Psycho, Sexual thriller is what it is!!!

Rating: 8/10 (18 December 2010)

This is movie portrays what is said about itself "Wicked Psycho Sexual Thriller". This movie follows a Ballet dancer named Nina. Her mind and body is devoted to dancing and to perfecting everything about her dancing. Through out the movie she is constantly competing against her sanity. Along with her sanity on line she is beginning to feel she is losing her part in the production of Swan lake, to a dance sister named Lily. If it wasn't enough pressure on Nina to have to deal with her sanity, that could soon be gone, and losing her role in the play, she goes home to a unstable mom. Her mom is lost in her own failure as a dancer and can not accept the fact she never made it. Nina's mom blames it on her that she never made it has a dancer. She wants her to succeed so bad that she pushes Nina to hard.
The Relationship between Nina and Lily in this movie is extremely intense, passionate, provocative and mentally thrilling. Lily seems to take advantage of Nina's situation and send Nina done an even darker path of her own destruction. Lily please a creepy and sexual character, yet at times she is just a regular friendly girl that does nothing wrong. Nina in this situation starts to blame her problems and struggles on Lily and that Lily is trying to get her out of the show and take her place as the lead ballet dancer dong the White and Black Swan.
Nina is trying to make sure she can keep it together. She is constantly being told to let go by her director, but she is so obsessed with making everything absolutely perfect she can't let go. Nina's life is now on the line because she is going insane over the need she has to make her dancing perfect.
This movie was a great film and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Darren Aronofsky's movies. This movie, I believe was not as good as Requiem For a Dream because I didn't feel there was enough story and enough character information given. Like why did Nina pick to fear Lily from the beginning what reasoning did she have for Lily? Why did Lily come to this place to dance what did she do prior to dancing at this studio? A little more information about what the mom went through when Nina was growing up? If there was a little more depth to the characters i think the movie would easily be a 10/10 but i am giving it a 8.5/10.
