Below is a link to a remixed narrative of Edward Cullen meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. To be serious, the video is a commentary on Edward's controlling, obsessive behavior in the Twilight books and movie, and indirectly is a commentary on Bella's reaction to Edward: submission and weakness. The post after the video reads, "Seen through Buffy’s eyes, some of the more sexist gender roles and patriarchal Hollywood themes embedded in the Twilight saga are exposed in hilarious ways."
There are plenty of anti-feminist works out in the world, but maybe none so love and cherished by American teens as Twilight. Girls, please remember you don't need a man to be successful and happy!

Ok, I will admit.. I think I am the last person on earth to still have to read the Twilight series... sad, I know. But it is on my list! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't worry...you aren't missing much :)
ReplyDeleteBut the movie is hysterical. Might be worth watching for a few laughs.

Great post. A lot of people don't realize the messages in these sorts of books and movies. Thanks for pointing them out.
ReplyDeleteCan I also say that I find it ironic/sad that Buffy was created by a man and Twilight by a woman?
