And, this is my view..

I hate this movie (read: sexual scene!) -its personal.

I study about psychology, so, this movie help me to learn more about schizophrenia.

I cant forget the word she said,

"I just want to be perfect"

I think this word is so near to me. I mean, I also want to be perfect just like on my standard list about 'girls must be' in my mind. Ups, but this is not about me, this is about her! (look the poster)!

Who is she? she is Nina (Natalie Portman), beautiful ballerina, ambitious, sexual naive, mental illness, ugly duck who change to black swan! "She lives with her difficult mother who abandoned her own stagnant ballet career on being impregnated by some heartless, mercurial mogul or other, and channelled her rage and disappointment into coaching the resulting daughter, whom she has attempted to infantilise by filling her pink bedroom with gonks and installing a deplorable musical box that tinkles the theme from Swan Lake." ---this statement from wikipeda, huaa.. i need translate! (well, the risk for amateur english student!--point me)

Well, forget about the translate -for me-. Back to story!

Nina, want to play on "Black Swan" playing the character's evil twin. She has to find the darker of her self and also her sensual side. And.. she 'success' : touching self, sexual dreams with Lily, and be a naughty-rebel's girl! She become so worried  about a weird feathery skin-rash and becomes convinced that her reflection in the mirror continues to stare at her after she has turned away. This make her, crazy!

I give this movie 2 starts from 5. Only for : the act of Natalie Portman, that was so totally, she make her self dance ballet beautifully!

dont watch this alone, or better not watch.
