Black Swan, it's not for everyone

This review is on Black Swan, a film starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis. I have been waiting a while to see this movie, when it was released the closest place I was able to see it was in Denver. Amongst the waiting there was very little publicity for this movie, even when I asked around about it not many people had even heard of it. Well today I looked at what was playing and there it was, so I immedeatly jumped at the opportunity to see this movie. This film isn't for everyone, just like the ballet. Well this movie is about a ballet dancer named Nina (Natalie Portman)and the struggle within herself. Like the role she is handed there are two parts to Nina, there is the good pure angel whom is uptight and unsure of herself. And then there is the dark twisted seductress. And let me tell you this movie is dark. Natalie Portman did an excellent job with her character, from beginning to end you can see the struggle and slowly giving way to the darkness that was building within. Mila Kunis was also amazing, its kinda hard to tell that she was the same chick who played in That 70's show. Her acting has matured quite a bit, her nomination for an academy award was well deserved as was everyone else. Black Swan is not getting the attention it deserves, I would not recommend taking children to this movie. But go into it with an open mind and indulge yourself into the world of this twisted story. The only thing I didn't care for was how grainy the film was, but I assume it was meant to be shot in that manner. Again this is all just my opinion don't let it persuade you in any way shape or form. I give it a 4 out of 4. The guy in me says to give it a 3 1/2 because there was no nudity but that wouldn't be very professional of me would it? The more I think about it the more I like this movie just for the sheer fact that I like movies that make you go "What the F**K was that?" I embrace the bizarre and movies that like to go out on a limb and try change. ...now that I think about it this might be the first 4 I have given...hmmmmm.
