Natalie Portman Rewatches Black Swan, Star Wars, V for Vendetta & More | Vanity Fair

[@Chuuzus]

Natalie Portman is such a legend and her performance in Black Swan is one of the best performances i have seen in a film of our time

[@DefenestrateYourself]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@CooperRust that’s mostly incorrect. There are 139 dance shots in the film. Of those, 111 are Natalie Portman untouched. So 80% of the film is Natalie actually dancing

Natalie Portman is the best actress of all time 💖✨🤩🥰

[@kpopkdramaislife2136]

Totally agree 💖

[@rivatrivedi7808]

I absolutely love her trajectory as an actor. She is always picking incredibly interesting and unique roles. Her range is astounding. Bravo Natalie!

[@georgeofhamilton]

She honestly picks some really tortured characters to play.

[@PinkoKane]

Nonsense. She's just beautiful and always has been. Acting is just being someone that other people want to watch do things, or listen to them say things. Typically they are gorgeous, but sometimes they are just odd or interesting. Like Steve Buscemi or Paul Giamatti.

[@shadysorkin9214]

@@PinkoKane Of course looks play a role in your success in the industry, but it's a shame you can't see past that and recognize her talent. I hope you don't view people like that in your real life.

[@georgeofhamilton]

[@katlyndobransky2419]

I loved her as Padme! I hope she knows how crucial she is to the Star Wars universe! Her outfits and hairstyles were always so stunning

[@wiccanTV]

Her performance in "Leon: The Professional", is iconic and the film is a masterpiece.

Thank-you, I conceived the first and developed both stories.

[@seimen4348]

Yes, but leon, especially considering her age, was absolutely great.

[@susannadvortsin]

She's an extremely talented actress. Even the films I didn't like, I felt like she did a great job. She's always in character and so believable. A natural acting talent.

[@BREAKERisDEAD]

Annihilation is one my favorite movies Ive ever watched with my family. It sparked such a fun discussion among us, Ill never forget it

[@1chrisanderson]

Definitely unique in that class of super deep, layered films with the potential to spark inner discovery. I'm always on the lookout for movies where the characters are chasing the answers to those huge questions

[@LoversLane16]

I had an anxiety attack watching it. lol thats only happened one other time. Requiem for a Dream. haha

You should really check out Stalker (1979) Dir. Andrei Tarkovsky.

[@Lozibalasi37]

Portman! Portman! Portman! Portman!

[@ACD1994]

Natalie Portman is a brilliant actress. Her performance in Leon, is one of the best performances at that age- all time. Should have been nominated for it. Kind of surprised it was, not mentioned, or Jackie, which she did get an Oscar nomination for.

[@matthewadair4507]

When I first saw Natalie Portman as Padme, I instantly had a crush on her.

[@mainly_marvel]

that's so real

[@nathanskywalker1536]

You me and a million other people

[@BenAri18]

You and me both brother, you and me both

[@natalieportmanfan1817]

🥰💖💥😍✨🤩

[@jonathanmatthews4774]

I think literally every straight teenage male had a crush on her...

[@yoni5570]

I need about 15 more minutes of JUST Black Swan, and at least a couple minutes of Closer. Her two best performances (or maybe three with Jackie).

[@MsTdiniz]

Yeah, I was expecting to see her talk about Closer, they put the terrible “Love and Thunder”, and not Close ugh

[@cjrebirth]

Had a crush on her as Padme in episode 1, but then seeing her in episode 2 (especially that ripped outfit) had my mouth dropping

[@natalieportmanfan1817]

🤩✨💖🥰✨💖

[@Chuck_EL]

The black sleeveless dress at the fire place 😍

[@Borsio]

I love how she has no idea that Padme was absolutely, 100% considered to be the one who attacks Anakin with a knife, and you can read and see some concept art of this particular moment.

[@gingerleamcwow435]

That scene with Natalie & Ashley on the front porch just brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I watch it ❤

[@Fxvpz3]

WE NEED NATALIE AND HAYDEN TO REUNITE FOR A STAR WARS SPINOFF OR SMTH😭

[@paulinaispunk]

Not only is she an INCREDIBLE actress, but look at how much she uplifts all her peers as well! Ugh love to see it, she's truly an icon.

[@Lukeywoodsey]

I hope people who criticise her for Padme see other films she's been in and realise it was the writing. She's always been amazing

[@TOFKAS01]

Not amazing. In fact she was always quite wooden. But she is having quite a screenpresence.

[@libertylizard_]

There isn't anything wrong with George's writing you bigoted [redacted]. Now shut up and go away.

[@SleepFan771]

Natalie Portman is awesome in Leon, Cold Mountain, Closer, V for Vendetta, Black Swan, Jackie, Annihilation, & May December!

[@natalieportmanfan1817]

and Star Wars of course 🤩✨🥰💖

[@constantdvdcollector]

Natalie is such an amazing actress. She's done some great sci-fi films, not just the Prequel Trilogy, but also V for Vendetta and the Thor films.

[@madtheghost337]

Elegant, graceful, fierce, cerebral, modest, and yet so down to earth, human, and outrageously hilarious when she wants to be; truly, never will there ever be another. 🖤

[@rebeccamm5366]

I appreciate Vanity Fair for including Where the Heart Is! I love that movie and feel like it isn’t talked about much. I’ve been a fan of hers since I was 4 after seeing the Star Wars The Phantom Menace. Her acting range is incredible.

[@gingerleamcwow435]

[@twinklybones8952]

[@djmikio]

V for Vendetta stands with Fight Club as what I think are the 2 most important cinematic social commentaries that would NEVER have been allowed to be made in our current state of cultural unrest.

[@Teek4Tat]

I remember seeing the professional and thinking she’s beautiful at 11 and a great actress ! She’ll be a star

[@shreddykrueger9171]

Should have included Garden State or The Professional

[@AmandaBabyyyyy]

Yes! And Closer 🙂

[@Jasandiz]

4:27 that's it! bravo! I always say this, it's amazing how many actors complain of green screen. Actors in a theater stage mostly use their imagination, this is the same! Is not that part of being an actor?

[@Dumballa]

She had a nearly 15 year run that anyone could admire. It's very rare.

[@rossteenrezamansouri-rad4963]

Which 15 years are you referring to? She’s been acting so much longer than that

[@1bwash]

The way Natalie Portman had her eyebrows trimmed in the 2000s movies inspired me to do the same. Always a straight block.

[@TheBruceKeller]

A shame she didn't talk about 'The Professional', the film that essentially started her career... but there's probably a decent chance she doesn't have the best memories of Besson either.

[@gurukutungumokotochongo8057]

The film is canceled, in every sense of the word. No matter how iconic, well made and heartfelt it is, they are just going to act like it never happened. Sad.

[@Unc3rtaintyPrinciple]

@@gurukutungumokotochongo8057 I don't think it's the case, they still talk about it. It's just it's the most talked about film in her career, so maybe they wanted to focus on something else and not what is asked in every other interview

[@susiesparkles514]

I LOVE Black Swan. The first time I saw it I remember loving Natalie Portman even more than I already did. I thought she was so cool ever since The Professional.

[@movies_matteo7271]

VOX LUX should have been included. Such an important film and one of Natalie's finest, funniest, and saddest performances.

[@Haven161]

I’ve always liked Where The Heart Is. I never hear any praise for the movie though, I like that they added it here.

[@PollyPocketmusic]

The way she articulates 🤌

[@BadgerUKvideo]

No mention of Leon? I always thought that was her break out performance. Maybe it wasn't as big a movie as i'd remembered.

[@LoversLane16]

It totally is a big deal! but i think they condense these a lot. I was also waiting for Garden state

[@AdAstra78]

Leon's a masterpiece, but Natalie's progressive politics probably means she doesn't want to risk talking about its 'challenging' content.
