When K asked me to go see The Black Swan, I thought it would be just another chick flick. Sure I enjoy ballet performance on a stage, but on the silver screen? Beside, how many ways can you tell the same white swan, black swan story?
However, I was pleasantly surprised. The story captured my attention right from the beginning. At the end, with the loud applause of the (artificial) cheerful and jubilant audience on the silver screen, I found myself among the (real) stunned and silent audience in the theatre.
Some parting thoughts:
1. Transformation can be painful.
2. There may be a hefty price to pay.
3. Are you willing to take the risk?
4. Are "you" still "you" after?

Space: Do you like it?
Best Actor: So true !!!
Hari big brother I am not at that level to watch a live ballet on stage YET!
If you were expecting a regular chick flick, the story must have came as a total surprise for you.
I saw the Black Swan trailer and I have to admit I am not a big fan of this type of dark story even I know Portman put in a lot of hard work to learn to dance ballet well.
I ended up digging up my copy of "The Company" and had fun watching that instead for the ballet performances.

Space: I am not a regular subscriber either but do enjoy the Nutcracker etc.

I didn't watch the trailer, so the story was a total surprise to me.
