Today’s movie is a psychological drama with scenes that
happen on February 12. Watch it tonight and enjoy.
BLACK SWAN
Nina Sayers is a
member of a ballet company that is to perform Swan Lake. The director Tom Leroy
forces his longtime star, Beth into retirement and auditions others for the
dual role of the white swan and the black swan. He thinks Nina is perfect as
the white swan, but doesn’t have the emotional intensity to dance as the black
sawn. He tells Nina he is casting Veronica in the part. She asks him to
reconsider and he kisses her, but Nina bites him, so he casts her in the
role. Beth is injured in an accident
that Tom thinks might have been a suicide attempt. Nina goes out for a party
night with Lilly, who she perceives as a rival and hallucinates a lesbian
encounter with her. On February 12, 2010 [1:25:17 to 1:42:41] the ballet
premieres. After the first act, when Nina returns to her dressing room, she has
a fight with Lilly, stabs and apparently kills her after Lilly says she is
going to dance the black swan. Nina dances the black swan and learns her fight
with Lilly was a hallucination. She dances the white swan and enacts throwing
herself off a cliff (actually onto a mattress) where it is discovered she has
stabbed herself.
A very strange film. For much of the movie you wonder if
what you see is real or if Nina is just imagining it.
