Today, after many weeks of waiting, I saw "The Black Swan". I sat in the wheelchair, patiently waiting for the movie to start,breathless with anticipation,restless,and my heart pounding.
The opening credits where such,that I realised,that I had no idea what I was getting into.Dark.Mysterious.Horrific.and unsettling.The dance was a graceful beauty that I had never seen once in my life.The emotion poured out of the screen like running water off a cliff.The scenes where sensual,terrifying,sweet,and surreal.The story was turned from an old classic ballet,into a modern majesty.The effort put in to the characters was achived with a higher level of interpretation.Natalie Portman should be applauded for what she did on that screen.Her preformance was life-like and for most of the movie,I forgot,that she was acting.Her innocence was shown,with a much darker undertone,and her soul was brought out through the character.The entire film,was a mix of controlled chaos,but the story of it fit so well and blended so completely,that in my mind,it was, without a doubt, the movie of the century.
For thoes of you who wanted a spoiler,I highly recommend seeing it youself.Because i will most definately not deprive you of experiencing it in all its glory.
