Over break, I went to Texas to spend time with my family for ten days. During my time there, I watched three movies in theaters, Tron, Little Fockers and Black Swan. My favorite movie by far was Black Swan with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.
In the movie Natalie Portman plays an innocent young girl who tries out for the part of the swan in the ballet production. The swan character must be innocent at first glance, but beneath the surface they must be dark and twisted. Unable to pull off the dark and twisted side to the character, Natalie Portman finds herself struggling. Mila Kunis is used as a symbol of the darkness inside of Natalie Portman that she has to bring out. In the end, Natalie Portman must kill the darkness inside of her, and when she does, she dies too, after her perfect performance.
This movie is a psychological thriller that keeps you on edge and makes you walk away from the theater still thinking about what happened in the film. The artistic design used throughout this film is breathtaking and it has quickly become one of my favorites.
