The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2

Theatrical Poster

Due to the unauthenticated allegation of the Volturi to the daughter of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen, Renesmee, imputing that Renesmee is an immortal child, this caused the brutal and ghastly fight scenes between the Cullens together with their other friends and with the Volturi. As Aro, the leader of the Volturi and Dr. Carlisle Cullen, the "adoptive father" of Alice, Edward, Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie and the husband of Esme Cullen, jumped off into the air and fought. Hence, the head of Dr. Carlisle was cut off with his corpse laid down which triggered the Cullens to fight back and redeem for their father's death. Moreover, As they continue to fight, many of the Cullens and of their friends died. Jasper Cullen died. Esme Cullen, was thrown off on a steep wall made by the division of the snow wherein they are battling. Also, many of Jacob's friends, the wolves, who also helped the Cullens, unfortunately died. At the end of their fight, where almost everyone was already dead, cut-off heads and corpses filling the whole place, Bella and Edward ran to Aro and killed him by means of cutting his head off like what he always do. But can you believe that all of these were just part of Alice Cullen's vision? No one died. No one suffered. No one sacrificed. Nothing at all. All of these horrible things that definitely drove us spectators of the film to be startled, were just part of Alice's vision with a primary objective which is just to show and let Aro know what will happen to him if he will insist to continue the battle.

Breaking Dawn Fight Scene

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2, a 2012 drama, romantic, fantasy film directed by Bill Condon with writers Melissa Rosenberg (screenplay) and based on the novel of Stephanie Meyer which runs for one hour and fifteen minutes is definitely the best novel of the totality of the Twilight film. The film is about the birth of Renesmee, the half-human and half-vampire daughter of Bella and Edward. At the beginning of the story, everything is just fine and sound. Truly, they are living an effervescent life that time with Renesmee on their side. Suddenly, the Volturi came in and start accusing false allegation against Renesmee which did start the gruesome battle of the Volturi and the Cullens together with their friends whom they asked for help in order to fight the Volturi. 

When it comes to the technical elements of the film, I adore all the editing styles. When Renesmee was still a baby, the director of the movie and all other cast of the film have already shown to the spectators of the film what the baby is about. Who is she and what is she. They have showed to the audience that that baby was a half-human and half-vampire that is why the physical outlook appearance of it is somehow matured. As we all know, a vampire matures instantly and so the editors of the film must be able to show the manifestations of a matured baby even though it is still a baby and they have shown it! (To the editors of the film, great!)

When it comes to the directing of Bill Condon, I really admire the way he directed the whole film. Like what I have said previously, you can see the twist that Bill Condon did in order to showcase the abrupt scenes that the audience are not expecting to happen. As I read through some sources, they said that the fighting scenes were not really part of the book but just added by when they were shooting the film. I greatly esteem the directing of the film. I believe that 'twists' in a film is one of the most essential thing that directors should focus on because with this, they are indeed driving the emotions of the spectators of the film. 

In addition, when it comes to the acting of the actors in the film, I cannot see any negative thing when it comes to their acting. All of them were great and they have portrayed their roles in the film the way it should be portrayed. Like what happened in the fighting scenes, they used their powers to fight the Volturi. Like with Alice, she acted the way she should act using her power of vision, to think of the future and what will happen. Same with Bella, with her power to help the Cullens endure the pain whenever they are in danger. Bella also acted in the natural way she should portray her power as some like the 'shield' of the Cullens. 

Furthermore, talking about the film's cinematography, it really deserves a tons of applause for Guillermo Navarro, the Twilight Saga's cinematographer. Excellent motion picture photography. From the beginning of the film wherein the credits are being shown, up to the ending part of the film, the photographs behind were really great and really shows that the apparatuses used were state-of-the-art. 

The film falls under Apparatus Theory. Like what is said in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparatus_theory, It maintains that cinema is by nature ideological and that cinema maintains the dominant ideology of the culture within the viewer. In the film, the dogma of the vampires were introduced from the very start of the first novel of the film and up to the last, in Breaking Dawn - Part 2. We, as spectators of the film, have seen the articles of faith of the vampire clan, Cullens, specifically. 

They say, impossible things are impossible and so they are impossible to be done. Nevertheless, as the blockbuster and talk of the town film leaved its avid fans and supporters, the film also leaved us with a beautiful message that the genuine love inculcated between two lovers is the only key to open the door of strength and courage to surpass all the obstacles along the way that are impossible to overcome. As what they always say, "Love conquers all."
