honestly Kristen Stewart never deserved to be doubted as an actress based on her performance as Bella Swan in Twilight.. if you read the books – and i did, yes, the entire saga cause everyone read it in highschool and a student was lending theirs so i figured why not – but anyway, Bella Swan is essentially an uninteresting bland girl and the fact werewolves and vampires have the hots for her is BASICALLY THE ONLY INTERESTING THING ABOUT HER. That’s the main reason Twilight was written.. Stephenie Meyer’s target audience was “normal ordinary girls” who fantasise an out-of-this-world angsty romance.. and the fact Edward and Jacob are hot (okay Jacob is hotter though #TeamJacobForever). but yeah, if you’re saying Kristen Stewart cant act cause Bella was boring.. READ THE BOOKS, CAUSE on the surface, BELLA IS REALLY BORING and Kristen had no choice but to play her like that. Bella wasnt a strong character to begin with.. but yes, you could argue it was her thoughts in the book that makes her rather interesting but how could you really present her internal monologues in a movie?? so yes, Kristen did an excellent job as an actress and performed as Bella the most accurate way possible. there was really no other way to do it
Friend: “Hey, I haven’t seen you in forever! how are you?”
me: “Fine, thanks.”
Lemony Snicket from outta nowhere: “Of course, in this case, ‘fine’ is only meant to reassure. She has never been less fine, nor was she ever fine in the first place. Here, the word ‘fine’ could be defined as ‘I am actually slowly dying on the inside, but don’t wish for anyone to worry’.
