"Twilight" is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a vampire. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls at her Phoenix high school. When her mother re-marries and sends Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she doesn’t expect much of anything to change. Then she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), a boy unlike any she’s ever met. Edward is a vampire, but he doesn’t have fangs and his family is unique in that they choose not to drink human blood. Intelligent and witty, Edward sees straight into Bella’s soul. Soon, they are swept up in a passionate, thrilling and unorthodox romance. To Edward, Bella is what he has waited 90 years for – a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. But what will Edward & Bella do when a clan of new vampires – James (Cam Gigandet), Laurent (Edi Gathegi) and Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) – come to town and threaten to disrupt their way of life?

Movie Tools
To break down the "why", I have considered these following plots to be similar.
Twilight Roswell
Life saving-There could not have been anything more romantic than a man saves his girl's life.
Edward stops the van from crashing Bella. Therefore, his unusual abilities were questioned by her.
In the very beginning of "pilot", Max ran to Liz and used his healing power to retreat the bullet out of her and leave a silver handprint on her.
Biology class-Where all chemistry took place.
Where Edward first smells her scent and fight against every muscle in him for his thirst.
When Liz found out about Max's unusual cells, she confronted him and acknowledging his secret identity.
It's never safe...
If only Bella is smart enough and values her life, she wouldn't be anywhere near Edward. However...
It's not safe. We're..." said Max. "Just different" said Liz.
Story telling
By Bella, through her thoughts.
By Liz, through her diaries.
Mind reading-
Edward reads minds except for Bella's.
Max reads Liz's thoughts when he touches her.
Super powers-
Mind reading Fast and strong v.s Healing power and a lot more.
The families-
Edward and his vampire families.
Max and his family-Isabel and Michael.
The bottom line...
Extraordinary things happen to an ordinary girl. Surely, a gorgeous alien or vampire is a plus!!
Come to think of it, Roswell definitely deserved more credits than it received a few years ago. I'd always feel sorry for Roswell not being such a big hit as twilight is now. Although season two and three was not as exciting to watch as the first season. Still, I wish there have been more people who're hooked as I did before. In season three of Roswell, certain side effects have surfaced when Liz is getting powers after Max's healing, I wonder how twilight would go if Bella's eventually going to turn. I'd call Twilight an experience since it was the first movie I had ever watched and wanted to read the books just to find out more. However, such experience isn't exactly new to me, it has just been re-aroused that's all.
