Black Swan Psychological Thriller Movies Review 5 Stars

Recently, I got around to reviewing the Black Swan movie. I need not tell you that it is a 5 stars worthy movie. I first went to see it in the theater. The resolution was pretty great. When I first saw it, I found the camera pretty odd. It focused a bit too much on Natalie Portman's face. Eventually, I got used to the main character oriented camera.





Anyhow, this movie is about a cute ballerina named Nina. Since she was a little girl, her mother has been making her take ballet lessons. In a way, her mother was living through her. Thus, she puts a lot of pressure on her girl. Early on, the mother alludes to Nina's insanity. At a certain point of her life, Nina had a nervous breakdown. She used to scratch her back obsessively.

Now, that she is the Swan Queen Nina's bad habit is returning. Her rival Lily, played by Mina Kunis is ought to get her. She has been undermining Nina since she arrived. She made her first appearance early in the movie. She interrupted Nina during her audition for the swan queen. That day, for some odd reason, the boss wanted to have both the Black Swan and the Swan Queen played by the same girl.

Anyhow, between Lily and her boss, Nina is quickly driven insane. The rest of the movie focuses on all the aberrations of Nina's insane mind. As the opening night comes closer, Nina imagines herself becoming the black swan. The Black Swan was the persona she had most problems interpreting. The Black Swan was better embodied by Lily's dark coquettish personality.

I like the part in the film were they showed us that Nina's insanity ran in the family. Her mother had the bad habit of painting images of her own daughter. She  took the whole living through your kid, to new extremes. She was a real crazy mother. Aside from the characters, I liked the Swan Lake performance a lot.

Natalie Portman acted well the dance scenes. From what I heard, she had taken ballet dances as a child. Thus, she had a pretty good idea how the whole ballet thing went. The last thing worth mentioning are the costumes. Portman looked very pretty dressed in her black swan outfit. Truly, the Black Swan movie is a 5 stars worthy film. I recommend it to all who like ballet or the acting of Natalie Portman.
