Black Swan (2010)
8/10
I'm still a Coppelia kind of guy...

I feel bad for not reviewing this sooner but I think enough people have already done that.

I want to stress that when my dad took me to see this movie, I knew absolutely nothing about it except the title. I assumed it was some kind of spy code-name or something like that.

I so wish I could experience more movies this way...rather than research them myself and going in knowing the concept because absolutely no one else in my life actually watches movies. Seriously.

There were these two mature women behind us and I am like 90% sure that they had not researched this movie and went in thinking it was going to be like Ballet Shoes or something. I could here their reactions but in all fairness to them they stayed the whole way.

There's one particular moment where I'm like "oh...it MUST be a dream" and that is when it stopped being powerful (for the moment) because it suddenly went a bit too Harry Potter and lost a lot of its this-world power though having said that, you never really know what's going on in this movie.

I'm sure we could have an argument about what was a dream and indeed what was not and I seem to have minority opinions on that point.

It annoyed me when those chicos just generalize ballet...

It's great to see Padme actually getting some work though obviously it is better to not recognize any actors in a thing.

It's rare that I review a movie and do not actually...review it but I think you know already that this is an experience and a half.
