So, last night I watched Black Swan for the first time. I know I'm extremely late in seeing it, but when I saw the trailers in 2010, it creeped me out, so when it premiered I didn't want to go see it. But yesterday it premiered on cable television so I thought, what the heck, let's give it a gander.
Oh my.
Let's sort out these thoughts of mine.
First, I loved the ballet aspect. I have always loved anything about ballet, and I thought Natalie Portman & Mila Kunis did a fantastic job with portraying high-class ballerinas.
Second, I was shocked by the SEX. There were sexual references, sexual scenes, and I'm pretty sure the movie was rated at least PG-13 because of the sex theme. I'd completely forgotten about the lesbian scene between Natalie & Mila, as well. It shocked me. I thought it was disgusting. Yet intriguing. It was weird. That kind of thing goes against my Christian beliefs, but even still, I think it's just odd. Anyway.
The ending also kind of irritated me. You can't really tell if Nina (Natalie's character) lives or dies! The freaking scene just fades to white after she's bleeding on the floor. I want to believe, for my own sake, that she lives, because I love her.
And the whole psychological thing of the movie was super weird. I've seen it three times total and there are still some parts I don't understand. And Nina vomits like 4 times in the movie..
Overall, I thought the movie was great.
I am in love with Mila Kunis. Officially. She is beautiful & hilarious in interviews, and she's so real! I want to meet her someday and like, go out to eat or to a club or something. ;) I need to see her movie Friends With Benefits; it looks so funny! Every character she plays is just astounding.
Okay, it's 3:50pm, it might be a good idea to start my homework. I've got an APUSH project to do. Sad face.
Toodles!

Yesss! First time I saw this movie in the theater, I got up and left before the ending, It disturbed me so much that it almost made me cry. I absolutely loved the concept though, it was a genius movie, but I was so disturbed about how Nina let herself be taken over by just everything ah!
