Some movies are hard to watch and Black Swan proves that Darren Aronofsky is one of the best directors making those kind of movies. The film shows the psychological impact suffered by ballet dancer Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) as she prepares for the role of Swan Queen, a combination of both the White Swan and its polar opposite the Black Swan , during a production of Swan Lake. It's at this production she meets Lily, a fellow company dancer played by Mila Kunis, whose impulsive and free-flowing approach to dancing contrasts with Nina's frigid and methodical style. Nina's dancing style prevents her from performing the Black Swan character to the degree she always strives for: perfection. The disparity between her personality and the one the role she's playing requires is the gravity that fuels her descent into madness.
The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird which breeds mainly in the southeast and southwest regions of Australia. The species was hunted to extinction in New Zealand, but later reintroduced. Within Australia they are nomadic, with erratic migration patterns dependent upon climatic conditions. Black Swans are large birds with mostly black plumage and red bills. They are monogamous breeders that share breeding responsibilities between the sexes.
The Black Swan was described scientifically by English naturalist John Latham in 1790. It was formerly placed into a monotypic genus, Chenopis. Black Swans can be found singly, or in loose companies numbering into the hundreds or even thousands.[2] Black Swans are popular birds in zoological gardens and bird collections, and escapees are sometimes seen outside their natural range.
When swimming, Black Swans hold their necks arched or erect, and often carry their feathers or wings raised in an aggressive display. In flight, a wedge of Black Swans will form as a line or a V, with the individual birds flying strongly with undulating long necks, making whistling sounds with their wings and baying, bugling or trumpeting calls.[2]
