Just as "The Biography of Mozart" is the film variation version of Mozart's posthumous work "Requiem", this film is the film variation version of Lao Chai's "Swan Lake". From the beginning to the end of the whole film, it is completely in accordance with the sequence of the movements of "Swan Lake". The tension of the film and the original soundtrack have reached a perfect level. But one aspect of this film that is far more than "Mozart" is the actors.
Natalie Portman is simply amazing. Not to mention the rest, what impressed me the most was that she started putting on makeup after knowing that she was injured, and was preparing to play the last death of a swan. Her expression changed from fear and tears to slowly becoming Smile, she already knew that this was her destiny, she felt like she had completely become that swan, and she was going to put on a perfect performance.
In addition, the performances of the supporting roles are also very amazing, especially the choreographer played by Vincent Cassel, who suddenly kissed him after the black swan came off stage. Go, tearful eyes. At this time, our previous doubts about this character - what was the purpose of his previous sexual harassment-like behavior towards NINA - were solved. He finally created this perfect black swan.
Finally, one of the things that amazes me is that at the end, NINA smiled and said, That was perfect, I can't tell how I felt when I heard this sentence, but I felt like tears were about to fall.
It is estimated that only this Russian-born director can interpret the variation of Lao Chai's Swan Lake so well, which is perfect. By the way, Aronofsky's filming technique is also amazing, and this technique of follow-up filming makes people integrate into the plot in an instant. Add some small processing on the sound, such as the sound of panting, the sound of wings when the swan is flying, it makes people feel a little dreamy, and soon they feel that they are the characters in the play.
