The film Twilight was produced in 2008 by "Summit Entertainment" and had considerable success at the box office, so much so that the "Twilight Saga" began on film: in the autumn New Moon was released in 2009 and Eclipse will air this summer. The “Twilight Saga” appeals to many people, mainly to the hearts of young teenagers because it allows them to believe that there is someone for everyone. Stephen Marche suggests that Twilight is a film about love between a homosexual male and a heterosexual girl who wants to have sex with a handsome homosexual. Marche even goes so far as to say that the “Twilight Saga” “is the equivalent of lesbian porn”. Furthermore, the “Twilight Saga” demonstrates the idea that everyone has their own flaws and we must accept people for who they are or are not. The "Twilight Saga" features humans living in close proximity with vampires and werewolves in the small town of Forks Washington. Like many films, Twilight includes traditional stereotypical ideals of appearances and gender roles, as well as racial discrimination. Bella Swan is a normal girl with no supernatural powers. However, Jacob (her best friend) is a werewolf and Edward (the love of her life) is a vampire. Because Bella is human, she faces many risks throughout the "Twilight Saga." Vampires thirst for her blood, and werewolves can easily lose control and harm her. Furthermore, not only does Bella allow herself to be put in a very dangerous position, but she brings two sworn enemies together like never before. Both Jacob and Edward love Bella, but her heart goes out to Edward who Jacob believes has no soul. In most stories there is a hero and a heroine, in Twilight it's Edward and Bella.
