black swan was perfect.
natalie portman rocks my life. i’m speechless. honestly, i’ve always been on the fence when it comes to her acting, but her performance in the film had such honesty and depth. it was moving, especially to anyone who is an artist. i’m not a dancer, but i definitely felt a connection with nina’s desire to be perfect at her craft. i guarantee you that any artist has felt...
