I Swallow the Sound and It Swallows Me Whole. Til There's Nothing Left Inside My Soul.

Went to go see Black Swan yesterday with Jenny and a group of her other friends
It was such a visceral movie with layers upon layers of dimension
I don't know where to begin honestly, and wouldn't quite know where to stop
It was highly personal for both Jenny and I (thematically, not content-wise)
It just reaches into your gut and shows you your own

That is the precise reason that I loved Black Swan, too. I could really relate to the fragile, perfectionist Nina, and that's why it was so scary, because it touched me on the level of my own personal psychological problems. Her mother scared the crap out of me.

her mother seemed like this exaggerated symbol of nurturing on the brink of being too sheltered, and that does kind of scare me
the part where nina goes through her room and throws away all of her stuffed animals was like a denial of that need to be sheltered anymore, which was a nice breaking off for her
(and that wallpaper, my god) x.x

It was the Black Swan which frightened me most, because I felt a strange dark connection to her...

And the scene where Nina finally understands what has happened to her, and she sees the stab wound in her side and she just starts to cry so hopelessly... that part really got to me for some reason.

It was weird being in the car with you afterwords and feeling like I wanted to cry for no reason at all.

That movie... I dunno it did something to me... I still cant understand it.

that dark swan just scared the shit out of me
she kept intentionally hurting herself and nina's softer half

that part where nina sees that she stabbed herself the whole time i thought "your still alive, you can still get help!"
but the use of the death as the final act in the performance...it just speaks volumes and i am not sure i could do it justice to talk about it

i know what you mean
but if anything all i felt after the movie was hope
or maybe it was feeling the sadness eminate from you that made me try to be hopeful
like that day in the woods
it could be either or both, we may never know

i loved the movie. i want it asap
