The movie begins with Nina Sayers(Natilie Portman) having a dream of being the Swan Queen. Its a beautiful dream that makes her optimistic about her position at the New York City ballet. Nina is a doll like young woman living with her mother played by Barbara Hershey. She and her mother a very close but theyre relationship borders on obsession with each other and Nina's career. And low and behold the company director Thomas Leroy ( Vincent Cassel) announces the they will be performing Swan Lake. Great, Nina would be a perfect Swan Queen. Crap, she's to goody goody for the evil twin, the Black Swan........or is she.
Nina has the skills and disipline to the play the swan Queen but new dancer on the block Lily (Mila Kunis) has all the sexiness and rawness of the Black Swan. Lily is everything Nina is not, open and at easy. Thomas has no problem telling Nina exactly that and does every thing to mess with her mind even after giving her the part. Thomas claims to want to have not bowndery with Nina but that seems to be trick in his mind fucking kit. Lily is equally skilled at mindfucking , befriending Nina but setting her up to be late for practice...or was that just Nina mind fucking herself there.
While all this is going on, her mother has her own mind fuck game going own at home. Moms want to know where Nina is, who shes talking to, and won't even let the girl get undress by herself. Seriously, Nina is due for a good rebellion but throw all her stuff animals will do until mommy trys to lock Nina in her bedroom keeping her from performing in the show and The Black Swan comes flying out to moms in her place once and for all.
Honestly this movie was way more artsy than I usually go for but I totally get it. Nina wanted to be the best but then she had to let that go to do what was needed to become the Black Swan. However, with losing herself to this part she loses her mind and then some but she did get what she wanted in the end, perfection.
