Black Swan ..... ????????

Sooooooooo FH and I just watched Black Swan. I knew that we were in for a very unique movie, but I am soooooooooooooooo freakin confused. Have any of you seen it and if so what the helllllllll is your take on it?! I hate when movies do not give a freakin conclusion of some kind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My take on it is that she really stressed herself out causing her to hallucinate. Nina wanted nothing more than to be perfect and was trying to really get into the black swan character but it drove her mad. Everything was about mentally giving up her innocence and sacrificed everything for the sake of art. It was like she was being a method actor to the extreme and ended up killing herself like the white swan does. In the end she is happy about achieving perfection though it cost her life. Basically she was driven crazy by pressure.

Ahhhh okay yes that much makes sense to me! However, what was with the full on hallucinations and the lesbian encounters?! I guess that was all from stress?? At one point, I thought maybe she was imagining Mila Kunis all together. Psycho movie.

THIS LOL ... My FH and BFF Hubby were so mad we made them watch this movie. I am not sure if the lesbian encounter was all in her head or not. I don't get the rave reviews for this movie at all. It was confusing and anticlimactic at best.

FH and I watched this together, and we think the 'encounter' was in her head- in fact most of the movie changes from imagination to reality.

This is what FH and I thought too. It was a pretty interesting movie
