First off this has been in my queue for awhile slowly creeping to the top thru attrition. Well the movie at the top was not available so they send this as it is next in line. I have had it since Friday almost avoiding it. Seeing how I like to keep the movies coming I watched it tonight. Wow! Is All I can say. It has blown me away. It is a weird psychosexual paranoid thriller. If you have been putting off watching this movie because of the Ballet, don't. It is a pretty amazing piece of film making. Wow! Just Wow! If my endorsement isn't enough to intrigue you, there is a pretty graphic lesbian exchange between Kunis and Portman. But by all means that is not the highlight of the film. Can't believe I just typed that last sentence.

I'm sold...will check it out this weekend.
Figures...the two big hollywood movies I've been excited about seeing lately, "True Grit" and "Inception", were both a bit disappointing to me...and then a ballet movie is the sleeper hit! -
Yea, I thought it was great. A real mind fsck.Comment

Here is a review
http://www.henrymakow.com/black_swan.html
ANALYSIS
Black Swan is a movie about mind control and demonic possession. Its main message is that you can't achieve greatness without selling your soul to the devil and connecting with the evil inside.
Nina's controller is her mother. She was unable to develop and is still a child psychologically and sexually. Her bedroom's wallpaper is covered with butterflies, a reminder of Monarch programming.
When she is ripe and technically disciplined, her handler, Leroy ("The King" in French) enters her life and introduces her to evil, with the help of Lily (Lilith?).
He seduces her but doesn't have sex with her. He just awakens her lust and greed. In a key scene, we see Leroy and Nina at his flat, where a stylized Baphomet is displayed on the wall.
Her gala night also takes place in a building where we see a huge statue of a black angel, obviously Lucifer. Nina is being invited to Satan's side, and the reward is fame and success.
There are occult signals all over the movie, starting with the black and white duality and going through mirrors.
Nina and her mother have their mirror images switched in one scene, meaning the mother has to program the daughter to be a replica of herself.
In the end, when Nina shatters the mirror, it means she broke her personality in multiples and is ready to be possessed. She graphically changes into a demon in the screen.
It is very possible that Portman will get an Oscar for the role, in confirmation of what the movie teaches. She is an insider. That would make the movie more a ritual than fiction, much like Madonna's kiss on Britney Spears. On the internet, Portman is well known as a mind control puppet.Comment
