Description

The listing, Twilight In Forks--The Saga of the Real Town has ended.

Twilight in Forks: The Saga of the Real Town is a documentary about the impact of the Twilight books and movies on the real-life town of Forks, Washington, the setting of Meyer's four-book Twilight series and the movies that followed them. Filmed in Forks, this 84-minute documentary presents extensive interview footage of the town's residents, including chamber of commerce members, store owners, students, teachers, and Quileute tribal elders, as well as a variety of Twilight fans from around the United States. Interspersed are absolutely breathtaking views of one of the most scenic places in the Pacific Northwest. Following a quick overview of the mystique of this rainy, yet beautiful area, the film is divided into six sections. The "Fans" segment is an enthusiastic celebration of all things Twilight, featuring interviews with a wide variety of Twilight fans. There's no denying that the Twilight phenomenon has hugely impacted the small town of Forks, and the "People" section of the film chronicles how Forks residents feel about the increased tourism in and visibility of their small town. The "Tour" segment focuses on the town's newly developed Twilight tours, and "Characters" highlights the town's real-life chief of police, doctor, restaurant owner, and Quileute tribal elders. The "La Push" section offers insight into historical tribal legends of the area through the words of the Quileute.One especially interesting legend is that of the "changeover" people, in which, as Anita Wheeler describes, certain wolves were chosen "to set things right in the world" by becoming people and settling on the Quileute land now known as La Push. Finally, the "History" section details Forks' early days as a booming logging town, its more recent economic struggles due to decreased logging activity, and the tourism in the area thanks to the popularity of the Twilight books and movies.

DVD is used, but in great condition, cover is slightly worn.

WoW...You just made that cookie up, didn't you? I mean, if that were a real cookie--with all those ingredients--it would qualify as the main course instead of dessert!

nope i love to play with recipes in the kitchen and this is my fave. the oats and nuts and dried fruit cancel out the sugar and chocolate chips in my book

I hear you. There used to be a Perkin's Restaurant about 30 miles away, and I'd do a road trip (gas was cheaper then) just to buy a half dozen of their peaches and cream muffins. Excuse me, I think I just drooled on my computer. LOL

I actually have this movie and it's very informative. The people at the visitor center aren't as nice as they are in this video though. One lady had a mean look on her face the while time I was there. Most of the people in Forks are super nice though. The Quileutes are really nice though!

Well, we all have our "off" days, maybe they were all ready for a day off and you just happened to visit then. Sorry that you experienced some negativity while you were there. Thanks for the comment.

Thanks. Yes, it was interesting. I had the DVD on my Netflix list, waiting for forever, so I bought it. Now that I've finally seen, I am passing it on. I love Twilight too. I already have a babysitter lined up so that I can go see "Breaking Dawn" without my husband and my 2 1/2 year-old distracting me.

My husband teaches High School Mythology. He would probably love to have this. It looks very interesting. Fanned and watching.
