    I am going to put here the opinion I gave about her relating to the movie of Mr. Magorium:"When I see her eyes,I think I see the eyes of universe.When I see her crying,it is like if I had to help her because I feel terribly sad,when I see her smiling,it´s like the world feeling joy.That´s the enormous impression that Natalie Portman produces in me,not only by her physic and corporal expression,but also by her voice, mainly in Spanish(I´ve had little oportunities to listen to her in original version).If, furthermore, you put her in a movie which inspires about dreams and imagination -an issue that I particularly like, as that is what this world needs-,the effect is complete."
    I must also add that, in V for Vendetta,she showed she could be melancolical,and hard,and express infinite suffering and determination.As the mother in Goya´s ghost, made us feel sorrow by a terribly treated character,and in The other Boleyn girl, she was a perfect bitch. With Wong Kar Wai was complex, and so on.
