Watched Black Swan last night

I found the entire film to be quite compelling. The final act where the ballet takes place literally blew me away. Can't believe it's taken me until now to finally see this film. What does OT think?

Never saw it.

loved it. plus having the two hottest women in hollywood in it didn't hurt...

It's a great movie. The ballerine character played by Natalie Portman really took the concept of "taking one's performance seriously" to the next level!

It became my favorite movie of all time. It has absolutely everything that appeals to me; sexual, poetic, innocence, and dark.

I loved it. Ending was great.

It's a very special movie i liked it a lot , but the ending made me sad. :(

Was easily my favorite film of 2010.SaintLeonidas

Good film, reminded me of Perfect Blue

different strokes for different folks, i.e. you have terrible taste in women.:P

I loved it. Hollywood needs more movies like that which push the creativity bar.Shottayouth13-

We do but then people complain about how boring they are (Tree of Life)

Wins the award for most overrated sex scene.

SaintLeonidas

I enjoyed it. Ballet scene at end grabbed my attention.

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"][QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"] No no no no no no. That movie was utter f*ckery. Push the bar, but don't make it so that people can't understand sh*t.Shottayouth13-

So what you're saying is movies should strive in trying to be creative yet not become pretentious? Makes perfect sense to me.

[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"][QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] Well, most people did in fact understand 'The Tree of Life', more people than I originally thought would. The basic premise and themes of the story are rather easy to follow, and the rest just requires a bit of thinking. DharmaMember77

[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"] I understood it after I read the Wikipedia synopsis but the throughout the entire movie I was just wondering what the hell is going on. It's far too pretentious for my liking.Shottayouth13-

[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"] If people don't understand the movie, then what's the point?Shottayouth13-

That is exactly why I wouldn't call it pretentious, because the reason one could say it didn't "advance the cause" was because it is a deeply personal film.

But not sure why I've gotten myself in one of these debates again :lol:, it has been out for so long, and is such a polarizing film that to argue about it is typically useless because it, more than perhaps any film released recently, will not be understood or effect everyone equally which is understandable. I do recommend watching more of Malick's films if you haven't already. None are as "experimental" or artistic as 'The Tree of Life' but are fantastic.

It was good but I found it kinda a rip-off of fight club (you know what I mean)

i still have been meaning to see this movie

If you watch it backwards, it's about some crazy girl who gets cured by having sex with Mila Kunis.

Beautifully made, well acted. A million times better than The Fountain lol. Who likes that movie here?? biggest_loser

I haven't but it's a million times better than Requiem for a Dream
