Black Swan (Movie 2010)

Metrotainment.net – Black Swan menceritakan tentang Nina (Natalie Portman) seorang Balerina hebat di New York City Ballet, yang mengabdikan seluruh hidupnya hanya untuk menari.
Saat Direktur Artistik , Leroy (Cassel) mengumumkan bahwa dia akan mengganti ballerina utama, Beth Macintye (ryder)  dalam Produksi Swan Lake, Nina merupakan kandidat utamanya.
Akan tetapi dalam Swan Lake sang ballerina harus bisa memainkan kedua peran sebagai The White Swan ( karakteristik yang polos) dan The Black Swan (karakteristik yang licik).

Nina sangat sempurna saat memainkan peran The White Swan, namun tidak untuk The Black Swan.
Peran ini lebih natural saat dimainkan oleh seorang penari pendatang baru, Lily (Kunis).
Dengan ini persaingan antara kedua penari ini pun dimulai dan Nina berusaha untuk mempertahankan karakteristik The White Swan sembari mencoba menemukan sisi gelap dalam dirinya.
Review
Balet mempersembahkan sebuah gerakan lemah gemulai yang sangat lembut, mahluk-mahluk indah memainkannya dengan balutan nuansa pink.
Hal inilah yang menjadi persembahan utama dari Black Swan, menyajikan karakteristik para ballerina dengan keindahan tarian mereka, namun dari sudut pandang yang belum pernah kita bayangkan sebelumnya.
Mengungkap bagaimana sesungguhnya kehidupan mereka  dibalik panggung yang biasanya demikian megah dan gemerlap.
Dunia yang penuh dengan penjatuhan harga diri, depresi yang tiada henti serta kritik keras dan menusuk dari Direktur dan anggota lainnya.


Nina sang tokoh utama dalam film ini diceritakan dengan karakteristik seorang ballerina yang sangat ambisius. Setiap moodnya berkaitan langsung dalam setiap pertunjukan yang dia lakukan dan setiap kemampuannya diukur semata-mata hanya untuk evaluasi Direktur atas pekerjaannya.
Di saat teman-temannya mulai menunjukan kualitas yang melebihi standar, membuat dirinya semakin bekerja keras untuk tampil lebih baik.

Tekanan-tekanan inilah yang mulai mempengaruhi mental Nina, dia mendadak menjadi paranoid, menjadi gelisah dan bingung akan kehidupannya.
Karakter Nina sendiri sangat apik diperankan oleh Natalie Portman. Kemungkinan dia akan meraih nominasi atas perannya di film ini pada February mendatang.
Banyak tema yang diceritakan dalam Black Swan, namun yang paling dalam adalah tentang pertarungan antara karakteristik polos dan iblis yang ada pada diri Nina sendiri, yang notabene sesuai dengan kisah Swan Lake.
Tapi semua itu bukannya tanpa hasil, di akhir kisah batasan-batasan antara akting dan reality sudah tidak ada lagi dalam diri Nina, semua ini akhirnya membawa kagum akan pertunjukan Swan Lake.
Satu hal yang cukup disayangkan dalam film ini adalah sisi dramatikalnya.
Mengesampingkan fakta bahwa kondisi Nina yang sangat dramatis, terdapat beb
Hal ini mungkin akan diterima sebagai sesuatu yang sangat menyentuh bagi sebagian penonton, namun di lain pihak mungkin akan menganggap hal ini adalah sesuatu yang “lebay”. Adheswara

3. Concentration
Konsentrasi. “Kalau bisa mengganggu pekerjaan, saya bisa memutuskan hubungan”.
Ketika di lokasi syuting. Kim bum hampir tidak perna melihat HP-nya, walaupun ada puluhan sms, dia tidak ingin berbagai emosi mengganggu hasil syuting.

Godaan. Pada acara MKMF Music Award 2007 (Mnet korea) 4 anggota groupband wanita dengan tarian menggoda kim bum. Peristiwa itu menjadi berita hangat di kalangan netter, pada tahun 2007 juga kim bum dan salah satu anggota wonder girl partner dalam film I like it hot ada adegan ciuman hot. Dan hal ini menimbulkan kecemburuan fans pria wonder girl dan mereka meninggalkan kata-kata negative, sehingga kim bum menon-aktifkan blognya untuk sementara.
5. Inferiority
Rendah diri. Kalau saya seorang sutradara, saya tidak akan memilih diri sendiri menjadi pemain. Saat kim bum akan syuting serial MBC Rude women(2006) kim bum berperan sebagai seorang murid SMA kelas 1 yang baru pindah dari amerika bersama ibunya. Saat itu kim bum setiap hari menghafal scenario dan hanya tidur 4 jam sehari.

10. Modesty
Saat ini, kim bum yang sudah menjadi artis popular di korea dan asia. Dia tidak ingin menjadi seorang artis yang kelakuannya dibuat-buat demi menjaga image. “saya tidak ingin ada jarak dengan penonton saya, saya juga suka memilhat usaha saya di layar kaca.”
“ketika ingin tahu atau penasaran dengan sesuatu, saya tidak bisa menahannya. Ketika membaca synopsis atau scenario, ada saatnya saya merasakan karakter itu berkelahi dengan saya. Saya merasakannya ketika berperan sebagai Lee Dong Chul ( masa muda) di serial East of eden, dan Lee Jang Suk dalam dream. Dua karakter itu seperti mengejek saya. Coba dan lihat apakah kamu bisa melakukannya. Saya tidak suka kalah, jadi saya harus melakukannya. “
