The play in this movie is Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake", which tells that the pure princess is bound to the shape of a white swan by a curse. Only when she encounters the true love of the prince can she recover. Just when she thought she was about to be rescued, the prince was confused by the black swan and mistakenly made an oath. And there are often two main endings: the tragic prince and princess double-throw into the lake, and the happy victory over the devil in a happy reunion. The tragic ending is selected in the movie. Of course, if the happy ending of this ballet is used, then the whole movie will be untenable.
The bridge related to the ballet is the most beautiful part of the film, especially the dancing posture of the heroine. The shot was done in one go. I wanted to come to the photographer and actor to practice for a long time. Coupled with the adaptation of the dark version of Lao Chai's music, it is really shocking. It's just that most of these should be attributed to Lao Chai, and the plot and characters as part of the movie are really thin.
Director Aronofsky said in an interview to promote the film: "This film was inspired by Polanski's black and white film "Repulsion" in 1965. "This is simply the biggest spoiler. I didn't expect him to be almost Completely copied the concept of "Cold Blood Cry": the slow and calm at the beginning of the film, the loss of control of the heroine in the middle of the film, and even the final explanation, from the rhythm to the logic, the only difference is the setting of the ballerina and the subsequent The motive of pursuing artistic perfection. I never liked those horror movies of Polanski in the 1960s and 1970s. I always felt that they were too artificial and confusing, but because I knew that Polanski’s childhood was spent in Poland under Nazi occupation. So I can understand his cup, bow and snake shadow in a Freudian way. For countless imitators in Hollywood, including Aronofsky, it can only be said to be mediocre and stupid. What's more, Polanski's original work at least does not show off blood and eroticism as a gimmick, which makes "Black Swan" seem a little too talented and not worthy of respect.
The plot is nothing new, and the characters are just not lost. The heroine’s mother, senior (sighing for the lateness of the beauty of Verona), and competitors. These three women seem to have a little past that makes them what they are now, but they all want to talk about it, but since they are completely female The protagonist’s perspective is understandable. The director of the dance drama is an interesting alternative hero. He does not care about the physical and mental health of his dancers, but only cares about how to drive them to make his dance drama more perfect. He can use provocative temptation as a means of stimulating the progress of his followers, but he can never control himself. Lost in it. Finally, of course, Natalie, just like her role, she has a stronger grasp of the character of the white swan than the character of the black swan. Her only convincing black swan performance was at the end, and it was thanks to heavy makeup. Her temperament and appearance can't make people think of temptation and gorgeousness.
