Perfection...... It Was Perfection

Rating: 10/10 (10 January 2011)

Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan is probably one of the most disturbingly beautiful films i have seen in years. But also one of the most misunderstood. I'm 16 so basically i'm not an expert or at least i'm not Roger Ebert, so don't shoot me but honestly is the best movie i have seen this year ( i still think that the social network was just really a pretty good movie )
Aronofsky has created a beautiful and nightmarish piece of work that ranks along Polansky's Repulsion and Powell's The Red Shoes. Kudos to him because he basically directed a script that in the wrong hands could just have been another Screen Gems Pg rubbish. A shame that his only film that is going to reach double digits in one weekend is going to be called Wolverine.
Mark Heyman And Andrew Heinz's Script is really solid and terrifying but is just not good enough; they should be thankful of the cast and director they had. But kudos mostly to Matthew Libatique's photography. He's the one that molded this dark fantasy.
Now to the performances. Natalie Portman was....... i don't have words to describe her. I'm not her father, but i'm just so proud of her. this role demanded her so much and she kills it. She practically commanded the film with such poise. In one scene, near the end , when she finds out how much she risked and how late it is to mend it, she starts to cry but them she swept away the tears and looks at the camera and her look is so chilling and haunting that's breathtaking. this would be the movie that is going to win her an Oscar and a document to prove why she is so beloved and talented. Kudos to Mila Kunis also ; her role also demanded her so much and every good work has it reward; a golden globe and a screen actors guild award Noms in track to an Oscar Nom. Congrats. Kudos also to Cassel, Hershey And Ryder.
OK, with that being said my consensus is that Black Swan is one of the most riveting, disturbing and wildly melodramatic films i have seen. It was perfect. Trust Me
