Black Swan talks about Nina Sayers, a sweet and shy young ballerina, whose life just met a turning point of being the prima ballerina for Swan Lake. While Thomas Leroy, the director and producer requires two-in-one dancer for black and white swan. Nina who fits perfectly for white swan has to track down her darkside to discover the other (as Leroy hints her to "go home and touch yourself...") During her quest of perfection, under the influence of her overprotective mother, she found herself in the verge of nervous breakdown by her lurid flash deliriums and overpressure routines. Then things just starts to get worse and worse.
As for the production, this is the Darren Aronofski's new masterpiece as everyone will call him the director of Black Swan instead of Requeim For A Dream. In my opinion, it is light year far better than other Oscar best picture's choices. We get even more than what expect from what we see in the trailer, Natalie Portman's potential performance; she has reached her supreme role now (after being remembered for Amidala for quite long time), semi-surrealistic horror scenes as much as uhm nosebleeding lesbian scene as well. This is the crash between two powerful components; high-class performance art and psychic investigation. That's the reason why the movie come out so hauntingly gorgeous. We can get to see every emotional details from faces, eyes and even the twisted crack of toes from the dances. Throughout the film, you'll fall into the verge of anxiety and fear of what's going to happen to her, even the nail clipping scene can make you pray. I once again had to praise Portman's performance, though she needs a double for her exotic ballet scenes but never at once seems lost or distracted when it comes to her part, especially when she fully portrayed the black swan. she is just not the same person. if i was a professional critic, i would give this 10 out of 10 as there is no faults i could detect. It is also hard to make a movie about ballet to be fun to watch for everyone.

We all have our darkside hidden deep down. We just don't know sometimes we need to use it.
