bleak and flat face. Ngga relevan toh.

Or maybe this is something to do with the way K-Stew's act as Bella? Because, IMHO, there's no progression from previous movies. She just stares blankly. No matter whether she's happy, thrilled, sad, suspicious, threathened.. She just stares blankly. Bahkan ketika harusnya ada pertentangan besar dalam batinnya, antara memilih Edward atau Jacob, ga berasa aja.

And the camera keep zoom her face in. And Edward's melancholy-pale face. Time to time, till it made me dizzy, though I'm sitting in seat A. Ditambah dengan perasaan bosan karena pacenya lambat dan plotnya flat. Aku bahkan udah ngga bisa peduli lagi sama premis kenapa Victoria dikenal sangat vicious tapi sampe harus nunggu film ketiga baru menyasar Bella, pake ngerekrut vampire baru segala pula.

Maybe that is me to blame. Karena masih ngotot aja nonton installment ketiganya setelah garuk-garuk kepala melihat film-film sebelumnya. Bahkan di hari pertama pemutarannya di Semarang, oh how devoted I am. Engga euforia yaa.. kan diajakin Via, diantriin pula sama dia :p Haha, engga lah, regardless mau nonton hari pertama atau ntah kapan, aku memang pengen nonton. Sedikit penasaran karena sutradaranya ganti lagi, kira-kira bakal jadi berkurang.. ehm, kadar picisannya atau engga. Karena menurutku Twilight Saga potensial jadi film bagus. Karena katanya novelnya kan bagus ya?

Tapi ternyata, on screen, Bella tetap tidak lovable, Edward tetap mencureng menye-menye, dan screen interpretationnya tetap terasa picisan. Kalau ada orang yang mengungkapkan cintanya dengan sedikit masuk akal, mungkin hanya Jacob? But those tossing-kissing scenes.. Awkward.

Good thing about this movie : spesial efek buat serigalanya jauh lebih baik dari New Moon. And that "face it, i'm hotter than you!" line and the brokeback-mountain-ish moment were hilarious, thank you :)) Lalu ada Bryce Dallas Howard dan Dakota Fanning yang berakting cool disana. Bedanya sama Kristen Stewart, we still could see the inner-conflict inside them, meskipun tampangnya lempeng. Not just stares blanklyyyyyaaarrgghh.

Jadi penasaran gimana Kristen Stewart main bareng secara lebih intimate sama Dakota Fanning di The Runaways.
Dan tetep penasaran sama Breaking Dawn *ngga kapok*
