Darren Aronofsky has made some great movies that are absolutely haunting. His movies are amazing to watch, but you won’t leave them smiling. He has a way of connecting with the audience in his movies, and then finding a way to make that audience more depressed then a kid who just dropped their ice cream cone. I don’t think I could handle an Aronofsky Movie Marathon, simply because I’d just see how crappy life can be and go into a corner and cry. That would be halfway through the second movie of the marathon. It is a testament to his ability that Darren Aronofsky can make us feel so strongly about his movies, and his latest movie, Black Swan, looks like it will live up to the standards set by Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler.
The best way to describe the Black Swan trailer is intense and deeply unnerving. The soundtracks for Aronofsky movies are always amazing and set the mood perfectly; the music in this trailer is a great example of that. I never thought a bit of violin music and some craziness could make a movie about ballerinas so creepy. Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis look great, and I don’t just mean attractive. Their performances are powerful, there is a sinister aura around Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman seems very paranoid and generally upset. At least Aronofsky realized that even his trailer was way intense and threw in a scene with Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman making out. I am sure that will raise attendance at theaters.
