This is what everybody loves to see!

Rating: 8/10 (17 June 2011)

Talking about such a film seems to be tough as some scenes are too fast to be understood and it's needed to be watched at least 2 times. Darren Aronofsky who ignored "127 hours" to direct "Black Swan" shows great ability to take watcher's focus and involve them in the story. Not a moment I paused the film but I only did when I was scared what will happen next.
Story: Nina Sayers is a young ballerina who tries to be chosen as "Swan Queen" in "Swan Lake" ballet. Vincent Cassel, the group's coach, recognizes Nina to be perfect for "White Swan" but so much weak for "Black Swan".
Her demand to get the role adds more stress on pressure from her mother, a former ballerina. She got all the control over Nina and acts like a baby with her, wanting Nina to achieve all she couldn't in her professional life time.
Nina's effort for playing Black Swan as well as White Swan didn't come conclusion except when she began to get more in touch with her dark side, as far as Black Swan indicates guile and sensuality but White Swan represents innocence and grace. This turning point starts hallucinations and changes Nina in a weird way
Details: focusing on the details for the second or third time watching this movie helps finding out that even everybody's clothes color has been chosen for a reason. In bar Nina wearing white and Lily black is a sign of their position in the world and their completely different personalities.
Sound editing: in most of the films cinematography is the main way to influence the audience. However in "Black Swan" sound editing does the job. Nina's toes piping all the film long when dancing or massaging is so much real that you will have to get all parts of your face together to decrease the pressure. The moments of silence right in the middle of ferment takes you right inside of brain of actress to feel what she really feels.
Actors & Actresses:
Natalie Portman: having a hard job combining emotions with ballet was the main reason she got every reward possible. Her innocent face goes straight into your mind and reinforces you sympathy from the first scene. Great job! Vincent Cassel: carrying years of experience helps him to fit himself into the role. This special face which makes him attractive in some cases has specific effect on watcher that indicates a negative role just opposite of what he is.
Mila Kunis: after "Book of Eli" pretty Mila Kunis seems to become a celebrity who just knows what to do. Admirable play of her keeps the observer's negative look on her till the last scene.
Darren Aronofsky: Absolutely my favorite as far as I explained about actors. All film long you can sense his presence and this is what I feel.
