great movie.

i wrote this on another forum: (sorry its out of contex)

i really enjoyed the movie i have to echo others who said the film is meant to be operatic. really, i saw the film as a pop culture celebration of the power of the fine art of ballet. It is a kind of hybrid film that I don't think should be compared to hitchcock. To me it's a primer to ballet and opera, somewhere in between film and that. Someone in this thread said that this movie is a great introduction to ballet for people who otherwise might not have the stomach for it - totally agreed. The film succeeds in its communication of motion, and the score is fantastic, and I think it does what it set out to do with flying colors - ie, give a first person perspective of swan lake which successfully hybridizes both the art and spectacle of ballet with the art and spectacle of film. bravo! and totally agreed about natalie portman being the perfect 'debutante' for this role.

I was reading an article in the National Post, stating that there was some rejection of this film by people in the ballet world. But Aronofsky had said that Swan Lake itself (among other ballets) is actually very dark and Gothic - like the film. Which yeah, I think is awesome. I watched it twice in the same day.

I've only come across one other person besides myself who didn't really care for it, so I think that's saying something. Natalie Portman was absolutely amazing though. I don't know who her competition is for the Oscar, but they have their work cut out for them.

She was just bursting at the seams the entire movie. I wanted to scream for her so many times. Perfection.

the whole finger nail thing was gettin to me. funny how i can watch someones head get ripped off or someone lose an arm and not flinch. but a finger nail nik and im cringin.


also love the old man scene on the subway...thats me in 40 years
