I didn't know that the movie switched the parts of Marcus and Cauis. I haven't read New Moon in so long that I never noticed. I do know that Marcus is very apathetic on most things. He just has no interest in much anymore. After his mate Didyme was killed he just lost all interest in life. Didyme had the gift to make people feel happy, so Marcus felt exceptionally happy with her. The two had planned to leave the Volturi together, but once Aro caught wind of this, he killed Didyme (his sister) in order to keep Marcus in the Volturi. Aro has gifted vampires that have a sort of mind control. He uses them to keep Marcus in the Volturi, but Marcus' heart just isn't in it. When Marcus meets Edward and Bella in New Moon, he feels reminded of his own relationship with his late wife. I think the themeslong "Thousand Years" does apply to Bella and Edward, since they're now immortal and will together in loving bliss for all eternity. It's sorta sacharine and sappy... but true. You'd think they'd be a little board with each other after 1000 years.... same old stories.... etc. etc.
