SPOILER ALERT!
While I am here, I guess thinking to myself; wow that is not what I expected. To put it nicely, my mind feels gently disturbed, but in a great way. I loved it; the cinematography (not that I can spell or anything) was some of the best I have seen in a while. The acting was, well, in my opinion great. Maybe not amazingly spectacular, but about as close as I have seen in a very long while. I guess I'm using this post to go over everything I liked, and the maybe 2- 3 things I disliked. Hmm actually it may be less. Anyhow without farther a due -
To start, this movie is not exactly peachy clean. Darren Aronofsky did an incredible job making you disturbed but the end of the film, but through out it used rather subtle foreshadowing (minus one part but that comes later) So I guess my first little paragraph type deal is on the style of the film. Now, before I start, I enjoy more, how do you say it, disturbing? films. I enjoy the ma-cob, creepy styles of many films, and I love darker aspects to my movies. This movie has quite a few. Since I wrote spoiler alert (added may-haps 10 seconds ago) I guess I can now say what. To start, there is not a lot of death in this movie. It is a psychological thriller, not a happy go lucky ahh everyone dies sort of film. I dislike thrasher everyone dies flicks usually (the old ones occasionally make me happy though) But the way he makes you creped out is terribly affective. Honestly, I almost have a sick sort of pleasure-full feeling after watching it. Anyhow, the gist is he did a phenominal job, and I loved it.
Some scenes I really enjoyed based on the style of filming. The dance scenes were done brilliantly. The way the camera did some of the angles was gorgeous. Also the use of symbolism for blood , and black and white was very apperent. I almost think they stole the symolism out of macbeth, for it reminded me heavily of that. They were obvious symbols, but nicely done I must say.The use of contrast was very very well done aswell, though it was sort of the basis of the film.
Alrighty, the acting. It was, well natalie portman did wonderous. Her performance was amazing. The mother , not that I remember the actor, was creepy and scary and did great. The instructor was decent, he did not have a very large role but for what he had he did well. Whomever played beth caught my attention, she was interesting, I am not sure if it was good per sa but nice to watch? I guess.
Alrighty, so that is what I enjoyed about black swan. The things I did not like were the guessable ending and some of the graphic scenes, but mostly it was inredble. Okay so I am done, byebye!

Thoughts ;
This is on my iPod touch so bear with me, I have had an incredibly epiphenous day today. To start pants are incredibly pointless and stupid. No one loves pants.
Second of all I am getting worse at sleep yet feeling more awake. This does not for the life of me make any god given sense. Why would it be that less sleep is making me more refreshed and alert? I wish I knew!
Third the skies have become increasngly well... Gorgeous. They have honestly became photographic almost every day, dawn and daybreak. I do not know what causes all those viBrant colours but I wish I knew.
Hmmm fourth I have noticed a ton more birds as of late. Literally everywhere I have seen seagulls, birds, ravens, pidgeons, every such flying creature on any such object I encounter. I do not enjoy this new side to Powell river; not one bit!
~ Now some of my thoughts on a future viewsing. As anyone whom knows me incredibly well knows, I love movies. Honestly ever so often I will probably rant about a movie until a post just basically becomes a review. I dunno I've just always liked movies. Tomorow I am going to watch the black swan.
My anticipation is erupting as it has been the last few days since my BF said he would take me. It looks incredible. The two main highlights I've heard are the film styles , and the plot. The acting is supposed to be decent, and I've heard nothing about the score though it is about ballet so; think classical. Everyone I know (almost) has been ranting, raving or mentioning this movie somehow, I'm almost thinking new Scott pilgrim; across the unniverse mayhaps? Indie like film ( though this one is not indie just off beat) (actually I doubt those two were either they were just filmed very indie like) pop cilulture status icon film.
Okay , I am tired! Good night !

A brand new day
Well today was the start of a new semester at my lovely school, since this is more just to get in the habit of writing, I'm just going to shortly explain my four classes than go back to attempting to figure out how this game maker works; it seems not very confusing, but really not all that easy.
C- Math, sort of an amazing class, my teacher I am rather sure is a genius. He has serious genius qualities, it is rather incredible. The people in it are rather great as well. I rather enjoy it. Today we learned basic BASIC review, like rather stuff we had learned way back in grade 9. Ridiculously easy if I do say so myself. Thank god it is over for the day though- my only class with homework.
D- VIDEO game design, which I must say is rather incredible. I think if I actually apply myself this will be the most amazing est class ever ! :)
B- Was law, the teacher is sort of known as being a fun teacher; always. I think I will enjoy this block, honestly if not just for the distractions in it.
A- English, which is rather, well fun. Everything I had heard about the teacher has been a tad bit, well harsh, but so far she seems incredibly nice. I actually enjoy English, so I think this class will be fun!
Alrighty- that was my day, if I have some inspiration I shall post later! :)
