The perfect combination

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2011)

The only reason why Black Swan didn't win best picture at the Oscars is, I think, because this is so innovative to filmmaking that it took everyone by surprise. Black Swan is the combination of classic arts like Ballet and the complexity of a character like Nina, which makes the movie take a turn to the psychological thriller. The film takes you to many subplots at a time; all of which surround Nina's odd behavior. I still wonder how could these people imagine so much things coming out of the mind of a dancer, and so I ask myself how could Natalie Portmann make such a good interpretation that, in combination to the background of the scenes makes you feel the mental trauma that this girl has in respect to so many things.
Black Swan is so good because it takes ballet, insanity, terror, family, society, love, and bonds it all up in one main plot, which can be said to be the main character's mental struggles.
This is a must watch for the first three times for sure. It will always have something to tell, and the understanding will be different each time you watch this again.
