The Black Swan

Cisne Negro Pictures, Images and Photos


Steph... To all those people who told me that this movie was a psychological mind fuck, you weren't kidding. But then again, thats what I liked about it. Natalie Portman was wonderful in this movie. She was able to pull off fragile and demented all at the same time. If you don't know what this movie is about, its about a ballet dancer who gets her big break dancing the Swan Queen in Swan Lake. Due to the pressure of the roll and her over-bearing mother, she kind of loses touch with reality. The whole movie is basically watching her have a psychotic break. You never know what's real and what's imagined. Barbara Hersey was also good as the over-bearing mother. And Mila Kunis really shined in this movie, her character really stood out and I think she got the best lines. All and all this movie is a bit trippy but I really liked it.

Kris... This was a very strong movie. The acting was good. I found the dancing boring but its not really what the story is all about. The much talked about sex scene was good but way to short. If you like indie movies or dramas then you should check this one out.
