There is no location shooting at all in the whole film, the training hall, the promenade of the dressing room, the dark subway, the stage, the shaking lens, there is no bright light during the day, and no sky. From the beginning to the end, the story is always confined in dimness or even darkness, just as the plot repeatedly oppresses the protagonist's heart. Natalie Portman perfectly interpreted the Puritan dancer Nina with her skinny body, pale face, and horrified eyes. The split on the stage of the film contributed to the exposure of the hidden personality in reality, and the split in reality in turn resulted in the creation of two extreme roles on the stage. And the madness of the ballet dancers pursuing the pure and beautiful artistic realm makes the theme of the story more condensed and classic.
Director Darren Aronofsky has controlled the layout of "Black Swan" within a small range. No matter in terms of story, role, or connotation, there is not much ambition. The audience only needs to appreciate it carefully and pay attention to the details. The suspense involved in the film will not be ambiguous, so that it is easy to shoot a relatively perfect small and exquisite work, so that the artistic atmosphere is full of the whole film. In the suspense design of schizophrenia and the role relationship, the director adopted a "quick-solving" method, that is, after creating suspense and horror, quickly reveal the answer to the audience, and prevent the audience from being indiscriminate and obscure. Incomprehensible feelings.
