Trailer for Aronofsky's suspense flick BLACK SWAN starring Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis finally hits the net!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here...
Umm... yes, yes, yes and more yes. Is there room for one more fat American at this year's Toronto FF? Jesus God, what an awesome trailer. Mila Kunis, Natalie Portman and some hinting at a real deal Polanski-ish horror film from Darren Aronofsky!
I don't know if I can handle this movie living up to the hype... Lesbian make-outs between Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman? That's as dangerous as the Hadron Collider. I'm thankful the world didn't blink out of existence when they kissed.
Click on the bloody, Christopher Lee's Dracula-ish crazy eyes to watch the trailer for Black Swan in Glorious Quicktime and then come back and talk about it!
Crazy, right? I don't know what the hell is going on, all I know is I want to see more. Guess that's what they call a good trailer, yeah?

was part of the lesbian trio.mmmmm.
-
All of his films have been brilliant even box office flop the fountain was magestic. As a fan I am not expecting much..keeping expectation dowm just incase this did not live up to the hype
-
I'm sold.
-
metal shards out of her back just before her eyes go red is creepy.
-
It amazes me that in all of the conversations that take place on here where users discuss modern filmmakers that "haven't put out a bad movie yet", Tarantino, Nolan, Edgar Wright, etc, get ridiculous ammounts of both praise and debate, but Aronofsky's name never seems to come up. Don't get me wrong, I love all three of those directors, but Aronofsky is definitely being sold short.
-
Intriguing doesn't come close.
-
....HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
-
I've never met a fan of his in real life. Heck I don't think I've ever even met someone who's seen any of his movies apart from The Wrestler, which was completely routine and predictable. Requiem for a Dream is grossly overrated as well, and the less said about The Fountain the better.
-
So what, she turns into this huge black swan that kills people??
-
weird. what the hell is this film about. seems to be a story about dreams getting shatters. look at the scene with portman looking at the mirror at herself. the color scheme in that is black and white. good and bad. so may she be someone is good, has dreams of being great but this, under a slighlty devil-ish teahcer brings out her bad side. a retelling of faust maybe?
-
she sucks...im sure he'll make it good.
-
You see what I did there.
-
super long oral scene...no nudity tho.

Aronofsky is freakin' awesome; 'love his work.
by stereotypical evil archer
-
She wasn't really. She was fucking awful. She doesn't deserve a career.
-
Or to quote Aronofsky himself "There are a lot of Fountain-haters out [Venice Film Festival]. The film's about the fact that it's OK that we die, and we should come to terms with it. But many, many people don't want to think about that, so why pay money for a meditation on losing someone you love? Everything about western culture denies that... It was pre-Obama, smack in the middle of Paris Hilton time. But there has been a serious turn now, people are starting to realise that the party's over, finally. So we can stop thinking about the culture of superficiality, start to remember there are other things going on..." Yes, that's it Aronofsky, blame Bush.
-
She's in Family Guy, the shittest show on TV. Thick people watch it.
-
...it's a single black feather. You know, the kind a "Black Swan" would have? ;)
-
eat each other's pussies on screen....that is something worth paying for.
-
Black Swan and Family Guy just appeal to the same demographic...
-
But I am a sucker for Natalie Portman (what prequels?) I actually met Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz once. I used to work as an art handler in NYC and me and my brother delivered and hung some art in their apartment. Very very nice people, with excellent taste in art as well
-
....Uhh, yeah. What the subject line says.
-
She's trapped in geek fantasy movies.
-
The Fountain is a masterpiece , in ten years time there will be no argument about this. Somehow this has a Satashi Kon feel to it ? Yeah, look forward to it .
-
I liked it. Slightly crazy, yes, but intriguing and mesmerising.
-
Whoever put that trailer together is a schizophrenic. Nothing holds it together. I know his films are strange and beautiful but there has to be a tie that binds a trailer. Something that gives it direction and tells us something. That was shit. The film could be great but the trailer is utter shit.
-
you know it.
-
At this point, Mila Kunis has more of a career in her little toe than Michael Cera in his entire body.
Get a new act, you silly bitch...HUMILIATED TROLL IS HUMILIATED. -
The pressure of career, performance, competition, etc. is twisting her mind and pushing her into madness...what's not to get?
The Cronenberg FLY-like transformation's a pretty nifty bit of symbolism...looking forward to this one. -

That's bullshit, your giving me the obvious narrative. The subtext is what's jagged. The trailer makes little sense in telling us what the film is really about and why we should care.

I didn't know he directed Pi.

Also, The Fountain was a movie without an ending or purpose. But it did have one of the best musical scores I've ever heard.

and lose the lesbian scene.or maybe get asleep.

No, you're such a shmuck that you take it personal when someone doesn't like a trailer.
-
Aug 17, 2010 6:57:57 PM CDT
Not even her cumming for real on camera could saved AOTC
by performingmonkey
or ROTS. Hope she realises she was in two of the biggest pieces of shit ever commited to shitty digital video. You know you're in trouble when you can't even beat a movie as lame as TPM. TPM is the best prequel in terms of scope, location work, saber fights, originality, innovation etc. it's just a shame it had shitty script, direction and wooden performances (apart from Ian McDiarmid who did well). I'm looking forward to seeing TPM in 1080p with new digital Yoda.
-
Was an homage to "Big". I get it I just don't care.
-
No, I take it personal when someone calls my opinion "bullshit", asshat. I couldn't give a flying fuck in a rolling donut if you liked this trailer or not.
You made a comment, someone replied, and you got snippy. Learn some sort of manners, and you'll get the same in return. Be rude, and you're swimming in a bottomless reservoir, especially with me. -
Sold.
-
She could have been much bigger had she turned down Star Wars. Out of all the cast only Ewan McGregor emerged (relatively) unscathed.
-
Looks badass.
-
V for Vendetta, Garden State, Leon (The Professional). Very hot. Anyone think she was extra smokin' with the shaved head in V4V? Maybe it's just my fetish...
-
On course for $600m global. I like Aronofsky but he'll never make a cerebral film that makes money like Nolan does time after time.
-
for the finished product...she didnt ruin star wars lucas did its not her fault she was given a shit script and a shit director she just needed the cash to get through college
-
2001 movie that will be Aronofsky and not the overrated Nolan whose fans compare him to Kubrick.and thats a fact.
-
in my own oppinion
-
and she has potential to become a great actor,like Kidman used to be.her career is not over yet,she just has to fight to prove her talent.Cooperating with talented directors like Aronofski is a good step in the right direction.Just look how Leo was transformed.
-
his movie do have that cronenberg-ish touch.
-
into an ok actor with delusions of being a humanitarian he is one of the most politicaly self righteous people i know of. That said he was awesome in inception..wasnt he harry ;)
-
No, seriously, this trailer was really interesting. And not just for its more prurient bits. It looks gorgeous! As if he took what he learned about simplicity from The Wrestler and combined it with his more deliberate visual auteur leanings for a perfect 1 - 2 punch of film greatness. I'm sure people are already nit-picking (it's talkback.. everyone is an expert and everyone else is an idiot.. or The Bicycle Sharer.. it's to be expected), but I am purely and completely enthusiastic about this.
-
I remember when he made Pi he said one of his influences was Cronenberg and he wanted to bring cyberpunk to america the way cronenberg brought body horror to canada

What happened to Aronofsky's Noah Ark?
by bp_drills_america_a_new_asshole
Was that canned because it was too expensive? I would kill to read the scriptment - anyone got the link?
-
and that's a shame considering I loves me some Natalie Portman and Vincent Cassel
-
No doubt Phantom Menace was shite, but I dare say Liam Neeson's career survived.
-
...I'll eat my shoe if it turns out Kunis isn't Tyler to Portman's Jack.

how the heck can you know this is shit have you seen the movie at all has anybody, it isnt even finished or been screened yet are you tolling

Portman and Cassel together, in the same movie, and by Aronofsky? hellz yeah
-
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I see and hear she seems to be very much "in the club" (cue Dre beat), and she'll always get top consideration for choice roles. For a woman who I always thought was gorgrous growing up - she's my age, and my teenage self put her way up on a pedestal - in the last few years she seemed boring and almost pretentious in her role choices (IMHO). But she looks sexy as hell in this movie and she can act, so I'll check it out.
-
I threw it up on Megaupload if anyone is interested.

at this point I have never seen a film by darren aronofsky..
by emeraldboy
I know of him and his work. but I have never been excited enough by what I have seen to say I will go and see one of his films. I think its the over serious tone of his work. I have heard all sorts of fantastic things about requiem for a dream but I have heard that its a really intense piece of work. pi was on tv and I tried to to look at that but it made very little sense to me and maybe the only film to give my a headache.never saw the wrestler when it came out in the cinema. I cant recall why. but I didnt see it. as for the fountain. As i had just gotten over the death of my mother. I didnt want to see a long drawn out film about life and death and the afterlife or whatever the fountain was supposed to be about. up untill ben button i was very much a fincher fan.
-
Aug 17, 2010 7:56:29 PM CDT
Aronofsky and Rachel Weisz must be...
by bp_drills_america_a_new_asshole
one of the smartest director-actress couples in Hollywood. The polar opposite of Len Wiseman and Kate Beckinsale.
-
...to make me interested in a movie about ballet. Of course, something tells me it's not really about ballet. Hate all you want, but Aronofsky is one of the only directors out there that is doing ANYTHING differently. Cheers to him for that.
-
I had no idea it would take that kind of turn. Yeah, I'm there.
-
given a two week run in the irish film institute and they are gone and I think most aronofsky films get shown there. I dont know if the fountain got shown in ireland or if ireland was bypassed. cant recall.
-
makes films that I like the concepts of, but end up being unwatchably tedious.
That still of Ms Herschlag makes it look like she's been overdoing the mary jane. -
in talking about this movie for months have not ONCE mentioned Vincent Cassel is in it. That guy is the real deal...I clicked over and when I saw his name I went ape shit. Cassel is the man. Opening day for me.
-
Viggo was justly lauded for his work in EASTERN PROMISES, but Cassel deserved just as many accolades. So pathetic, frightening, slimy and even slightly sympathetic. Like mixing Sonny and Fredo.

by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
Chick flicks? But you are panting to see this? Turn in yer fucking geek card right now you bunch of hypocrite pansies
-
Requiem is one of my favorite movies. This looks like Aronofsky's coming back to that. I got a bit of Burstyn-esque madness towards the end of the trailer. Fucking rad.
-
(in no particular order)...Sheitan (guilty pleasure), Public Enemy no 1, Irreversible,Eastern Promises, Brotherhood of the Wolf, hopefully Black Swan, and I really want to see Dobermann and even Cassel couldn't save Derailed
-
that is all
-
With those scratches on her back, pulling something out... She's turning into a black swan. I'm only half-joking. Her jealousy is turning her into a monster.
-
i bet he uses it to fuck Bellucci both ways.

by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
None of you who bitch about chick flicks being on AICN had better ever say another fucking word about it if you slobber over this - cause who do you think a movie about ballet dancers is for?
-
meets MULHOLLAND DRIVE meets ... doesn't matter. I'm there.

Well we can't take it this week
And her friends don't want another speach
Hoping for a better day to hear what she's got to say
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
(That's why they talk about Personality)
But now your tryin to be some no you got to do some
Wanna be someone who cow wow wows
But you think about the times you did they took every ounce
when it sure got to be a shame when you start to scream and shout
you got to contradict all those times you were butterflyin about
(You were butterflyin)
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
And your a prima ballerina on a spring afternoon
change on into the wolfman howlin at the moon hooowww
All about that Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
But now frustration and heartache is what you got
Now with all the crossin fingers that mother nature says
Your mirrors get jammed up with all your friends
That personality everything starts to bend
Personality when your mind starts to bend
Personality impression of a friend,
Of a friend, of a friend, of a friend, of a friend
Personality wonderin how celebrities ever met
(Look and find out on television)
Personality Crisis you got it while it was hot
frustration and heartache is all you got don't you worry
Personality Crisis please don't cry
it's just a Personality Crisis please don't stop
Because you walk a Personality
Talk a Personality -

Chick flick about ballet dancers HA! Bullshit
by hey_kobe_tell_me_how_my_ass_tastes
Bitch about horseface and the three old hoes and the twihards, but get excited about a ballet movie? ooo yeah, hypocrites much?
-
How can you make a Cassel film list without including La Haine, which I believe was his 'major' debut. If you haven't seen that movie and have any appreciation for hood/street films, it is a must see!
As for Black Swan, I'm super jazzed for it, I've love all of Aronofsky's previous films, but I do wonder if his love of Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue has taken over. He's bought the rights to it and borrowed shots from it in the past, but this story seems very much of the same ilk -- at least from what I can tell. -
...no, I'M there.

Maybe we'll actually get to see some Kunips in this one.
by colonelfatheart
-
Dammit I feel like a goon..will check out La Haine as soon as possible.. and Kilik, Brody's nose was in full effect in Predators, useful as some sort of alien weapon written into the script, I think he would win the noseoff just because of the sheer hook of it..
and to Hey Kobe and others- if this is a chick flick to you just because it has ballet in it you guys are fucking retards. It has, (gasp) GIRLS IN IT??? Betchoo passed on Monster and Million Dollar Baby too? Chick flicks. For the record, I hated Monster, but you get my drift. -
Aug 17, 2010 9:02:17 PM CDT
You call this a chick flick, Kobe, but I doubt I'll be able
by colonelfatheart
to get my fiancee to see it.
-
Did you watch the trailer? It didn't feel chick-flick to me at all. Not a bit. Felt more like a horror film. A good one. I doubt this will appeal to the Twi-Moms. If they go see it, half of them will probably walk out. I am excited to see this and I wouldn't see a Twilight movie if they tied a greased porn star to it handing me a sammich and a beer.
-
With body horror and lesbo scenes? Hell, it that's a chick flick I'm in!
-
first of all - fuck you. secondly define a chick flick? has women in it. check. has sob story (ballerina about to lose job to another ballerina) check. has more women in it than men, check. has gay men in it - uh check. has no action in it besides dancing - check and mate mother fucker. chick flick bitch. yeah aronofsky (good name btw) directed it, so that gives him geek cred - uh why? sio geek cred directors cant direct chick flicks? once again, fuck you -
-
...and utterly captivating. It's a shame The Fountain isn't mentioned while the other two are, I hope one day it will be recognized as one of the greatest films ever made.

Watched the trailer a second time.
by ooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuutttttlllllaaaaa
If it's anything like The Fountain (but with an ending this time), then I'll like it. Good stuff.
-
1) Has women in it - uh yeah good luck with your "non-gay" no women allowed movie.
2) Sob Story - Big difference to the romantic melo-drama and drama. If you're not old enough to realize that, sorry to rob your innocence.
3) Has multiple women in it - Uh...as is number 1, me thinks your porn has been mislabeled.
4) Gay man - Got me there, we all now gay once in the system oozes everywhere and contaminates everything
5) Aronofsky - Produced some of the most brutal films of the last 10+ years, yep, he's a softy. -

-
Both anticipated movies from razor sharp directors. Both crap. Both bloated. Both too "ambitious". Both had too much money thrown at them.
-
1) sort of got me on that one - I should have left it at has more women in it than men - then again there is this little movie called the Expendables
2)Oh, a (crying) ballerina - with a dominant mommy problem and a gay choreographer pitting her against a rival for a spot in Swan Lake aint melodrama, really? Next. go ack to school kid 3)Uh, not really into porn dude- have nothing against it, but I get the real thing thank you very much. And SATC has more women than men in it too. Next. 4)See the Expendables - no really go see it, and get the gay off of yourself. Next. 5)Cameron - wrote and directed some of the hardest action movies ever - oh, and a little movie called Titanic - which just so happens to be biggest chick flick of all fucking time - with a boat that sinks (geek) too! Check and motherfucking mate. -
Aug 17, 2010 9:48:06 PM CDT
"Both had too much money thrown at them."
by ooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuutttttlllllaaaaa
The Fountain was made on a 35mil budget. But yeah, too ambitious. Delivered on cinematography, acting, and musical score, but lacked in narrative and cohesive storyline.
-
That she pulled out of her skin. Looks like she's transforming into a black swan... Kinda like 'Metamorphosis' (giant cockroach).

re-watching the trailer.... it could be either. Hard to tell for me, personally. But I still won't go see Twilight, even if they strap a pre-lubricated, naked cheerleading squad to it, all with bags of Chex mix and bottles of vintage vodka, asking me when I'd like my massage, before or after they take turns giving me oral. But I might go see this.

If the shit that's happening to her is real and not just metaphorical or in her head.

Thanks, Hey_Kobe!
-
you'd be discussing how awesome it will be to watch Natalie and Mila hook up and pleasure themselves and each other. Unless you've covered that ground already then nevermind.
-
I hope there's more to it than the story, because judging from the trailer, I could check off ALL ABOUT EVE, SHOWGIRLS, RED SHOES, SINGLE WHITE FEMALE. That's just off the top of my head. Yeah. It has a creepy atmosphere, but it could be a long slog if there isn't much more to it than that.
-
I'm sure that gene has been shot across your face, up your ass, and down your throat many times.
-
invoked a diseased macaque? Learn from the best, I always say.
-
and that makes it better, really? seeing two women screwing is a waste of two pussies - a fucking crying shame.

-
mini-flame war (except MJ's, who should stop breathing so his doctor doesn't have to wash his nose out with turpentine every time he gives him a check up.... and so he'll DIE) for turning a somewhat boring evening into an exercise in a form of communication I'm sorely unfamiliar with, yet interested in learning more about. I am of course talking about the practice of making MJ's feel like he's going to have an aneurysm because Hey_Kobe's mere words make his weak little mind so angry and impotent from a distance he will most likely take it out on a woman later. (but we of course hope he learned his lesson last time and does not again)

-
Sweet Mother he's surrounded by the hottest Jewish chicks in existence. Apart from Bar Rafaeli. She's with a goy.
-
I hate to get involved in these sorta talkbacks, but damn, why'd you have to go and drag the Corey's into it? They are innocent of this slander and providers of the happy memories of our youth
Kobe - Touche on Cameron on point 5, well played sir. -
Aranofsky is one director who still has to make a bad film. Personal fav is The Fountain. Brilliant movie.
-
I hope the movie makes more sense than the trailer. That said, I own all of Darren Aronofsky's movies and am an avid fan, so I really shouldn't have any doubt over this films greatness.
-
You guys are savage animals. I will address Kobe as monosyllabically as possible so his head don't hurt.
1. Porn is great.
2. Aronofsky is incapable of making something that could be labeled as a chick flick.
3. Absence of women often equals gay.
4. Presence of hot lesbo swan women equals great.
5. Cassel I think is very obviously sexually molesting Portman in the trailer...again, not gay
6. No action besides dancing? I thought I saw flesh peeling more than once, and certainly some stalking
7. Gay doesn't really equal chick flick, so the whole context of your argument is fucked up. Chick flicks are lame, not gay. Paul Morrissey is gay, not lame. See?
8. You seem to be saying that women should always be supporting characters. While I believe this is true (as a red blooded cocksure starry eyed don juan dynamo pussy beating motherfucker) in the home or in the workplace, I don't think this is a very healthy attitude when it comes to film. Some stories need to be told.
9. Ballet is actually for men sometimes..Frederick Ashton, Erik Bruhn, get some culture motherfucker (things that if you knew them might make you one tenth the vagina-pounder I is).
10. Fuck you. -
Great points all. I especially like 10.

Here's the thing about Kunis and Portman: I would vigorously fuck the hell out of both of them. Perhaps at the same time. And in the vagina, just to be clear.

I've waited like a fucking YEAR to see a trailer for this flick... Can't go wrong with Mila and Natalie *drools* I liked that bit about the Hadron Collider too. Good one Quint

Dude's BAD-ASS. This should be fantastic.

Why couldn't she acted like this in the prequels.

WOW. Fucking amazing trailer. I don't want to see any more until i see the film... This just officially jumped towards the top of my list of must see films. Nice ambiguous and subtle supernatural overtones, yet still grounded in reality... Looks like a real mindbender.

Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler...
by that_girl_from_the_lowes_commercials_gar
Still hasn't eclipsed his personal best, "Pi". I love that damn movie
-
That was The Wrestler. And that was probably because he didn't write the screenplay. The rest were pretentious wankfests. Requiem for A Dream was the worst, most anvilicious excuse for an "art film" I have seen since I left college. Not a great fan of Natalie "wooden plank" Portman either. Unless there is some hardcore girl on girl going on, I'm sitting this out.
-
Looks like he's back to being pretentious.
-
So I had some free time and after posting in this thread I decided to re-watch The Fountain to figure out what I liked and hated so much about the movie. All of the good parts were still as good as I remembered, but it still made no sense. I had to hunt down other people's explanations online and find one that made the most sense. And after reading it... it actually makes a lot of sense and the movie is suddenly twice as good. But why didn't they include this in the movie? It smells of artsy-fartsy directorial, "Oh, you'll figure it out... if you're smart enough. Idiot." MY RESPONSE TO THE DIRECTOR: Do you understand that I WANT to like your film. And when you hide the cards under that many layers you're not being cleaver, you're being intentionally frustrating. If you go to youtube there's a 10 minute "The Fountain Director's Commentary (Abridged)" video. In that video he's speaking about the film and he still carry's that same frustration. The film is over and he still can't resist. "There is a explanation for it all and it's not that complicated to figure out. But I don't want to spell it all out here." *bangs head on wall* Here's the best explanation I could find: ***SPOILER*** The present timeline is the main reality. In the present, Rachael is writing a book. The past is just Rachael's story brought to life on the screen. It's relevant to the film because Rachael is writing this book while she's dying and the themes of what she's going through is illustrated in the book. The manner in which the conquistador Tom dies is present Tom's ending. This is relevant to the film because it illustrates how he felt about the themes of life, death, and reincarnation. Remember, he wrote the ending of the book after she died. After her death, Tom remembers the time where he chased her out into the snow where she gave him a seed (?). He planted that seed on top of her grave. That seed turned into the tree at the end and in keeping with the theme of the circle of life and reincarnation, her remains are now part of that tree. The future Tom is the same person as the present Tom. You see, while Rachael was dying, Tom and his team made a medical/scientific break through, able to reverse aging. After Rachael died, Tom decided that reversing aging was only the beginning. What he really wanted to do was to cure death. "Death is a disease." What they don't show in the movie is the fact that Tom succeeded. He was able to cure death and live forever. 495 years later in the year 2500, there he still is with the tree, which still contains the remains of Rachael. And somehow, whatever it is that allows you to live forever is infused in that tree. That's why he eats pieces of the bark. How does the bubble space ship work? Why is he the only one left? Huh? These are things they don't explain and these aren't too important. In the end, he "recycles" both himself and the tree Rachael into the one place in the universe where life began. Ultimately, even after figuring out how to live forever he failed to save her life twice. But it's implied that he still used his death to bring forth new life.
-
So Pi was a "pretentious wankfest"? Over your head much? lol
-
Snatched and chomped eagerly by the board. "I'm not into porn, I get the real thing" = 14 year old virgin that can't figure out how to hack his parent's net nanny.
-
you can't beat that quick shot of her working one out. also, its pretty awesome that she thinks she's turning into a black swan. literally.
-
Could most definitely be called a "Pretentious wankfest". God that movie was torture... The Wrestler was a bit overrated, not bad though. As is Requiem, to a certain degree. Pretty amazing acting in that film though, can't deny that...
-
No wonder it's canned. "This is not a comedy. It’s funny, because Noah’s always been done as a comedy. This is definitely more the sci-fi version. It’s the traditional Noah story, but it’s told in a serious way. More fantasy than comedy."
-
Actually this gave me a strong Polanski feel. BTW, notice the R-rating. This is gonna be intelligent and have some balls (unlike the movies of a ceratin British director that is quite popular on this site….)
-
Aug 18, 2010 1:42:03 AM CDT
One more thing about The Fountain more *spoiler*
by ooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuutttttlllllaaaaa
***spoiler*** The other popular explanation is that the past conquistador Tom is Rachael's first 11 chapters and the future, bubble-man, space traveler was Tom's ending to the book (chapter 12). I don't buy that version. Why would he end the book so strangely? Also, there are some visual cues, most notably, the tattoo ring. There's a reason why the ink was blurred out in the future. There's a reason why he continued to put more tattoos on himself. Also, the appearances of Rachael. He's literally haunted by her memory. Why would he write that into the ending of her book about a conquistador?
-
If you can't see that, it means you are a douche.
-
Aug 18, 2010 1:50:21 AM CDT
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTLL LLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW
by cap'n jack
I happen to believe the theory you mention. Tom ended the book that way because he was a scientist. The only parts of the movie that are 'real', are the modern day scenes.
-
Well, you're not alone, but I have to disagree. 1) The tattoos that I mentioned. 2) The visions of Rachael of their actual past. Why would a fictional conquistador have visions about his life...? (I keep calling her Rachael because I forgot the character's name... it's Izzy.) 3) At the very end, it looks like they intentionally put a scene from the present where he whispers "We're almost there." And immediately after, he whispers to the tree, the same thing. 4) In the past, Tom dies. Are we to assume that's where chapter 11 ended? But while he was reading it, it stopped before then. So do we assume that he wrote in that part of the ending and then continued it on to a more scientific ending? I think it's more likely that Izzy kept telling Mayan stories about people dying and being born again through trees. Tom took this idea and wrote it into the ending of the book. ANYWAY. Like I said, either way, with an actual ending to sink my teeth into, I think I like the movie twice as much. It's a shame it's been so frustrating to get to this point.
-
was not that hard to get without research. It was heavily reliant on the viewers interpretation, but did anybody really not find a decent way to feel comfortable about it? Not as intentionally confusing as some films out there. It's a great movie because it's about the vibe we pull from it rather than spoonfed linear facts. A great film working on a couple meta levels. You gotta like a movie that doesn't need to be spelled out.
-
I love Aronofsky flicks, the Wrestler was robed by Milk. Rob'd! White Knights is one of my favorite ballet films. This might kick it's ass. All this from Pi. This guy is awesome!
-
you really feel like a fly on the wall in wrestler. the camera play and the character play of that movie is just amazing. I dont fully understand but i dont think the camera back away enough from the ram far enough to not feel like you were going through all the shit with him. That movie broke my fucking heart so bad. anyone who says this guy isnt on par with the directors you listed has their head in the sand
-
While Aronofsky is not quite Kubrick, you have to realize that Kubrick had the benefit of some of the greatest years and attitudes of our history as a nation backing him. Films like Paths of Glory or Dr. Strangelove are spot on to those times, and because of this, they advanced Kubrick's career and esteem tenfold. I think Aronofsky isn't close to Kubrick because he seems incapable of making a solid statement like most of Kubrick's films did. Kubrick is great on satire or general comment on the human condition, whereas Aronofsky is better at individual, heart churning stories. Isn't it nice that people are even trying to compare the two though? You have to give the man credit for making very personal films regardless. I think he's worthy of the canon of greats, but below Kubrick (and many others) definitely. But I am certainly glad to have him in my lifetime.
-
You guys will eat this up.
-
The Fountain... was absolutely amazing. If you can't see that, it means you are a douche." Well how can anyone argue THAT sound reasoning... lol
-
I actually LOVE movies that aren't spelled out for the audience. That's one of the most admirable things about a film, when the director can pull that off... Unfortunately, in the case of The Fountain, it just simply doesn't work. The dialogue is simplistic and often times too self-aware. That pulled me out of the film almost immediately... The characters are really dry, unlikeable and one-note. The love story wasn't handled properly either. Pretty cheesy, if you ask me... All in all, one big pile of "Meh". I did love that shot of Bald-Hugh practicing YOGA with the stars as a back drop... ;-) No, but that was a fuckin' sick shot. I'll give it that.
-
AWESOME. That is all.

Aronofsky is amazing but he's not and will never be Kubrick
by redjester
Kubrick thought on a grander scale than Aronofsky seems capable of. And as Aronofsky is no slouch when it comes to grandeur, that is just a testament to the greatness of Kubrick.
-
You can't blame Portman for the failings of the prequels and she has been good in everything else and Kunis is good in comedy. Haven't scene her in drama.However, they are also hot and there's no way I am missing this. The kiss and the masturbation scene alone guarantee my AIS.
-
I haven't seen a wankfest horror for years! *sigh* used to see them all the time in the 80's on VHS.
-
FUCKING NAILED IT.
-
Long live the WANKFEST!!
-
Bonus points for the face-down girl wank.
-
I'm so there
-
is because of the wall of silence directors like nolan erect while making thier films. no info gets in or out.
-
if these two weren't members of that prudish group of younger American actresses. Don't suppose we'll see a repeat of the Jennifer Connelly's performance from Requiem (aside from being hot, she's fearless).OTOH, some of the most anticipated "debuts" are often disappointing. There's something to be said for keeping things under cover.
-
Is actually a very tender and beautiful love story, but not your typical "chick flick" love story – instead, it's one struck through with sadness, mourning, and loss. All of the science fiction and historical aspects of the movie aren't meant to be taken literally, but are illustrations of inner states of being. The movie succeeds fully, in my opinion, in getting at the heart through the eyes and the brain – something which very few filmmakers can do. Kubrick himself very seldom reached the heart, though I don't think it was his intention. The Fountain is a film that – no pun intended – you both have to let wash over you and think about; it's both a visual and an intellectual experience, but the end result is that the audience is moved to feel very universal things about love, life, death. People are very fast to trot out the word "pretentious". The word implies a failed attempt at importance. I think The Fountain succeeds in being the transcendental experience Aronofsky intended.
-
cf. Ana Claudia Talancon in 'Alone with Her', where she diddles herself with the handle of a hairbrush.
-
... who has never made a bad, or even average, film. Just like Malick. No, I'm not comparing the two. So silly to compare directors.

Double Dildo scene like he had in Requiem for a Dream. Imagine that in 3D Imax. I'd pay good money to see that.

I downloaded the Black Swan script like over a year ago, and i'm pretty sure i still have it... i read the first maybe 15 or 20 pages and i stopped reading. Kinda wanted to go into it cold. I'm tempted to pull it up and give it a go. Anybody else here read the script?
-
Miley Cyrus and Hillary Duff for the sequel, Pink Clam.
-
Gentleman we must promise, no eye contact whilst we fap in the theatre.
More wonderful cinema from Darren "ASS TO ASS Aronofsky. -
I think a couple of people have mentioned this offhand already, but the thing that Portman pulls out of her back is a tiny feather, not a metal shard. I have a couple of cheap pillows whose feathers come out of the stitching and them shits look exactly the same. Plus, the whole "Black Swan" thing.
-
This is a fancified Showgirls.
-
(snort!)
-
Whew...just had to shout that out!Great to see loads of 'The Fountain' love here - that is a very fucking good movie, a brilliant story. It's demanding, beautifully acted by Weisz and Jackman is great, too. The Clint Mansell soundtrack is the shit, absolutely breath-taking. Pi, Requiem, The Fountain, The Wrestler...Aronofsky you are the dog's droppers!
-
Wasn't that taken with it.
-
or whatever that scene is incredibly creepy. when I first saw the poster. I thought this film was vampiric looking. the white skin, the blood shot red eyes. they way the trailer is cut early on barbara hershey says leroy has been there a long time. the prince of darkness was able to seduce his female victims before biting them and turning them into female vampires. but by the end of the trailer it seem this is a movie about a ballerina who starts out good, becames great, pushed by her mother then later becomes corrupted and turns into a black swan. or a ballerina who is dark and malevalent.
-
Portman and Kunis lip locking and what appears to be Kunis using her body for an amusement park?
It's like Bound, Showgirls and Cruel Intentions and that flick with Neve Campbell and and Charlie Sheen's sexy, crazy ass ex-wife. all over again....
Who gives a shit what the plot is about if there's hot lesbian action? -
When I saw the title I thought for one glorious moment this was an adaptation of David Mitchell's BLACK SWAN GREEN. Ah well. Maybe another day.

So I got bored and decided to watch Requiem for a Dream. I want to un-watch it. Good execution all the way around but something's off. I guess I wasn't entertained. I watch movies to be entertained. It doesn't have to all be super-happy-fun stuff but... you know how some movies are described as gore porn? This movie was anguish porn.
-
You made my head hurt with your stupidity - but here are your questions with my answers (after the hyphen) anyway
1. You said: Porn is great. - Well sometimes it is, but not the one legged midget fucking a constipated donkey porn that you like dude.
2.You said: Aronofsky is incapable of making something that could be labeled as a chick flick. - Cameron who has Far more balls and action than Aronofsky has ever shown wrote and produced - wait for it the biggest chick flick of all fucking time- Titanic.
3. You said: Absence of women often equals gay. - I'm guessing you hated the Expendables didn't you pwecious?
4. You said: Presence of hot lesbo swan women equals great. - Why, is the waste of two pussies great? Do you really think lesbians would invite you to join a threesome? Fantasize much? Hell, you can't even get a threesome from your own two hands. 5. You said: Cassel I think is very obviously sexually molesting Portman in the trailer...again, not gay - Again, you are projecting your fantasies onto gay/lesbians -he aint doing no such thing.
6. You said: No action besides dancing? I thought I saw flesh peeling more than once, and certainly some stalking. - There was way more action and naked tities in Titanic which was um, a chick flick!
7. You said: Gay doesn't really equal chick flick, so the whole context of your argument is fucked up. Chick flicks are lame, not gay. Paul Morrissey is gay, not lame. See? - No, brokeback mtn (which admittedly i have never seen)had homosexual cowboys I'm guessing they were not lame or at least far less so than choreographers and such, and brokeback was - wait for it - a chick flick (why was it a chick flick? well what straight man willingly went to see it? ergo it was aimed at women, ergo it was a chick flick)
8. You said: You seem to be saying that women should always be supporting characters. While I believe this is true (as a red blooded cocksure starry eyed don juan dynamo pussy beating motherfucker) in the home or in the workplace, I don't think this is a very healthy attitude when it comes to film. Some stories need to be told. - Fantasize much? I think you do.
9. You said: Ballet is actually for men sometimes..Frederick Ashton, Erik Bruhn, get some culture motherfucker (things that if you knew them might make you one tenth the vagina-pounder I is). - That pretty much shows how gay you really are. No need for me to point it out. Yeah, ballet for men. Right on. Keep on preaching sweetie.
10. You said: Fuck you. - Fantasizing again, but I don't swing that way bubbie, so go back pounding your pathetic pud over some one legged midget donkey fucking porn and shut defuck up. -
you reinforce the cellar dwelling, cheetos eating, porn watching, excessive masturbation stereotype of nerdgeekdom perfectly you get the cookie! and don't forget to remind ur mom to pick up more boxes of kleenex!
-
give it up you clowns...try and expand your knowledge beyond Star Wars...Garden State, Leon, Beautiful Girls, V For Vendetta, Closer etc...all proof the girl is a legit actress...now she is in a movie where she hooks up with Mila Kunis and you homos are calling her "wooden" the ony thing wooden in this film will be my cock when I'm watching it
-
I know Natalie Portman wasn't great in SW I-III, but Laurence Olivier and Meryl Streep would've struggled with the bullshit scripts that Lucas handed the prequel actors. Everyone likes to cite Ian McDiarmid as proof that good acting can result from that material, but that's only the exception that proves the rule (plus his role was tiny, he was evil, and he was only really good in that one theater scene). Those movies are all about the effects and dialogue and character development are immaterial. Portman has given a number of solid performances in very different roles.
-
from 2 actresses for 2 hours.
-
Agree with the poster above: the middle ages/far future aspects of the film are alegorical, not literal.
The key line fo the film is "finish it". Jackman is conflicted about losing his wife, but the main point of the film is that he cannot truely be with her again until he lets go - finish it.
I think Darren is also making a point about the circle of life, that Jackamn dying helped to replenish the tree of life. -

I don't care what anyone says her performance on the platform at the end of SITH brought a level of emotion and heartbreak to Star Wars that had never been there before. As far as Menace and Clones go I thought she handled a blaster convincingly and was the tragic, beautiful "kind but sad" foil for Anakin that the role called for. Was she going to win any Oscars for any of that? No, but neither did Carrie Fisher.
-
I thought Portman was pretty damn good in TPM and ROTS. She handled her SW character better than Ewan McGregor did in 2 SW movies.
-
was very good in 'V For Vendetta', particularly the break down scene after she gets out of the cell.I can't honestly remember her in 'Star Wars' - except for the "You're breaking my heart" moment which was quite affecting.
-
but for gnashing gash and tongue fucking each other...Portman and Kunis are pure perfection.
-
As I think it would be totally rude and inappropriate to start spanking one out in the Theater. Nope..this movie was made for winter nights, a fire, and a few hours of self lovin.

Anyone who gets to bang Monica Belluci deserves mucho respect. Other than the vaguely Lynch-ian vibe, there really isn't a whole lot that grabs me here...especially if this is nothing more than a "split-personality-type" mystery/thing. Considering the talent involved, that would be a predictable shame.

'V For Vendetta' was a "huge" hit?Are you sure? I thought it made barely a ripple at cinemas.

This looks like a 'fun' NYC nightmare.

I have been reading a lot of BS on this talkback.
1) Natalie Portman is hot. Coincidentally I watched Hotel Chevalier yesterday and now I’m even more convinced. I totally love that cuter-than-average-girl-next-door look.
2) Male ballet dancers are not gay. Well maybe gay but not ‘fags’. I work out a lot and play rugby. Ballet is totally not my thing but I can appreciate the athleticism. Van Damme did ballet!
3) Aranofsky has bigger balls than James Cameron! Did you see The Wrestler? Do you remember the end of Requiem for a Dream? Now let’s compare that to the weak, pussy, predictable piece of shit Avatar.

I never got the requiem love. I thought it was bang you over the head super obvious pretense, basically I felt like I couldn't make up my own mind about the events in the film or its' characters, I was being force fed an opinion, and it took me right out of the movie. It had the pretense of being "A VERY IMPORTANT MOVIE, AND THESE ARE THE FEELINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE ABOUT IT". I found it to be the epitome of preachy, winking at itself for its' cleverness. As someone said before, it pretends to be greater than it is, but because it had such a unique STYLE for its' time, as well as the controversy, it is forgiven for much. I was not convinced. It FELT like an experimental college film made by an inexperienced film maker. I believe it to be the Great Rock and Roll Swindle of film.

Ballet isn't so different to wrestling if you think about it.

There are a few frames of heaven in there.

Single White Female with lesbian action... good stuff.
-
The Fountain was craptastic. The first draft of the original script was pretty dang good... then... I don't know what happened.
-
You nail it about the internet fans.
-
the ending was a punch to the stomach for me. An amazing use of the visual talent to conclude a heart breaking story… but that’s just my opinion and I can fully understand it was just too much for some people.

"Whew...just had to shout that out!
Great to see loads of 'The Fountain' love here - that is a very fucking good movie, a brilliant story. It's demanding, beautifully acted by Weisz and Jackman is great, too. The Clint Mansell soundtrack is the shit, absolutely breath-taking. Pi, Requiem, The Fountain, The Wrestler...Aronofsky you are the dog's droppers!" You seem to love movies with tansparent "depth". Just because a movie APPEARS to be deep, doesn't mean it really is... Let me guess, you "fucking love" Donnie Darko as well, am i right? lol I just fucking HATE films that pretend they have depth, when in actuality, they are just as intellectually shallow as Transformers 2 and whatnot... Only thing is, at least TF2 KNOWS its fucking stupid lol -
I'll never understand the pure HATRED that many geeks on here have for that man. I mean sure, his films are technically pretty awful (mainly script-wise, which isn't really HIS fault...), but the guy admits he ain't trying to change cinema. He knows his movies are fucking stupid, and i don't enjoy his films myself, but the outright ANIMOSITY a lot of you have for him is just simple, masturbatory fanboy hyperbole... Find someone who DESERVES the hate, like Uwe Boll or Paul W.S. Anderson. Heck, even Brett fucking Ratner lol
