Watched it, didn't really enjoy it
Black Swan - New Darren Aronofsky Movie

Definitely Kunis you silly man
Yep, Portman used to be very hot, she really doesn't suit skinny though.
I think that was partly the idea, that was why the producer was constantly at her to loosen up.
Haha, slightly disappointed when I saw it, I heard loads of things about it being graphic etc. Then I noticed it was a 15.... Not much to prude out about really. I reckon the 15 was more for the psycohorror than the sexual content.
The question my friends and I came out with though was SPOILER!!! whether she actually did stab Beth? I assumed it was a figment of her imagination until she dropped the nail file in the lift...
SPOILER!!!
She didn't stab Beth though, she stabbed herself didn't she? The way I understood it was the stress of the role had affected her in the same way which is why she stabbed herself (Hence her injuring herself in the car crash).

what i took from the film, was she went crazy, so she could be perfect, and be able to do the black swan role perfectly, as well as the white swan role perfect, and hence be perfect
SPOILER
Sorry I really don't understand what you mean.
Beth is the girl in the hospital right (Winona Ryder(sp?))? She gets injured in the car crash and gets taken to hospital where Nina goes to visit her (and the whole face stabbing goes on) then she drops the file in the lift as she runs away. Later on her and the "other" girl fight in the dressing room and Nina stabs herself.

**SPOILER?!?**
You'll notice that Beth is still stabbing herself as Nina leaves the room, and then you see her drop the file in the lift, which implies that she might've been the one stabbing Beth all along.
Anyways, I loved the film and I completely side with Natalie Portman on the lady front. She was incredibly hot when her hair was down
Saw this at the weekend and whilst I thought it was a good film (and Portman was great), it was a bit dull and predictible. I honestly think that if exactly the same story had been based around any other form of dance (I appreciate that it would be difficult to do as no other form of dance can really compare to being a ballet dancer and part of a ballet company), there wouldn't be the hype that this has got. It was just: girl + job with high pressure + mental instabilities = crazy scenes. The fact that it has been paired with the beautiful dancing and stunning music of ballet, seems to have made this film better than it really is. A good film but overhyped

also when she drops the file there is a finger nail next to it, which to me says he is hallucinating

You can add Aronofsky fanboys to that list.

That's what I think. Nina actually stabbed Beth.

I hate these BS films where you don't really know what's happened.
Arnie films are so simple although Last Recall had me going a bit.

The whole film wouldn't have worked without the ballet though it is intrinsic to the plot, the metamorphsis that nina goes through in becoming the black swan on stage is mirrored in real life with horrific consequence take away the ballet and you loose the whole idea driving the film.
I agree the film has been over hyped but that is a problem for any film thet gets a dozen oscar nominations before it even hits our cinema screens and something I wish Holywood wood stop doing! Portman performance is however sublime and I hope she picks up the oscar she richly deserves and enjoys her time off!
