Natalie Portman shot me in the chest with a shotgun

Went to the cinema with inmemorybound tonight to see Black Swan. It was absolutely amazing, and terrifying. The best way I can describe my reaction is by saying I feel like the moment in a movie where the character has been shot in the chest and is kind of staring at it in disbelief, without pain, just shock at the sight of blood.

Do go see it. It's wonderful. (But not if you can't stand psychological tension and some horrible stuff, too, okay? No nightmares please!)

I saw this when I was in Canada. It is just about the very opposite of everything I like in films and I wanted to leave the cinema about half an hour in.

HOWEVER. Despite all that, even I could tell that it was incredibly well done and Natalie Portman was fantastic in it. She absolutely deserves the Oscar and the film deserves one for some of the very subtle effects, especially at the end.

Hey, it's Audrey from the meet up today.I saw Black Swan with my best friend over Christmas and we found it a bit ridiculous over all, but I did love how she was slowly turning into a real swan. I think that was my favorite part as well as all the hints at it.
