The Twilight Zone

I did my blog on " The Twilight Zone" because it had a lot of different figurative language in it and very interesting view points. James Wolcott compares Twilight to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood and more and he points out that Twilight was sucking the last bit of entertainment out of the vampires theme. He describes the summary of the novel with great exaggeration with a tone of sarcasm hidden behind it. "Perhaps the most beautiful, fashion-modelly of the lunch bunch is Edward, Bella’s future and forever vampire lover, a high-cheekboned cross between Rudolf Nureyev and Chris Isaak in their princely prime, whose irises change color according to his moody moods." Wolcott uses imagery to mock how the story tells of the vampires great beauty. He explains much about how the main character Edward was what every girl could possibly want in one package, this shows why the movie made so much money and was the main basis of the movie. Wolcott talks about all the good things the movie did and implied who the audience was for the movie. " Watching the footage made me feel like a 14-year-old girl again." This review for Twilight uses many quotes to show direct examples from the movie to prove his points. The review is very detailed, but if swallowed slowly, there much hidden just below his words.
