Okay, so I’ve read on several blogs/websites about the debate on if “Breaking Dawn” the forth book in “The Twilight Saga” can be made into a movie keeping a PG-13 rating.

People are doubtful because of 1) the “graphic” birth scene  and 2) the sex scene’s with Bella and Edward.  Many are saying that both will have to be toned down in order to stay within the MPAA PG-13 rating.

Well, here are my thoughts on this subject.  First of all, I really didn’t find the birth scene all the graphic, there is some blood shed, bones are broken, etc.  You can see worse if not the same amount of damage on some TV shows (national and cable), I mean I’ve seen some pretty disturbing things on CSI, Fringe, and ER.   The same goes with the “sex” scenes, for crying out loud, Grey’s Anatomy has some pretty sexual scenes that are way more provocative then what Stephenie Meyer wrote.  Most of the sex scenes kinda have fade to black momments, there is one exception later on, but still they can take a lead from the daytime soaps.

Further more, I have seen plenty of PG-13 movies that have plenty of sex, violence , and even nudity.  Now I’m not saying there needs to be any nudity in any of the Twilight movies, I am merely making a point.  To name a few movies, “Titanic” had a nude scene with Kate Winslet, not only did that movie go own to make $600 million dollars, have a huge Tween-Teenage girl fan base, but was also rated PG-13.  As far as violence or graphic nature is concerned, this summers major block-buster “The Dark Knight” had a ton of graphic scenes, some that are far worse then Bella’s birth scene by a land slide, the one that really sticks in my head is the “Magic Trick” scene or even the jail scene with the guy who had cell phone bomb in his body.  

All that being said, in my opinion the hardest part of filming ”Breaking Dawn” would be Renesmee.  I know Stephenie has said something along the same lines, that between her growth rate and her facial feature, it would be hard to find a real-life baby that good to the job.  CGI would only be an option if they can actually make a realistic looking human, which so far, I’ve yet to see one that would be good enough. 

There you have it, my thoughts on this whole debate!!!
