Movie Information Thoughts

"Black Swan" (2010)

4.5/5.0

Director: Darren Aronofsky

I really enjoyed this movie! I think its deeper meaning is so beautiful yet so sad.. The central theme of obsession in this film is palpable and gripping! Nina's relentless obsession with perfection consumes her, blurring the line between reality and hallucination.

Nina's entire world revolves around this, she was pushing herself to the limit! And then there's her mom, whose a major player in this perfection game aswell. Some of the scenes in which she appears have left me really unsettled, her mom was very protective and restrictive over her. It also felt to me that her mom was living out her unfinished dream through Nina.

"I felt it. Perfect. It was perfect."

"The only person standing in your way is you."

"It's time to let her go. Lose yourself."

"Stealing Beauty" (1996)

3.0/5.0

Director: Bernardo Bertolucci

I loved this movie so so much but not because it was some masterpiece, but because of it's amazing cinematography.. Watching it felt as if I was living my biggest dream, to spend a summer in the lush countryside of Italy, write poetry, bathe in the sun, dance to Hole, fall in love, wear frilly dresses.. I really loved this aspect of the movie.

Bertolucci's signature style is v clear throughout this film, with beautiful cinematography capturing the beauty of the Italian countryside and the sensual atmosphere of the story!
