It doesn't at all sound like this is a money issue, so I would understand why the ballerina would be insulted to see her work credited to Natalie.<br /><br />On the otherhand, it's incredibly stupid of the ballerina to imply that the dancing had anything to do with ACTING. To say that Portman did a lot of hard work is not to discredit real ballerinas.<br /><br />ON THE OTHERHAND, the producers and director are totally being idiots about the topic, too. Instead of claiming to have analyzed all 139 dancing body shots and counted of the ones that were Portman, Aronofsky should have said "Duh, she got the Oscar for acting, not dancing. Idiots."<br /><br />(WTF, is everybody here thinking that the Oscar had ANYTHING to do with the dancing?! The last I checked, the Academy Awards awarded acting!)<br /><br />(Incidentally, I also have a BIG problem with the Academy Awards awarding <i>impersonations</i>, rather than acting or a well-told story - see: the way they behave over every biopic ever made, ever.)<br /><br />Portman at least, is responding like an adult about it, and not participating in the conversation at all.<br /><br />...And I'm gonna have to say, after thinking about it, the biggest idiots are Millipied and Aronofsky. Seriously, these are adult men with established, successful careers. They should be complimenting this 22-year old ballerina on the fine job she did, and seriously ignore the rest of the bullshit. Instead they act like immature nincompoops, and try to bad-mouth this foolish girl. People whose behavior - and art, and pronouncements, and claims - is beyond reproach, shouldn't have to scramble to cover their asses.my name is Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484587200951022679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875716674621937836.post-6518882302989801482011-04-19T15:30:10.742-07:002011-04-19T15:30:10.742-07:00no. i have a fetish, but not along the lines that ...no. i have a fetish, but not along the lines that you may be thinking (pervert!).<br /><br />maybe a post will explain...Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875716674621937836.post-62704830946642525642011-04-18T22:09:33.842-07:002011-04-18T22:09:33.842-07:00So basically, you're in love with Natalie Port...So basically, you're in love with Natalie Portman. <br /><br />That's cool...I could think of worse. She seems to be unusually literate for a movie star, and I kind of dig that myself. <br /> <br />Also, she was really great in <i>Mars Attacks</i>.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.com
