Beautiful nightmare

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2011)

Beautiful nightmare You can't describe the elegance of this movie with words, it will touch your feeling where you have never touched before. Yes I'm talking about another masterpiece of Darren aronofsky (director of wrestler, requiem for dreams) Story: Nina has toiled for years in New York ballet to be a perfect ballet dancer.
The company has been falling in hard financial time and Thomas (head of this company) wants to save his company with performance of new rendition of swan lake .He puts Nina in hard mentally situation by choosing her as a lead dancer and this choice brings out the other side of Nina's personality, the side which Nina has been hiding for years.
Characters: Nina(mybeloved Natalie Portman), sexually squelched and repressed, DID (dissociative identity disorder), fragile, adult girl which is trapped in her childish issues(she has inherited mental disease from her mother)which wants nothing but pleasing her mother and being perfect at her career, by trying so hard to do this role perfectly, changed herself from naive angel to the magnificent beast.
For the better understanding next part of my word you'll need to remember this dialogue. Thomas says to Nina: (( in four years, every time you dance I see you are obsessed getting each and every move perfectly right but I never see you loose yourself ))
She tries to fight with her childish side by getting rid of her dolls and by self abusing she wants to reduce the stress and live for a while (as Thomas told her to do so). Nina for loosing herself puts herself into imaginary situation which is real for her, like imaginary fight with Mila kunis or seeing the devil side of herself into the mirror and at the end of her marvelous performances of black swan , she even stab herself for the white swan death scene.
The supporting actors are very good. Harshey plays Nina's mom Erica and she made this character a care giving mom which claims that she gave up her life to raise Nina and she does whatever it takes to keep Nina at home and treat her as child and because of her depression Nina can't argue with her.
Thomas is obscure character which until the end of the movie you'll never know what is his truly intention and is he trying to seduce Nina or he want to help him.
Soundtrack was also great in this movie, Clint mansell (the composer) makes you sympathy with the character and feel what they felt and soaked us in the extraordinary horror and excitement feelings throughout the movie.
In the end as I said before this is masterpiece from beginning to end and it's memories will haunt you at least for a while. Natalie Portman which couldn't get the Oscar for her first nomination (closer) earn the Oscar at this time. I suggest to all of you to watch this movie.
