Description of this Black Swan Movie Poster
Black Swan is a 2010 American psychological thriller and horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky. It stars Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey, and Winona Ryder. Portman won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe, and the American Critics and Screenwriters Association Award for her performance in the film. Additionally, the film garnered nominations for the BAFTA, the Golden Globe, and the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Aronofsky conceived the premise by connecting his take on Swan Lake with a truncated storyline about stand-in actors and the notion of being stalked by a double. The director also considered Black Swan a companion piece to his previous film, The Fighter, with both films wrapped in successful interpretations of different types of art. He and Portman first discussed the project in 2000, and after a brief engagement with Universal Pictures, Black Swan was produced in New York in 2009 under Fox Searchlight Pictures. Portman and Kunis trained as ballet dancers for months. Notable figures from the dance world helped the production shape the ballet performance. The film opened the 67th Venice International Film Festival on September 1, 2010. The film premiered on December 1, 2010.
Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) is an introverted young dancer at a prestigious New York City ballet company. She lives with her mother, Erica (Barbara Hershey), who is a former dancer and who consents to her and treats her like a daughter. The company is preparing to open the season with Swan Lake. Director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) must choose a new principal dancer after forcing Beth Macintyre (Winona Ryder) to retire. Thomas wants the same dancer to portray both the innocent and fragile White Swan and her dark, sensual twin, the Black Swan. Nina auditions for the play, performing perfectly as the White Swan, but is unable to fully emulate the characteristics of the Black Swan. Although Nina does not perform well in her audition, she approaches Thomas and asks him to reconsider her for the lead role. He tells her that she is the ideal dancer to portray the White Swan, but she lacks the passion needed to properly portray the Black Swan.
Nina reluctantly agrees and decides to leave when Thomas stops her and scolds her for giving up too easily. Although she praises her technique, she criticizes her mechanical performance, saying that she has not seen her lose it once. Nina says she wants to be perfect, to which Thomas responds by saying that perfection isn’t about control, it’s about “letting go.” When Thomas forcibly kisses Nina, who exhibits a change in temperament and bites her, he convinces himself to give her the role of Swan Queen. A drunken Beth angrily confronts Thomas and Nina. Later, she is hit by a car and seriously injured, which Thomas suspects was a suicide attempt. Nina begins to witness strange occurrences. Thomas, for his part, becomes increasingly critical of her “frigid” dancing and advises her to stop being a perfectionist and lose herself on paper. Thomas makes an example of Lily (Mila Kunis), a dancer who has just joined the company, whom she describes as lacking Nina’s impeccable technique but who has an uninhibited quality that Nina has not demonstrated. The relationship between the two dancers is strained due to Lily’s indiscretions. One night, Lily appears at Nina’s apartment to invite her over. Nina is hesitant at first, but determined to rebel against her mother, she goes out with Lily.
At a bar that night, Lily offers Nina an ecstasy capsule to help her relax. Although he assures her that its effects only last a few hours, Nina rejects him. Lily then slips the capsule into her drink while he’s gone. Nina catches a glimpse of it but decides to drink anyway. Nina comes home late, fights with her mother, locks her bedroom door, and kisses Lily. The two undress, and Lily performs oral sex on Nina until the latter seemingly drowns her with a pillow. The next morning, Nina wakes up looking for Lily and discovers she’s alone and will be late for rehearsal. When he arrives at the studio, he encounters Lily dancing as the Swan Queen. Furious, she confronts Lily, believing they’re already in couple, she asks why she didn’t wake her up that morning. After Lily admits to spending the night with a man she met at the club, Nina realizes she dreamed about the encounter. Nina’s hallucinations become stronger when she sees Thomas and Lily having sex in a backstage area and, after visiting Beth at the hospital, decides to stab herself in the face with a nail file, the same thing that causes Nina to fall from her bloody hands in the elevator.
Later, he has a violent argument with his mother, after which he passes out. Concerned about Nina’s erratic behavior, her mother tries to stop him from giving his opening night presentation; enraged, Nina gets up and leaves the apartment. Thomas assigns Lily to take over, as Nina’s mother called to say she was sick, but reluctantly backs out when Nina insists on playing the lead role. The first act takes place Well, until Nina is picked up by her dance partner, she is distracted by a hallucination, causing her partner to abandon her. Distraught, she returns to her dressing room and finds Lily there. Lily informs her that she will be performing the Black Swan. Furious, Nina throws her against a mirror, breaking it.
Lily, seemingly dead, suddenly awakes, and her face changes shape, transforming into another Nina. Her double begins strangling Nina, who then grabs a piece of mirror and stabs her rival in the stomach, seemingly killing her. Her double’s face reverts to Lily’s. Nina hides the body in the bathroom. This action makes Nina feel passionate and returns to the stage to dance completely uninhibited.
Nina begins to see black feathers sprouting from her body, her toes begin to gather like birds, her arms become black wings, and she finally loses herself and transforms into a swan black. At the end of the act, he receives a standing ovation. Offstage, Thomas and the rest of the cast congratulate her on her impressive performance. Nina catches Thomas by surprise and kisses him. Back in her dressing room before the final act, Nina is congratulated by Lily, revealing that her fight was, once again, imaginary. The mirror, however, was still in pieces. Nina pulls a small shard from her own body and realizes she has stabbed herself. Dancing the last scene, in which the White Swan is thrown off a cliff, Nina discovers her mother’s scream in the audience. When Nina falls on her back on a hidden mattress, the theater erupts in applause. Thomas and the cast gather to congratulate her, only to discover she is bleeding. As the white ceiling lights envelop her, he whispers, “I felt it. Perfect. It was perfect.” Meanwhile, Thomas tells the others to call an ambulance, asking them to save Nina.
