Top Comments of this video!! :3
this is one of my all time favorite movies. ngl a minor thing i loved about it was how the movie subtly encourages us to lean into the tendency for women to view each other as a threat, so all through the movie we think of Lily as Nina's rival and enemy. it's only at the end, looking back, that we realize she was genuinely her friend and probably the only person in the whole movie who had her back. sad đ˘

I used to be a competitive dancer - though no where near at that level. I pushed myself far too much and developed injuries that permanently disabled me. This movie resonates with me so much - the relationships that are founded on competition, the toxic nature of the industry and community, the unhealthy and deadly search for perfection. Natalie Portman knocked it out of the part and was so mesmerizing in the role.

Man, I was always so sad at how many people slept on this movie as a good horror film. Everyone just saw "ballet" and wrote it off. I LOVE this movie, and couldn't wait to buy it when it came out on DVD. I could easily watch this again any day of the week, and how there are so many powerhouse actresses in it: Natalie, Barbra, Winona, Mila, and even Ksenia. Love them all so much.

Love how you did an older movie thatâs been out for some time now. Black Swan is probably my most favorite movie of Natalie Portmanâs and made me see her as a recognized actress. The reality of her psychological break is often times true for people whoâve been put under intense pressure by their parents, themselves, & peers for years. The desperation for being âperfectâ can be all too relatable.

I was in a JUNIOR ballet company. One of the girls who was a senior in high school started bleeding through her pointe shoe on stage and kept dancing. The only reason nobody noticed is because they were already painted red. She did so many turns and finished the entire routine. When our director told us about it she then finished by saying âYou need to have this much dedication! This is what you should strive for!â I quit two years later.
