Black Swan (January 16th, 2011)

Mental.

The movie is disturbing. (I say 'is' because it's still fresh in my mind)
I don't even want to attach the poster and be reminded of what innocent ballerinas could turn out to be.

An article I read describes the movie as "psychosexual thriller" and I can't agree more. In fact, I think it should be crowned a horror movie.

- The skin peeling from index finger
- The face jabbing by the retired Little Princess
- The physio session where the therapist massaged Nina's ribs

Ew.

Another site mentioned the Black Swan movie as a 'cinematic portrayal of schitzophrenia'
Well it's schitzo all right.. a horrific, psychotic, unsympathetic.

Take your passion one step too far and it consumes you.

I don't know what to say about Portman. Ever since her ugly side in The Other Boleyn Girl, she's been on my freak list. I think she will reign #1 for a long long time.

Freak.
