Eclipse

Love it or hate it, there's no escaping the fact that Eclipse is already one of the most anticipated movies of the year, and may become one of the most successful, as well. The story is very well fictionalized with symbolic expressions and reflects this mythical world in a lyrical yet impressive way.

The visuals on the book cover symbolize the meaning of each episode as well. Twilight is an apple; a new beginning of love. It represents the forbidden fruit; Bella and Edward's forbidden love. New moon is a bleeding flower; where Bella bleeds from pain from Edward leaving her. Eclipse is a ribbon torn; Bella is torn in the decision to choose Jacob or Edward. Breaking Dawn is a game of Chess; Edward, (the queen) protecting Bella (the pawn) as a newborn. It represents her transformation from human to vampire. Eclipse will be in theaters in July.
