Flashbacks

Welcome back!

Thanks so much for coming back! We'll start this blog off with Rosalie and Jasper's stories. Both of these are my favorite parts of Eclipse. These don't exactly follow the way Stephanie wrote it in the book, but they were both portrayed well.

Rosalie's story is very deep, you can tell it's really hard for her to be telling Bella all of this. Although this doesn't follow the way Meyer wrote it in the book, it still has the same story line. I love the way they have Rosalie narrating her flashback and the way they combined her story with what could become of Bella. It is very moving and open-minded. The director, David Slade, made a great choice when planning this scene.

Jasper's story isn't like Meyer wrote it; however, it still follows the same story line. Jasper, Rathbone, is very into his story and you can tell that this was a very hard scene for this actor to play. The seriousness in his face and the pain he holds is all brought out right here. It's very interesting how Alice was put into this clip, not exactly how Meyer wrote it, but still just as great.


I think that these scenes were the best parts of Eclipse, and yeah, I know that most out there will say "What're you talking about? The fight scene was easily the best!" And I do agree that that was also portrayed very well, how pieces of  the fight between the Newborns and Cullen's were put in there and how Bree Tanner was found. But, I still think the flashbacks were great even if they didn't follow the book.
