We just rewatched it, and buckle up — it was a *ride*.
, this was the height of romance. Forbidden love? A glittering Robert Pattinson? We recognized it was a little campy, but above all, we were there for the romance of Bella and Edward . Anyways, fast forward nearly 15 years, and I sit here having just rewatchedfor the first time in over a decade. And, hold on tight, spider monkeys, because I have a lot to say.Dear reader, if you are still hardcore shipping Bella and Edward, please forgive me for what I’m about to say... but the romance is.
Yes, I know we are dealing with the fantasy element here of an immortal soul trapped in the body of a teenager. And the forbidden love is not just the age difference but also the fact that Edward desperately craves Bella’s blood and is constantly in fear of “losing control” around her. But, Bella, girl, love yourself!
The fact of the matter is Bella has absolutely zero agency as a character. The girl is essentially an empty vessel meant to serve as a fill-in for anyone watching to put themselves in her place. And this wasBella’s only real want and desire throughout the whole movie is Edward. Shequickly gives up her friends, family, and overall life for the chance to live forever with an immortal being. And, babe, I’ve known the cereal in my pantry longer than you’ve known this man.
