Movie Review : Black Swan


Black Swan. Since the first time I saw the trailer, I knew this movie is gonna be big and great. Finally I got the chance to watch it. Since the very first time the movie started I really want to know what happen to Natalie Portman's character. Very exciting to be watch. With cast that seems so promising, like Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel and Mila Kunis, with director that everybody know his work, Darren Aronofsky, this movie should be fascinating. And it does. 

Black Swan is about Nina Sayers (Portman) dancer in a New York City ballet company run by Thomas Leroy (Cassel). She lives with her who's a former dancer, but she's a bit emotionally unstable. That's what make Nina really uptight, very technical about her dance and really following the instruction. It's a good thing but also her weakness when it comes to play role as black swan on the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake. She's been choice as the prima ballerina of the show. She has to play the two role, white swan and black swan. From there's things get twisted. Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

After watching it for almost 108 minutes, this movie really blow my mind. It's amazing. You can see that little by little this black swan role start growing inside of Nina, eating her alive, playing with her mind. She's become paranoid and sees things. This role is so important that she's begin to forget about herself, trying to get out for her boring routinity. All of that so she can embrace both role white and black swan, the good and the bad swan. Natalie Portman so perfect for this role. She really learn ballet and become a convincing ballerina. The way she act, her facing expression is so great. It's like informing us about her true feeling. She should win an Oscar or anyother awards that she's being nominated. Her totality to play this role, to do things-what's for me is so brave it's just amaizing. Not only her but also her supporting actress Mila Kunis. This girl when for sitkom girl to serious actress. She really can capture this fun girl who silently become competitor for the black swan role. Without her, Natalie Portman's character won't realize that she has to work harder to keep her role. Vincent Cassel, oh this actor stealling my heart from the first time I saw him on Ocean's Twelve. He played really well as the director of the show and really knows what he want from her ballerina.

Like my friend have suggested, I will rate this movie with 5 out of 5. This is a must watch movie. The best movie in 2010.
