Analysis of the new Vampire movie

I watched 'Eclipse' yesterday and despite its 'feel good' factor, complete fantasy, Vampires and Robert Pattinson, I can't help feeling absolutely nauseated by the whole thing. I felt completely annoyed to the extend that I have to write it down in my blog and share it with all of my friends.

I have read all four twilight books (embarrassingly) and this third movie confirms one thing...it is purely a naive girl's fantasy.

1. The whole movie resolves around one girl and how the whole town is there to protect her. I mean how egocentric is that?

2. She meets this Filthy rich guy and he doesn't have to work. Okay, most guys who have time to puppy-dog around for a girl are pretty skinned.

3. She meets this gorgeous guy and he doesn't have a million other girlfriends. Okay, that is pretty lame unless the guy has Iman and Taqwa (i.e. he won't be going out with any girl for that matter but will simply get married)

4. She has two guys chasing after her and they will 'wait' for her and let her go if she decides to go for either one of them. Okay...how noble! Are we living at a time of chivalry and Cavalry?

Okay, I can list a few more but I haven't got time right now...

My only fear is that girls will watch this movie and actually believe in this fantasy or influenced to attain such 'romantic' ideal. I know most girls will not because they are more intelligent than that but still, it is important to point out that hollywood movies are full of fantasy. Just like if you're watching a monster movie, you know there's no such thing as a monster and of course, vampires are a big clue that this movie is actually fictional. Hence, the dream guy is fictional and this romance is fictional.

I wish they would write books that actually encourages girls to be strong, to achieve something for themselves, to be independent thinkers instead of chasing after 'love'.

It is important especially for Muslims, if you intend to watch these kind of movies to place yourself in reality and understand that we are here to worship Allah, to understand what is allowed and what is forbidden and not to get completely absorbed by fantasies and lies...

Remember surah Nisa 118-119

"Allah cursed him (Syaitan) and he (syaitan) said "I will take an appointed portion of your slaves. Verily! I will mislead them and surely I will arouse in them false desires and I will order them to slit the ears of cattle (false worship) and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah. And whoever takes Syaitan as his protector (wali) has surely suffered a manifest loss. He (syaitan) makes promises to them and arouses in them false desires and the promise of Syaitan is nothing but deception"
