Nina realized "perfection" from the role of the black swan. But she can no longer play the white swan. Because perfection is sometimes evil.
Perfection is just a technical activity, just the natural form of things. It doesn't guarantee the quality of the soul, it doesn't tell us how things should be. Conversely, perfection is often a powerful defense of evil. If you use perfection to interpret evil, then evil also appears to be allowed, because at least it looks beautiful, regardless of whether it is a white cat or a black cat, a white swan or a black swan.
Perfection simply means doing things well, regardless of whether it is good or not. Perfection is an instrumental rationality that does not consider value judgments. Therefore, Black Swan, and her actor, can recklessly do evil under perfect guidance. And the white swan needs not only perfection, but also kindness. As long as you strive for perfection, you can play a black swan well. But to play a white swan well, you should first have the qualities of a white swan.
Nina surrendered her goodness for perfection, so the white swan also became her swan song.
2. Understand that evil is the beginning of evil.
Nina wants to play a good black swan. The bastard director told him that the important thing is to understand and experience.
Nina followed suit. She understands evil. But while understanding, he was also assimilated by evil, so that he himself became evil. Understanding evil is the beginning of evil. If evil is understood, then it means that evil also has its rationality (such as the phrase "everything that exists must be reasonable" by the philosopher who is also surnamed Hei), and evil is also allowed - allowed by the so-called "historical reason", Or allowed by the passion of aesthetics (such as Yao Jiaxin murder). This also means that I have reasons for evil, and I can be a part of evil. In the face of understanding, nothing is impossible.
But more important than understanding is evaluation. It doesn't mean being understandable means being allowed. Just as shit can be taken to a chemistry lab to be "understood", it can never be taken to a concert hall or an exhibition hall for us to appreciate and taste. Don't forget your inner judgment while understanding, otherwise you will also become a big dung.
3. White Swan's wound
Nina had a wound on her back, which became her sore spot.
Perhaps, even as holy and beautiful as a white swan, there may be a scar somewhere that cannot be seen. All life in the world is like Cain who was dispensed in the Bible, with the seal of God branded on his body—a warning of his own finitude. Only God has no scars. Neither the white swan nor her actors are gods. On the contrary, they are always surrounded by Satan, and they are always experiencing the temptation of desire and the threat of evil. White swans are just white swans, not angels with wings in heaven. When the power of the world reaches a certain intensity, the wound begins to deteriorate - as in the movie, from a small scar on the back to a large gap on the stomach - which is stabbed with a knife.
In other words, white swans are fallen angels. And fallen, how difficult it is to return to heaven. Maybe it can be done, just don't forget that you used to be an angel.
