Drugs, Ballet, and Lessons on How to Touch Yourself (Black Swan Movie Review)



Once you go black, you'll never go back.


Darren Aronofsky's staggering presentation of his point of view has become so constrained in Black Swan, every scene will certainly be savored with breathtaking suspense. His clever and cunning concept has achieved its goal of letting the viewers decode the truth lost in the protagonist's schizophrenic soul. Being a visionary that he is, the director has again exhibited his improved tone of tension within every frame that will surely make every sane mind question realism.



True to its erotic thriller theme and title, black pitch and dark production design were made obvious throughout the movie - a little predictable but quite understandable.  The arresting musical score "that punctuates each anxiety" in some horrifying scenes has helped a lot in reminding me to get back to my senses.  The film has had its share of weird moments; just consider Natalie Portman's stunning performance. Her multi-faceted portrayal of a tormented ballet dancer is a revelation that surely will ignite anxiety in every living swan in Hollywood.

Simply put, this film has exceeded every viewers' expectations... my expectations. The moment you see Black Swan, you'll be extremely terrified, I warn you: entertaining the idea of watching it again could blow your F'n mind.
