Let's begin with the opening!
Spotlight on a girl, lonely but happy and full of life! Alone in the forest-emty stage with fog! When you see her, you know who is she! She's Odette the most beautiful girl in ballet world if you ask me. And we see that same pureness in Nina ( the central character), she is that innocent girl, which wants to be there in the spotlight; but there is that little thing that doesn't get her there; she can't let her go; but by that, I mean, I still feel that she is totally in the character, but she doesn't let that one little piece get in. (back to swan lake) But then there comes an owl! Rothbart, the great wizard as we know him! Who wants her!!! So he turns her into the most beautiful and pure creature: the swan! ( I mean who would not like to be a swan people!) She is sad...In the Black swan story, there is her teacher Tomas. She sees him as Rothbart (bad and evil), but he really wants her to be perfect (Rotbart gets that by turnig Odette into a swan), but she just can't let that happen. (Tomas does thst on the wierd way, by sex :/ )
Lily!! She's just great and sweet and she can dance! It's just Nina who's crazy!!
But Nina sees her as Evil, dark side that wants to bring her down.
And here we have it! The Black swan!
Odette can't fight her (Odille/the Black swan) and Nina can't be her (Black swan), we have two different sides in two different stories. But let's don't forget that Nina is crazy and Odette is not. So Nina has "power" in her to bring the evil out...and Odette...she's a little virgin-the beautiful one :)
And here we have it! Here two stories separate and each one go in the different direction. So Nina has it! Strength to bring an evil twin out of her, but Odette she is too nice; So two stories with same beginning, different meaning and...same end!
So Nina has it, she is a black swan too!!! She is evil, mad and crazy, but this is too much for her, just too much!! She gave everything out of her to be perfect, she tasted the dream for a moment, but...like we wake up from dreams, she had to wake up from hers, but the part of them was true...blood was true,but not in a bathroom, but on her skin!
Back to Odette; she lost the prince, the only thing she could love in the world (as the half swan, half maid) She tasted the dream too for a moment, but the future was not on her side. No! The only thing that could save her and everybody was...her own death!! Guys, she never looked suicidal! But love makes you do stange things if you ask me.
So she runs on the edge of glory and look at Rothbart, then at the prince and then at all swans there.
There is no other way, she felt it! Love! She felt love!! When she realise that, she jumps from the edge and nobody sees her again!
Nina is feeling that moment as Odette/the white swan, but not just in her head...she is really dying!! Now she knows that it was too much for her, too much for her to take. She is standing on the edge she sees all theatre in tears even her mum is crying...now she felt it, perfection, she was perfect!!
Now, we don't know what happened after, is she ok? Did she die? Did she survive?
I know that is not the "ending" end, but in my view is the perfect end!!!
Now another point of that movie, is ballet!! The most beautiful art on this planet!! But I'm not saying that because we see that on stage, I'm saying that, because of all hard work back there in the ballet studio!
And in the movie we can see and we can also, accually feel that beauty on stage, because we know what happened behind all that makeup, costumes and set and perfectly danced art!
And I hope it's not too much, but I wanted to present you the way I see, feel that amazing movie!!!
Hope you guys love this movie as much as me!!
P.K.
