ISSAH AND DEB
Cutie patootie movie buffs/couch potatoes who love to write and watch movies (of all kinds!).
We hail from Cebu, Philippines--there's no place like HOME. <3
We're spontaneous yet timid, cautious yet wild. Too complex for words. :)
But most of all, we love to make people happy!
If you want to stalk us, well... good luck on that. :P
From the very first parts of the film, you may think it’s just another ballet movie about an obsessed ballerina who’s dying to get the superstar role in a play. Yes, partly it is about that. Natalie Portman plays a ballerina, and there isn’t much more to her character than her love for dance. But her mysterious and strange façade makes you crave to watch the movie until the end.
Black Swan Official Movie Trailer
Set in the New York City ballet scene, Natalie Portman plays Nina, an up and coming ballerina who bags the role of Swan Queen in a revived look of Swan Lake to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder). She then finds herself locked in a competitive intrigue with a new rival, Lily (Mila Kunis). This rivalry will turn into an unexpected twist in the later parts of the movie.
Lily (Mila Kunis) and Nina (Natalie Portman)
Like most of Aronofsky's movie, it deals with paranoia and internal crisis. Natalie Portman is in the world of ballet and she is constantly at war with herself. Her strive for impossible perfection is the cause of this battle.

The movie does a wonderful job playing up the supernatural elements. I wouldn’t say the film ventures into the supernatural, but at times it might appear to be stretching the boundaries of reality, or at least the bounds of Nina’s sense. There are also reflections of Nina herself. Rarely an extra minute would pass by and make you wonder is Ms. Portman isn’t playing a second or third rold in the film. By the end of the movie, though, you’re surer of what you are seeing.
My most wanted moments come in quick flashes that later show up as terrifying shifts. At first, you might see something and wonder if it is simply as effect of the cinematography. You’ll think, does her skin really look that way, or am I just seeing things? By the end of the movie, you’ll be sure, but only just before it breaks down these weird expectations for the climax.
The Final Show.
Black Swan may be a movie for all the aspiring ballerinas out there, or not. But all in all, it’s a fascinating movie, one that draws you at the edge of your seats, begging for more. A must-watch most definitely!
