      Human Nature and Character Psychology in "Black Swan"

      I always feel that movies do not express ideas on a single line. There are many themes: human desires, resistance and break free from control, and how to integrate the two extremes of human conflict or even opposition... In fact, people are a bit complicated. Yes, but black swans and white swans are like simplified models, and the art stage is almost a microcosm of human nature. In fact, I think the director believes that human nature is not simply balancing one's own desires and innocence, but...

      I'm not your property, but I love you

      A work full of psychological metaphors, with equal emphasis on skills and levels, and clear and orderly thinking.
      At the beginning of the film, Nina's family has a loving mother, and her character is docile and delicate. However, the role this time is not ordinary. It needs one person to play two roles. The white swan Nina deserves it, but the black swan she can't understand the essence.
      She has also erupted, but her delicate appearance is like an unbreakable shell, what is holding...

      leap over

      Everyone has a black swan in their hearts.

      Black, usually representing sadness, loneliness, darkness, anger, seems to always be the opposite of white.

      But is that all it takes? Isn't that strong, longing, roaring, and struggling power the source of life after death?

      It was almost incomparably depressing and painful to watch the entire movie, endured the gushing emotions, and left the theater silently.

      It took more than 2 weeks to get out of the mood of...

      I felt it--perfect.

      There are not many movies I have seen, and there are only two that have left a deep imprint in my heart so far, one is the Japanese "Battle Royale", and the other is this. Not shocked by its thriller or erotica (thriller, is there?), but deeply impressed by its artistic expression.
          Especially when Nina turned into a black swan in the end, her wings became more and more abundant with each turn. When she was finalized, she reflected the shadow of a swan with wings at the end of the...

      Both enemies and friends, never give up

      The dancer spends his whole life with his body, shaping it and transcending it. Get along with your own body day and night, both enemies and friends, even if you get bored, you will never leave.

      The twelve-year-old girl sitting on the stairs smoking a cigarette in "Leon the Killer" never left Portman, but turned more and more inward. At the age of 28, she plays such a lonely dancer, crazy and unable to survive. Finally, I jumped off the high stage and saw perfection.

      The...

      I liked Black Swan before I watched it, and I liked Black Swan even more after watching it. This film surprised me, the dance surprised me, I didn't expect it to have such a good effect....

      The only thought in this world is desire. It is beautiful and deadly. Even if it is short, it will last forever. Its power can withstand thousands of holy and unbearable things. It can destroy everything and achieve everything. A beautiful stage adorned with applause and admiration, that's...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Director Darren Aronowski believes that "Black Swan" and "Wrestler" are sister films.
    There is a sex scene between two women in the film. In order to make Natalie Portman less embarrassed, Mila Kunis suggested that she drink a little alcohol before filming. So Portman drank a whole bottle of strong tequila. For the next day and a half, Portman had to fall on the bed drunk. In this regard, Aronofsky felt very guilty.
    The crew first...

    North America Evaluation

    Neither "Red Lingyan" nor "Comet Beauty" is not as disturbing as "Black Swan". If you want to find some kind of hardcore content in the film about the female ballet dancer, then "Black Swan" will be your best choice. ("Hollywood Report" review )
    Aronowski has mastered the easy and easy filming skills of Polanski or Cronenberg in the early days. The terrifying and shocking psychological scenes in the last third of the film are very much...

    China Evaluation

    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...
