Oranges born in Huainan are oranges, while those born in Huaibei are oranges.

There is a famous saying in "Yanzi Chunqiu" that oranges are orange when they are born in Huainan, and oranges are orange when they are born in Huaibei. This is my first feeling after watching "Black Swan".
The story of this movie is simple. The heroine is protected by her mother who was a ballerina. The white swan dance technique is perfect, but the black swan dance is unsatisfactory. As a result, under the temptation of the coach and the tremendous pressure, mental illnesses continue to produce hallucinations.
The final stage performance is divided into three acts. In the first act, the heroine has hallucinations, which makes the white swan a little flawed. But the heroine's white swan technique is very good, after all, it did not cause too bad influence. In the second act, the heroine's hallucinations are more serious. The imaginary lieutenant wants to replace her black swan actor stabbed to death, so the heroine is no longer afraid that someone can replace herself, release herself to the fullest, and achieve the perfect performance of the black swan. Everyone’s approval. In the third act, the heroine discovers that the murder is only her own illusion, and that she is the one who was stabbed. So the heroine suddenly woke up and staged the swan song of her life.
In fact, it is not difficult to find that the fate of the heroine coincides with the story of Swan Lake. When I was young, I saw a story about red dancing shoes, which had the same meaning.
I just want to say that such a story, put on a stage play, or a pure ballet performance, can be so beautiful and beautiful, sad and sad. Unfortunately, this is a movie. The dream space that should have been left to the stage audience, whether it was beautiful or sad, has become something tangible. Simply put, it is the director who has thought about it for you. This is the biggest failure of the movie. As a result, the movie audience only saw the pressure of the heroine turned into exaggerated and horrifying scenes under the director, and the scenes of horror scenes made people shudder. After reading it, it was a feeling at best, that the woman danced and became crazy.
Therefore, this movie is a failure.
