Now I realize that I am watching this movie for the second time. I wasn't that impressed when I first watched it. I even complained that it was not cliche and striking. It means that it takes a certain time to perceive some productions and learn their value, or I have changed a lot.
Long story short, the right thing to say for my production: Stunning!
I have enough admiration for Portman already. I guess if there was another actor in this production, it wouldn't have made such an impact on me. I caught myself so much in that thin, sluggish, exhausted state with that greed. Anyway, let me tell you without personalizing the comment, everything was good except the male actors and male extras in the production. I believe that these men were chosen simply to keep our swan in the foreground. One more thing, the production could have been kept longer.
Black and White Swan. Explaining the eternal struggle of good and bad, beautiful and ugly, right and wrong, and in fact all opposites, on the basis of the simplest art and human. Darren Aronofsky is a different director who is passionate about telling people to people with people, and who blends detailed and intense metaphors. Always keep this in the back of your mind while watching and commenting on his movies.
At the beginning of the film, Nina is a dedicated and hard-working dancer who has been with the company for years. However, she is overshadowed by the outgoing and charismatic dancer Lily (Mila Kunis). When the company's director, Thomas (Vincent Cassel), announces that they will be performing "Swan Lake," Nina is determined to land the lead role of the White Swan. However, Thomas tells Nina that she is not ready and assigns the role to Lily.
Nina becomes determined to prove Thomas wrong and begins to push herself to the limit in order to become the perfect White Swan. She becomes increasingly isolated and paranoid, convinced that Lily is trying to sabotage her chances at the role. As she becomes more and more consumed by her role, Nina begins to have strange and vivid hallucinations, which blur the lines between reality and fantasy.
As opening night approaches, Nina is finally given the chance to audition for the role of the White Swan. She performs beautifully, but when she is asked to also audition for the role of the Black Swan, she becomes overwhelmed and has a mental breakdown. Despite this, Thomas ultimately decides to give her the lead role in the production.
As the performance approaches, Nina becomes increasingly erratic and paranoid, convinced that Lily is trying to steal the lead role from her. She also begins to have strange sexual encounters and becomes more and more isolated from the rest of the company. Eventually, Nina's mental state deteriorates to the point where she can no longer distinguish between reality and her own hallucinations.
On the night of the performance, Nina takes the stage as the White Swan and delivers a stunning performance. However, as the play reaches its climax, she transforms into the Black Swan and delivers an equally impressive performance. As the curtain falls, Nina collapses on stage, having finally given in to the demands of the role.
Black Swan is a powerful and haunting film that explores the dark side of the world of ballet. Natalie Portman gives an outstanding performance as Nina, capturing the character's descent into madness with remarkable depth and intensity. The film is visually stunning, with beautiful cinematography and elaborate sets and costumes. It is a thought-provoking and emotionally powerful film that will leave a lasting impression on viewers.
