Being given the opportunity to star in one of those shows will be a breakthrough, a life-changing moment for them. So naturally, they will fight it out, no matter what it takes, to get the position.
Black Swan's Mystery
Black Swan follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter's professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.
Of course, this summary is nothing more than a loped-sided one. Of course, if you want to find out more, do go to Wikipedia and read the plot. Its really interesting.
Black Swan confusion
To be honest, I myself have yet to watch the movie. Having said that, simply by just reading the plot at Wiki, I'm already getting the goosebumps and I can totally imagine how the story will be laid out. The visuals, sound effectives, perfect. And the best part is, its filled with an abundance of great actresses and actors and directors. So, we do not have to worry about the perfect storyline being screwed by lousy actors and settings.
Nina was casted for the show entitled "Swan Dance" by the director, Leroy.
Its a very interesting role because it requires the ballerina to showcase a completely innocent side of her as she plays the "White Swan" and then morph into a "Black Swan" the next instant, who is guile and filled with sensuality.
Guile basically means craft, cunning and being filled with deceptive objectives.
It seems really difficult for Nina to portray the role of the Black Swan initially for she is so innocent and nice as a person. However, throughout the movie, she starts to change as a person.
Black Swan Movie
This is very interesting because its somewhat a reflection of our generation today. We start off as being perfect, clean, innocent and naive.
However, having been exposed to the rewards, money, fame and glory out there. We start to lose track sometimes and most of us won't ever get back on track anymore. We become lost forever.
In need of self-justification, we continue to walk down the path of evil, even though we are very well conscious of it. Nonetheless, its a path of no return.
I would assume that most of you would think that all of us are up to no good now. But I don't think its that bad yet, we still have yet to reach the point whereby we are plotting against someone to achieve our aims relentlessly.
Most of us can't do that now. At most, we are only termed selfish, not vicious and ruthless.
However, in due time, we might become ruthless. Anything that stands in our way, that prevent us from reaching our goals, will be obliterated. Spare no way, show no mercy. Cast emotions and friendships away and make use of every pawns you have.
When that time comes, we will then encapsulate the idea of a "Black Swan".
Black Swan
However, at the end of the movie, we can see that even though we turn into a "Black Swan", the "White Swan" in us is still very much still present. It will be overshadowed by the Black one, yes, but it will never be consumed by it.
There's no way of erasing the existence of the "White Swan" in us. That's the good news.
Hope you guys make some time to watch this movie for its really dark, controversial, manipulative and meaningful.
