In the centenary history of the Oscars, there is a type of film that pursues perfection between the exploration of ideal and reality, the original self and the superego, bringing experience and deep reflection to the audience, thus winning important awards. Today, to bring you this classic split theme movie "Black Swan", the atmosphere of horror and charm gives people a strong visual contrast and sensory stimulation, making it difficult to extricate yourself! The heroine Natalie Portman won the Oscar for this film.
The heroine of "Black Swan", Natalie Portman, is known to everyone, she played the stubborn and willful, independent Matilda in "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" at the age of 13, Natalie has a strong aura, outstanding understanding and unique temperament. As a result, it has become a generation of child stars that have swept the world!
In the film, Matilda is a precocious girl due to premature family misfortune, and is interpreted by Natalie Portman as surprisingly mature, without the slightest jerkiness and twisting in the performance. Since the fame of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", Natalie has begun a career of filming while reading.
In 1996, Natalie's performance in the movie "Love Special" received rave reviews. In the play, she plays a girl named Marty, a precocious girl with a scheming heart and a desire to take her sweetheart away from his fiancée. Critics have spoken highly of her: she is the highlight of the entire show.
In 1997, Natalie made a surprising decision: she actually pushed out the two huge films "Lolita" and "Romeo and Juliet" and willingly appeared on stage to appear in "Anne Frank's Diary". This move has puzzled everyone, but from the nearly one-hour-long curtain call after each end of each episode, we can understand how well she played.
At the end of the century, Natalie Portman played her most widely discussed role — the noble and beautiful Queen Amidala in the world-famous George Lucas's Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. Despite all the bad reputation, it is an indisputable fact that this film has achieved a huge box office worldwide. And Natalie's beautiful image is also as well known to the world as Hepburn was then.
Natalie Portman has always been reluctant to avoid screen nude and is one of the very few actresses in Hollywood who resists nude. In 2004, she asked director Mike Nichols to cut out nude footage from the Oscar-nominated film Stealing Hearts. She used nude substitutions in 2006's Spirit of Goya.
But in the 13-minute prologue to the 2007 film "Crossing Darjeeling," "Knight's Hotel," she featured bold nudes and exposed buttocks, though she has since said she was particularly embarrassed and vowed not to have any more nudity on the screen. It is said that the number of releases in the United States increased to 600-700, attracting a large audience.
Natalie Portman was born in 1981 to an Ashkenazi Jewish family in Israel, the only daughter of the family. At the age of 3, he immigrated to New York with his parents.
Natalie speaks 6 languages: English, French, Japanese, German, Hebrew and Arabic. From elementary school to high school, she took an A in everything she did. She is a veritable talented woman.
During the filming of the movie "Black Swan", Natalie Portman met the film's dancer Benjamin Mippard, and the two entered the palace of marriage in 2012, and after so many years, the relationship between the two is still stable, known as a model couple!
The male protagonist of "Black Swan" is also heavyweight, and is a very well-known Actor and Director Vincent Cassel in France! With a rugged appearance and explosive acting skills, Cassel deliberately seeks diversity in the choice of roles, and is comfortable with any type of role.
Of course, Vincent Cassel is most fascinated by the media is his sexy ex-wife, Monica Bellucci, the heroine of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily"! The two have starred in a number of classics together, such as "Very Apartment" and "Irrevocable", one of the top ten forbidden films in film history.
Back to the film itself, "Black Swan" presents the growth history of a dancer Nina, through the pain from self-imprisonment to self-liberation, all kinds of desires and evil thoughts spew out, so that we can glimpse the fragility and complexity of human nature.
In the process of playing the role of Nina, natalie Portman's powerful emotional explosiveness and accurate sense of perspective on the role are also infiltrated, not only to perfectly interpret the innocence and elegance of the white swan, but also to perform the cunning and obscenity of the black swan.
Lily, a ballet dancer who competes with Nina, is the source and the end of everything. She is the other side of Nina facing the mirror, the other side that Nina wants to be but can't be. In the bar she hissed in a low tone, persuading Nina to take drugs, like a poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden that lured Eve to steal the forbidden fruit.
Lily also becomes the object of Nina's sexual fantasies. On the night nina fantasized, Nina transformed Lily into a "black swan" in a trance. The dark self surfaced, and that chaotic night was the alternation of "black" and "white."
In order to make Natalie Portman less embarrassed during the filming of the bed scene between the two women, the director suggested that she have a little drink before filming. So Portman drank an entire bottle of strong tequila. For the next day and a half, Portman had to fall drunk on his bed. Director Darren Noveli felt very guilty about this.
"Swan Lake" was originally a tragic story of a delicate virgin princess who fell and reborn, and finally died to end despair. The black and white sides of the swan have become the highlight of the whole dance drama.
Natalie strives to discover her dark side in order to play Black Swan, while also releasing the wild nature that has been suppressed by the control-mad mother, which eventually leads to the collapse of the spiritual world. Natalie Portman won the 83rd Academy Awards with her brilliant performance in this movie!
The director of the film, Darren Aronofsky, can be called a Hollywood ghost director. His works are full of elements of neuroticism, darkness, weirdness and horror, and some large-scale dramas are also played with real and eye-opening. For example, the most discussed epic forbidden film "Requiem of Dreams"!
This movie is a collection of violence, lust, drugs, depression, madness, loneliness, and fear, and after watching it, people feel that the director is crazy, the screenwriter is crazy, the editing is crazy, the sound effects are crazy, and even the audience is crazy! In particular, the bridge section of "a group of well-dressed people watching a couple of men and women's activities" was labeled as offensive because it was too realistic.
In 2008, Darren's fourth film, The King of Wrestling, won the Venice Golden Lion. Darren's ex-wife is the famous actress Rachel Weiz, who starred in her work "Cherished Fountain", but the talented couple also officially broke up 10 years ago.
By the time of filming Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky was already very skilled, and he was nominated for the Best Director Award at the 83rd Academy Awards and the Best Director Award at the 64th British Academy Film Awards!
Darren once bluntly said that the inspiration for "Black Swan" was deeply influenced by "Strange Tenant" and "Cold-Blooded Horror", and as a result, Darren was like Roman Polanski, telling this psychological thriller story about split personality with a lens full of psychological cues and clues. This is probably the most memorable ballet movie!
