I was told that The Fighter is well worth going to the theater to see... Might do that tonight when the little woman gets home from work.

here is an excellent TeleSync version of The Tourist with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie... it had a few expected twists and turns to it, but wasnt a totally horrible waste of a few hours

I went to see the movie tonight - I hadn't clicked on that link. Turns out I texted you during that scene. :grin:

Darren Aronofsky is a major, major filmmaker. Natalie Portman is going to win an Oscar for this, you can bet your life on it.

Need to gather my thoughts before I say anything more. I am stunned.

Black Swan is now in my Top 5 favorite movies of all time.
 
Black Swan - I haven't seen Aronofsky's The Wrestler yet, but I can tell you what it's about - the corruption of body and mind through the unhealthy pursuit of the absolute (of God - obviously not the retarded Mickey Mouse version that was created to keep imbeciles docile, but the "ultimate basis of all thought and being" as per my online dictionary.) Every lead character in his movies is looking for perfection, for Beauty-with-a-capital-B, using various means (the abstract language of math in Pi, drugs in Requiem, movement/acting in Black Swan) - in doing so, they walk the very fine line between absolute lucidity and insanity. Aronofsky's characters are at the cutting edge of their discipline (if getting perfectly high can be considered a discipline) and their endless ambition makes them unable to relent. It's all black or all white.

"Live a little", Nina is being told repeatedly in Black Swan. Those who give her the advice don't know that she's captive of an overbearing, hysterical, resentful mother who lives vicariously through her dancing achievements and will not tolerate any flaw in her daughter. (BTW, this movie showcases every square inch of Natalie Portman's body, and it is in fact flawless.) "Living a little" will cause Nina to lose the delicate balance that allowed her to thrive in spite of the terrible emotional abuse.

I could go on and on but this is already too long. :dontbesuchawallay: Ridiculous performance by N. Portman who will win the Oscar for Best Actress, perfect casting of Mila Kunis as N. Portman's flip-side, great performance by Vincent Cassel (who was first discovered in La Haine, and whose character here is used as a decoy... I mean how can you trust a Frenchman with an accent?), and some insane mindfuck scenes as per D. Aronofsky's habit... and once again, the guy shows that he knows his drugs and that he knows how to work a camera to mimic the experience. That masterfully dubious skill of his was showcased plenty in Requiem For a Dream.

Every movie by this guy leaves me stunned for hours. This is on par with Requiem For a Dream - and that makes 2 Aronofsky movies in my Top 10 of all time.

Fiver, they almost make an escape..... on those bloodied knees of theirs, up the spiral staircase. but long story short, the korean gave up when given an opportunity to slice the nazi surgeon to death.... leaving the middle part of the centipede the lone alive one..... how fucked up is that.
