A review by gabinoonoo
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
2.0
2.5
I want to bump this up to a 3 because Twilight is still very much my comfort media, but I do realize how harmful the whole franchise was. Bella being shown as choosing to give a little to Jacob's wants in fear of losing him is horrible. Jacob's overbearing want to be in a relationship with her is very real and rejection of people like him can result in women being attacked and/or killed. Bella and Edward both need to go to therapy because their self-worth is dangerously low. A vampire therapist needs to fall down from whatever heaven Stephenie Meyer believes in. The scene where Bella has an "epiphany" was infuriating. The whole scene was lazy and completely ignored the root of both of their problems. The scene where Edward begins to break things in the living room then screams in her face because of the result of the vote made me severely uncomfortable. I'm glad they left it out of the movie. Still some of the dialogue made me laugh and the theatrics were enjoyable.
