Is it because I'm not going to the movies now almost more than any movie makes me mad indeed?
I really wanted to see this movie, for the provision of Natalie Portman, of course, and because a passionate dance like me could only be curious to find out.
I knew this movie was special, he could not please, very dark, trashy, sexually strong enough.
is the story of a dancer, Nina, named for the role of the Swan in Swan Lake, making the passage, and rather abruptly, instead of the former ballerina. ;
The difficulty for Nina, a young girl stuck, feel guilty and under the influence of his mother, dancer fallen, will play in turn the White Swan, a role that its purity, control and technique make him a relatively comfortable, but also the Black Swan, the dark side of the first. To play this
black appearance, its ballet director (Vincent Cassel) is quietly, psychological torture to try to "wake up" to make him abandon the permanent control exercised over his emotions and his life. It will include using another dancer (Mila Kunis), less perfect but more free and more sensual, stimulating jealousy Nina, his sense of competition, and at the same time, his fear of competition.
Nina will have to go beyond technical perfection to express sensuality, cruelty and power of morbid Black Swan, which, in the ballet, the swan pushes suicide by seducing her lover.
The generic scene, where one follows Nina (Natalie Portman) dancing on stage the NY City Ballet, punctuated by his breathing, his emotions, I was immediately excited.
The beginning of the film seemed a bit long ... and simplistic appearance, contrasting white to black, good and evil, no dialogue very thorough, I was a little embarrassed.
But I quickly abandoned that feeling ... I quickly made the game, and I can say that this film was deeply moving. I think about all the time, I remember the choreography, I think the workload has shot Natalie Portman, flexibility, his instep, the body of a dancer she has carved perfection (The Oscar deserved this night!)
And I also think the work of Darren Aronofsky, who has done a real art film, while using the suspense, science fiction in small steps, and the revenues of the horror film.
With characters and a vision so full of archetypes, it could quickly fall into clichés, Manichaeism heavy ridicule.
He succeeded instead to spend a lot of posts in this film, whose theme is the ballet Swan Lake.
The dance world is fully transcribed (with a true perspective of author): its cruelty, competition between extreme members of the same ballet, making interchangeability serenity impossible.
For the scenes of mutilation, suffering physical, nail biting and body abused, the director described the abuse inflicted the dancers to excel in their art, which is also a sport of an exceptional standard.
We also see the importance for the dancer to break free from the grip of his mother that of her ballet director, to perhaps most importantly, to extricate its own channels.
Consequently, the importance of the discovery of her own sensuality, his fantasies, which allow also becoming an adult and win, is also beautifully expressed by this film.
It notes the need for an artist to feed, by his private life, his creative work to give it substance, a soul, a reality ... that technical perfection alone does not.
There is finally "giving birth in pain" that all artists are well aware, when they are finally settled and transcended enough to embody and complete their work.
The talent of the director is tracing the history of Swan Lake on, finally, the script of the film. Competition between the black swan and the white swan is the perfect metaphor for the competition between the two dancers together, which itself reflects the reality competition that engages Nina herself. In the words of Leroy, the director of ballet, his first weakness, the first competitor is finally ... itself.
The closing scenes shocked me, where we see Nina finally free, dancing in a trance, his eyes bloodshot, his body becomes the body of concrete swan, black swan scenes, then the White Swan.
La Nina shy, retiring, prudish, rigid, not giving no room for pleasure, finally leaves room for a sensual, sublime, the seductive power tenfold thanks to intense letting go. Enjoyment while she dances, can finally serve his technique.
There is, bewitched, the issuance of Nina, where she defeated in every sense of the term, against itself, in a perfect blend of white and black, good and evil, suffering and the pleasure, birth and killing.

The sound of his breath, or even its rails, is superimposed on the well-known music of the ballet to give a dramatic and sexual tension really successful.
Some come out of this film and make this remark: "Nina is schizophrenic."
I'm not at all agree. Most scenes in this movie are not real (and therefore no matter they are not realistic!).
my opinion, and despite its problems, Nina is no more insane than anyone . His conflicts with his mother, his violent struggle with its rival, but the fantasies that it gives birth to her house, all these scenes are allegories, metaphors.
It is only the representation of anxieties, dark thoughts, desires that everyone can feel morbid against an opponent in life.
Who has not dreamed of eliminating a competitor, wished evil to others, who never indulged in reveries immoral or harmful to achieve his ends? Which competitor has ever been the victim of paranoid anxieties?
Who has never felt guilty in relation to a person who was so occupied with you (here, the mother, if she caricatured abuse may be an image), to want to break free from the grip of that person or to flee, finally there, to express his wishes? And power and take to become better than his master?
The director shows us scenes that are mostly invented by the heroine, not experienced. And I think even those that might be more realistic (like when Nina discovers, dumbfounded, waking, still troubled by erotic dreams, her mother stayed with her all night), are only symbols (here, that of the mother / daughter and guilt to assume femininity).
And since this weekend I am going back and forth that film loop in my head ... each time discovering new meanings. This film could have been simplistic (and missed) is proving a rich psychological infinite.
Upsetting, I tell you.
