And so the lion fell in love with the lamb ... What a stupid lamb

U must probably know where are these excerpts cuming from? Those are Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight which had blown (although not as huge as Harry Potter) da local cinemas and abroad 4 dis couple of weeks. I know dis sounds pretty odd, plus Asignofthecreator has never took da initiative 2 review a movie b4 (da nearest attempt was P/S I Love You, but still it was yet 2 b materialised), but after seeing Twilight (not once but 5 times: 4 wif different circle of frens n one juz by meself), da author of dis blog cant resist himself from falling in love wif da movie and will now take dis opp 2 comment on dis brilliant rendition.


Sounds gay, innit? AS IF I CARE !!!


DISCLAIMER NOTICE(S):
Da author is totally aware of the myths in dis movie. He will b solely commenting based on da story line, without weighting wif da reality which is full of lies n hidden motives.

These are only his rough (general) observation after been watching 4 da 5th time. As a matter of fact, he knows dat dis wud even b disqualified (by its nature) 2 b a gud source 4 film reviews n critics. He was juz pouring it out from wat he viewed without any critical evaluation supporting. In da end he’s juz speaking out of his mind in his lil tiny world ere.



First, da movie is an imitated version of “forbidden love” kinda thing i.e. which is 2 fall in love wif sum1 dat u shudnt supposed to. True, we do av # of versions on dis & each has its own interesting plots 2 offer. But Twilight gives a higher merit bcuz its a motion of love, cherished by 2 different creatures, whom each will bear da vexatious consequences for going through dis relationship. Da phrase, “so da lion fell in love with the lamb ... what a stupid lamb ... what a sick, masochistic lion” is best 2 illustrate da complexities da relationship is. U care 4 sumting dat potentially 2 b destroyed (BY U !!!) and U surrender 2 sumting dat U aware cud end ur life as a result. But still, how cud they sustain? Its interesting 2 note dat, either both of em are harming themselves and still risking the another while its not easy peasy 2 deal wif it.

N Im asserting now on da power of love 2 my submission. Truly, beyond imagination. Which nothing cud stop Edward and Bella from loving each other, no matter how hard they tried 2 avoid (esp Edward). Second, da power of love is unconditionally: no reason 4 u 2 fall in love i.e. neither barrier nor limitation 4 u to love him/her. Its juz dere when its dere. Blatantly true, one cud av a choice, so do Edward n Bella. But wud da option they took make em happy? They cud (i think) av considered da option (by hating each other @ 1st) but I guess it cant be defended till da end. Love is blind 2 sum extent, though we can vividly look and see.



Da power of love also prevailing over da fear felt by both characters. Edward frequently expressed his fear dat he cud easily harm Bella shud they get closer. (In fact he found it insurmountably hard 2 stop from keep on sucking Bella’s blood). On the other hand, i’m convinced dat dere must b a small % of fear n bluster in Bella, knowing Edward is a vampire. (I swear I cud have get my pants shitted seeing a demoniac creature keep on jumping from 1 site 2 another & thirst 4 my blood). Such macabric feelings r undeniable but its a unique theory (yet self-explained-ly) how cud they put it aside & instil their feelings 2wards each other.

Question - Wat wud u feel when sum1 dat u really admire n adore mentions, “You are my life now and I’ll do everything 2 make u safe” ? I will melt down (if not fainted) honestly. Da fact is, not many (5% - 7% I wud say) ppl in dis entire globe willing 2 sacrifice everything (or even their lifes) 4 love n their loved ones. I wud sacrifice my dreams and goals if I meet dis person, but sacrificing a life? O-O got 2 think (really) hard ere mate. N dats y da scripts n stanzas in dis movie, utterly touch my soul. Becuz I cudnt hardly imagine wat wud I react, when sum1 tell me dat I’m everything in his life & he’ll do anything 2 make me safe.

I mean, wat else cud I ask for?

Im not asking much from Lord Almighty. I dun care 2 live in a small cottage, no cars 2 ride, less money 2 shop or less food 2 survive. All I ask is sum1 2 love me unconditionally n will everlastingly stand by me no matter how wild da hurricane comes. N dat seems 2 b da hardest thing 2 get , innit?

Corrinthian 13: 4 – 8 says:
“Love is patient and kind ... It is never jealous ... Love is never boastful nor conceited ... It is never rude or selfish ... It does not take offence ... It is not resentful ... Love takes no pleasure in other people’s sins ... but always delights in the truth ... It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes”


N I can see dat traversing between em. Edward will never (up 2 dis period of time) end Bell’s life (even how desired Bella is). He can do dat simply if he wanted to. But I guess true love will never make the man neither the woman selfish. U cant turn him/her into sumbody u wanted to whom is not him/her. U love sum1 4 who he is, 4 wat he is and will never make him/her into da way u desired to. Clearly, Edward has many advantages shud he changed Bells into 1 of his kinds, but wudnt it be negative 2 think dat he is actually taking Bells away from her nice, cool n loving dad (n I will talk on dat too) and her mum. More important, Edward is separating Bella away from her life as a human. His rationale of “isn’t it not enough to live with me forever?” indicates dat no matter wat Bella is, he will always stay in love wif her, n i tell u, not every1 can do dat. It is, as I rate it, one of da best quotes I ever found in da movie. Even us da humans, our love gradually n normally b reflected n b decayed by da factors of barriers, physical attributions, distance, n sorry 2 say health conditions. We hardly realise dat love is to always excuse, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.



4 dat reasons, I adore da characteristics portrayed by dis ‘immortal’ creature of Edward Cullen.

However, I seem 2 agree wif Bella classical notions “I’ve never given much thought to how I would die, but dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go”. *** N im sure dis dilemma n vacillation being lingering in most of our minds at times. As a Muslim, Im much aware dat da fact dat im bound by my religion which holds dying 4 da sake of God and Religion is da ultimate aim being a Muslim. N I wont slash cant deny dat. But i also believe dat dere’s nothing SO wrong or digressing 2 leave life 4 da person dat we really love. If I wud be given a choice/list of options as to how shud I end my life, I wud certainly put Bella’s thoughts into consideration – wif 1 condition. It must b 4 sumone dat is truly in love wif me and I know dat my death will never put an end 4 him 2love me. So until Im convinced dat dis person exist in my heart n mind, dis option will never be real. After all, life must go on, rite?

*** John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this that he lays down his life for his frens.”

In da end, one has 2 understand dat my writings aren’t reverencing (not even worshipping) Edward n Bella. They are juz 2 admire n 2 really adore da characteristic n personality shown by these two actors. I bet everyone cud be as charming as Edward n as gud-looking as Bella, but how many can blend their personalities n thinkings 2gether. N even I think, neither da real Robert Pattinson nor Kristen Stewart can (not even close) ...



4 all dis while, i’ve been searching up-low everywhere, who’s da best 2 vignette da true meaning of love. Im sure dere are few I’ve merited n agreed to, but Edward n Bella seem to be da glove dat fits all. N I wudnt mind (call me crackbrained) juz 2 b mersmerised by their love journey despite been watching more than 4 times. Call me nuts, but everytime I’ve watched it, I’ve learnt sumting niu and a niu hope has been injected 2 my artery – a niu hope 2 believe in true love, no matter how hard it is 2 b found.

Which consequently derive me 2 da conclusion dat, Zokhri Idris is totally aware dat 2 certain extent da movie is unreal and will never be real in reality. Hands up. I shrugged off. N he knows dat his feet are still stepping on da ground realising and feeling da real world dat everyone is facing significantly distinguished from da movie. But is dere anything wrong 2 put a hope 4 sumting pure n holly (although its totally illusionary) ?


Am I guilty juz 2 imagine all those wonderful fantasies while facing my bizarre n despondency life now?

Am I insane 2 believe in true love, although true love is far too real in me life (n probably in urs too)?



I am juz an ordinary human, believing in sumting dat cud serve as an antidote to me n da world, while still realising it mite -slash- will never happen till da day I close me eyes eternally. But as long, I think, as I have a mind 2 fantasise, a heart 2 feel my own dream version of love, no one (even you) cud stop me from doing so.


After all, because of this hope, Zokhri Idris is still standing, searching, struggling and most importantly STILL LIVING.
