Black Swan: Not a movie but an Experience

Okay first things first. The movie is one of the finest that i have seen in the past 5 years or even beyond. So if you want you may stop reading right now and start booking the Tickets. There is nothing about the movie i did not like. Every single thing. Every Single Frame. Every Single Twist. Every Single Turn. Screenplay, Direction, Performances, Cinematography, Art Direction, Background Score. Every single thing was absolutely perfect. Natalie portman delivers a once in a lifetime performance and is absolutely wonderful. This is one of the very few movies which actually got me so badly hooked that i had goosebumps and was almost trembling in excitement. It was as if the movie was taking place 'inside' me. Its like watching a play from the wings (if you havent been on stage then as if you are watching it from the first row). I can go on and on and on (and will) So just book it as soon as possible. Don't waste the movie on a DVDrip. Please watch it in a theater near you because that is where it deserves to be experienced.

Black Swan is the story of a ballerina who is trying to portray a once in a lifetime role of a white AND black swan. She has everything which takes to be the 'white' swan but does not have the darkness needed to be the black swan. The movie is about her being transformed from the white swan to the black swan on-stage as well as off-stage. How the play takes over her life and how the transformation takes place. How she goes from being her mother's cute little girl to a complete bitch. Now whether her real life is taking over her performance or her performance is taking over her real self. That is the question. This is just an introduction since i do not disclose much on the story in most of my reviews. Watch it to believe it. The story is a starting point where the brilliance begins.

As already updated, Natalie delivers the performance of her life. I mean its hard to believe that she is the same girl who once played Padme Amidala in Star Wars as a 15 year old youngster. She has matured so much and it shows. I cant think of anybody else who could have played the role better than her. May be Hillary Swank but she is too hard for the 'white swan' and NAtalie is just brilliant. She is so believable in the role. She has worked so hard on the part learning ballet etc and all her hardwork pays and shows on screen. Her performance takes the film to a different level altogether. *Respect*

The Screenplay is the next star attraction. The movie has some of the best edge of the seat moments. Last year i thought shutter island had the same magic but this beats it by far and i mean by far. Every single frame. Every single Twist and Turn is just purely magical. There are no 30 seconds where you could take a sip from your cold drink (which literally happened with me, i could not finish even half of my cold drink through out the movie). Absolute Gem.
The Direction is phenomenal, the art direction (especially given the fact that only white, black and pink were used mostly ) is superb and the background score was ohhh my god. There are hardly any other instrument except a violin and a piano is used and still it weaves such a magic around the film that it almost feels like the central character. I dont think the movie would have had such an amazing effect had it not had the most brilliant background score possible.
Overall : Its an experience rather than a movie. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

Feel-O-Meter: 10/10 (Yes, i couldnt find a single wrong thing about the movie so can't deduct a single point anywhere)

PS: I was so excited to write the review that i cancelled everything and rushed back home just to write the review. Though i watched The Fighter earlier than this but still thought this deserved to have been written about before :)
