Black Swan is a psychological thriller made in 2010 and is the fifth New York production of director Darren Aronofsky. Com was recognized or best film and best director the Spirit Awards and also was nominated for Oscars in which Natalie Portman was named best actress.
's new book tells the story Aronofsky of Nina Sayers, played by actress Natalie Portman- a ballet dancer who hopes to find a major role in the work of Swan Lake . True to his stylistic stamp, the director builds a psychological character with des mental orders, and as in Pi order from chaos, Requiem for a Dream and The Wrestler , the main character is profound and unpredictable.
Nina Sayers is a disturbing character not only for its apparent disorder, obsessive-compulsive , but because the director does - through the camera, the viewer is co nect mentally with it and feel their fears gradually. Aronofsky performs a sequence CIA close-to-shoulder camera head Nina as she walks to get to the academy, making it impossible to identify and recognize the character's face. Not only for the viewer to feel confused, but for demo strar that she is unknown.
By obtaining the role of the Swan Queen, Nina begins to discover another version of herself. Although it appears that this dancer is an extreme perfectionist who is overprotected by his mother, deep down she is losing notion of reality and fiction. On the other hand, the director shows the world of ballet from the side 'B' as a rejection the ballet aesthetic delight that the surface is delicate and subtle, but in the background is really grotesque and foot fractures the physical demands that are subject to the dancers.
New York This becomes evident director Nina duality and ignorance of itself, with the character Lily antagonist, played by Mila Kunis, who also is known for his performance. She is who makes the seed to finish Nina mad with jealousy and insecurity to her role. Clearly that Aronofsky, Lily represents Nina across all gaps and all you have to become to build the character of the black swan "to perfection." With the image of Lily , Nina is the perfect way to release their darkest thoughts and obsessions, even for free from the overprotection of his mother.
From the locker room separates the director Lily and Nina . Lily represents the black swan and for this reason is dressed in black, smoke and have a giant tattoo on the back which shows his aggressiveness and sensuality. Furthermore Nina always dressed in white and pink to show that "purity" and innocence.
Hollywood buzz , channel E entertainment television, we conducted an interview with Darren Aronofsky where he explained that his inspiration came one day when he went to see the ballet Swan Lake and found fascinating history of the white swan black and since it is a role played by the same dancer. Additionally, Aronofsky said that always had a close relationship with the world of ballet because her sister was a dancer. Therefore, he wanted to build a new version of Swan Lake with Black Swan. His version raised not only on stage at the ballet, but also draws a parallel with Nina who suffers from bipolar disorder, and as in the history of The Swan Lake, Nina is the white swan vulnerable and fragile and becomes the black swan , wicked, harmful and ravishing.
The parallel is obvious because the director not only creates an original story for the ballet is a Odette beautiful woman transformed into a swan because of a spell that can only be dissolved with a promise of love. Swan meets his love and he swears eternal love, but prevents the architect of this love spell and creates the black swan , an exact copy, but evil, the white swan to seduce the love of Odette . He is seduced by the charms of the swan wrong, and declares his love for the black swan , the witness, the white swan not stand this torture and suicide.
Aronofsky also makes Nina not released outside of the Swan Queen's role because she unconsciously copy history of "perfection." Thanks to the outstanding performance of Natalie Portman's character is subjected to a drastic physical and mental transformation that demonstrates the director's intention to make the parallel between the history of ballet and the life of the dancer. like the white swan, Nina starts as an innocent girl, a perfectionist and with the dream of being a dancer, but gradually is revealed to have psychological disorders. Until the last moment, Nina back to the Swan Queen, as well as the White Swan , the dancer finds peace by committing suicide.
Aronofsky makes up stifling the growing schizophrenic state of the protagonist and the subtle metamorphosis of your mind and, when least expected, the good girl, innocent and has consented to become the black swan , leaving out of breath public. L a distinctive mark of the director is evident because, as in his other films, he manages to connect the viewer with the character's innermost fears through close-ups of the face of Natalie Portman, who wordlessly expresses that environment psychotic in his head. addition, the sound director is supported to increase tension, madness Nina has its own macabre sound that appears each time she has a condition.
Aronofsky is not afraid of disgusting, actually loves to build sequences of planes with a rapid pace and so closed plans that do not allow the character away. This director is really a genius to awaken many reactions among the public, with the psychological terror that produces the form in which tells the story and finally makes the character's fears for eating the viewer.
the best style of the master of horror, Alfred Hitchcock, Aronofsky builds a suffocating mother instead of helping her daughter alters temper and represses a disease that leads to a crazy exaggerated forces her to become a ballerina and the press to get the lead role in The Swan Lake. Black Swan is a thriller thick and dense that not only surprises the viewer from scene to scene but throughout the film, produces a nausea.
