Black Swan

The latest film I saw for the first time was Black Swan and oh what a film it was. Natalie Portman was amazing in it and now I realize what an amazing actress she is even though I saw her potential way back in the Star Wars Episodes era. It was clear to me way back then that I indeed was looking at a major super star and I was not wrong. She won Best Actress for this film and if you have not seen it, then I highly recommend it. Not only that but Winona Ryder appears in the film, cast in a supporting role, but none the less does an amazing job and I was very pleasantly surprised to see her in a modern film. The last film I saw her in was part of the Alien Anthology, although I have seen her in films made after that work of art and have even caught a glimpse of her in another modern film but without nearly as many lines as her most recent notable role in Black Swan. So watching it for those two reasons is a highly recommended thing to do but to top it all off Mila Kunis, from That ‘70s Show, also has a supporting role, albeit a much more highly significant supporting role. She is just amazing in it and I was so well entertained by her and her sense of humor that it reminded me of watching That ‘70s Show as she was the highlight of watching that show for me. Having said that, the two supporting roles of actress were the two most surprising to me since I had no prior knowledge of either of those two amazing actresses in either role. Now those two roles are not to and do not diminish Natalie Portman’s character, but they are like icing on the cake. In my opinion Natalie Portman does the best job but that is because she is cast in the lead role. Had either of the other two actresses been cast in her place I might feel differently but that is because I am in love with the other actresses as well. Natalie Portman definitely deserves this Academy Award winning film’s lead nod, because her role as lead actress is definitively worthy of the Best Actress Oscar.
