The first time I took a celebrity's word, Black Swan was truly awesome. Must say, Slash's choice rocks - Slash :Watching Black Swan for the 3rd time. Darren Aronofsky is genius. Iii|; )'.
The movie opens up with everything my sister loves the most - Vincent Cassel and Ballet and icing on top - Mila Kunis. As for me, I love Natalie Portman. Having seen her perform in the Star Wars. The emotions she could convey of a lover and mom hood was class apart. And she din disappoint me here either. She was terribly good, specially the scene where she breaks down telling her Mom that she got selected to be the swan queen and the brilliant performance as black swan queen.
The story is kind of psychopathic thriller with the disturing scenes of the breaking nail and girls make out.. (eww). Interesting story of how perfection drives one to the depths of delusion. Super direction, reminds me kinda of Fight club, with the way the dark side of the lead is introduced even before the character's role becomes clear. As for Mila, I have watched her in 'That 70's show' and she has grown out of the teeny character nicely. Something I need to watch out now is Cassel..
