BLACK SWAN IS APPARENTLY AMAZING, SOMEONE C/D
Blue Kitty:
My girlfriend was wondering about that too.
BUT HOLY FUCK, WHAT DID I JUST WATCH. I never really understood what was going on at any time.

e: question, though, i guess: is the movie's use of sexuality and sex exploitative?

I walked into it thinking it would be somewhat erotic, but when the things went down there was way too much going on for me to even think of it in a sexual way.

--- End quote ---
I was wondering this, too. It said in the movie she'd been with the company for four years, so I'm guessing around 22? (Assuming she got in at 18, but that happens with dancers, and also 28 is "old" according to Nina when she talks to her mom.)
But man, what a ride.
Spoiler Alert! When it comes to the mom, though, even though she is horribly overbearing and controlling, we don't know WHY though. She's obviously very concerned when she thinks Nina is scratching again and since the bumps on her skin are not real (her mom points out the scratches, not the weird rash), I think she's concerned with why Nina is scratching - possibly some bad tick? Both characters are troubled in their own way (her mom's paintings weirded me out, especially in the scene where she was crying as she was working on one), but at least the mom realizes that Nina's problems are pretty severe. End Alert!
Dimmukane:
Watching Natalie Portman go off the deep end in the last 30 minutes was one of the most riveting things I've ever seen. There were obviously huge parallels to Aronofsky's other movies, but the pacing in the last 30 minutes as she wavers between realities was impeccable.

Oh man, watching her become the black swan was so. good.
