Like the Harry Potter franchise, the Twilight Saga will split its final movie into two parts. Breaking Dawn starts on a happy, if weird occasion. The battle for Bella’s heart between Jacob, the werewolf, and Edward, the vampire, which has popularized the monsters throughout the world, appears to be over. Bella marries her vampire sweetheart.

But shortly after tying the knot, something doesn’t feel right in Bella’s belly. She is a pregnant with a vampire baby! Will she turn to Jacob and the werewolves for help? Listen to Jason and Amy discuss this strange turn of events.

与《哈利波特》一样,《暮光之城》将会把这个系列的最后一部电影分为上下两部公映。《破晓》开始于一个快乐的,但却有些奇怪的场景。贝拉 (Bella) 在狼人雅各布 (Jacob) 和吸血鬼爱德华(Edward,就是他使得吸血鬼这种怪物在世界范围内倍受欢迎)之间的艰难抉择似乎要画上句号。贝拉嫁给了她心爱的吸血鬼。
但结婚后不久,贝拉感觉腹部有些反常。她怀上了一个吸血鬼婴儿 !她是否会转向雅各布和狼人寻求帮助?请听詹森和艾米如何讨论该事件的奇怪转变。

Jason:  The new Twilight movie begins with Bella and Edward getting married.

Amy:  I know. That’s so different from most romantic movies. Usually the plot of those kinds of movies ends with the marriage, and you don’t really see what happens after the main characters get married.

Jason:  Yeah, and it looks like some of the craziest stuff ever to happen in this series happens after they get married.

Amy:  Right, she gets pregnant, right? With a vampire baby.

Jason:  That’s right. I mean, the previous movies was a lot of kind of looking at each other longingly and, you know, running around and chasing and fighting, and things like that.

Amy:  It sounds like they saved the most dramatic for last.

Jason:  Right. This isn’t even the last movie though. They’re doing the Harry Potter thing where they split the final movie into two movies.

Amy:  Do you think that’s a good idea?

Jason:  No. I think it’s a terrible idea from like a filmmaking perspective. But I’m sure it makes more money, like if all the fans have to pay twice to see the last movie, basically.

Amy:  Right, and I guess now the last movie is going to have to be even crazier, how are they possibly going to top a vampire baby?

Jason:  Right. She could have a whole litter of werewolf cubs.

Jason says that Twilight: Breaking Dawn begins with Bella and Edward getting married. Amy thinks this is unusual, since movies more often end with a marriage than begin with one.

What happens next in this Twilight movie is pretty unusual, too. Bella gets pregnant with a vampire baby. As you might guess, it’s not an easy pregnancy.

But fans won’t get to find out what finally happens until the next film. The makers of the Twilight movies have decided to split the final film of the series into two separate movies. So you’ll have to pay twice if you want to find out what happens to Bella and Edward’s little monster.

What are your favorite and least favorite things about the Twilight movies?

It’s my favorite film (the whole saga). it’s so interesting. I am longing to see it, maybe in the cinema and surely later on DVD. Taylor Lautner is so-so awesome, ilove him. 


But i think it’s bad to split it up into 2 series, because people are always interested in the end. So it’s just a good thing for getting money, nothing more. anyway, we’ll wait till the end.

really some times I cant watch horror movies alone specially  vampire movies


but actually that kind from movies has a big ability to express  about the virtual world


I  think making movies and producer and some movies seek to get on more money and they care  money more than fun to audience


I like movies which talking about social life and our problems as the same time I guess the united state of america industry deserve to be of  the leadership of movies around the world really amrician cinam deserve to be in top


always when you want to watch an amazing movies you should to put tv on just tv channels  which Broadcast from america


I want to say I dont advice the children to watch like kind of movies


not good talk on the baby vampire my god always give us a good children I disagree with that idea which said it

Really English baby how many more twilight lessons are there going to be? And as if this saga weren’t long enough they decided to split up the last book into two films and make my life more miserable ;). I don’t like the series, I watched the very first one… what a waste of my time, what a pitiful and dishonorable representation of Vampires and Werewolves. I grew up watching “Dracula” and “Nosferatu”, haha!  And most recently “Blade” and thought Vampires were bad ass, until I met vampire Eddy from Twilight :) such a failure. But it’s me against the world, Twilight will eventually top the box office yet again. Millions of fans are still going to be geeked out about the series. Seriously? “Team Jacob” “Team Edward” , how about “Team Bella” when combined, This  confused mudblood (Harry Potter, hehe!)  needs to make her mind up fast and put this drama to rest.

To be honest,i have never seen the movie what your mentiond above,but i think maybe more funny and interesting,i will seeing it some time,when it’s comes to vampire,many filmmaking like such theme in some horrible movies,expecial in the night ,many vampires are activity at that time and hurt people in the village,i remember that ,when i was a child ,i hate such theme movies,sometime i will can not sleep after watch terror movies,but for now , i don’t afriad any more ,i like the twilight end of the night,because that’s means one new day will coming ,will begging ,you can do anything as your planning,and also ,you can get up so early and see the sun rise,really funning ,but for me ,i can not see sun rise even though i get up so early ,because you know , my home time is around the mountain,so if i want to see the sun rise ,i have to clim the mountain befere the twilight,i like the fresh air in the twilight.so i m accustome to get up so early,normally i get up around 6 am, and go out to walk,enjoy the freash air at the same time,how about u guys,do you like get up early in moring,as far as i know ,many people of my friends like get up late when weekend,i think so waste time ,i don’t like that.

Perfect love.


And in my opinion it’s right decigion to split the final part because if they made only 1 movie they would lose a lot of important details
