Aro

Yeah.

And then the Volturi, which we mentioned a few times, big fan of what goes on there.

That seems interesting.

They have their own set of rules and laws that they have to distill and tell every different community of vampire to follow across the world.

That's sh- yeah, yeah, I suppose that could be an argument against our sort of, our views on it is that, yeah, it is, in summary, it is a love story between Edward and Bella with a love triangle with Jacob.

Like, that, that is basically it, like you said.

The Volturi stuff is really interesting, but not, not to spoil the rest of this film, but they don't really a- they don't make an appearance until the very end.

So it's like they're not...

Yeah.

And it's when like their cousin rats them out to the Volturi.

Right.

Because you need to see that, I guess.

They don't know.

Right? They just don't know.

Sorry, the Volturi thing.

They think it's

There's so many more adult options now going back and looking at this that honestly are upsetting to think about.

So the one thing I do appreciate is that the Volturi are at least under guise trying to look at truth and reason over violence

to

decide.

Like, I like that they bring in that the Italians are so hated that other people are just going there as a chance to fuck with them.

Mm-hmm.

But it's just like, also at the same time, because they talk about it like, oh, we were stiffening in our castles and then the Volturi came and killed a bunch of us for some reason.

I like how there's two

Yeah.

They say Aro wants to speak with you again.

Edward says he didn't break any rules.

Yeah, I ain't do shit.

Hey, what's the guy? Who's the main guy? Michael Sheen, the main Volturi guy.

What's his name?

Uh, Aro?

Yeah, she says it, Aro.

I will say I am most intrigued about Breaking Dawn because of the original four books, this is rated the highest.

I think this is all about the Volturi and it sounds like this could be the most interesting.

As I've mentioned in past episodes, I have seen all the movies, I own all the movies, but it has been a while since I've seen the two-part Breaking Dawn movies.

I do remember bits and pieces.

I actually haven't read a lot of reviews about this book.

Some of the reviews I did read say that this was pretty creepy.

I know it involves the Volturi because we're past the point of Victoria now.

Victoria was hunting Bella for like two books and they finally killed her off in the last book.

So they've just been around the longest? The movie has been in charge for longer is kind of the implication.

Well, the other thing that the movie does not do a good job of showing because it focuses so much on the random colon side vampires and all their special cool powers is that the whole reason that Aro collects all of these incredibly powerful vampires and so the Volturi are allowed to rule because they couldn't decimate any.

except for of course this super special group that has the super special

yeah because it does seem though like and and kind of what the ending of the movie indicates i mean and very much once they're now we get into this because alice of course also has a vision that the voltari are gonna come and fuck shit up that um but it seems like everybody hates the voltari so it does seem like yeah i get i i see what you're saying olivia it's like he's just he's got the bigger guns but like they outnumber the voltari great

In this movie, when she starts describing her vision, she does it all in the past tense.

She says that the Volturi refused past tense, not that they will refuse, that they have refused.

It definitely sounds more like she's talking about something that has happened presently or maybe just a little bit ago.

Yeah.

They're commemorating the expulsion of vampires from the city.

It's the perfect setting.

The Volturi will never let him get far enough to reveal himself.

This is from chapter 19 of New Moon.
