Black Swan

I saw this movie last week, directed by  Darren Aronofsky, starring Natalie Portman as Nina, the prime ballet dancer.
The movie commences slowly, but as Nina unfolds the fight with herself, it takes movie to a whole new level. Some of the scenes in the movie are very well enacted and executed with perfection. 


Nina is chosen as the 'Swan Queen', comprising of the fragile and innocent White Swan and the sensuous Black Swan. Nina is perfect for the  role of White Swan but not as a Black Swan. She is chosen to be the 'Swan Queen', on the promise that she will perfect the role of Black Swan too. As the director of her ballet says she is very controlled, and needs to lose some control on herself and she needs to let go for herself to perfectly depict the Black Swan. She thinks that Lily(a character) wants to steal her role.....but as the movie progresses its interesting to note down her realizations
The movie shows the trauma of working in an over competitive environment, where everyone wanted to be the Swan Queen. In the end, she transforms herself into a black swan, which is when she realises that the biggest competition for her is herself.


It won many critics praises.


I have embedded a trailer courtesy- You Tube.



I would say its a must watch.
Go for it, if you haven't still!
