Black Swan



Black Swan
  It was around October of 2010 when I saw for the first time the Black Swan trailer, and I just knew it was going to be an amazing film. I finally saw the movie a couple of weeks ago, and I wasn't disappointed. Natalie Portman absolutely deserved that Oscar, she did an incredible performace as a ballerina, her portrayal of a white swan turning into the black swan. I fell in love with story, the symbols, the comparisons and rivalry between Nina and Lily, the psychological aspect, and ofcourse the costumes. The costumes on and off stage really expressed each of the characters. Natalie's character, Nina, off the stage she was the white swan wearing whites, grays, and pale pinks, very sweet and innocent. Then Mila Kunis's character wore black, dark grays throughout the story, as she represented the black swan off the stage. The ballerina costumes were beautiful, very detailed, breathtaking feathers, just extraordinary. The Rodarte sisters, who have always had that ballerina inspired creations in their collections, it wasn't really a surprised that they were included in this project.
Black Swan has become a classic film, not only because of the great story, but also because of the gorgeous ballerina costumes, which will be inspirations for the future.
