So that's why Natalie Portman won the Oscar. She's absolutely incredible in this. Pretty great movie too, a little artsy for my taste but intense, scary in parts and I love it when a movie ends and you have to work things out in your mind, you have to think, figure it all out and other people have a completely different view about what was going on than you did.
Anyways, Natalie totally deserved the Oscar for her performance here as a New York ballet dancer who gets the lead in Swan Lake. Perfect for the role of the innocent white swan 'Nina' becomes completely consumed with the dance, transforming and losing herself as she as she pushes her body to the limit, becoming more and more like the dangerous black swan. 02.24.14
