Black Swan

The plot of the drama Black Swan is built around the ballerina of the theater – Nina, who is preparing for the most important performance in her life in the production of Swan Lake. Nina must play 2 heroes at once – the White and the Black Swan. But the choreographer is not sure that Nina is an ideal candidate for this role, because she copes perfectly with the part of the White Swan, and for the Black one she is not liberated enough. After making sure that the ballerina has potential, the choreographer still approves her for the role.

For the filming of the film “Black Swan” Natalie Portman, who played Nina, trained for 8 hours a day at the bench for a whole year. It was choreographed by Georgina Parkinson, who worked with Natalie on every detail from her eye movements to her fingertips.

In one of her interviews, the actress admitted that no picture was given to her as difficult as this one. For her role as ballerina Nina Portman, she won an Oscar in the Best Actress category.

Her dance looks amazing and mesmerizing. Portman seems to be a professional ballerina. By the way, ballet was present in the biography of the actress. She attended a ballet studio as a child. Of course, the most difficult scenes were performed by a stunt double – professional ballerina Sarah Lane. But about 85% of the dance scenes were still performed by Natalie herself.

Honey

Released in 2003, Honey, starring Jessica Alba, has become one of the actress’s most famous films thanks to its spectacular choreography. Alba played the young choreographer Hani, who choreographs dances for video clips.

Her boss regularly makes the girl proposals of an intimate nature, agreeing to which Honey could rapidly move up the career ladder. But Hani refuses the boss and decides to take a desperate step – opening his own dance studio.

Despite the uncomplicated and even banal plot, the film found its audience. Dancing Jessica Alba emits a tremendous energy that makes you re-watch dance scenes again and again – and dance to the beat.

An excerpt from the film, where Jessica, surrounded by a crowd of young dancers, twists a T-shirt behind her back, exposing her belly, and begins to dance hip-hop, can be called the most spectacular scene of the film.

But we can say with confidence that this is one of the funniest moments of the film.

Pulp Fiction

In the cult film Pulp Fiction, John Travolta and Uma Thurman danced their famous fiery dance. It was one of the most challenging scenes for the actors, and took 13 hours to shoot, not counting the preparation time for the dance itself. By the way, Travolta and Tarantino himself participated in thinking over the movements.

The difficulty in staging the dance arose due to the tightness of Uma Thurman. She could not catch the right rhythm and liberate herself in any way. But Travolta, having the talent of a dancer, did not experience difficulties – and, on the contrary, helped his partner to master the movements. Feeling the importance of the dance scene for the film, Uma Thurman was even more worried, which only increased her stiffness in the frame.

In the end, the dance was a success!
