Firstly, I love these types of movies. Bat shit everything! Darren Aronofsky directed Requiem for a Dream so you know it's on some trippy shit. I feel like Darren and I should be friends!
Anyway Natalie plays a ballerina who desperately wants the role of the Black and White Swan for her schools production. Like she really wants it. Vincent Cassel plays the studio director and he is AH-MAZE-ZING! Lemme get this out of the way...everyone was amazing and I loved it all. Mila I never cared for before...but now...I kinda do. Winona Ryder is my shero and so naturally you know I was screaming DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK in my mind (because I too am bat shit) every time she was on screen. Again, I am a sucker for dancing films, and yes the dancing was beautiful and believable that these girls are ballerinas but what I appreciate even more then that was that these girls are not ballerinas...they are actors. Dedicated ones. Determined ones. I appreciate the hell out of that. (side eyes the cast of How Do You Know)
I don't want to give anything away because it is a movie you get into whether you want too or not. I'm not going to lie I was confused as all hell but it all came together in the end...i think...maybe?? I'm actually going to stop thinking about it because now my head hurts. However, I wouldn't be mad at all if Natalie gets the Oscar nom for this role. I mean I felt it was kind of one-note ( director : be crazy!) but that doesn't mean she wasn't believable. I now no longer trust ballerinas but that's just a Tasha thing, I'll get over it.
More so then the performances, I believe the Director deserves a lot of praise. It takes a vision to take a script and make it come to life, which no doubt is difficult. And I'm certain he was on his actors ass to get every scene right. I'm not trying to suck Aronofsky's toes or anything but I like his work and his style. It was dark, it was eery, you got into Natalies mind without ever getting into her mind. Meaning, you dont' actually know what's wrong with her but you believe she is disturb. It had it's shocking scenes...a disturbing masturbation scene, a crazy lesbian scene, a lot of inappropriate touching scenes but whatever. I think I'm disturb because I laughed at a lot of scenes nobody else was laughing at?? I love movies like that! Yes bad things happen but that doesn't mean laughter doesn't. It was good and I'd see it again.
9/10 for being riskayyyeeee
