I just got home from seeing this movie. Anyone else seen it yet? I thought it was great, even though it made me squirm a lot! I anticipated a lame movie about ballet dancers, but was pleasantly surprised by all the darkness and insanity. Definitely recommend it!
I really want to see this too! For anybody who's seen it, does it have a lot of ED-related stuff in it?
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
Apparently the first scene is pretty hardcore (SH and ED themes)
I do know that bulimia is a part of the storyline.
But I haven't seen it yet so I don't really know.
I saw it and loved it. It was very odd, but good. I don't think there was that much ED triggers in it, unless I'm forgetting something? A few hints at anorexia but I don't recall any bulimia references. Although I do forget things in movies so I could be wrong. It mostly deals with psychosis and self harm, but the self harm isn't really the stereotypical type of self harm. It was very symbolic which I liked, and Natalie Portman deserves at least a nomination for best actress.
Stereotypes are the epitome of human laziness.

Yeah, there was a few ED (bulimia) parts, but that wasn't the focus really. Like beautiful seclustion said, it's more about the process of the character losing her mind.
i reaaaaally wanna see it >.<
who wants to give me money =[
=p
“The good things don’t always soften the bad, but vice-versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things and make them unimportant.”
“Nobody important? Blimey, that’s amazing. Do you know, in nine hundred years of time and space I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important before.”
“If it’s time to go, remember what you’re leaving. Remember the best. My friends have always been the best of me.”
I'm dying to see this movie. I think I'll finally see it this week, had been waiting for a friend who also wants to see it.
"...that incremental suicide of turning your life into a dream, to make being awake as similar to sleep as possible. Drowsily, lazily, dry-mouth your way through the day's ceremonies, fumble your way back into the dew-bather you never really left, draped in brown, brown now all around, the haze!" - Russell Brand on drug addiction.

I saw this movie an LOVED it. As a former ballet dancer, it reminded me of why I quit. Although, it kind of made me want to start again. I will say, I found it a bit triggering for SI. I swear, though, if I'd continued dancing, it could have been written about me.
I really wanna see this! Not sure about the SH references though and how triggering it would be? To anyone whose seen it, how much does it involve SH? Are there specific scenes involving SH? Thanks :)
