For the Black Swan Movie assignment, you will first view the film in its entirety this week. Pay attention to the details you see in the behavior of the main characters, Nina and her mother, as well as the auxiliary characters. I would even suggest that you make notes as it goes, remembering to view it from a psychological lens.
If you have already seen the movie previously, please watch it again from the point of view of our class. I promise, new things that you may have overlooked before will pop out! I have seen this movie dozens of times and I still find myself noticing subtle nuances.
