Books and the Silver Screen discussion

This is the place to discuss all things Twilight.

Yeah! This is my kind of convo! Team Edward!

Okay you Twilight fanatics out there. Would someone please explain the controversy over the Breaking Dawn cover? Myers has admitted to having played a role in choosing the photo. Why this photo, a couple of chess pieces, one red, one white? What's the big deal?

It's sort of supposed to rep. the war/battle of the wills agianst the Volturi and Cullens.

The big white queen represents Bella as a vampire - strong and pale. The red pawn is Bella as a human - vulnerable and with a body filled with blood. The queen is in the front to represent Bella coming forth as an immortal vampire whilst leaving her human life behind.

This is the best explanation I have seen. It makes sense. I have to conclude that the controvesy is more about what Bella chooses than how she is represented on the cover. A good or bad role model, forced to choose between two monsters with little voice of her own? That's a topic for another discussion...

ya, I think my explanation was sort of dumb. I really just guessed randomly.
