austinfromdahood Darren Aronofsky is probably one of the best directors working today. He has made masterpieces, good movies, and not so good movies. But I think Black Swan is his best film, right next to Requiem For A Dream. Let's talk about Black Swan today, and I'll try not to spoil much. Black swan stars Natalie Portman, and she won an oscar for playing the character Nina Sayers in this movie. She completely deserved it because she did things in this movie that just made me say "woah". That's all I'm going to say about the absurd things she did in this movies, and she was amazing, probably her best performance. The conflict that Natalie Portman's character deals with is starring in a ballet performance and she becomes obsessed with this role. I won't tell you what happens to her in this movie to be spoiler free, but some stuff goes down. This movie even scared me at times. Her ballet director is kind of a creep but he completely cares about the performance and Natalie Portman's health and well being. She also has competition for this leading part and some stuff happens with that as well. Mila Kunis was also in this movie, and she actually acted really well. I don't really take her seriously as an actor, but she was really good in this movie. The ending is yet thrilling and terrifying, and the last shot in the movies says so much with so little. The script has a very good narrative and structure, and I don't think this movie gets enough praise for that. This movie definitely deserves my perfect score. 5/5
arjunflamingfeather Black is the color that we run from because white is light; even under the microscope humans attract to light. The graceful dancer in us or in the movie is the actress 'Natalie Portman' who has the dark side to her. The Black Swan is a novel; then screenplay and movie from that existing material which became a feature film in Hollywood. The Hollywood cast worked together with zeal to bring the cinema to it's show; tickets and television release dates announced and noted by viewers tuned in to the latter.
Matt Greene Black Swan is like a terrifying All About Eve, or an art-house Carrie. Through fantastic scoring, moody cinematography, & stunning performances, we're given a skin-crawling vision of the pain in beauty, never succumbing to cheap gore or jumps. Especially evocative in the "Time's Up" era, it captures the suffocation & impossibility of the dual life women are asked to fulfill: impossibly pure yet unnaturally seductive. A breathtaking, immaculate visual poem of surreal horror & intense metaphorical greatness.
kbbopanna This movie is boring, sick and disgusting just like the lady Protagonist in the movie. Right from the beginning to end all I see is Rubbish. Only thing this movie does is promoting immorality. All the characters in the movie are sex addicts in one or the other way. This movie not thrilling nor it sends right message to the Society. There is no story in the movie, but this movies has been dragged to boring 1.48 hours.
