*Twilight*



On November 21, the first movie of the Twilight saga will be released, creating a furor of excitement among girls of all ages. There are many things that make this movie so appealing. As it started as a book, there is a very deep emotional connection already to the characters and plot by those who have read Twilight. Being able to put a face with characters and see them come to life is very appealing.

This trailer combines a minute worth of clips from the movie. Starting off it begins with mysterious music in the background, followed by and intense moment of revelation between the two main characters in this epic love story, Edward and Bella. Part of the charm to this video is the mystery. It is an intense romance, but still very intriguing and twisted, as shown by further parts of the clip. Edward stops a van from crushing Bella. This type of act is something all girls dream about. They want their "Prince Charming" to be strong and courageous and able to save them from any danger. On top of this desire, the movie pairs this extremely stong character with an actor who has extremely good looks, adding to the intrigue.

If the "superman" character doesn't pull in everyone, then there is still the element of mystery and adventure, which this clip shows very well. There is temptation, threats, danger, and challenges, if even subtly. Bella says to Edward, "I'm not scared of you." He then grabs her and jumps out of the house. Since this is only a trailer, it leaves the audience is suspense, and will more than likely bring many to the box office.
