The Fountain had obsession.
The Black Swan is no different, and it shows what obsession can do.
It's a psychological downward spiral, the whole doppelganger thing is interesting as well.
Marvelous film. And the 'the book is better than the film brigade' can f*ck off.
To me, there isn't much better than good cinema.

I agree with that statement. When people compare the book to the film I don't feel like there is even a good comparison to even be made. There are things that are shown in the film that can only translate through great cinematography. And vice versa, there are certain elements of the way things are written that shine more with your imagination while you are reading it that can only be done with text. So , I don't compare the two mediums with each other. They each have their own strong points.
