Last weekend my friend and I went to see Black Swan
Unfortunately I'm not quite sure what I thought of it. Many people had told me in advance that it was quite scary but I didn't think it was! Yes there was some creepy and jumpy moments and one or two when I turned away but it was what I thought!
Natalie Portman was fantastic although I didn't like the character she played, to be honest I didn't warm to any of the characters which is possibly why I didn't enjoy it so much
One thing I did come away thinking.... I certainly won't complain about wearing high heels seeing what ballet dancers put their feet through!!!
my mum saw this and really enjoyed it. I must admit its not something that i hugely want to see. I'll probably watch it on dvd x
ReplyDeleteThere's loads of films out at the moment that I want to see. Unfortunately, we don't get to the cinema very often so they'll probably be out on DVD before I see them.
ReplyDeleteI've not had chance to see this yet, but what you said about high heels made me laugh. I did ballet until I was about 18 and my feet have never been pretty since! Gosh it used to hurt! x
ReplyDeleteHmmm yeah I was wondering about this movie. Natalie is so talented for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat film made me squirm...but I think Natalie gave a wicked performance...strange little number..xxx
ReplyDeleteI love Natalie but this looked weird!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go and see it! I love Mila Kunis xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if this is one i want to see or not! Probably a cheap dvd jobby :) looks very bizarre! I can deffo recommend the kings speech though if you haven't seen it already! xx
ReplyDeletethis was on my list of films to get on dvd, but the more I hear about it, the more I think 'maybe not'.
ReplyDeleteI bought some pointe shoes on ebay a couple of years ago, just to hang around the house as decoration. My genius plot was to get them in my size, wear them around the house to scuff them up and look worn, then pretend that I had been a dancer at some point in my life.
Ha. Not a chance. Those things are the work of the devil, and I could barely walk a few steps. How anyone can dance in them is beyond me. They are cruel. And I've hobbled about in some nasty heels in my life, but they don't compare!
Thanks for your comment yesterday, it made my day! I thought people would think me totally sad for setting up pics, but I so enjoy it. Last year I snaffled an idea from The Lady, and the ballet shoe pic idea I have on the side bar is snaffled from a Laura Ashley advert!
have a lovely evening. I know I must owe you a squillion emails, but you know what I'm like xxxx
I had the same reaction as you. I definitely did not like any of the characters in this film (which is probably why I feel so "meh" about the film) and I'm not sure why this film is receiving so many accolades (other than Natalie Portman's performance, which is, indeed, very good). I too, expected it to be scary and like you, found it not to be. Ballerinas sure do go through a lot of physical torture for their art, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI might have a go at this when it comes out on DVD! You have reminded me I need to see if any of my shoes fit yet!!
ReplyDeleteHoping to see this next week. Certainly there seems to be a big variation of opinions on it. I'll let you know what I think! x
ReplyDeleteI am off to see that this weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy freind asked me to join her, I thought it looked a bit odd. Em x
