One hell of a movie

Rating: 7/10 (16 November 2010)

Darren Arnofsky has gone through a change of taste in filmmaking within the past 10 years and after the first decade of the 21st century he topped it off with one of his best. Black Swan is a fascinating story that brings snippets of different aspects from all his movies combined with the very profound story of a belle dancer which creates this very beautiful film. The blacks,whites, and subtle pinks in the set design bring such a unique feeling that most movies are not doing now a days. Portman and Kunis's roles were articulated perfectly to the very last bit of dialouge. But the things that really made me give this movie a 8 rather than a 10 is the music and some of the special effects were a bit of a let down for me. The epic Lux Aterna from Requiem to the sorrow filled compositions of the fountain to this was no comparison. The Wrestlers music had done the same to me as Black Swan too.Anyone who is a Arnofsky fan should go see it though no matter what. Its in the top 10 best movies of the year in my book. Hope this helps.
