Here are a few remarks from this very good movie..
1) Natalie Portman
To begin with, is brilliant, and it is almost for sure that she will win the academy award for best actress..
Nina (Portman) is a ballerina in a New York ballet company whose life is completely consumed with dance, and when Thomas Leroy (Cassel) gives her the main role in Swan Lake for their new season, her life starts to change. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. The movie soon catches you up as soon as Nina starts to obsessively perform the Black Swan character, which eventually consumes her inside and turns her life into a mess!
Take a close look at the final scene where she is dancing the Swan Lake.. Is that the sane actress dancing the Black Swan? Yes, it is.
2) Darren Aronofsky
A second remark for Mr. Darren Aronofsky, who once again directed a movie in a perfect way! After "Requiem for a Dream" and "The Wrestler" (which by the way are really good movies!), one could totally see that he would be the perfect choice for this movie. And he sure was.
3) Plot
The story of the movie is quiet simple, but behind it there is much more going one than one would expect. I love movies with unexpected endings, and although this one is not that much unexpected, it is definitely perfect!
How far would you go in pursuing your dreams? How strong do you believe it is possible to achieve them? And most importantly, what would you let go?
