Portman's Time to Shine
Natalie Portman's resume is a shining piece of gold that is overshadowed by many that are quite lack luster. This is because she is, truly, one of the most underrated and adaptable actresses of the past decade. I have been waiting for a very long time for her to get that one particular role that would give her all of the acting credit she deserves. This might have finally arrived in Darren Aronpfsky's 2010 film Black Swan.
With exceptions, most of the actors and actresses we admire range from complete shit to exceptional, but most are rather one-note. Channing Tatum, Michael Cera, Jessica Alba, and other such examples have both good and bad films—which is to be expected; their real problem is that they have a “norm.” Anyone can pick them out in a film, not just by their face, but by their repetitive acting styles. Portman does not have that problem; so, she should never have become so underrated.
All of the roles that Natalie is credited for, and has executed perfectly, are very different—she has a great deal of plasticity that is very admirable. However, every time I would ask a person if they liked her they would always call her “the skinny girl with the shaved head” and follow that with “she is alright, I suppose.” This is such a saddening thing to hear because Portman is so much more than that!
Black Swan is one of the best films of this year because all of her varying strengths are packed into one film. Her role as the mentally disturbed ballerina, Nina, has proved that she is capable of many different personas and does not have a predictable style like many other actors and actresses. Black Swan reflects what Natalie is capable of--
She can be sexual.
She can be rebellious.
She can be pretty.
She can be vengeful.
She can be delicate.
She can be brilliant.
There is SO much more she is capable of, too!
There is only one question left: Dear Public, are you satisfied yet?

I thought she was amazing in Black Swan, but I've never been impressed with her in any other movie including Closer (that was Clive Owen's movie) and Garden State. For me she needs to have a couple more solid performances before I'll call her a great actress, because in my opinion I think her performance in Black Swan had more to do with Darren Aronofsky's ability to get the best out of his actors than her talent. In my opinion a great actor can be good even if the director/script/whatever sucks and until she's able to prove that, she'll always just be okay to me.

I haven't seen Black Swan and I can't wait to watch it, I've always liked Natalie Portman, ever since I watched V for Vendetta, you know as far I'm concerned Natalie Portman is the most beautiful woman in the world.. ( I know it's pretty stupid saying stuff like that but she really is absolutely gorgeous )

I think it would be a bad career choice to be in two potential bombs (No Strings Attached and Thor) after Black Swan if Sandra Bullock hadn't gone the same path before her.
I think the Academy knows that greatness outshines mundane trivialities (sorry for that phrase).
And there's always the potential that she will do great in those two films, even though it is (yes) very unlikely.

Padme has come a long way! She is a great actress and hopefully she will get some recognition for The Black Swan. I'm hoping Your Highness is good...that movie with Ashton looks terrible though.

I'm taking it upon myself to hunt down each and every member of the Academy if she does not win the Oscar for Best Actress. She blew me away in Black Swan, and I can agree with everything you said!

I think by now we can all agree that she's very talented and has come a real long way since the Star Wars prequels. I admit I haven't seen Black Swan yet but if she does as well as everyone praises she does then who am I to still be upset with her over the prequels?
