Black Swan

Last night, I went to see Black Swan with one of my besties... I was amped to see the movie because I heard that it was GREAT with just enough edge, seduction, thrill and suspense.  I never expected the movie to turn out the way it did from viewing the preview but I will say it is defnitely a must see...

Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman), a professional ballet dancer that still lives at home, sleeps in a room decorated for a 10 year old, is destined to be PERFECT at least in her eyes.  She practices and pushes herself to the point of no return... With the help of her overly possessive mother Erica, a former ballerina, Nina struggles with hallucinations while competing against Lily (Mila Kunis) for the role of The Swan Queen. With a dramatic ending, Nina lets go and creates her perfect ending.

Love this movie... Everyone struggles with perfection and almost never is it achieved 100% - there is ALWAYS something that needs to be tweaked until we convince ourself - we are satisfied. 

We are our hardest critics and the movie explains just that... our struggle between

satisfaction and perfection and when its time to just

LIVE LIFE...
