Black Swan

Really good movie, saw it while i was on a cloud so it made things extra intense at times. The masturbation seen was hilarious! A little slow at parts but overall a fantastic flim.

Pretentious garbage, basically all it was. Though I was wrong in my previous statement, there is more to the film than the 3min preview suggest, any of it isn't good.

Vincent Cassell did a good role, but that doesn't save the film.

just got back from seeing this..

what a waste of time.. this film is total shiite.. horribly acted.. cheesy cgi effects and various scenes are very very funny

The old pervert on the train made me laugh. But that was 30 seconds.

Horribly acted? Umm. I don't even know what to say, Natalie Portman was fantastic, as was the rest of the entire freaking cast.

edit to my previous post. i hope the wolverine sequel is better

Nats best acting is when she did her sex scene. Jackie did a better acting job overall.

But she didnt pull off the psychological thriller part well though. Its fine that she the did physical part well but the mental part wasnt great. And thats needed just as much if not more.

Someone said horrid acting? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, what a load of rubbish.

The psychological aspect of a woman going insane due to being possessed by a dance and transformation from 'light-to-dark' failed horribly. Portman's not a bad actress, but here, it was meh. How many times do we endure that same unconvincing look of desperation? Countless. We get it.

The girl-girl sex scene served no real purpose except as 'look, we have two hot chicks f--king, look.' Which is fine and all, but it is what it is.

So that, film tried to be more than it was and it failed.

can't believe you foo's paid $10 for a ticket to this garbage when there's free porn on the internet. for shame.

Aronofsky's next film; I'm so pumped for it.

Trailer - http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/08/17/movie-trailer-darren-aronofskys-black-swan/

Plot synopsis - "A New York City ballet company is producing Swan Lake, and director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) with ballerina Nina (Portman). Nina lives with Erica (Hershey), her overbearing mother and a former ballerina. Nina finds competition in new dancer Lily (Kunis). Swan Lake requires a ballerina who can play the innocent White Swan, which fits Nina, and the sensual Black Swan, which fits Lily. The dancers' rivalry changes into a bizarre friendship, and Nina begins exploring a dark side of herself."

Cast:
Natalie Portman as Nina
Mila Kunis as Lily
Winona Ryder as Beth MacIntyre
Vincent Cassel as Thomas Leroy
Barbara Hershey as Erica
Kristina Anapau as Galina
Toby Hemingway as Tom
Sebastian Stan
Janet Montgomery as Madeline

Gets a wide (or at least wider) release December 1, 2010.

This cast list alone of Natalie Portman,Winona Ryder and Barbara Hershey in it alone makes me want to see this film.

if the two of you can't take another person's opinion that is a load of rubbish hahahahaha

Portman is a much better actress than this piece of shiite...

Kunis went to the Megan Fox school of acting..

i didn't pay to see this garbage, i saw it at a screening room

It's times like this I'm at a loss for words. Movies on this forum like ****in' G.I. Joe and Transformers get praised, while quality flicks are being dumped on, I just don't get it.

Rob, your opinion is fair enough - although I think the film didn't fail, it succeeded admirably in conveying what one goes through in trying to attain perfection. And also what happens when someone has years of stifled sexuality, and not just sexuality but freedom in general due to her homelife, career, personality, etc. If you felt a film tried to be more than it was, I'd say that's ambitious, not pretentious but that's just me.

And Natalie Portman WAS fantastic; I can't stress this enough. Not only the physicality of the role (the dancing, losing weight, her form) but we see a huge range of emotions on display - unbridled joy, pure desperation (like Rob said!), rage, madness, pride and an extremely effective portrayal of low self-esteem. I don't think you guys realize what a tough role this was and how well she pulled it off.

Oh and did I mention the score? Mansell knocked it out of the park again.

I would say that a majority on this forum did not praise Transformers nor GI Joe.

the thing is everyone here is going to like and hate what they want.. you have an opinion.. I have an opinion.. Rob has an opinion.. DDM has an opinion and so on and so forth..

Brothers is great acting, she didnt do well in this psychological thriller.

Well someone knows shit all about acting... - not you Nuul.
