Black Swan - My review

This past weekend I went to see the much talked about Black Swan. The story of a ballet dancer who
Black Swan Posterwins the lead in Swan Lake only to slowly loses her mind and fall into madness. Sounds like my type of movie.
For those you have not seen it yet, you may want to stop reading now.

While watching the movie I had many questions.
1) How can a movie that is entirely about ballet not have one gay man in it? I have been to the ballet trust me gay men are everywhere
2) Natalie Portman looking constantly in a state of shock and /or confusion. I thought at any moment her eyes would pop or she would break down in tears.
3) Every time Mila Kunis was on the screen, I could only hear Meg Griffin from the Family Guy.
4) The "big" scene everyone is talking about.  All I could think why would they do that with her mother in the next room. In that tiny NYC Apartment? I understand the twist later on in the movie, still it was strange.
4) That painting room? Who cares? Why did this upset Natalie Portman's Nina so much.
5) Who knew you could do that to your face with a nail file (re: Winona's hospital scene)
6) Why were her toes stuck together and what was that thing that she pulls out of her shoulder blade and why did her eyes go red?
7) How could she stab herself in a white dress I might add, and not one drip of blood show until the very end of the dance?
I am not sure how much I liked this movie.  Would I see it again -no, I'm glad I saw it, but I think the SNL skit that air this past Saturday was pretty dead on with how at times this movie was completely ridiculous

  1. Maybe her hair being pulled back too tight caused her to always look that way.

    I'm bummed. I kinda wanted to see this movie.

  2. Go see it, it was worth it. I think that I saw it after all the hype was made about it, so I was expecting too much. It is just a movie that I wouldn't see again.
