Why is Black Swan probably awful?

Let's see. We have:

1. Natalie Portman being intense and driven but also (gasp!) vulnerable. Check!
2. Vincent Cassel being sinister and manipulative. Check!
3. Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis getting all up close and personal. Check?

I am so sure that all kinds of things that are not at all predictable are going to happen and it's actually so mind-blowing and not merely an excuse to have two nice-looking actresses wear not-very-much and make not-actual-porn. This is definitely true. No one is type-cast at all. It's very deep. Says many important things about perfection.

Oh, and then Natalie Portman grows feathers. Awesome.

PS: No, I have not seen it, and I am not going to. I hate both Natalie Portman and pretentious films.

But Vincent Cassel is really GOOD at being sinister! Rent it when it comes out and only watch the parts where he makes the hair stand up on your neck?

Your comments about life are both funny and dead on. I really enjoy reading them and on occasion agree. However, I hate when people make assumptions, comments and reviews about media, art or books or anything before they even read, watch or partake in what they review. Black Swan was a great thriller and very well made. The effects were great and better than major studio productions like star Wars because they blend so well you will have no idea what is real or effects. Black Swan was a great film because it is just progressive and fresh compared to something like King's Speech ***yawn***. There are things I dislike about Black Swan, but nothing is perfect and that is the whole theme.

Your assumptions make you sound idiotic. But I will look over this since I enjoyed your other comments.
