BLACK SWAN
Against my better judgment (noting that I have 2 presentations this coming week, 1 test to study for which I have not started studying for, and 1 assignment to hand in) I went to watch Black Swan yesterday evening.
There's a reason why Natalie Portman won an Oscar for her role in the movie, but I didn't exactly enjoy her acting because there were many stiff moments and I thought I couldn't really distinguish between her anguished moments and non-anguished moments. To me I felt she was constantly constipated but well, not everyone can pull off such a role. There were gory bits (to me) so I was hiding behind my hands like 1/4 of the time and I bet the angmoh next to me was wondering what I was doing paying so much just to miss a 1/4 of the show.
But the amount of dedication that the actress put into the show is definitely praiseworthy. She's not a ballerina by training but being able to go en pointe with no formal training beforehand means she must have practiced and practiced and practiced a lot.
I'M IN SCHOOL NOW :< gonna rehearse for tomorrow's presentation. GONNA NAIL IT YES DORO GO GO GO
