My Film Review of Twilight
As someone I know was reading Twilight, I was asked, "exactly what is the church's stand on vampires"? I replied I don't think the church has ever given an exact stand on vampires. I know there has been a manifesto, a proclamation, a few declarations, many sections even additional sections added to sections, chapters and verses, even Joseph Smith translations of part of the Bible, but I don't believe there has ever been a stand taken on vampires. I could be wrong and would like to be corrected if someone knows. If so, I would like to know the church's official stand on vampires. Is it a moral issue? Is it a cultural issue? Are there missionaries in Transylvania or in whatever part of Oregon or Washington that Twilight takes place? Do the parents of the the female lead character (I don't even know her name) have a sign over their door that reads, "Return With Honor" or does it read, "Return With Honor and with Blood"? Do the parents of the vampire kid have a sign over their door that reads, "Remember Who You Are"? These are important questions of our time. If thousands upon thousands of females, including pregnant and uncomfortable ones -- not to mention some of the most intelligent women I know and respect, would brave the midnight hours and cold to see the movie, there must be an official church stand on vampires. For those vampires that give in to their carnal desires, is it considered "the shedding of innocent blood"? Since there are many mansions in the God's realm, are the vampires relegated to a haunted mansion? So many questions and too few answers. Maybe the next movie will answer them or maybe there will be a general conference talk on the subject. Please don't be offended by my callous joking, after all it's a matter of taste. My favorite movie of all time is "Support Your Local Sheriff", afterall, I'm basically just on my way to Australia. By the way, my favorite book any thing by Danielle Steele.
