The entire time I was watching Black Swan, I was thinking about Catherine Deneuve in Repulsion and in a smaller way Tom Courtnay and Albert Finney in The Dresser. The film is definitely flawed in many ways, but the manifestation of the character's mental problems and their parallels with her performance are fascinating and terrifying. Portman and Kunis play the ying and yang to perfection. Cassel is brilliant, as always and Hershey is perfect as the domineering mother. While I think it played out perfectly, some may not like the violence in the sexuality of the movie and others my grow tired of the endless dance sequences, but they both are integral in the story telling. Another beautifully filmed story by Aronofsky.
Most people I know do not care about knowing the truth or facts, they only care about being the one who passes along information. I wonder if I could privately ask people why they use social media (honestly), what their reason would be. I don't think people without a sense of humor, realize how much fun the world can be. Even during the hard times. So many of us spend time thinking of mistakes and regrets, but if we really think about it, we've probably dodged more bullets than missed boats. You know when you sit by yourself reading, sipping some coffee or tea and you don't think about anything, but what you're doing? That!
