TA TALKS BACK: TO STICK TO THE BOOK, OR NOT TO, IS THAT REALLY THE QUESTION?
TA fan Oretha tells us why she thinks New Moon, the movie, will be great:
It seems that this now is the most hotly debated topic amongst fans of the†Twilight Sagaâ€. There are few key factors to remember when thinking about what is going on in the production and filing of the movie.1- Adaptations need to be fit for screen. You cannot imply the power of the voice of someone. This is why according to Chris Weitz and Rob, Edward is an apparition.
2- Scenes to move along. We cannot have her mope for more than 4 minutes when they describe her desolation. We are just going to have to flow the passage of time in the scene.
3- The wolf looks like a real true wolf.
4- Stephanie Meyer has been over looking the filming. She has always said that she would be okay with an adaptation of a scene as long as it seemed like something that and I quote Ms Meyer from the DVD “was something that could have happened.â€
5- We saw a sneak peak. I am sure that the final trailer will be a great deal more refined.I say all the above to make a point that we often need to understand that sometimes what makes a great book, often does not transpose to screen. With that we must trust that the final product will be one that we can enjoy for the fact that it is a movie. We all have favorite scenes from the book. Some of them just cannot transpose. The other deal is that when looking at the sneak peak we saw you can see the entire tone has changed. It’s now a dark movie with dark intentions that is bereft of what one can think of as sweet.
Things that have already set the tone:
1- You are able to pick up in the desolation in the scenery by the lack of greenery in the meadow.
2- When you see the Cullen family they are all wearing Dark colors. This does not look like a birthday party. It looks like a funeral.
3- The tone in their voice s when they speak. Listen to Esme’s voice when she embraces Bella
4- Listen to menacing and deeply disturbing tone is Laurent’s
5- The pure lack of music. There is none which psychologically implies deafness to beauty and emotion.These are the points which are turning me to believe that this movie will be great.
Talk Back to us….what do you think?
