No wonder that "Black Swan" received 14 Oscar nominations this year. After watching the movie, you can’t help leaving the theater wanting to discuss what you just watched. Here at Glamurama the feature film generated a lot of controversy. With that in mind, we decided to go after those who understand the subject to hear more technical reviews.
* Thiago Soares, first dancer of the Royal Ballet in London, said he that, as a movie goer, he really liked the movie, thought it was well directed and that Natalie Portman was amazing. As a dancer, on the other hand, he had a different opinion: "People in ballet know that Natalie Portman arrived at such a mental disarray that doesn’t really happen in our everyday life."
* Thiago also made a point of commenting on the relationship between choreographer and dancer: "Today, at least here in Europe, the teacher can’t even touch the knee of the dancer to fix a movement. The choreographer guides with his voice alone, there is no physical contact like it appears in the movie."
* Ana Botafogo noted that "Black Swan" isn’t just about ballet: "It’s more a psychological film about the possibilities of the human mind. They used dancing to the plot, but the truth is that it could be any profession. " Ana added that Vincent Cassel, who plays the Natalie’s choreographer in the movie, is great. "His posture, the care with which he touches the dancers, everything was very well done. If I hadn’t known he was an actor I would have believed that he is indeed a real choreographer. "
* As for Natalie’s moves, Ana recognizes the efforts of the actress, but notes: "The tricks that made her look like a ballerina were very well done, only those who understand dance can tell she is not professional. For example, in the movie’s dance class, her arms and head positions are very good, very smooth and you can see she worked very hard, but that doesn’t make her a prima ballerina. In a scene, for example, she sits and stands in a way that you know she’s not really a dancer. A professional wouldn’t do it like that, you know. "
