Black Swan

It's troubling me to hell to sit here and try to put into words Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. There is no beginning nor end to what I think of it. I don't think I have the vocabulary to get my point across. I never will be able to. It's brilliance is infinite.
I don't want to even try, but I HAVE to blog about this, and I want to start while it's still a little fresh.

Is there anybody whose followed my blog from the get-go... who can recite my first mentioning of this movie and how excited I was? and how I've blogged repeatedly about it, again and again.. Can anyone vouch for me? Damn near a year, I've been following the production of this movie.
The anticipation grew fucking rapid when the trailer dropped. I've never been so eager to see a movie.

It was absolutely everything I had expected to be; I was dead correct on the plot. But you couldn't fathom what would happen next. It was so intense and the suspense is fucking devastating. The score was immaculately pieced together with each fucking scene, and gosh was it epic. Embarrassingly, everything about this film took such hold of me I got teary eye'd three times.. And that's only during the movie. When it was over, as soon as I got in my car, I cried for a solid 10 minutes straight out of pure appreciation. No movie...NOTHING has grabbed the reaction out of me that this film has. I've cried of bliss before, but never like this. ...This is.. my favorite movie.

I can't even begin. Others may feel differently, but I'm only speaking on my behalf and what it did for me. Y'all don't understand. I cannot begin and I cannot finish. I'm making this my stopping point. But I WILLbe talking about this later.
