still one of my favorite movies since 2010. truly a masterpiece
Likewise ❤️
Yes. I just watched it for the first time the other day and OMG it was so good.
Agree with that lad! 😉💯
Yes, my favorite among recent _American_ films.
It blew my mind when I found out that BOTH Black Swan and Requiem For A Dream are directed by Darren Aronofsky. Two of the best movies ever made.
You should also see Pi and The Wrestler. Those movies are also masterpieces. Also Mother is a good movie in my opinion and The Whale was great.
I thought Noah and Pi were great too
black swan is an absolute masterpiece. it will always be one of my favorite films
This movie is one of my all time favorite movies. It’s so bizarre and leaves me with so many questions but that’s what I love about it.
This movie was great, it really taught me how to sort of take advantage of my perfection habit instead of it ruining me. Nina never could be great at first, I mean yeah she had great form and was one of the top dancers in the movie but at the beginning the girl teacher tells her to relax. Once Nina finally just let go of everything and just let her body take over she put on the best performance of all time. I think a lot of us are yet to discover our “black swan” but we have to let go of ourselves to reach another level of greatness, don’t go crazy though haha, but work your tail off!
Sarah Lane is a beautiful dancer.
She did most of the dancing on this film. Natalie wore pointe shoes, cried a lot and moved her shoulders. One year of practice to do that kind of dancing is preposterous!!!!
Give the applause to the actual dancer!
Natalie is an actor. She is NOT a dancer. It really minimizes the years of training that real ballerinas put forth.
@@carolynclaire5241 They both performed different things which were both impressive. Natalie had amazing acting, while Sarah Lane had amazing dancing. Besides, that wasn't the point. OP is talking about the movie and characters, and putting their own interpretation.
@@ponferada But it was a shalemess fraud to not even mention Sarah Lane. As far as I know, Portman never mentioned her until today. A shameless b****.
The out of this world effort of Natalie for this character…
The behind the scenes stuff is so funny cuz it’s such a serious movie
Girl u are EVERYWHEREEEEEE AHHHHH
Mr Darren Aronofsky is a genius.
I love all of his masterpiece movies, Black swan, Requiem For A Dream, Mother!, Noah, The Fountain. Just wow!🖤
Black swan, requiem and the whale are his best movies. The others you listed are hot garbage.
Yes, he’s either fantastic or self-indulgent garbage
The Wrestler was such a good one as well! Maybe the most human movie Aronofsky has ever made.
And The Whale was great too. He is one of the best filmmakers of this generation.
@@shadysorkin9214ro. requiem is terrible. his worst..
That cgi at the end was very well done. Helped the story in a big way...integrated really well.
I wish behind the scenes stuff wouldn't be so curated and cut down. They should just release the raw interviews and footage in long form. That's what people watching bts are trying to see.
18:50 This shot reflects another thing that I found quite unsettling about the film's visual style - not just the use of mirrors and reflections, but the mazelike spaces of the studio, and the somehow slightly claustrophobic spaces Nina existed in? A thematic reflection of her struggle to break free of inhibition and her nother's smothering I guess.
Still think this movie shouldve won the Oscar for best picture that year I'm sorry but king's speech wasn't on the same level as this. Not even close. Def one of the best films ever made, and Natalie's performance is out of this world. Yes Sarah Lane did a fantastic job with the choreography and no one is taking that away from her (she was actually interviewed in a couple pieces for television at the time the movie came out), but my God, that doesn't take away the incredible magnificent performance Natalie put together for this film.
Sure, Natalie is a great actress, but at least they could give Sarah Lane the credit for her work. It's a great film because you don't realize at all that the character of Nina is a compound of two persons: an actress and a dancer. It would not have worked without this great dance scenes.
I could watch this over and over and never get bored. Masterpiece!
This film is truly a masterpiece of visual and auditory seduction: the intriguing story, the elegant visuals, the stylized movement of the dance, the decadent musical score, equal parts unease/near-madness and rhapsodic classical beauty, the gorgeous female leads, the costumes, the photography and set design, the special effects + the amazing Barbara Hershey. It does not get any better than this. A rare treat indeed.
I thought Natalie did a great job of acting and dancing, but the hard stuff was done by Sarah Lane, a professional ballet dancer. She didn't get a lot of credit for the things she did in the movie. They want to make you think Natalie did a lot of the hard stuff but you can see in this video that the fluid dancing, fouettes & pirouettes were performed by Sarah and probably the footwork scenes as well. Natalie would have won the Oscar on her acting alone. Natalie trained in ballet only 1 1/2 years for her role and there are things that takes a professional dancer years & years to learn and get perfect.
and the fact that they started a campaign and told sarah to stay quiet
@@emmalovesyourdog - Yes. That was wrong in so many ways.
i guess why the second part of this documentary added the technical details
The real ballerina didn’t get any attention because Natalie literally told the world that she did all of the dancing herself lmao. Go research it, she really did lie and say she did it all.
@@redpillyoass5894 - I had heard that & thought it was ridiculous. Nobody can get that good in a year.
Sarah Lane did a fantastic job and I think it’s completely justified that she was so outspoken about the dancing. Natalie Portman obviously worked very hard at the dancing and her acting performance is phenomenal, no question. But she is not a dancer and it is obvious Sarah did the majority of the dancing. They really did Sarah dirty by not crediting her properly.
I feel it was likely a marketing move to make people believe Natalie trained so hard she could dance at a professional level. Like that would be so impressive if it were possible & I can see why they ran with that narrative. Doesn’t make it right, though.
Girl you are on point with this! I didnt know about Sarah until recently, and it is wild how they claimed brazenly that "Natalie portman trained for a year," when in reality, Sarah was the true star of the dance aspect.
My thoughts exactly, I've never heard Natalie thank or even mention Sarah Lane for her contribution to the film. It's as if Natalie wants us to assume she did the dancing in the movie. It was only after the Academy Awards that it became known that Sarah did the majority of the ballet performances.
Really? I can't understand that anybody could believe you could dance like that, on a professional level only after a training of about a year. And it is a little bit shady and unfair that Natalie Portman made us believe in the interview that she did the dancing.
What a difference to Deborah Kerr and Marnie Blixen! The producers put on an contract that Marnie wasn't allowed to talk about over dubbing Deborah in "The King and I". Deborah Kerr was the one who lifted the secret. She said, that Marnie was not allowed to talk about but herself wasn't and she could tell. That's the respect for the art and work from one professional to the other.
@@linchen008 Black Swan...One of the biggest frauds in the history of the Academy Awards.
@@vero8pictures958 Stop with the nonsense. When do actors take time out to commend the work of stunt doubles. Nobody in their right mind ever thought Natalie did ALL the dancing. She never said she did nor did anybody else. She did however train very hard for a long time so that when actual footage of her dancing was used it would blend in with the rest of the professional dancing.
Thank you for putting this together! I have been obssesed with this movie lately, and I loved to watch how they shot the scenes, the special FX, and to have all the extra input of the project. I've enjoyed it a lot! ♥
IKR I kept rewinding cause the FX was just perfect & almost made me feel like I was experiencing what she was feeling
Sarah Lane, you did marvellous job with those beautiful moves!
This movie is such a great horror movie, but not the way one might expect. We get to see a person with mental disorders descend into madness and mania, and we know there is no happy ending. The horror we see is from Ninas perspective and it is terrifying, we see monsters, doppelgangers and we, as her, do not know what is real. Well it IS real to her, and one can only wonder how people with schizophrenia cope sometimes, when you have to question your own mind all the time. Brilliant movie! One of my favs!
Magnificent from the script to the music to the acting and filming 😊
I just watched this film for the first time last evening, I was left speechless!!!! difficult to watch at times, a masterpiece!! WOW
The movie is great and Natalie Portman certainly did an extraordinary job, but, as a former ballet dancer, I have some conflict with it. First, I think the production, the director, and Ms. Portman were really unfair by not giving Sarah Lane, a principal with the ABT by the time the movie was made, the recognition she deserved. The movie would not have the same impact without Sarah's work, and it would be impossible for Natalie Portman, or any human being whatsoever, to reach the level of a professional ballet dancer in six months or one year, no matter how hard she trained. Second, Black Swan is broadly seen as a movie about dance, but it is not. The movie does not portray how the world of ballet really is. Yes, professional dance companies are very competitive places, however, there is an order and a structure that is not portrayed in the movie, and the reason why is that Black Swan is not a movie about how dance companies work. The story could not happen exactly like that in a real dance company for several reasons, and at the same time it could have been adapted into other contexts, such as a law firm, a scientific laboratory, an orchestra, a theatre company, etc., and it would be just as great because the topic of the movie is not ballet but the obsession for perfectionism and how that can lead to a mental breakdown.
Thanks you pointed that out and tell us about the world of ballet and how it works. And I am absolutely on your side. I've never seen it as a movie about ballet. To me it was about the descending of a young woman into madness.
@@mirijam3157 thanks for your smart ass clarification. Actually, a lot of people believed black swan was a movie about the ballet world (not you, of course, because you are extremely clever), but lots of people even believed Natalie Portman became a professional ballerina. By the time the movie was released, the New York City Ballet office got a large number of calls of people wanting to purchase tickets to watch Natalie performing swan lake.
no one cares its a movie
It is not a documentary, it’s a fictional piece of work. It has no intention to show “the real world of ballet”. It’s a movie about an artist looking for perfection, in fact it was about an actress first, they changed to a dancer later.
@@vitorhugosantana7053 It was more or less just the biggest fraud in an Oscarrace since the Academy of Motion Pictures was founded.
It's a Great Story and must be seen for everyone who wants to know and learn, never boring either, most of the comments a word Masterpiece and yes it is Masterpiece. 👌👍🙏🙂❤
Changed my life
I just watched this movie 3 times in 1 day I love it
That final transformation of the black swan was jaw-dropping. The hair literally stood up on my neck. Absolutely beautiful and terrifying at once.
One of my favorite movies!
Darren Aronofsky is one of the best filmmakers of his generation.
6:22 last chance to look at me hector
I have loved 😍 this movie since it came out in 2011. Still one of my favorite movies 🎬 with MILA KUNIS and NATALIE PORTMAN, great masterpiece 👌
best movie ever made
almost
I loved this movie! Bravo!!!!
A masterpiece
14:07 "it's rothbart" HER MIND!
That shadowwork is amazing!
Thank you Darren
As much as I love this movie and everybody in it, I don't think they, especially Natalie, gave enough credit to the actual dancer. I know she got paid but so did the actors.
Natalie Portman is the best actress of all time ❤️❤️
Why does she need so much credit? Movie is not about how great she dances, its about the process of trying to achieve perfection. Dance is a decoration of it.
I have this film on Blu Ray I have only ever seen the trailer of this film. I shall watch the Blu Ray asap
Thanks for Sharinggggg
So inspiring to watch.
what a great documentary🌹
Damm who knew Don Salamanca was a ballet fan
this is so interesting
It was a beautiful film.
winona ryder is a gem
My all time favorite movie
For everyone hating on the film I understand it's your opinion but I feel like people aren't grasping the psychological aspect to it.
Great movie from beginning to end.
Does someone know the soundrack on 39:07? Been looking for that since the movie came out!
Thank you very very much
GOD BLESS YOU
Masterpiece
Increíble
Guauuuuu increíble
As a former dancer this intrigued me
Beautiful Sarah Lane.
Thank u mr. nobody❤❤❤
I wish we got to see Beth perform. That is the one thing I wanted for this movie
What A Wonderful Fantastic Nightmare-ish Movie Ever! 😉🖤
And me who thought that final fall was real LoL
i didn't notice that Hector was in this film
An hysterical, truly odd horror movie. Great movie poster though.
Someone recommend me more dark or disturbing artsy movies like this pls. I rly enjoyed Repulsion, rosemarys baby, suspiria (original) and the Witch.. pls
I watched a video about the similarities between whiplash and back swan so maybe whiplash would be a good movie to watch.
@@Lorelore10 seen that and loved it but it wasnt rly dark lol
Requiem for a dream. By Darren Aronofsky. Be prepared though, very dark and disturbing.
@@cindimams4394 saw that, mother and pi.
Please which site can I watch this movie?
Deze film heeft mij nooit aangetrokken. Artificieel.
26:24 so funny lol
Mahlako ❤❤
Nina's room 9:58
7:00 hector salamanca
6:23 tf is hector doing here?
It's impossible for Natalie to have learned ballet so well in a short time, you liar.
She practiced 5 days a week for a year..and in the tougher dance parts they cgi her face onto a professional dancer.
Natalie Portman never danced in that movie. Its obvious. She did about 5% of the scenes herself. And this includes the Upper-body-Shots where she is just waveing her arms. It was just a fraud to groom her for the Oscars.
yg kesini karna ada tugas ngacung☝🏻
engga ya?
Song 22:00 ??
In india they take .....
Ding ding 6:24

This film may have been inspired by an anime film called Perfect Blue. Check it out and decide for yourself.
Not only inspired. Its more or less a remake.
43:29 wait whattttttt its not done by Natalie Portman 🙂😡
SURPRISE!!!!
42:10 What a hot guy 😊
it looks like it really needed too much effort for the scenes. just wow
37:10 ballet is repetitive
Why is Natalie Portman so rude to the guy who's interviewing her?
rude how?
Its typical for her. Today she tries to change her image, but back then, nearly everybody who had contact with her called her a rude b**** or something on that level. She apparently always looked quite sullen and was unfriendly, but then when people tried to talk to her she'd be rude and dismissive towards them. So, she didn't really 'do' anything but they all said she seemed stuck up and arrogant.
Jim Carrey is the true black swan
Perfectionists always seemed sinister to me and BS just confirmed those fears. Anyone who represses their anger can’t be trusted.
Natalie Portman lied and said she did all of the dancing in this movie when she literally did none.
Yes, a despicable fraud. But at least these "Black-Swan-Controversity" is an eternal scratch on her Oscar.
These actors are hardly in the moving acting! Why are they getting awards? The stunt devils should be getting the awards.
Portmans eternal scratch on her Oscar. The scratch sometimes forms the name "Sarah Lane" in her dreams I would think.....
Natalie is so hypocrite.
She lied her skinny ass of for the promotion of that movie....
God I feel fat
LMFAO me too
Lol. I don't. I think they're way too skinny.
Me too ahaha
Same
This movie is softcore Cinemax porn garbage. I don't understand why people think it's deep in any kind of way. I know this video is old but it just popped up on my suggestions. Like dude, seriously it's overrated trash.
Lol literally everybody is jewish
They help their own.
@@alexman378 y’all sounding very antisemitic rn 🤨
@@strawberrysubmarines Since when is helping your own is a negative thing?
@@alexman378 what does that mean
really? lol
This was a terribly boring movie. The story was weird and uninteresting.
Russian ballet is by far a much better technique.
Portman never had any technique. She was just posing.
I found it to be one of the most grotesquely pretentious movies I've ever seen. Made me furious and my flesh still crawls looking back on the time I wasted on it.
So do I....typical Pre-MeToo-Bullshit. And the biggest fraud in the Oscarraces since the foundation of the Academy.
you really milk the word masterpiece. huh
To be honest, I find Natalie Portman’s acting to be pretty one-dimensional and uninteresting. I think she won an Oscar because the public believed she ‘learned ballet’ in a few months (takes decades).
The filmmakers actually lied and credited her with the main dancing sequences when in fact they were performed by Sarah Lane. Pretty despicable.
Is this movie entertaining? Hell yes. Cheesy and exploitative? Absolutely? A masterpiece? Hard NO.
It’s been more than a decade and Natalie’s oscar win is still memorable. It might be the one people think it’s the most deserving among best actress winners of the 21st century.
@@vitorhugosantana7053 I find it to be true of all her roles. I can think of so many actors with a much greater range than she possesses. They just don’t tend to be found in too many Hollywood blockbusters.
Your absolutely right. Natalie Portman was never a good actress. Wooden and one-dimensional. But she is having Star Power since she was promoted like the second comming of Merryl Streep in her youth. And her Oscar-campaign was definately one of the biggest frauds in the history of the Academy.
Natalie looks so angelic and then she says, "Fuck". 😆
