Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan

[theokou]

Black Swan follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter's professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

Klint Mansell again is doing the score
Mila Kunis

 

[Jedah Kalm]

Aronofsky is a writing/directing god.
Clint Mansell is a musical genius.
Been in love with Natalie Portman since "The Professional" (same age)
I will be seeing this.

 

[meth head]

Looks interesting will more than likely go see that

 

[Matt S]

Looks way more interesting that I would have thought...glad to see Portman has escaped gl and has a great career

 

[karamazov80]

Aronofsky is talented, but over-rated. May see this on Netflix.

Did you hear those ____ing strings! Clint Mansell is one of the best working. Can't wait to hear the whole score.

I was pissed when Aronofsky left Robocop for this but I'm very pleased with the feel of what I'm seeing. I would have seen it regardless, but I'm a little less pissed right now.

 

[Biojex]

Sounds interesting. I'm a big fan of Darren Aronofsky.

 

[meth head]

still not seen The Wrestler yet

still not seen The Wrestler yet

You know what's coming...

 

[meth head]

it's just never grabbed me as one i must watch i don't know why

 

[karamazov80]

It is incredibly depressing, though from my understanding, it is a pretty accurate portrayal of a washed up pro rassler. Not a profession I would want to pursue. The gloomy, depressing, but "realistic" movies like Precious and the Wrestler entertained me much more when I was younger.

 

[The Entity]

That trailer looked great! It had a very creepy and disturbing vibe to it!! I'm probably gonna see this in the cinema!

still not seen The Wrestler yet

Me neither.
I have seen Requim For A Dream a long time ago, like 7 or 8 years and don't remember much about it, and I saw The Fountain last year. That was OK IMO.

 

[LChinoz]

The Fountain is Aronofsky's worst IMO. He is a talented director though.

 

[agen_kolar]

I haven't seen any of his big films, I guess. But this one looks intriguing...

 

[meth head]

i haven't seen any of his movies actually

 

[wofford29]

The Fountain is Aronofsky's worst IMO. He is a talented director though.

I think it's one of the most beautiful films of the past decade.

 

[Jedah Kalm]

The Fountain is my favorite movie - ever. Probably because of the simple fact that the main theme is accepting death, and death is the one thing in this existence that I fear and cannot accept.
It also has the most beautiful original score I've ever heard. It even beats out the score to Solaris imo. I listen to it quite a lot.

 

[plasmid303]

I like Aronofky's films. This one looks promising. Having both Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in it helps.

 

[shiveringmelody]

i haven't seen any of his movies actually

and here I thought you was cool, based on the inception customs

requiem and the wrestler are two of my all time favs, but whatever floats your boat

 

[The Mike]

I have seen Requim For A Dream a long time ago, like 7 or 8 years and don't remember much about it

I only remember Jennifer Connelly's full frontal....

This has Mila and Natalie making out...its a definite watch....on Netflix....
