Happy Birthday Verses 21

Fight Club for girls: Black Swan

For some 'of years here, the fact that a film wins an Oscar and' become more 'a sign that something brand you can trust a little, rather than a seal quality 'as in reality' would be. If someone says "Ah, but the movie / actor / actress has taken the Oscar!" it immediately begins to doubt the goodness' of the work. And Black Swan is not affected by this law now universal.

Nina (Natalie Portman) and 'a young (?) Dancer who aspires to leading role in the ballet "Swan Lake". Nina despite being clever and 'too little and virginal woman to address the dual role that history: while the white swan is from God, the role of the black swan that is the dark lady, is not their own. And who is surprised about this, to see her room pink-barbie, full of bunnies and porcelain dolls and considering the mother (an unrecognizable Barbara Hershey) that is over-protective 'him like he had another 10 years?
to try to pull out his personality 'of a woman and with it its dark side, we think Vincent Cassel in the role of director-choreographer Mephistophelian that two or three times even manages to poke his tongue in his mouth, but always for the duty at work.
The unexpected friendship-rivalry 'with Lily, another dancer more 'great and a lot more' uninhibited, it makes things even more 'complicated' cause Nina begins to have visions in which all the characters you are involved including, much to not understand 'when it comes to reality' or psychosis.

Envy, professional jealousies, hidden passions, paranoia and influences of personality ', there' s a bit of everything. The film in itself 'is not at all boring, thanks to the dance scenes, moves well without moments of boredom but' make the inevitable comparison with the explosive masterpiece by David Fincher "Fight Club" and ask, "There would be Black Swan if it were not for the first Fight Club? ".

Nina 's a bit like a character in Edward Norton who does not know that they are doing everything himself. Even though Nina does not have its own version of Tayler Durden splits and other projects often on what 'but that does to' itself. Nina also seeks his freedom ', his new identity', disconnected from the stereotype that everyone, including whether 'it are you. As in Fincher's film are not only psychological but physical injuries while in Fight Club you break your face punched, there are mysterious Black Swan in skin diseases of nervous origin which at times are just hallucinations. In both films are two clear messages: "You can not delegate decision-making power over your life to others" and also "everyone is entitled to its unique 'independent of their origins." Finally, in both films the consequences the duplication of research and psychological interior are real and especially irreparable! But the difference is 'that Fincher's film was all told with irony and disbelief' as in "Black Swan" the horror of psychosis (even if it is never named) and 'tragic and real, there's' blood, becomes almost boring in the end.

There are some things not very believable in the film, the kind that Nina has no friends or friends to confide in, which tell of the horrific nightmares he has. And then the absurdity 'of the skin disease: why' spending so much money in a cream-covered instead of going to a dermatologist? And then I do not doubt that Natalie Portman is good but I honestly try to pass it to a 19 years old and 'a bit' too risky 'cause it has almost 30 years. Funny that Nina criticize the mother saying that at 28 his career was over as a dancer while in reality 'she' already 'more' that 29 year old!

I find it somewhat 'unnerving Portman's face, ever contract in a grimace of pain but can not communicate passion or desperation or fear or who knows' cock. Watching the film you wonder if the Oscar was for "best face frowning "...? I also feel that the director would actually 'a copy of the young Audrey Hepburn and Portman can not' be another actress.
Vincent Cassel knows how to make good its share of bewitching a man and manipulator. It is not clear good because 'citing Benjamin Millepied between actors (not 1 / 2 first floor ... and' always on the sides of frame), maybe just because it 's become the partner of Portman. Mila Kunis rather good in the role of Lily, and 'funny despite the rivalry' with the main character (indeed, almost tifiamo for her). A surprise for the series "Night Shift" and 'Wynona Ryder in a cameo by the dancer at the end of his career: his face half-covered and constantly' a disturbing presence, almost like the child of "Ring". Together with the already 'mentioned Barbara Hershey (horribly disfigured by botox), gives the stories a minor-ish flavor to Aldrich, "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane," which if you think about is blood run cold.

A technical note on the excellent range of colors that dominate the film are cold and very few, very light and incredibly dark, makes the atmosphere claustrophobic. The red appears only on the first stage, the yellow orange appears only in the seduction scene between Lily and Nina.

there or am I doing?

We have indeed!
Overall
Black Swan 'interesting, leave a message, but somehow lacks the bite that made a legendary movie Fight Club. Even without Oscar, Fight Club, 'was like a grenade in the brain, has changed the lives of many people (including this writer) with his enlightening as in situations where there is a theater of shadows Sinhalese our reality' of all day. Black Swan a few years may be remembered as a great horror movie or a soap-schizoid to post frigid teenager (whose interpreter was not so much post-adolescent), thanks to the noise produced by the OSCE. We'll see.
