Here Are 7 Specific Examples Why There Will Never Be A Film That Is Better Than "Twilight: New Moon"

A look into why New Moon is the perfect sad girl summer watch.

While we dust off our team Edward & Jacob t-shirts due to Twilight's recent pop culture resurgence, I believe society is finally ready for my Twilight manifesto: why Twilight: New Moon is the ultimate sad girl movie.

It truly brings me comfort...

1. Bella has a dream she is a literal grandma on her 18th birthday.

The movie begins with Bella dreaming she is the spitting image of her grandmother all while her immortal vampire boyfriend looks as 17 as a 22-year-old Robert Pattinson possibly can. This is intense and frankly, unforgettable.

2. Jasper goes full rabid over one drop of Bella’s blood.

Edward chooses to hustle Bella across the living room and Jasper loses his entire mind over a paper cut (yikes!) after having remained calm in the previous film while Bella bled out in the dance studio. The scene is full of choices. Choices that really inform Jasper’s character and show that vampire veganism is truly not a linear journey.

3. The "months passing" scene...

This is possibly one of the most poignant moments of modern cinema. An essentially catatonic Bella sits in a fairly uncomfortable looking chair for three months straight. The seasons change as the months flash across the screen; however, Bella does not change and neither does her position, facial expression, nor her clothes. It is a firm reminder that while we have all been down, we have never been that down over a guy.

4. Bella almost dies at least three times and is still the main character.

Did Bella have an inner ear issue, was it a depth perception thing, perhaps one of her legs was too short? This chick is clumsy af! Whatever the reason, ~clumsy~ representation in media is important. As someone who also is prone to near death experiences, Bella as the heroine of her own story really inspires me.

5. New Moon is Taylor Lautner’s time to shine.

We see you Jacob! As far as I can tell, Taylor Lautner is the only man Taylor Swift regrets breaking up with (source: “Back to December”). For that and that reason alone, I was and will forever be team Jacob.

6. Edward's answer to thinking Bella is dead is to literally die.

A reminder that while we should never be as down as Bella was sitting in that chair (I’ll mention this again: it was a very uncomfortable looking chair she was sitting in for three months), men should be willing to die for, with, and because of us at the drop of a hat.

7. Last but not least, this line happens: "Bella! Where the hell have you been, loca?"

No further explanation will be provided nor is needed at this time.
