Black Swan....

I wonder whoever put this movie in the top 10 must watch list - was ever contrasted by any even a single being out there in the entire world!! U can love the movie, u can be captured, enamored and captivated by it or it can stir some unknown questions within or u can be lost in its plot and theme for days - but u can't be indifferent, u can't criticize it, u can't shun or forget it.

    Black Swan so to speak lives upto its glory in every single perspective. The director "Thomas" portrayed by Cassel lends a substance to the plot by his presence, the lead role girl "Nina" whose life is depicted in the plot, seemed too lost a character to me initially but  towards the end, the transition was remarkable along with the reasons of her being that way.
 
                The story progresses with the intense quest of Nina to be the queen swan - which needs two facets, the fragile, beautiful white swan and the sensuous, passionate black swan. Nina a very controlled and perfectionist dancer- is perfect for white swan but can't loosen her up for portraying black swan's role. Towards the end she discovers the perfection when she actually kills herself when the script demanded the black swan to die. Tragic end yet it leaves the viewer spellbound both on-screen and off-screen
when they are gripped with numerous questions of meaning, identity and existence of life.......

All in all a brilliant thought provoking movie, mesmerizing dances
and intriguing storyline......!!
