For Inquiry 1, I am interested in analyzing the film, Black Swan. I have seen this movie before, however I am excited to look deeper into the film's meaning and underlying message. The reason I decided to choose this film over many others is because I vividly remember my friends and I arguing about the central message of the film after it ended. Every single one of us viewed the movie from a different perspective and had different theories on why everything played out the way it did, which really interests me. I have to watch the film again to remember exactly what my perspective was, but I am almost positive I want to zoom in on the idea of the struggle one goes through while trying to achieve perfection. The main character in Black Swan, Natalie Portman, lives a life full of boundaries and expectations in order to be what she believes is "perfect"- it is quite fascinating. I am looking forward to this Inquiry because I am going to have the ability to analyze a film that I truly do enjoy, which will make this project very enjoyable, opposed to a chore.
My name is Ali McCann and I am a freshman here at Miami University. I love English and enjoyed Rhetoric and Composition last semester with Bridget, as well. I am leaning towards being a Strategic Communications major and a Marketing minor, however that is not set in stone. I am from Darien, Connecticut and was a ballet dancer my whole life. I have two brothers named Jack and Colin; Jack is a sophomore in high school and Colin is in fourth grade. I also have two dogs named Rae and Sasha. One is a yorkie-poo and the other is a chihuahua. I go to Nantucket Island every summer with my family and vacation to Boca Raton, Florida every year.
