Repression and Passion - The Original Power of "Black Swan"

The style of the whole film is beautiful and suffocating, mixed with original passion and dark undercurrent.
Control and anti-control, doppelganger, sex and liberation, the perfection of death, the multiple themes embody the grandeur of Aronofsky's vision. In a film of less than 120 minutes, he wants to express too much, of course, it is impossible to complete it all in one battle, so each theme has just bloomed its tentacles, and all these are entangled together, forming together, depression. It is difficult to determine whether Nina chose ballet or ballet chose Nina. Her controlling mother wrapped her careful daughter with selfish ideals and suppressed black swan with white swan. And once Nina finds a small exit, the power of the ego will burst out desperately, Aronofsky named this power, suicide, sex, scramble, death.
This is a successful transformation of Natalie Portman, and Kunis also fully displayed her sexy. I have to mention Winona, the young girl who played Mina in "The Four Hundred Years of Vampire Zombies". She used to be very popular, but was gradually forgotten after the rise of the new star. I believe Beth's role will Make her feel deeply.
Thoughts can lie, but the real feeling of the body can never lie. Self-restraint has its limits. At the same time, this film also shows the spiritual crisis of modern people, a profound experience of being at a high altitude. The rhythm of the film changes from slow to haste. The horror of the last half hour is chilling at the fingertips. After enough foreplay, it pushes to the climax. The director has a good grasp of the film as a whole. This is where mainland horror films should study seriously.

    Natalie Portman's post-apocalyptic work is conquered and conquered both in and out of the play.

    This overly simplistic movie is to a large extent Portman's autobiography. Child stars always live in the shadow of the white swan. Even until the end of this film, I think Portman’s interpretation of the white swan is more natural and easier than the interpretation of the black swan. In Portman, who overplays the black swan, it’s so easy for us to hear Matilda, the always 12-year-old voice: "I've grown up, I'm just getting old." But Matilda, you are not at all Not old.
