I decided to rewatch New Moon and ooh boy do I have some thoughts:
The moon fading to reveal the title of the movie is satisfying
Why does the movie start with narration?
Okay so if the old woman is supposed to be a reflection of Bella as an old woman, then shouldn't they, meaning young Bella and old Bella, be wearing the same clothes? I know it's a dream but still...
Why does Bella's room look so...cluttered and full to the brim?
She has an irrational fear of being old...it's annoying.
"R&J essay due"... R&J = Romeo and Juliet. Why am I finally understanding this now?
"Oh look Cullen's here" wow Mike. Salty much?
Idk why but I'm already annoyed with this movie. And it's just been 6 minutes.
Oh Taylor Lautner's wig gives me nightmares.
Jacob 100% made that dream-catcher didn't he?
"You give me everything just by breathing"...why so sappy?
Alice just walk down those stairs instead of jumping off.
Okay but why does Jasper and Bella seem to have more chemistry in that one scene in the hallway than Edward and Bella do in this entire movie?
I don't like this movie much.
Ooh the teacher got shade
Edward pretending to think about his answer 😂😂
I'm more interested in the glass of Pomelo juice my dad brought me just now more than this movie. AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE POMELO!
Okay so there's the Volturi, right? But who tells the new vampires about them? Like as seen, vampires are not social and they live either alone, or with their partners. Even James, Victoria and Laurent were seen to be an unusual grouping. So who tells the newborn Vampires about the Volturi when they wake up alone?
Why is this birthday scene so awkward?
Oh yes Edward push Bella away into a table. That'll help.
Edward looks constipated 😂😂
The gauze that was set on fire looked so beautiful. Also, hello cover photo of the book.
Bella has more chemistry with Carlisle than Edward lmao
Idk why but Edward driving Bella's truck is hilarious to me.
This movie would be so much better if it focused more on the other characters than on Edward and Bella...
Bella and Edward kiss like they're rubbing sandpaper on their lips.
The music is good though.
Why do all important conversations, revelations take place inside a goddamn forest for these people? Why not sit inside or on the front steps and talk?
Okay but can you imagine imposing yourself like that to your boyfriend's family when they're going away like "Oh you're going? I'm coming too". My awkward self would never!
This scene is more understandable when you've read Midnight Sun and yk Edward has been planning to leave since the first book/movie.
No Bella. He wants you. He just doesn't want to take you along with him. There's a difference.
"You're just not good for me." Ouch. That hurts.
Okay but the angled shots of Bella symbolizing how her world is slowly being turned sideways by Edward saying he doesn't want her and is leaving is 😘
No don't lie on the cold forest floor. It's crawling with bugs.
Okay but imagine seeing a pair of eyes peering at you like that. Creepy.
Charlie probably thinks the Cullens kidnapped Bella lmao.
Bella and Sam have more chemistry than Bella and Edward.
Also, props to Charlie for getting a Search and Rescue team up and running so quickly.
So she just sat in front of that window? Imagine going to school and coming home and just...sitting in front of a window. Not moving. Not doing anything.
Okay but Charlie should take Bella to a psychiatrist. She's having nightmares, she's depressed.
"He's not coming back". It's phrased as if Edward is dead.
Charlie is so sceptical of Bella going shopping lmao
"Hi Jessica. It's Bella. Yeah...Bella Swan." That's hilarious.
"Some girls like to shop. Not all girls apparently." Shade, much?
And Jessica became self-absorbed again.
At least Jessica looks worried I guess.
No you don't know those guys. Keep walking.
Yes Bella please turn around before you end up as another crime statistic.
Guy probably thinks she's crazy.
Jessica has every right to be angry. I don't even blame her.
Bella being an idiot again seems to be the main theme.
Most people bring food to other people's house. Bella brings scrap metal
Accurate representation of teenagers doing stupid shit I guess?
It's the Werewolf genes, Bella. Or Shifter genes, I guess.
I would be very afraid of a person who doesn't like music.
Bella influencing Jacob is hilarious. She's an idiot. The only way she'll be influencing him is by infecting him with her idiocy.
Quill, honey, no. You don't look hot doing that introduction.
This movie gets weirder when you realize Jacob and Bella have this attraction to each other because of that one egg in her tubes that's supposed to become her daughter.
Charlie is a good father.
I badly want a movie from Charlie's perspective.
Jacob don't fish for things that aren't there. You'll only end up getting hurt.
How tf Bella recognised Sam from so far away? Girl's got that eagle-vision or something.
Don't say "rush" in front of Bella. She's like a junkie to rush.
"...following Sam around like a little puppy." Well, you're not that far off.
This movie became enjoyable as soon as Edward left. Just noticed that.
Bella hitting her head...ouch.
Just realized how ingrained it is in Bella to apologise for bleeding. Which is not normal. Girl probably apologies 24/7 during her periods.
It looks so awkward when Bella finally joins the table.
Oh Mike. Please knock it off.
Also, Mike is that one friend who constantly hits on you and doesn't take no for an answer and doesn't understand that maybe, you just wanna be friends with him and nothing more. He's a "nice" guy.
"Movie night with Bella." Jessica knows it's a recipe for disaster.
Angela looks beautiful though.
The handrest thing was awkward.
Oof. That gotta hurt Jacob so much, her pulling away like that.
Why is this convo so awkward?
Why is Jacob saying "I know what he did to you" like Edward was a psychopath who killed Bella's beloved pet and entire family?
Well at least this confrontation is not inside a forest.
Also, THE NASTY WIG IS GONE!
Is the tattoo mandatory to join the wolf-pack?
Jacob looks like a scared kid 🥺
Also, Bella is using Jacob to heal herself. It's selfish.
"Break up"? When did you even get together?
I'm surprised they didn't show us how clumsy Bella is through her trek in the forest searching for that field.
The dry and dead field as a metaphor for Bella's life without Edward...
Laurent creeps me out. Yk he's upto no good by his line of questioning.
But I like his accent though.
Ooh that's a beautiful slow-mo shot.
Jacob should probably be a gymnast.
All these hints and suggestions. Just say it outright.
Don't give him hope, Bella.
Bella is probably prophetic or something. Or her intuitions are on overdrive. I mean, she dreams the truth about Edward in the first movie and now the truth about Jacob in this one. I know it's her remembering through her dreams but still...
Paul and Bella have more chemistry in this one scene than Bella and Edward or Bella and Jacob.
Emily's place looks beautiful.
Emily gonna spend her entire life in the kitchen cooking for the pack, isn't she?
Sam and Emily need a backstory movie.
Also, how much did Jake tell everyone about Bella.
That guy talking to Bella inside Emily's house is cute as well.
Why does everything happen to Bella?
Ooh I love this background music.
There's our hated redhead.
How did Charlie and the others not hear Jacob and Victoria?
Of course she's going Cliff Diving.
Being human does not mean JUMPING OFF OF CLIFFS!!
The scene of Bella drowing and hallucinating Edward is so...beautifully created.
So until Jacob was an ordinary guy, Bella didn't have any interest. Now that Jacob is a wolf, she's interested. Wow.
I don't know what Jacob expected. Of course she's gonna dump him like hot trash as soon as the possibility of the Cullens coming back is dangled in front of her.
"...prone to life threatening idiocy." Perfectly describes Bella.
Did Jacob actually go inside Bella's house without knocking or letting himself known? That's creepy.
Alice and Jacob have more chemistry than Jacob and Bella.
"As soon as you put the dog out." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"It's just Alice." ITS ALICE! Don't sound so disappointed.
Jacob and Bella about to kiss just looks wrong. It's like he's about to kiss his sister.
Yk Jacob knew who was calling.
Omg Jacob stop. Jacob is behaving like that toxic friend who sabotages your relationships and guilts you for making your own choices.
Is Edward's shirt torn? Lol.
He wants to die. Not join your cult.
Something about Bella running through the streets among all these people dressed in red is beautiful.
Oh that little girl noticed.
Okay the inner romantic in me is loving this reunion.
I wanna be everything to someone 🥺
And we're back to the weird kissing.
Why does Edward look hungover?
Edward looks weird in that robe.
A human trapped in an elevator with a bunch of vampires listening to elevator music...there's gotta be a joke somewhere about it.
Aro looks like that creepy uncle at family gatherings who gets high on drugs and makes everyone uncomfortable.
Aro is probably pissed off that he can't hear Bella's thoughts.
Aro's laugh is psychotic 🤣🤣🤣
Marcus is so done with Aro 😂😂😂
Bella's hair in that slow-mo tossing her around scene 😍
Just Bella's hair in this entire scene
Also, this entire fight sequence is beautiful.
That smashing him into the stairs gotta hurt.
Aro never loved anyone so he wouldn't understand how a human can give their life to save someone they love. Even if that person is a vampire. Or any other monster.
And this is where Aro's obsession with Alice starts.
That vision is so beautiful and peaceful.
Don't say her name with your creepy ass mouth in that creepy whisper, Aro.
Yes please. Don't ever do that to Charlie.
Did Edward seriously hide behind her door? 😂😂😂
No don't forgive him for that shit he put you through.
Omg just change her and get it over with. Can't deal with her whinning about it anymore.
This whole voting thing is awkward.
Yk Rosalie, if you weren't a vampire, you would be dead, wouldn't have gotten revenge and also wouldn't have met Emmett and he would've also been dead. So please stop with the whole "Woe is me I'm a vampire" thing. It's getting annoying.
Omg Jacob stop 🙈 this is embarrassing
Oh you won't let her?! Let her?! She's not yours so you can make decisions for her! Yes she's an idiot but she can make her own choices and the choice is clear: She wants Edward. She wants to be Vampire. Deal with it.
Jacob don't be a toxic "nice" guy friend.
Oh no please don't fight 😒
Oh please. You made your choice clear Bella.
The movie ends with that gasp of disbelief 😂😂😂 as if Bella can't believe that Edward would propose, which to be fair, came out of nowhere.
I don't like this one much.
