Black Swan

This is one of the greatest dance films ever created.

Discipline and perfection-

two words that best describe a life of a ballerina.

Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) has been in the NYC ballet company

for years and the break she's been waiting for

is about to happen.

The artistic director, Thomas Leroy, of the ballet company,

decided to do a remake of the Swan Lake

and he was looking for a new prima ballerina.

Yes, Nina is the new Swan Queen;

however, she has a problem-

her pureness and naivete character in a dangerous role

as a black swan don't mesh well.

The role is, in fact, perfect for a colleague, Lily.

Nina tried to prove Thomas wrong.

To portray both the white and black swan flawlessly,

Nina discovered a part of her that

she never thought she was- reckless and dangerous.

"It’s about a girl who gets turned into a swan and

she needs love to break the spell,

but her prince falls for the wrong girl so she kills herself."

- Nina Sayers

The movie was able to give me chills down my spine.

This suspense-drama movie was able to portray

how both perfectionist and schizophrenic fight his/her own pet peeves.

My mind wouldn't really function well after watching the film because

some scenes were REALLY intense and heart-stopping.

The camera angles were also good, I must say.

My favorite scene was the part where she, psychologically,

turned into the black swan and gracefully executed the dance.

It was beyond perfection.

I also like the idea that it was able to change my mood

from time to time.

Natalie Portman did a great job in this movie!

And Mila Kunis, as always, is so hot. :)

Two-thumbs up! :D
