"These violent delights have violent ends, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume." These are the opening words of the much anticipated second installment of the Twilight Saga: "New Moon." These words come from the famous love story, "Romeo and Juliet."
Any Twilight fan will tell you that the romance between Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) is one that can rival even the greatest of love stories. The romance between mortal and vampire soars to a new level as Bella Swan delves deeper into the mysteries of the supernatural world she yearns to become part of.
"New Moon" continues where the first "Twilight" film left off. Bella is a quiet, high school senior who is in love with vampire Edward. After a birthday mishap where Edward's brother, Jasper, tries to kill Bella after she gets a paper cut, Edward leaves her, claiming he does not want her anymore and his family is too dangerous for her to be around.
For any girl who has ever had a broken heart, the sadness and depression that Bella spirals into is one that most can relate to.
Edward and the Cullens move away from Forks, but not without making Bella the promise that she will never, ever see him again. For months, Bella wastes away, heartbroken over the loss of her one true love. But when her dad threatens to send her back to live with her mom, Bella makes an effort to forget the past.
While shopping in town, she sees a group of familiar thugs that put her in danger in Twilight. This is when she sees Edward. It is just a mere hologram of her consciousness. When Edward left Bella he made her promise to not do anything reckless, but if recklessness is what it takes to see him, even a hallucination is better than no Edward at all.
So Bella looks for more ways to endanger her life. She turns to her friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) to help her restore an old bike, a reckless tool that will spark her hallucinations. Over time, Bella and Jacob form a strong bond. Jacob falls in love with her, but Bella's broken heart always keeps her just out of reach. Bella admits to using him because she does not want to be alone, but Jacob is unscathed and makes her a promise; he will never hurt her.
