Amazing acting, drama, class....with unnecessary sexual content

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2011)

First of all i'll start with the positives of this film. Natalie Portman stole the show by miles. Her acting ability to portray a fragile naive ballet dancer in pursuit for the role of a lifetime is captivating and powerful. Her performance was filled with raw emotion and with so much class. Defiently Oscar worthy. I loved how Darren Aronofsky simultaneously told the story of Swan Lake and the story of Ninas drive for perfection. The ending is defiantly the best as it is filled with so much emotion and tension and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. There are scares and thrills throughout the movie which was cool. Aspects of the film were amazing, however, this film as a whole is far from perfect. For the sexual content of this film is very offencive and unnecessary. I understand that the Black Swan is seductive and darker than the pure White Swan but i think the director pushed the boundaries on the sexual nature of this film by miles. The moral message of this film is that in order to be loose and have fun the answer is sex, drugs and alcohol. It's not. This prevents me from saying it was a great film because i can't support a film as a whole where it promotes immorality. But i can say aspects really worked and are to be admired. That's why i have given this film 5 stars, because the drama of the film is amazing but the sexual content was offencive.
