Portman's Black Swan.

Black Swan Trailer.



Watch the movie trailer at http://video.nytimes.com/video/2010/12/02/movies/1248069395412/a-scene-from-black-swan.html and answer the questions and tell us how different it is from the original script.






Questions about context.
  1. What role is she playing first?
  2. What is she required to do for the black swan's role? 
  3. In the end, is she being considered for such roles? Why not?

Brennan: If I was only guessing the white swan, it should be yours.

Brennan: But I’m not. Maestro, Odile’s Coda please.

Brennan: Now, show me your black swan, Nina.

Brennan:Not so controlled! Seduce us! Not just the prince, but the court, the audience, the entire world, come on, the fouettes (spins) are like a spider spinning the web, attack it, attack it, come on!

Brennan: Well, good of you to join us.

Lilly:Sorry

A look of worry spreads across Nina’s face. Knows she’s blowing it.

Brennan: Girls, this is Lilly straight off the plane from San Francisco, she’s filling Rebecca’s old spot. Get warmed up.

Lilly:That’s OK, I’m good.

Nina: Should I go again?

Brennan:No thanks, I’ve seen enough. Ok, Veronica, the white swan variation.
