Black Swan *spoilers*

So yeah just finished it this morning - yes I watch movies in pieces between nursing Genna in the wee hours of the morning. Can someone explain it to me? I mean yeah it was weird but I dunno I didn't think it was THAT great. Was she (Nina/Natalie Portman) just crazy, is that it? Was the story supposed to be following the story of Swan Lake? I don't get it. I mean, other than her being like just wack, of course. Is my sleep deprevation affecting my ability to understand amazing Oscar worthy complex movies? :-P

  • I kind of took it as you are your own worst enemy which is why she kept seeing herself whenever she would look at the other character.  It definitely left me questioning the real meaning of the movie... and still has me questioning it lol

  • I can see that. That makes sense. She was still totally out of her mind. Ha.
  • I was pretty confused too. Wikipedia has a decent summary and that helped me understand it.

  • Short version: she's a paranoid schitzophrenic.

    I think the intention was to mimic Swan Lake in a modern way. In the ballet, the black swan is the swan queen's evil twin, who steals the prince away. Some have always interpreted it as the swan queen having 2 sides, or a split personality.. and the darker side got stronger. Same thing happened in the movie version.

    Basically, 1/2 the movie didn't happen.
