What mean the symbols of The Twilight Saga books cover.

I have found Stephenie's comments on what exactly does the apple on the cover of Twilight means?

"The apple on the cover of Twilight represents "forbidden fruit." I used the scripture from Genesis (located just after the table of contents) because I loved the phrase "the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil." Isn't this exactly what Bella ends up with? A working knowledge of what good is, and what evil is. The nice thing about the apple is it has so many symbolic roots. You've got the apple in Snow White, one bite and you're frozen forever in a state of not-quite-death... Then you have Paris and the golden apple in Greek mythology—look how much trouble that started. Apples are quite the versatile fruit. In the end, I love the beautiful simplicity of the picture. To me it says: choice." said Stephenie Meyer.

Of course there are different theories on the web: one think that Apple means forbidden, the others believe that it's related to Adam and Eve.

The next book cover "New Moon". I found Stephenie's explanation:
"That is a ruffled tulip. As for the meaning... If you've read the Twilight FAQ, you know that the apple cover had a lot of meaning for me, and I was an active part of the covering process. However, that experience is more the exception than the rule in the publishing world. Something to keep in mind if you intend to embark on a career as a writer: lots of things you might expect to be under your control are not. Covers, for example. Those are mostly up to the publisher and the marketing and sales departments. So I don't know what the tulip means—I didn't have anything to do with this one." commented Stephenie.

So the real meaning is, that author of The Twilight Saga: New Moon didn't have any.
I believe that New Moon is more symbolized with the new life started there. As Edward left Bella she had to go through the hard times, but she had her second birth, second life with Jacob. Flower look like Indian symbol.

The cover of Eclipse pictures red ribbon teared, but still tight.
There is no much differences among theories considering this cover. Almost everyone agreed that Eclipse cover illustrates Bella's choice between Edward (her true love) and Jacob (her friend, but not just friend.)She wants to make a choice and get things right, but Bella just can't let go Jacob as he is too important.

The last book named Breaking Dawn puts everything on its places.

"Breaking Dawn's cover is a metaphor for Bella's progression throughout the entire saga. She began as the weakest (at least physically, when compared to vampires and werewolves) player on the board: the pawn. She ended as the strongest: the queen. In the end, it's Bella that brings about the win for the Cullens." explained Stephenie Meyer.

Watch Eclipse online from scenes on Youtube

As  everyone is trying to watch Eclipse online, I decide to make it a bit easier and put all the scenes I found on YouTube in chronological order.

I suppose it should be the first one. Alice had vision, so they're trying to catch Victoria (Paul and Emmet's incident).




Next goes the scene at the parking lot near the school.



So as they left parking lot, Jacob brings Bella home where she meets Leah Clearwater.



So Edward wasn't very happy when Bella got home from Jacob, but it wasn't not the reason he had to worry about as someone was in her house, stranger.



As Bella isn't so safe anymore, wolfs and vampires try to work together. The idea with Switzerland I liked the most. So it's sort of relief.



While Bella is with Jacob, listening to the old stories and legends of Quileutes. Riley is making an army with Victoria and that is the place where Bree Tanner came in.



It's so unsafe around Seattle right now, but the scene is like an oasis in the desert.



As the next day Bella meets Jacob, he decides to tell about his feelings. We don't have that scene, but we can watch what has happened after Jacob kissed Bella.



Bella and Edward went to Cullens house so Carlisle could make a bandaging. But there is one person in Cullen's family that doesn't want to accept Bella's choice to be a monster.



While Rosalie is telling the story of her life to Bella, Volturi are watching how newborns act and decide to see what newborns are created for .




Alice had a vision,so Cullens must start fight trainings together with wolfs.



A lot scenes are missing since training such as Jasper's story, Edwrad's choice and Jacob carrying Bella across the forest. When we are back to Bella's house, she has very interesting talk with her father.





As they clear everything out. The battle is soon going to start, so we see Riley and Victoria together.




I hope you've liked it. It's not much of course, but if you are so passionated about Eclipse and searching for anyways to watch Eclipse online it's better , than nothing!

  

Kristen Stewart interview to Donna Moderna (Italy)

As Kristen Stewart have to change her tastes in the third series of Twilight Saga, "Eclipse", she is telling to the magazine how is it to kiss friends, to live with fame and to be Bella Swan.

It is her time for Twilight stars as Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner are having a lot of interviews all over the world promoting Eclipse.
The popularity of Twilight characters increased since 2008.
Two years ago, they could escape in Europe from all those paparazzi and passionated fans, but times are getting smoother, the Italy, Germany, UK, Paris are among the biggest European fans now.

Kristen told that she is afraid of the crowds: "many people together can be dangerous." And that she feels like the normal life is ended and there will not be that time when she could walk in the cafe and just drink a Red Bull.

But let's get back to the movie and the scene that all fans not only from team Jacob were waiting for, but Edward's fans as well: The scene were Jacob kissed Bella.
By the way,we shouldn't forget that it was even twice.

"They’re completely different kisses. With Jacob is different. She kisses him because she doesn’t want to lose him, it’s a sort of manipulation. But in that moment she understands something she had never realized before, that he has lots to give her."

Kristen Stewart has mentioned several times that she's not Bella and the character is entire different person, but she explained:

"I feel like her. Bella is “weird”, in the symbolic sense of the word, but she’s happy with it. She’s always herself."

Kristen is sometimes weird, she has panic with all that fame thing, it's hard for her to stay public for too long, but I've noticed the big difference: Kristen is much more funnier than Bella is.

Volvo is increasing it's revenue.

As the Twilight Saga has become such phenomena of the last four years,it has also made a benefits to other companies.

In all four books Stephenie writes about Edward's car as about something special and Volvo got very lucky , that it was the one picked. Volvo is as protective as Edward in the book. It's always there, when you need protection and speed. Check out the Volvo commercial for the first movie:

"The nicest car here was a shiny Volvo, and it stood out"

"It was the shiny new Volvo. Of course"

"Edward Cullen was leaning against the front door of the Volvo, three cars down from me, and staring intently in my direction."

"The next morning, when I pulled into the parking lot, I deliberately parked as far as possible from the silver Volvo."

Volvo became a character and a big member of saga from the very first book. It continued to leave in the other shape in New Moon:

"against his polished silver Volvo"

The Volvo became the small detail of Edward's look. It was always silver and shinny.

And went back in Eclipse:

"the sun was glinting off a silver Volvo right on my tail."
"The Volvo followed inches behind me."
"I heard the Volvo's engine growl, and I struggled to get free."

However, the last book of The Twilight Saga: Breaking dawn doesn't open new opportunities for shinny new toy :

"So I was at a loss when I mashed the button on the keyless remote, and it was not his Volvo that beeped and flashed its lights for me."

Edward will still drive Volvo in the last movie, but there are a lot of other cars to introduce according to book. Bella will need to drive Aston Martin Vanquish.

Till that moment the Volvo concern is counting their revenues while Eclipse is breaking the theaters. By the Digital Cinema Media data, Volvo has increased its revenue for $ 1,5 million for the last weekend.

Comparing Stephenie's real life and Twilight.

We can compare Cullens to Meyer's family as the hole story is totally made up, there is still place to some details that are more or less similar to authors life.

Stephenie is one of five kids, she was born in Hartford, Connecticut. But she grew in Phoenix, Arizona.
This is something familiar as this is exactly the town, that Bella left in the fist series of Twilight.
Stephenie wasn't very popular girl in the school and she has the same problem as Bella ran to.
"Are people from Arizona supposed to be tan?" but Stephenie never was.

I look at the photo where Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Stephenie Meyer are close to each other and it really seems they are very much alike.

So is it possible that Bella Swan is like the real face of Stephenie Meyer many years ago?
Our dreams are not just a dreams. Stephenie's dream made her a millions of $ and gave the world romance of the 21 century.

Why Stephenie called them Bella and Edward?

And the secret is finally opened. To find the right name for gorgeous "vegetarian" vampire, Stephenie was looking for something special.

She found it in great literature masterpieces "Jane Eyre" as Mr Edward Rochester and "Sense and Sensibility" as Mr Edward Ferrars.

The name of a girl that didn't really fit in the regular school company was not hard to find. As Stephenie has admitted that she loved her character as it was real person, she made her very close and it wasn't hard to pick the name. Stephenie always liked the name Isabella and wished to name her own daughter - Bella.

The Volturi is also a made up clan and characters, but some fans are looking for some kind of meaning in the Volturi name. I found one in urban dictionary: Volturi-something you threaten people with.

Should the Breaking Dawn be rated R ?

It's still not clear how the Summit Entertainment will rate the movie. Will the Breaking Dawn stay at the same point as the other saga parts ("PG-13") or will they go for "R" rate.


The Summit's distribution chief Richie Fay told :

"I don't see it ever becoming an R-rated movie. The middle road we have to travel is a mutual respect as to staying true to the book but not turning off your audience."

It's true, you don't have to turn off the audience, but how is it possible to make the fourth book instalment in the PG-13 rating ? It's all about Bella getting older, being a mother, going through the wedding and honey moon.
The island part is not just another moment in the book, it's a big emotional step for both of them. Edward and Bella are much different in the last book from the previous one.
Breaking Dawn isn't understandable for any teens. It's not about how regular girl is getting older, Bella never was a regular one.

They will obviously stay at "PG-13" as it will make the larger profit and not let the movie fall in the theaters. But I still hold with the think that if you want to go for the movie and you are grown enough to understand it, your parents will buy you the ticket.

It will help the movie illustrate the book for the 100 %.

Breaking Dawn in Brazil.

A few days ago Summit Entertainment announced that they will shoot The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in Louisiana and Vancouver, but is there suppose to be an "Isle of Esme" according to the book. This island should be somewhere in Brazil. Rio Film Commission are trying really hard in order to make filming on island.

It would be so great if they go for it ... as Brazil got the best views and Stephenie was describing that island like: "a small island rose out of the water ahead of us, waving with palm fronds, a beach glowing pale in the light of the moon."
