When two guys are in love with the same girl, and the girl has to choose which guy she wants to be with, we call it a love triangle. Love triangles make great plot lines for films because they come with plenty of romance and suspense. Throw in a few werewolves and vampires, and you’ve got yourself one exciting movie. Actually, you’ve got Twilight.

The first two movies in the Twilight series were big hits. Now the third chapter, Twilight: Eclipse, is here. In the new movie, Bella has to choose between her love for the vampire Edward and her friendship with the werewolf Jacob. And not just Bella, but Twilight fans are choosing, too, whom they love best. Find out if Jason and Devan are on Team Edward or Team Jacob.

如果两个男人爱上了同一个女孩,而女孩不得不选择其中一个——这就叫“三角恋”。“三角恋”一向是条很好的电影情节线索,因为这其中会涉及大量的浪漫场景和悬念情节,如果再加上一些狼人和吸血鬼的话,就成为一部精彩的电影了。事实上,《暮光之城》就是这样一部电影。
《暮光之城》系列中的前两部电影非常成功。现在第三部《暮光之城:月食》上映了。在这部新电影中,贝拉不得不选择究竟是爱吸血鬼爱德华,还是维持她和狼人雅各布的友谊。不仅仅贝拉在选择,《暮光之城》的粉丝们也在选择他们最爱的是哪一位。让我们来看看詹森(Jason)和德凡(Devan)是爱德华迷还是雅各布迷吧。

Jason:  Twilight: Eclipse, oh my God, it was so good.

Devan:  It was so much better than the second one.

Jason:  I would have to agree.

Devan:  Especially because Edward got way more onscreen time than in the second one.

Jason:  Yeah, and actually a lot of my favorite Edward time was his scenes with Jacob. I thought they had some interesting chemistry going on there.

Devan:  There was a weird vibe going on between them. It seems like they almost have more of a romantic connection than Bella and either of them do.

Jason:  But it’s an interesting development in the love triangle, you know, the relationship between those two, because they both want to protect Bella but they also kind of respect each other by the end of this movie. It’s interesting.

Devan:  So, you must be Team Edward, right? Like who would be on Team Jacob?

Jason:  What? No. Obviously on Team Jacob.

Devan:  What? How could you be on Team Jacob?

Jason:  Uh, ‘cause the werewolves are alive, they’re not dead. They’re all about just like being in shape and running around and being healthy. Seems like a much more reasonable lifestyle than Edward and just being sad and dead all the time.

Devan:  Jacob is whiny. He’s totally a brat. He can’t take a hint. And Edward is way hotter.

Jason:  But I mean, if Edward is so much hotter, then why isn’t he shirtless all the time like Jacob?

Devan:  Touche.

Devan and Jason both saw the third Twilight movie, Twilight: Eclipse. They loved it, and they agree that this film was much better than the second one, Twilight: New Moon.

Both Devan and Jason enjoyed the scenes between Edward and Jacob in the new movie. But they disagree about which of them is best. Jason loves how active and vigorous Jacob is. But Devan thinks that Edward is way hotter and more mature than Jacob. The Twilight movies have become so popular, it seems like almost everyone belongs to either Team Edward or Team Jacob.

Would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire? Have you ever been involved in a love triangle?

I'm on Team Edward!!!! omg I effing love this topic thanks ebaby smiles I'm a hugest fan of Twilight saga and I agree with you both Eclipse is much better than New Moon. Eclipse and breaking dawn are my favourite books in the whole series. Hey Jason Edward is way hotter than Jacob! hahah. Jacob is too short, it's just the abs that I like most. Edward has a chance to have those 6 packs, he only needs to hit the treadmill :) peace! I love the chemistry between Bella and Edward but what I love most is the chemistry between Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. That makes the whole saga more interesting. They are dating in real life, that is confrimed! yay! lol

Recently, I watched all the three movies of Twilight. I thought Jacob was awesome, Edward was good, Bella was stupid. I don't understand why two so good guys were both in love with a stupid girl. 

Personally, I'd rather be a werewolf, because it's so cool and it's alive.

And by the way, I've never been involved in a love triangle.

"I know 'Twilight' is about a love triangle. There's Team Edward and Team Jacob. I don't like choosing sides, but I can tell you I have a team and neither Edward nor Jacob play for it."

I would rather being a werewolf. I never being involved in a love triangle, it was such a hassle things being involve in a love triangle, and it may break a friendship that they have. so just don't waste your time on that. It's pointless.

of coursee i'll be the team of Edward. Though he is a vampire, he can control him so well, just drink animals' blood. Just as he said in the first moive"animals blood keep him healthy, but never satisfid him"-but he control himself so well-he is great.

To be a vampire, he must drink blood, has no other choice. But he is kind, helpful, mature. And for the love, he always make Bella feel good, but Jecob, in my opinion,just like control~^

 I love the movie so much,i have seen it for 4 times.:)-But what i saw is just the first one and the second one.-I like the first one. If there is time,i will see the Twilight:Eclipse

i love the movie so much-and i have seen it for maybe 4 times.  i like the first one more too:)—the first one is only for love, the pure love . 

But the second one,Harward leave bella for months,Bella almost choose Jacob-that's hard for me to follow.
