The movie, "The Black Swan", is the story of a girl becoming a women. However it is told from the emotional point of view. So what we see on the screen is not meant to be taken literally but to be taken emotionally.
I was surprised how many took the details of the story literally. And they missed that this is a coming of age story that is common to all of us. We all experience the sturm und drang of growing up, of leaving our parents and finding romantic love and success or failure in work.
Yes, "The Black Swan", expressed perfectly the emotions associated with coming of age. In fact the movie was so good emotionally I would call it cathartic.
I liked this movie, too. Disturbing, but beautiful imagery and so well-acted by Natalie P.
Also recently saw True Grit, which I reeeally liked. A bit of a depressing ending, but not overly so, and Hailee Steinfeld was excellent in it.
Last night we watched The American. It was okay.
