The sensuality is mild (I feel that movies like Swiss Family Robinson had more sexual tension than Twilight), and the father figures are especially good. It's so rare to see that in movies! She also has a pure, unsexed friendship with Jacob, and it's rare to see that with opposite-sex friendships, at least in movies.<br /><br />I'm rereading this again, and I'm so glad you wrote positively about these movies, Courtney. This is important for people to see! Because it's a fantasy novel, it doesn't translate well to real life, but I'm sure that moms can explain that easily to their children. I have no qualms about letting my children watch them!!

I felt that they kept it very mild and toned down. But as I said, I have yet to see the others.<br /><br />As for her age, I agree, but it's all just a part of the story. It's part of the nonsense. I felt it was completely harmless. I don't see that it's going to make young girls go for older men more than they already do.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763925798143754186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293413910358762274.post-58162053423251116242011-11-20T21:17:15.591-06:002011-11-20T21:17:15.591-06:00I didn't want to like Twilight but I do.

Because I have seen them all I know where she is going with her relationship with him. In the second movie she falls into a painful depression when he has to leave her. She is actually too young for him (hes in the 100's LOL) and most of the next movies is her lust for Jacob too. Though it has many pluses like in Breaking Dawn they advocate LIFE of a baby which I found AWESOME. But I can't let my daughter (17) see any of them.(Too Sensual) Now mind you I don't even let her and her siblings watch a lot of the Disney stations either. Twilight over a broad scale does have a lot of good qualities and I am a fan. But the audience should never be tweens or younger. And parents should censor for there kids and not let them get too involved in anything. But as I said before I am a fan :)Thomasinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00217152046711957003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293413910358762274.post-62250122822376493912011-11-20T20:58:59.374-06:002011-11-20T20:58:59.374-06:00Muahahahahahaha ;)Muahahahahahaha ;)Audrey Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6293413910358762274.post-47926641214553288422011-11-20T20:03:15.170-06:002011-11-20T20:03:15.170-06:00Preach it, girl!Preach it, girl!Antigone's Clamorhttp://thoughtsoflaraleigh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
