Portman spreads her wings as a black swan

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2011)

When i heard all the commotion of this film i had to go see it, it's instinctual, just like i saw the King's Speech and any other film that people can't seem to stop talking about.
It was weird, honestly one of the craziest films ever but beautifully filmed and of course acted, i felt more mature seeing a graphic film like this and its effect on me wasn't at all repellent.
It was continuously intriguing, and i later discovered all the characters are a metaphor for all the characters in the actual play Swan Lake. I'm glad Cassel didn't get any awards for acting like a complete pig and kissing attractive women. Is it that hard?
Portman perfectly delivers the role of Nina, who becomes more and more paranoid each second. And how she discovers her overdue maturity through sexual fantasies was also quite genius.
The mother appeared as a subtly sinister character for most of the film, which reminds me how greatly respective i have a mother who lets me lead my own life instead of fur-filling her own. Though some of the coarse language and graphic sequences could have been avoided and weren't really necessary it was a good effort.
Portman was definitely daring in this film, i could not believe my eyes when i saw all the sequences she undertook but i guess Portman was brave and took the cake at the end of the day with her many awards and honors.
