The Twilight film was produced in 2008 by “Summit Entertainment” and enjoyed considerable box office success, leading to the launch of the “Twilight Saga” in theaters: in the fall of 2009, New Moon was released, and Eclipse is expected to be released 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 the love between a homosexual man and a heterosexual girl who wants to have sex with a beautiful homosexual woman. Marche goes so far as to say that the “Twilight Saga” “is the equivalent of lesbian porn.” Additionally, the “Twilight Saga” demonstrates the idea that everyone has their own flaws and that we must accept people for who they are, or are not. The “Twilight Saga” features humans living in close proximity to vampires and werewolves in the small town of Forks, Washington. Like many films, Twilight includes traditional stereotypical ideals regarding appearance and gender roles, as well as racial discrimination. Bella Swan is an average 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 crave her blood and werewolves can easily lose control and hurt her. Plus, not only does Bella put herself in a very dangerous position, but she brings two sworn enemies closer than ever. Jacob and Edward love Bella, but her heart is set on Edward who, according to Jacob, has no soul. In the majority of stories, there is a hero and a heroine, in Twilight it is Edward and Bella.
