Black Swan Great Expectations


Swan Lake Pyotr Tchaicovski of must be one of the most famous classical dance world.
tells the story of a princess who is turned into a swan by a sorcerer and becomes only woman in the evenings. A prince, who was out hunting, he falls for her, but the wizard uses a trick (an evil twin) to prevent it.
Black Swan (Black Swan, 2010), is a daring film and a little macabre. Whoever thinks
enjoy a film where the grace and beauty of ballet is the essence of it, be disappointed.
Ballet serves as a base only to tell the story of Nina (Natalie Portman), a dancer for a company that looks over the years without getting hit his jump to fame.
Nina's life, a young man dedicated to his profession, is sacrificed, lives, breathes, eats and dreams ballet. A girl-woman, living with a controlling mother, who projecting his shattered dreams.
The forced resignation of the star (Winona Ryder), will give you the opportunity to audition for dancer to Thomas (Vincent Cassel), the director of the company.
Nina's innocence makes it perfect for the role of the White Swan, but the director has his doubts about whether it is able to interpret the obscure Black Swan. Competition for the role is hard and his opponent Lily (Mila Kunis), the new and exotic dancer with which maintained a love / hate.
pressure from his mother, the director of competition and of itself, make a dent in the delicate point Nina can not distinguish reality from fantasy. And the audience, as she went into a quagmire, we get confused and surprised us. We see Nina
virginal, ethereal shed the White Swan and become the sensual and dark Black Swan. Shedding years of restrictions, bondage, suffering, shedding of the discipline, taking a path that will lead to self-destruction but also to perfection.
Natalie Portman is amazing. With her delicate body and classic beauty, her character transforms and makes an excellent interpretation. Although not all the scenes filmed ballet, sought to indicate the maximum and it should wipe out All prizes of the season.
The secondaries are also very good and make it a great movie. The music, the costumes, the choreography is perfect. The scene in which Nina plays the Black Swan, full of symbolism and expressiveness a large one is a beauty.
With strong and erotic scenes, is a psychological thriller where nothing is as it seems and that demystifies the image "pink" ballet.
And the dichotomy of White Swan / Black Swan, has as many fans as detractors. I caught it, but like other films of director Darren Aronofsky is not for everyone.
