Black Swan

[helen]

Saw the movie Black Swan at the Ward Theatre this afternoon with a friend.

It is a strange movie to watch, it is about a ballerina trying to be the Swan Queen in the ballet Swan Lake. I don't think knowledge of ballet is required to watch this movie other than knowning the art of ballet exist.

All I can say if you are planning to watch two movies in one day, watch this one first and then watch some kind of light toned film like a comedy or animated movie afterwards.

Ooh, I've been wanting to see this. I like "different" movies. So would you recommend it, Helen?

Re: Black Swan

It is not my place to recommend or not recommend a movie, especially since the reason why my friend and I picked this movie to watch at a 16 plex that had other movies like The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Tron: Legacy, Little Fockers, True Grit, Yogi Bear, and Gulliver's Travels is that Black Swan was going to start in about 4 minutes and my friend had no desire to see the other movies that was being offered at the time.

That being said what I can tell you about Black Swan is that is not a whodunit but rather it is "who is going to get it". In that matter my first two choices of "who is going to get it" were wrong.

The movie shows a lot of foots, a minute or two of shaky camera movement, nail cutting and a few sex scenes.

Re: Black Swan

i thought it was a very well done movie but i have no interest in watching it again; the director was good at what he does; natalie turned in an excellent performance but it was a downer for me; i'd be much more interested in just watching the extras on the dvd, like how natalie trained for 10 months before filming began, etc...

just my two cents....
