A too simplistic comparison between White and Black/Good and Evil

Rating: 7/10 (21 December 2010)

Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed Black Swan, but i can't give it a 10 full moon. I rated this movie with 7 stars, that goes to Natalie Portman, who makes a magical job in portraying Nina. She truly deserves an Oscar 2011 for Best Actress. Despite of this wonderful achievement by the gifted Natalie Portman, "Black Swan" is too simplistic and too fast. The story is way to modest, compared with amazing special effects and cinema (probably Best Picture 2011...probably, because of "127 Hours"...). What i'm trying to say is that the plot is too basic. White, Black, Good, Evil, with some great acting, dance and cinematography. The screenplay is good, but nothing memorable. You see, the only elements that resides from Black Swan, for me, as a truly film lover, is Natalie's perfect acting performance, Vincent's deep role and a wonderful cinematography. The rest is just a simple plot, evolving across a ballerina, her dreams, her hallucinations, her mentor, a basic fight, good vs evil and white vs black, on a stage. Nothing more. 7 stars of 10 for Black Swan.
