Breaking Dawn Pt. 2


When a series of books become a series of movies, the crazies come out. As you all may or may not know, tonight was the midnight premiere of Breaking Dawn Pt. 2: the last movie of the Twilight Saga. At midnight premieres, obsessive fans take their dedication to a new extreme. With it being the last movie, I knew all actions would be taken to the next level. As expected, people were there hours early to get the best seats in the house and sporting their Twilight gear. In some theaters, fans were even leading Twilight trivia. As expected hearts were broken as the final credits rolled past the screen.  Myself, being a closeted Twilight fan, could understand the sadness of my fellow fans. What drives people to be so obsessed? Some would say it offers a fantasy world to disappear in. In this fantasy world, readers and watchers become consumed with the perfect love life of Bella. Whatever it is that pulls us in, it does it well. Such an enchanting story is bound to have an extreme effect. It makes us feel devastated that we aren’t living in a fictional world.  After leaving the theater tonight, I have a feeling of devastation and emotional vulnerability. Too much? No. Basically, I can’t stand that it is over and I love Edward. But when I wake up tomorrow morning and go to #bsupop in the morning my life with fall back with reality... until I see Breaking Dawn Pt. 2 again.
