Black swan is an intense psycho sexual thriller!

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2011)

Black swan is an intense psycho sexual thriller! One of the most beautiful movies ever made. Yes its about ballet but you don't have to like ballet to think this movie is awesome. The main plot is about a girl who is competing to become the best dancer so she can be swan queen in the upcoming production; that alone sounds extremely boring. What makes this movie intense and capturing is the subplot! It will Blow your mind! The viewer is never told much about the main character or her mental state but i feel that is one of the beauties of this movie. Director Darren Aronofsky always finds a way of implying the story with what happens in the film itself instead of explaining it in the film with words. This is great and shows extreme skill in the art of directing.
The music... classical, vibrant, linked to the visuals perfectly in every instance. Without it the emotion and glory of the insanity that the orchestra was unfolding, the movie would be lost. Composer Clint Mansell outdid himself because without his mastery black swan would not be the brilliant success that it has become.
The movies theme was about perfection and becoming imperfect to achieve this perfection. Complex yes, but totally understood at the end. There is extreme sexual tension between all the characters! This grabs the audience instantly because everyone anywhere can relate to it.
Light, Darkness, Good and Evil combine and become important to the films outlook. Every time a character was doing something impure everything became more attractive but more evil, filling the screen with different ranges of dark composition. Truly beautiful! If you think Ballet is boring now you won't after seeing this. Watch this movie! It will make you think! If you like art this movie is full of it; between all the movements of the dance physically between the lights and darks of the other characters. This movie is a masterpiece!
