Plot analysis

I. Picture: 1. The metaphor of color and clothing color is the most common and obvious white and pink: white swan and Nina. Black: Black Swan, Mom, Lily and Beth. Gray: The only leading actor-Thomas, artistic director of the dance company. White: Nina's pillow is black and white. In many waking shots, her head is right in the center of the black vine pattern; Her snow-white scarf, fluffy, is not only a symbol of white swan feathers, but also like the soft body of a bird. This fluffy dress symbolizes purity. Not long ago, I saw it in "Single Man": Kenny, played by nicholas hoult and representing the angel of redemption, wore such a fluffy white sweater. ) pink: Nina's room is almost completely decorated with pink; On the first morning of the opening ceremony, my mother brought me fruit cut in half for breakfast. Nina murmured like a little girl, "Pink, how beautiful!" "Nina's mobile phone has appeared many times. You can see that when the word" mom "appears on her mobile phone screen, the background color is pink. Nina's scarf was pale pink when she curled up in the aisle to practice her arm movements. After she was chosen as the "swan queen", the fluffy scarf disappeared, which is a symbol of the fluffy chicken. However, when Nina was tempted by Thomas and threw it away, she sat in front of the mirror and cried. At this time, the fluffy scarf appeared again, which should mean that she was wandering and miserable at this time and returned to the state of shrinking chicken. Gray: when she frequently has hallucinations, the coat she wears when practicing dancing changes from white to gray; Her household clothes have also turned gray-gray has infiltrated Nina's pink world. Lily gave Nina a sexy black vest in the bar. Nina put it outside the white dress. The night after taking hallucinogenic drugs, Nina's sweater turned completely dark gray. During Nina's "white period", her shoes were dull, non-aggressive and non-ambitious gray cotton snow boots, in contrast to Lily's charming black leather boots. 2. Swan Swan is a complex and peculiar image, which can represent purity, but it can also be the embodiment of lewdness: Zeus, the god of gods, was dumped by the beauty of Rita, the wife of Tindario, king of Sparta, and became a swan and had sex with him. Swan's snow-white body, soft and charming long neck, soft and smooth feathers and plump and fleshy body are also the ultimate combination of female sexual characteristics. Another symbolic meaning of the swan is the poetic aesthetic embodiment of the artist, which is used in Saint Sang's Death of the Swan and the proverb Song of the Swan. The image of swan is everywhere in this film. The music of Swan Lake makes the whole movie look like a musical. In addition, there is Nina's ringtone, a music box with Swan Lake rhythm and ballet figures. I think the most important swan image appeared when Nina was lying in the bathtub (the 50th minute). The audience can see a small box on the right side of the lens, and the picture of a white swan is made up of colored dots on the box. In the company of this swan, Nina masturbates in the bathtub-only her moaning face with closed eyes and the figure of the swan. This is actually a visual scene of the story of Rita and the Swan, and Nina even cast a charming glance at the swan! But at last, Nina was awakened by the blood dripping into the water. Many women in the film have the characteristics of black swan. The first black swan, of course, is Lily. The second black swan is Beth. The third black swan is Nina's "other self". It should be noted that the black swan is not a symbol of complete evil. It represents desire and struggle, not cowardice, not to hide or suppress all desires. The only principle of black swan is the principle of pursuing pleasure. (In the 27th minute, a black dance teacher taught Nina how to play the black swan. The camera stared at the old woman's exposed shoulder blades for a long time, and the butterfly's bones slid under the aging and shriveled skin. This is an old swan that can't fly any more. 3. Nails and scratches: After Nina had a dream caught by the Dark Lord, she found a scar on her scapula for the first time. She avoided and covered it up, so as not to let her mother care too much; Later, scratches appeared frequently; Her toenails are broken and she is still bloody; At the dinner where Thomas introduced the Swan Queen, Nina found blood stains on her nails. She hid in the bathroom and tried to peel off the skin separated from the nail groove. What makes people feel palpitation is that she tore off a bloody epidermis, but when she gasped to wash the blood underwater, she found that the wound was gone; Later, Nina's mother dragged her to the bathroom and got a sullen manicure. Nailing is a sharp weapon for the "black swan" to struggle out of its cocoon. Mother's behavior represents rude "disarmament" and repression. All kinds of appearances suggest that Nina's other self is more and more eager to break out of the cocoon and get rid of this clean, serious and lifeless body. From a virgin to a woman, there needs to be a painful and bleeding ceremony. There is blood everywhere, which symbolizes Nina's gradual awakening of sexual consciousness and her spiritual leap from virgin to woman. Or, Nina is not a virgin. She was forced to answer this question by Thomas. However, when he asked, "Do you like sex?" Nina's face is not the memory of beautiful things, but the disgust of having to evoke ugly memories. If she has not experienced the pleasure of happiness, spiritually speaking, she is still a virgin. Nina tried to masturbate in the bathtub for a while. Note: masturbation requires hands. Frightened by the face hanging on the water, she surfaced and found her fingers bleeding-the hands used to masturbate. In other words, "appeasing" her is the "black swan" in her heart. When cutting nails in front of the bathroom mirror, it was Nina who tried to cut off the "nails", and the ugly smile in the mirror made her cut her skin and bleed, and it was herself who longed to break out. Lily: Lily has a black tattoo on her shoulder blade. At first glance, it looks like an unfolded wing, and it may run its teeth. Looking closely, we can see that the pattern is two flowers that open side by side, symbolizing the juxtaposition of good and evil. On the night when Lily appeared, Nina bumped into herself for the first time on her way home, dressed in black and with long hair fluttering. This is the first time that the "black swan" in her subconscious appears, suggesting that Nina actually admires Lily with all kinds of amorous feelings. Lily took Nina to the bar to have fun. After returning from the bar, Nina's worst idea appeared. Looking closely at this video, we can see that the director hinted that Lily did not exist before the next morning: when Nina entered the door with a smile, her figure appeared in the polygon mirror, divided into countless "Nina", suggesting that she had been divided at this time; Mom appeared and didn't say hello to "Lily" (at first sight, I might take this as mom's dissatisfaction with Lily or deliberate neglect, but when I went back, I realized that Nina was the only one who entered the door from beginning to end); Here is a more obvious hint (1 hour 06): Lily's image flashed behind Nina's figure in the mirror, and she crept away with a smile, which meant that Lily had split from Nina's brain. Later, Nina "took Lily" and ran back to her bedroom. When she shut her mother out of the door, she could clearly see a gray and pink-edged coat hanging on the door-gray was the main color and pink retreated to the edge. Mother shouted, "You are not my Nina! "Because Nina is really not a mother's daughter, she belongs to herself and succumbs to desire. When "Lily" and Nina get along in a same-sex way, because of their unique posture, both the viewer and Nina can see Lily's weird twisted scapula and the tattoo on it: the black swan reappears from the flowers and flies with its wings flapping. At this time, two kinds of strings, the sinister cello and the slender and sad violin, are intertwined. Against Nina's face, it is no longer a pillow with black and white patterns, but an ambiguous and gorgeous pink pillow with colorful circular patterns, which symbolizes perfect intercourse-light pink symbolizes innocent girls, and flesh red symbolizes sexiness. Lily's face is always buried between Nina's legs, but there is a tearing sound of "breaking cocoon". When Nina woke up from the climax, she found that Lily's face was herself. This is the first time she has seen herself in Lily. When Nina finished the rehearsal on the last day, she found Thomas and Lily having a good time in the dark corner of the stage. However, in a trance, that dissolute and happy face is her own, and the person possessed by herself is not Thomas but the dark Lord in the play. Falling in love with Thomas is Nina's heartfelt hope, and being ravaged by the Dark Lord is the materialization of her true spiritual status. It is worth noting that the background symphony of this paragraph is mixed with a strange bird's "Gege" cry, which should be Nina's "black swan" eager to break out of the body. When Nina flew away in fright, there was the sound of birds spreading their wings and flapping their wings. 5. Mother: The mother who is always dressed in black has a long abstinence face, and her old hand is like a bird's paw on her daughter's pink arm. She used to be a dancer in the company, but now she still has connections. She can master Nina's actions and performance in the company. My mother's hobby is sitting in her room and drawing. She described her when she was young, and Nina's face-the woman in the portrait had a mole on her cheek. We can trace back to her past: once brilliant, she gave birth to an illegitimate daughter because she was addicted to love, which ruined her dance career, so she thought lewdness and sex were destructive and forced her daughter to stay in the ignorance of teenagers. Have abnormal control desire and love for her daughter. Jelinek's piano teacher also plays up this abnormal mother-daughter relationship. ) 6. Nina and Thomas's three paragraphs: A. Nina, who was waiting for him outside Thomas's door, broke up the meticulous bun for the first time (the bun symbolizes abstinence and strict self-discipline), and was not used to the bright red rouge cream on her lips (lipstick came from Beth), and she could not help but raise her hand to wipe it. At this moment, her heart is contradictory: in order to get what she dreams of, she has to use the long-neglected gender charm to make a final attempt-she actually realizes that she is beautiful, but she always disdains to publicize and use it. This is also the psychology of some middle school girls when gender differences germinate: trying to tighten their bulging breasts and being ashamed of their sexual characteristics. When she faced Thomas, she was like a child who made a mistake facing the teacher with a bad report card. I was so short of breath that I was about to cry. At this time, Nina didn't even have a "woman". When she came to compete for the role, it was like asking the teacher to make up the exam. She always muttered, "I can do it. I tried it last night. "She is still afraid to show her most primitive weapons. When Thomas praised her as "beautiful and elegant", Nina's face did not show relief and slight joy, but her eyes became more anxious and she ran away in panic. Under his pressure, Nina uttered the word "perfection" for the first time (dancers are mostly perfectionists, and the confusing "perfection" often makes them fall into a state of obsession). Thomas grabbed her delicate chin and kissed her savagely. If it was the woman next to me, I'm afraid I would immediately tell her that her tongue was black and transport her to Tianjin and Zuihua, taking advantage of the situation. However, Nina, an ignorant woman, bit her boss. It can be said that Thomas has already made up his mind. Helping Nina become a white swan, all the twists and turns are just a deliberate process of forging her. Or it can be said that in Nina's bite, Thomas saw that she was not weak or even fierce, so he believed that she was still a useful material. At some point, thomas gray's behavior will mislead people into thinking that he is a boss who wants to hide Nina's hidden rules. In fact, he is not dirty at all. He saw this girl as a rough diamond, hoping to sublimate her to a higher level through the polishing of love. The highest form of charm in all arts is actually simulated happiness. Therefore, an artist who doesn't understand love and sex will never reach the highest level. They need to know and appreciate the exotic fragrance and sweetness of the fruits in that garden before they can simulate one or two things on the stage, thus leading the audience to immerse themselves in similar wonderful places. B. After coming out of Thomas' office, Nina sat in the corner (she always sits alone in the corner, which is a sign of a timid little girl) and tied her hair violently, which means that she regrets her previous "debauchery" and wants to quickly return to the shell that makes her feel safe and abstinent. (In the 45 minutes of the film, Nina broke her bun for the first time while practicing dancing. When spinning, her long hair floats in the air in a graceful curve, which means that the "black swan" in her heart is beginning to show signs. C. Thomas's understanding is that dancers should exude sexual charm and make the audience fall in love with you. He personally danced with Nina and skillfully wiped the sensitive parts of women with his palm, which successfully aroused Nina's madness. The background string is gradually strengthened, which is dangerous and full of temptation. The dark training room is like Adam and Eve's garden. Thomas repeatedly said "open your mouth", and Nina gradually moved, raising her hand and stroking Thomas's head and neck, entangled with him. This is a critical moment when her sexual consciousness is completely awakened. This man is really well-meaning. After Nina won a tsunami of applause, he whispered, "Did you hear that? They love you. " On the eve of the premiere, Nina cried to Thomas on the stairs. He looked up at her and looked at the tears on her sad little face-he lifted her to a lonely place. 7. The subway is a wonderful place. Noisy, dark, narrow and crowded space, countless strangers who have to get close to each other, figures reflected from glass doors and windows in the dark, and the biting roar of the wind, the carriage is like a huge iron box full of nightmares. Nina first put on lipstick in the reflection of the subway window. Thomas once asked Nina's male dancer, "Do you want to play with her?" -Nina's asexual attraction at this time. When Nina's sexual consciousness woke up, an old man in the subway made an obscene move on her. It is worth noting that there are many empty seats in the empty carriage-the subway scene has appeared many times, but this time there is almost no one in the carriage. The director hinted that Nina could change seats, but she didn't show any strange expression or change seats, just calmly turned away-she didn't hate it, and even secretly thanked herself for having such original attraction. 8. Sculpture: After the banquet, Nina waited for Thomas in the hall. There was a strange statue in the center of the hall. When Nina is absorbed in the prison statue, the music is gloomy, reminding the audience to pay attention. Like the devil in a nightmare, the statue attracts the ignorant girl step by step: the facial features are blurred, the face is painted pale, the arm is broken, only the wings are high above, the legs are tight, the body is upright in a suffering posture, and the lower body has male characteristics. The meaning of this sculpture: If you want wings, you have to give up your arms and wait for suffering. -the sexual characteristics of male nakedness, metaphor is unknown. Or figurative "fit"? 9. Beth: Nina stole a lipstick from Beth's messy dressing room. This means that she actually secretly expects herself to be as charming as Beth's female demon; Beth's knife symbolizes her aggression-this is what the white swan subconsciously expects. What she is worried about is that Beth's today is her tomorrow, losing the dancer's legs and her appearance. So, I saw Beth/herself madly inserting a knife into her face in my illusion. On the eve of 10, I quoted a passage from Zweig: "Her inner passion has not yet awakened, and her true and profound self has not yet taken shape. Only after being inspired by fanatical passion can he truly transform and spread his curled wings. Just like a athlete taking a deep breath before sprinting, her life is gathering strength during the dormant period of stagnation, just like a sleeping volcano. Once it breaks out, it will shake the earth. " On the eve of the premiere (Scottish Rose-Stuart Broken Queen), Nina felt the pressure peak, almost collapsed, and the illusion in her eyes became more and more bloody: when she visited Beth, she saw herself crazy and ruined her appearance (symbolizing her fear of aging); The portrait became a monk's voice (the mother's imprisonment is almost a demon); The black feather is at the scratch of her shoulder blade. generate (The black swan can't wait to get rid of the white swan's body. But this passage is too much like "Fudge". Her eyes turned red (blood image), her leg was broken and turned into a bird's leg, her mother's hands (hands and hands) were closed, and finally she fainted. After she woke up from a coma, her mother's right hand never appeared in the camera again, which made the viewer wonder: was last night's horror all a fantasy? When Nina grabbed her mother's injured hand to retrieve the latch, it was obvious that all the disputes last night actually happened. Why did Nina's mother, who expected her success, lock the door and forbid her to participate in the performance? -She's jealous. She never became the swan queen, but Nina did it. At this time, Nina is no longer her "sweet girl", but a more successful dancer, reflecting her frustration and loneliness. 1 1, the death of the black swan everything came to the last moment, but it became much simpler. Nina was so worried that she fell from her partner's hand-Lily and her male partner "conspired" to hurt her. Is this true or false? Judging from the following plot, it should be her imagination. When Nina returned to the dressing room, the black swan was waiting for her. Nina pushed her into the mirror, which broke. The white swan killed the "black swan" with a mirror. Mirror, it's a mirror. The mirror no longer exists, and the mirror image is also fragrant. This scene is also quite subtle: Portman drags the dead black swan into the bathroom, panting and shaking all over, but the music is getting stronger and stronger, which makes her gradually settle down (mumbling "my music" when confused, and the dancer has a subconscious dependence on music), and her eyes turn red again-the black swan is not dead, on the contrary, it completely captures Nina's soul and body. A dance after Nina turned into a black swan, the music has a fast rhythm, always accompanied by the sound of flapping wings and the sound of breathing and whispering. The latter voice is a metaphor for Huan Hao, and Huan Hao's joy is also described as "flying", such as the third child (hawthorn tree love). As you can see, the man dressed in black cast a surprised and obsessed look on her face, responding to Thomas' question (would you like to be with her? )。 The music paused, Nina returned to the background, and her expression still seemed to indulge in the aftertaste after a good relationship. In the last solo, she saw (in imagination) the feathers of a swan growing on her arm. Under the discerning light, the black wings should grow wildly with the music, rotate and dance, become more harmonious, more selfless, more arrogant, more arrogant and more beautiful. At the last moment, the huge swan shadow and the dancers with their heads held high complement each other, and the charm of the soul, soul, body, desire and inner desire are all fulfilled at this moment. After this dance, the black swan disappeared-the sign was that Nina's pupils were clear again-and the dancer turned back into a white swan with a flood of applause. In other words, the black swan was born only for this most colorful passage, and the solo dance just now was Death of a Swan. But the white swan is not what it used to be: Nina returned to the side curtain with applause, and Thomas, who was excited and happy, waited for her in the crowd. She bullied him, kissed him hard, stood on the ballet dancer's toes and kissed him, with a faint wind, like a fierce attack, like a swan swooping down from the clouds, like he kissed her from the beginning. However, she was still haunted by evil spirits. Like the waves of soft music, no. The black swan is indeed dead and will never be resurrected; The white swan absorbed the courage, affection and generosity of the black swan and was reborn. After the kiss, Thomas, who has always been calm, could not help but show a charming fake smile, and his eyes were slightly embarrassed but he slipped away proudly. This scene echoes what he said in the training room: "Next time, you seduce me." The apprentice started his career. He was so intoxicated that he was replaced by the master. He looked at Nina as if he were looking at a perfect work of art that he had successfully polished. However, the suspense is still unsolved: there is also a dead black swan in the dressing room. Nina covered a pool of blood leaking from the door with a pink towel, but she was surprised to see Lily push the door to congratulate her. The string of suspense is stretched on the tightest button-who died? The mirror did break all over the floor, but there was no blood under the door ... that string was always forced in the air in a gloomy and urgent way. Nina stayed for a moment, slowly lowered her head and took out the broken mirror fragments from the wound in the lower abdomen. The truth has become known to all. Portman's facial expressions in this period were rich and profound. He was sudden, worried, sad, desperate, regretful, at a loss, painful, persevering ... The performance with a strong sense of hierarchy supported this climax effortlessly. Finally, she sobbed and sat down in front of the mirror, wiped away her tears with a puff, her muscles were passively pulled, and her face suddenly turned into a smile. The black swan dies on the stage, and the white swan will die on the stage. In the last leap, Nina, covered in snow, finally returned to the pure white world (white sponge pad) with the wound of the black swan. "Perfect. I got perfection. " After experiencing the double hardships of spirit and flesh, the black swan and the white swan became one in the entanglement, creating a perfect situation and achieving peace. Of course, why can't the audience see blood? Why didn't everyone see the blood on the white skirt for the first time when they gathered around? There's no need to dig deeper. 12, Tsing Yi: "Green" means black. The story of the black swan is very similar to that of Bi Feiyu's Tsing Yi. The cold Qiu Yan (Nina), the spring of youth (Lily), and even the "late" part of the final performance are so similar. Shinohara Qiu Yan's dancing partner in the snow with blood.

Second, drama and life

There is no doubt that Black Swan is an Oscar-rated film. Careful sound effects and subtle sounds, like wordless explanations, enrich the film and add fantastic and rare charm. The picture is painted on Nina's exquisite bun many times, with thin shoulder blades and swan-like slender neck, which makes people feel that she is a professional ballet dancer. Nina is always confused, frowning and timid. Too much plus one point, too little minus one point. The fly in the ointment is that the "black swan" lacks a little magic when it is on its upper body. Fortunately, the scary and enchanting makeup of the black swan has helped, and the eyes are still very eye-catching. Shockingly, she is still so young that the golden statuette will be hers sooner or later-but maybe not this time. Vincent Cassel, the "Goddess Man", looks ordinary at first glance, but after a few more looks, she feels elegant, charming and penetrating, lamenting that Monica has a good eye for people at the bedside. Vincent's face is just a little sensual, with a flash of charm, which accords with his identity of hanging out with women; What is special about him is that his eyes are a little open (Qian Laoyun: slightly homesick), and he feels like the Pan God in the Maze of Pan God-the Pan God who is half sheep and half man, which is just a symbol of desire. Mila kunis, "Lily", has seen her forget about Sarah Marshall and date night. She is really a beauty who can make people forget the heroine! The evil beauty of the black swan is a suitable spokesperson-but does it have to be smoked to set off the heroine? In The Devil Wearing Prada, Emily Blunt once smoked her eyes, and then her star opened. I hope Miss Milla can prove this "eye-smoking law" again. Winona doesn't have many roles, but she is quite outstanding. In fact, it is not impossible for her to play the role of "white swan" without a theft, but the black swan in her heart ruined her. White soap, she can no longer fly, and now she can only watch young Portman go straight up with the wind. I don't know what's going on inside and outside the play. Veronica, a sharp-tongued, mean and frivolous dancer, is also impressive in her fleshy face and thick lips. In a small group of women, there are bound to be such figures. What is even more emotional is that Natalie Portman met Benjamin Pillami, a choreographer and dancer, fell in love and got engaged, and now she has announced that she is pregnant. Do Portman and Benjamin really fall in love when they are intimately intertwined, like Nina and Thomas? In the play, Nina awakens her sexual consciousness because of a swan lake, while outside the play, Portman gets love, marriage and fetus because of the black swan. Drama is like life, and life is like drama, which is also called.
