河北理工大学轻工学院 信息科学与技术部 2008自动化七班 李清 学号：200815010710 The Movie Critics of Twilight If you’re a vampire, it’s all about you. Why is Edward Cullen obsessed to the point of erotomania by Bella Swan? She smells so yummy, but he doesn’t want to kill her. Here’s what he tells her: He must not be around her. He might sink his fangs in just a little, and not be able to stop. She finds this overwhelmingly attractive. She tells him he is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. I don’t remember Edward ever saying that to her.

On Prom Night, on the stage of the not especially private gazebo in the public gardens, he teeters right on the brink of a fang job, and then brings all of her trembling to a dead stand-still. The movie is lush and beautiful, and the actors are well-chosen. You may recall Robert Patterson (Edward) as Cedri
