Is it that exciting?

It turns out that the director was really influenced by "Cold Blood"... When I watched it, I felt that both the creativity and the skinny face of the heroine were quite similar to him, but the main source of stress in this film became dance, white Swans, black swans, the intention of using a lot of mirrors, the feeling of "two-sided" pops up, but to be honest, I was scared to death by "Cold Blood", and I feel that this kind of self-justifying psychological logic is not new at all, and it is horrifying. It's not uncommon to feel that it's also built - at least it didn't shock me.

The most impressive thing:

NINA's room, although I like corridors and corners very much, but her and mother's apartment is obviously too rugged and turned too far, very cramped, very depressing, it's no wonder that this kind of room stays for a long time without going crazy .

The makeup of the black swan, blood red eyes and black wings, is very beautiful and very feeling.

Dancing is actually full of amateurs... Although Swan Lake is familiar to the ears, it seems to be a bad street, but it is indeed a super classic ballet. Natalie's taste is relatively correct, and her body is also in line, but the hand position is still different from that of professional actors. There is a small gap, but she is better than the second female no matter what.

Music, full of spirit, blended with water and milk.

Acting, Natalie did a great job. It's just weird that she doesn't seem to be born into the type of actor that can impress me, because her performance seems to be always within the rules and lacks enthusiasm... As for the scale, I want to say that this is not a big scale for European actors at all. ... But in all honesty, the biggest highlight of this film is her performance, which has a very complete performance space.
I myself went for Vincent's classmate, and I felt that he successfully completed the task. ~~

From a psychological point of view, the self in artistic creation is likely to interact unexpectedly with the self outside of creation. It is actually very interesting to write an essay from this perspective. The biggest disappointment I feel about this film comes from the prior I thought it would seriously and stubbornly express this conflict, but it turned out that it was just one of several condiments~~~~

Overall, it was fancy enough, depressing enough, and not profound enough.

    It is simply an interpretation of how an actor becomes an experiential school. The film is perfect! ★★★★

    The stories are more old-fashioned and lack novelty; and there is little in-depth exploration. But the atmosphere and spirit are fully grasped, and the shots are very tense, delicate and beautiful. Portman is great, but like the character, she's still too much of a white swan.
