Twilight the movie is similar to Twilight the book. Both the movie and the book display the deep affection of the two main characters, Edward Cullen & Bella Swan. There is on major conflict that seems to come in the way of their love. The conflict is that Edward is a vampire. Bella wants to become a vampire so they can be together forever. Edward does not want Bella to renounce her human life. This conflict drives both the book and the movie. It was an excellent book and an even better movie.

Reading is Relaxing
