Serious Ask Here...

GD1 is at Royal Ballet School, so when I spotted a DVD about ballet I bought it.
The Black Swan.
What the hell is all that about ??
I felt as if I was on summat illegal whilst watching it?

[Prudie]

I love ballet so was really looking forward to this film. What a disappointment, I still have no idea what was real and what wasn't . A total let down for me.

[ferlew]

Not just me then ?

You're not alone:

'Disturbing' is how I would describe it.

[Obiter]

I have never seen it, but from reports I have read it is to do with Sapphic love.

[Old_Geezer]

It's art. It need not make sense, just so long as it got your attention.

[ferlew]

For sure Naomi.

[ferlew]

Sapphic Love?? Pardon ?

[Obiter]

Sorry, unless Iv'e got the wrong ballet it was about Lesbianism, but I could be barking up the wrong tree.

[Prudie]

Don't get too excited Obiter, that was just a tiny part of it...

[weecalf]

I thought the Black Swan was a pub

[Prudie]

or a pirate ship...
