black swan
Dec. 11th, 2010 10:12 pmWe saw Black Swan last night. It was what I expected, and yet it was unexpected. I don't even feel the need to try and puzzle out what was real and what was fantasy, because it was all so terribly, incredibly real. Now this is definitely a movie that forces you to stare down some uncomfortable moments, to inhabit this closed, deceptive world and does it well. I loved it. It brought forth an explosive exclamation from Mike the second credits started rolling, which is unusual for him. Generally he has to ruminate on the movie for a bit before giving his thoughts.
It's really beautiful.
When I am restless and unable to make progress with writing on a Saturday night, I bake pies. Pies that will hopefully go to Mike's office on Monday, for his team and their visiting Berkley crew. Now if my Yuletide story would also come together as well as the ganache did.
Sometimes I imagine the other lives I might have lived.
The cat misses Mike. She howls mournfully and wants nothing to do with me while she searches the house for him.
