Okay here we have Nina (Natalie Portman) yelling at the artistic director Thomas (Vincent Cassel) because it appears that he has replaced her with a feathery and less graceful impostor. Don’t be fooled by the comic above, Black Swan is not a comedy, I just found a small gap where I could add some comedy in there.
Cinematic art most definitely flexes its muscle in Black Swan and the casting is excellent. The mood of the film made me feel like I was watching a live performance at times rather than an actual film. Natalie Portman(sorry SW fans I didn’t call her Padme) can add dancing to her resume just above ‘can blast battle droids’. 😉 Okay all jokes aside for a second, her performance as Nina is phenomenal, some people may not realize the skill that it takes to dance ballet. Black Swan is not your typical ballet/dance inspired movie, so please give it a chance and see it. If you do not enjoy the story then perhaps you can savor every bit of the artistic merit that went into this film.
