i think everyone can empathize with truly wanting something to that extent.

what was real to Nina? any of it? all of it? I'd like to watch it a second time to see if there are any context clues as to what is real and what is Nina's imagination. Portman's face is so expressive, so fragile in this movie. And her transformation into the black swan is amazing, couple with some clever visual effects. Her physicality completely changed in those moments.

even being a novice ballet watcher, you could tell a difference in the aggressiveness with which she was dancing. and the complete shift in persona.

is some of this movie cliched? yes. But this has to be a front runner for movie of the year.

I can't wait to watch true grit tomorrow.

it was a solid flick. wasn't exactly my favorite movie ever, but it was good. natalie portman is well deserving of any awards she wins and is nominated for, for this movie. she was great.

as others have said, you are left trying to figure out what was reality and what were hallucinations at the end.

and yes, a family from Houma helped to produce the movie. they weren't the sole producers, but were major contributing factors. i know them somewhat well. they are now producing a movie with Daniel Radcliff and another movie (Ides of March) with George Clooney.

SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!

At the end of the movie, when her mom was in the audience, did you notice if her hand was bandaged? I didn't think to look until it was too late.
