Especially when Nina turned into a black swan in the end, her wings became more and more abundant with each turn. When she was finalized, she reflected the shadow of a swan with wings at the end of the stage. As a dancer, she has become one with the character and has become a black swan with a strong heart. I love her makeup the most, the white base makeup, the long black eyeshadow, and the bright red lips. The ambitious and temperamental Black Swan finished the last dance with her domineering and nobleness, and stood on tiptoe and kissed Thomas, the man who used to seduce her, without any doubt. The man used to say: It's me seducing you, next time it's your turn to seduce me. That strong kiss made Thomas laugh, a fulfilling laugh, the black swan he wanted.
"The only person standing in your way is you, it's time to let her go. Lose yourself." Nina broke free from her mother's shackles and came to the theater. Thomas told her to let Lily play. However, at this time, the inner black swan has appeared :Did you announce it? Nina is no longer the girl who is pleading for Thomas to give her the role, she is a black swan, she believes, she is from the bottom of her heart, so she completely ignores Thomas' decision. Thomas saw this, so he had the opening sentence of this paragraph: The person standing in your way is you, it's time to let her go. Let go of the white swan, let go of the cowardly girl, and immerse yourself in the role of the black swan, in the indulgence in your bones.
At first I couldn't understand why there was a scene where the white swan fell on the stage. Later, I realized that after being dropped, she didn't keep saying sorry humbly, but said loudly to Thomas: "It wasn't my fault, he dropped me." The one who was once scolded by Thomas "I don't like it the most" The girl you said sorry" is gone.
Nina's changes are constantly shown throughout the film, climaxing at the end where the film ends. Finally Thomas asked Nina, who was bleeding from her abdomen, what she had done to her and how she got hurt. Nina didn't answer, just said: I felt it, PERFECT. That was perfect. Yes, this is the perfect she has been pursuing. Once Thomas asked her why she only focused on the superb skills when dancing, and couldn't let go. She whispered: I just want to be perfect. And Thomas told her: "Perfection is not just about control, it's also about letting go." What Nina had been missing was letting go. She was so well protected by her mother, As I get older, there are so many plush toys in the room. Of course, when she was transformed, she decisively threw away the things of these girls, and got it completely.
In fact, Nina's mother is a very tragic figure. She used to be a beautiful and proud ballerina like Nina, but because of her indulgence, she accidentally became pregnant with Nina. For Nina, she gave up her dance career, but she was also worried that her children would follow her own path. She is constantly protective. Even Nina stopped talking to her friend Lily, and persuaded her to go to bed. If it wasn't for her mother's actions that day, Nina wouldn't end up breaking out and go to a nightclub with Lily to get drunk.
Nina's fantasy and Lily's part is undoubtedly the most important part of the film. In a fierce kiss, Lily is wearing black bra and panties, while Nina's is white. The two colors are in sharp contrast, implying Nina's own white swan temperament, and Lily's black swan desire as an imaginary enemy. When Lily licks Nina's pussy, Nina undoubtedly enjoys it, she enjoys the pleasure of this black swan indulgence, which is a feeling of losing yourself. However, there was a moment in the middle when she found Lily, there was panic in her eyes, but she was still conquered by Lily's kiss, and was swayed by a strong and beautiful fantasy. The tattoo on Lily's back is like the wings of a black swan constantly flapping, as if a black swan is about to come out. Because it was a sexual fantasy, Nina was not conquered by Lily, but the desire in her heart that had been suppressed by her mother exploded.
In the film, Lily is a more casual person. She doesn't have very good dancing skills, but she can move with her heart. Lily dances to the soundtrack to a light-hearted piano minor that contrasts sharply with Nina's previous control every time she dances. In Thomas' words: "Imprecise, but effortless. She's not faking it." No wonder Nina uses her as an imaginary enemy, she has the kind of casualness that Nina lacks, the kind of sexy that black swans need. There is no progress without an opponent. It is an eternal truth. The imaginary enemy Lily is the main ripening agent for Nina's growth.
The only hero in the film is Thomas who can always say a lot of philosophical things. What kind of feelings does he have for Nina? I don't think he thinks a lot about Nina, although there are plenty of episodes where he's seducing Nina. The first time a strong kiss in his office, the second time discussing sex at his house, and the third time seducing her again in the dance studio. Every time I thought something would happen between them, it stopped abruptly. Thomas is a man, but as he asks a male ballerina: "Honestly, will you fuck this girl?" The answer is no. He believes that Nina lacks the sexual attraction that is so crucial for an actor. Audiences will like it only if it is attractive. All along, Thomas' job has been to channel Nina's sexual appeal. He was more affectionate to Nina. After Beth died, he caressed Nina's face and said that Beth's death had nothing to do with her, don't let it distract her. "This is your moment Nina, don't let it go." He hopes that his black and white swans can be successful, he hopes that this weak white swan can pick up the courage to bite him when being kissed, and become a brave black swan. Everyone's growth and success also need such a mentor. With them, they can give us a boost when we are confused, and have them guide us on a path that we never thought we could succeed.
Overall, it's a very detailed movie with just the right details: stolen lipstick, fluffy white scarf, pink fruit and cake, pink Mom's caller ID, Swan Lake's ringtone, etc... Really It is a perfect piece of work, every detail is meticulously crafted without any trace of excessive whitewashing. That's why it can be called a masterpiece. At the end of the film, the white swan Nina went down from the highest point of the stage and was very happy. The slow motion allowed us to see her enjoyment, unlike the panic during rehearsal. She finally got rid of her original self, lost control and got the PERFECTION she was thinking of.
"I felt it--perfect! That was perfect."
To Swan Lake.
