Black Swan is the much anticipated story of a hard working Ballerina, Nina Sayers' (Natalie Portman) challenge to play the lead role in the upcoming performance. It reveals her constant struggle and dedication to produce a perfect performance. It isn’t long before all of the stress begins to affect Nina. With raunchy scenes and some which are terrifying. Portman has shocked us with this amazing yet controversial film.
So when we realised that Portman was staring in a Rom-Com, I thought “What in the world is she doing?” By taking the lead role in Black Swan, Portman has inherited a considerate amount of credibility, which it seems she has simply thrown away.
To say the least, I was dubious about No Strings Attached, I really hoped that Portman knew what she was doing, and if I’m being honest, it was hilarious. Portman plays the part of Emma, an overworked doctor who develops a plan for her and her best friend, Adam (Ashton Kutcher), to become ‘friends with benefits’. The whole audience know that it is inevitable for these two people to fall in love. One great disappointment was the ending. It was over bearing, cheesy and just made me want to puke! Take away the last 15 minutes and I feel Natalie Portman has chosen the correct film to star in, after Black Swan. We see that she is extremely capable of capturing a serious and playful character. My hat comes off to you Natalie Portman, you are an amazing actress.
So guys I'm going to leave you with both of the trailers and please feel free to give comments, what did you think of the films? Do you think Natalie Portman should have taken the part of Emma? Also what do you think of Ashton's part?
Lots of Love Nici x
