TWILIGHT: A STORY OF CULTURAL RELEVANCE



You may be familiar with the popular book series. There are four such books, but they are completely irrelevant. What you need to do is get seven dollars in your hand and go see the movie. Everything you learn in that theatre will help you in your pursuit after understanding that which is pop-culture. This is a task that is difficult to undertake, yet with this movie one can see how the age of the image leads culture into unseen allies, all filled with angst and confusion.

This film is 122 minutes of endless possibility. Beholding the horrid cinematography, listening to the awkwardly dramatic music, seeing the endless looks packed with angst, and digesting the droning dialog makes clear many a question about the path whereupon future generations will lead us. The angst and postmodern sense of the unknown are vital to the growth of those who are still in school: students and children of the new age have been for most of their lives exposed, unknowingly, to such forlorn situations and realities.

This movie changes lives and is the best thing to happen to this country since Blade Runner. This is one of those times in history when you have the ability to behold something that your grandchildren will talk about. Think about Sgt. Pepper’s or the fall of the Berlin wall. You cannot afford to miss this, trust me.
