Hardwicke ran chemistry tests between Stewart and four potential co-stars. At certain points, Pattinson and Stewart were lovers on screen and off, which perhaps added to the veracity. Certainly, young women were happy to wait through three-and-a-half films before the relationship was consummated in a bed-breaking honeymoon scene after a glitzy wedding in Breaking Dawn I. For many fans, the films were not about abstinence, but everlasting foreplay.
Looked at through the lens of the MeToo generation, there is something to be said for a boy who is not pressuring a teenage girl to have sex. But many feminists just said no to Twilight and claimed the vampire was merely a metaphor for the dangers of pre-marital sexual intercourse. Where is her independent streak with Edward that she displays so fervently with her father and friends? Of course, the later films became all about who would be the best and most self-sacrificial protector of Bella — Edward or the werewolf Jacob Black played by the increasingly muscled Taylor Lautner.
In Breaking Dawn I, she courageously handles the gruesome problems of giving birth to a hybrid human-vampire baby, but by Breaking Dawn II, she takes on vampire shape herself, and arm-wrestles the rest of the Cullen coven into submission, just after she has chased a mountain lion and sunk her teeth into its jugular.
In the end, Bella is active and empowered, a leader in battle, and the Twi-hards loved it. Hardwicke quietly slipped some of her own politics into the first film, too, particularly when it came to casting a few actors or colour, who were not in the books, which depicted all vampires with pale, white, glittering skin. The werewolves of the Quileute Tribe were mostly Native American. Hardwicke tried to encourage Meyer to cast Alice Cullen as Japanese, to no avail, but she did persuade the author that there could be some diversity among the school pupils and that Kenyan-American actor Edi Gathegi would play the vampire Laurent.
Writing this feature brought back fond and ridiculous memories of watching the whole saga unfold as a critic, and taking my daughter, who was 10 when the first film debuted, and my son, then 13, through screaming, palpitating fans in Leicester Square to later premieres. Kermode always understood the popular Twilight phenomenon , while others sneered. Can Darren trick destiny! The final instalment, coming soon!
