"The Shining" and "Black Swan"

"Black Swan", this thriller literary film, is very similar to "The Shining". It expresses at least the following meanings:

1. The pursuit of perfection is an extreme sport. Perfection, as far as human nature is concerned, is not complete goodness, but good and evil, which can be freely placed and arranged for good and evil. As expressed in the film, there are both the gentleness, kindness and enthusiasm of the white swan, the tenderness of the water, and the uninhibited and endless desire of the black swan. This is the perfect person.
2. Expecting children to become dragons is too much, and it will only harm children.
3. Having love and desire is a complete life.

"The Shining" is known as the most horror movie, but it's actually just a horror movie. It is said that some women did not dare to look in the mirror after watching "Black Swan", which is enough to show that a truly frightening and deeply rooted horror movie is the source of Because of the truth and the horror of psychological effects, Nina in "Black Swan" is very similar to the writer in "The Shining". In pursuit of perfection and self-realization, she put pressure on herself beyond her own capacity, so Appearing in hallucinations and becoming persecuted paranoia, the difference is that the writer did not get out of the shadow of pressure in the end. After killing his wife, he tried to kill his son and froze to death in the wilderness. And Nina was finally released at the last moment, breaking through herself and achieving a perfect performance.

Such people are regrettable and even more admirable. Some people have never experienced such pressure in their lives, and they have never devoted all their enthusiasm to a certain cause (even more attention to it than the love of life).
This movie is graceful and subtle, and many details are worth a lot of money. There is also a lot of blank space for the audience to supplement and reminisce, such as the tension between the mother and Nina, which is ended with the act of throwing away the cake. And why did the mother put so much love and pressure on her daughter, and how did she deprive Nina of all her freedom, and why Nina formed such a character, it is left blank for the audience to guess and add. Many intentions are also left blank, and the benevolent can see benevolence.

Even if you don't know ballet, you can see that Natalie Portman's dedication and enthusiasm for this film, those expressing the pain and joy, remind people of her performance in "V for Vendetta" many years ago. show.

    It’s good to see people choking. Portman is the princess who has always been dragged down by her overly peculiar appearance. This is about to fly. Seeing that the former princess Winona Ryder, who is so dry and still has peculiar features, came out again to run the show.
