Robert Pattinson was the only thing that made this worth watching...

I understood what was going on for the first half but then it all just seemed to fall apart! So he was in the RAF, his plane crashed (?) and he was paralysed, they sent him to a hospital-type thing to recover, he was in love wih his aunt, he was haunted at the hospital, the head doctor intercepted his letters, his aunt came to live there and the doctor had an affair with her... and then Rob's character killed her...? I'm sure the expression on my face after watching this would have been priceless because I was literally thinking... WTF?!

And why does Pattinson pronounce "b*stards" with a foreign accent? Tis odd, very odd.

Does anyone actually understand what the purpose of this was?

If we can't live together, we're going to die alone.

No.

And yes, Rob was the only good thing about it.

My karma ran over your dogma.

"Why does Pattinson pronounce b*tards with a 'foreign accent'?

You do realize that Robert is British and this was a British film? His "foreign" accent is one of the normal British accents. It is not your very posh public school accent but it is quite distinct from the American accents. If you consider the Potter films British which in a sense they are, all the leading actors are British, Robert didn"t do American movies until later. In fact Twilight was his first American film.

It is often said that the US and Brittain are two countries separated by a common language. At first the Harry Potter books were translated from British English to US English for publication in the US. My daughter was inEurope when one of the later Potter books came out and she got the British version. Many Americans in the US, as distinct from Americans from Canada, would be puzzled by the words they used which at times is very different from US English. By a Deathly Hollows they only published one version with all the British vocabulary.
