Black Swan

It all started with the desire of a ballerina to get the main role in their recital “Swan Lake”, in which the chosen ballerina would portray not only the white swan but the black swan as well. However, this person who aspire to get the part, lack the characteristics that the black swan possesses, that may be the cause of all the strange things that is happening to her, Nina Sayers, the protagonist of the movie. Nina who is on her late 20’s yet lives with her mother, who I assume where Nina gets her passion for dancing. Moreover, it’s not only that she lived with her but also seems to be dependent on her even in the littlest thing, like; preparing her food, cutting her nails and decides for her overall as if she’s still a child. Furthermore, she’s a perfectionist that shows off every time she dances. She’s very careful when dancing that illustrates uptight movements as if she practiced it a thousand times which she does anyway. For this reason, the director sees that she doesn’t suit the part that’s why she was not chosen at first. Nevertheless, even though Nina depicts fragile personality that she always follow things been said to her, surprisingly, she ask him - why she didn’t get the part? And after saying his reasons, he ended up kissing her abruptly that force Nina to show her different side by biting his lips. In spite of the shock, she indeed get the part that results in even more complicated confusion in Nina’s part that as I perceive, that may trigger her to develop a psychiatric disorder. Thereafter, she appears to be a different person that even her persona changed. She develop hallucinations that she sees things that doesn’t really happens in reality like; imagining that she and the other ballerina, Lily, have intimate moments together, seeing the former star of the company stabbing her face with a nail file which really sickens me, She then thinks that she is gradually transforming into a black swan that her toes are sticking in and feathers are
