The blockbuster series is divided into a five-film franchise Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn Part and Breaking Dawn Part 2 and the rest is a Twihard filled history (the official name of the Twilight fan base). The plot begins from the point of view of Bella Swan, an awkward, generic teen, who has recently moved back in with her father, to the constantly bleak and dreary town, Forks, Washington. From then we dive headfirst into the epic vampire and werewolf filled series, that arguably changes the history of cinema. Before filming had even commenced, the series had something little to no films had or even still have, lots of women. In the crew. Behind the scenes. Starting with a female director (Catherine Hardwicke) and accompanied by a female screenplay writer (Melissa Rosenberg) who had adapted the books from the female author (Stephenie Meyer). With women as the powerhouse of the films it allowed them to show off that women can do just as good a job as men, maybe even better. But still, many major film production teams stay consistent with male directors; for example, after 20 male-directed blockbusters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in 209, the movie Captain Marvel became the first film to be directed by a w
oman and star a female protagonist. The women who shaped The Twilight Saga by giving it a unique and distinctive style are the main reasons why theyve managed to do so overwhelmingly well. In 2008, the Twilight franchise led the way for female representation in the production of Hollywood blockbusters, an achievement that sadly remains a rarity to this day.
Secondly, no one can deny that Twilight isnt a prominent film in the industry, with being added to Netflix in July 202 and almost instantly landing within the top ten. Its safe to say the films continue to be appreciated by Netflix watchers around the globe. When the saga first took to the big screen, it made Hollywood finally notice and take seriously the largely ignored ticket-buying audience of young women. For years the adventure, fantasy world of film had been dedicated to the 2-25-year-old men demographic. I can barely think of another young adult fantasy film that allows a woman to be the protagonist; normally this type of genre reduces women to being either a decorative sidekick or hollow love interest. But these movies captured the imaginations of women and gave them a chance to truly experience the world of fantasy, a world of fantasy with a woman being our protagonist.
