Natalie Portman: The Metamorphosis of the Black Swan

The young and famous Natalie Portman was the darling of directors. She has participated in the performance of movies such as "The Thread of Fire" and "Love SpecialTy".

At the age of 18, he participated in "Star Wars Prequel 1". But for Natalie Portman, the biggest thing about the year she was 18 was being admitted as an undergraduate in The Psychology Department at Harvard University.

There is a line in the previously popular movie "The Social Network": "Harvard has produced 19 Nobel Prize winners, 15 Pulitzer Prize winners, 2 future Olympians, and 1 movie star." The star of the movie is Natalie Portman.

When she first entered Harvard, Natalie Portman didn't even have a driver's license, and although the star's identity occasionally attracted attention among her classmates, it was Harvard, and all the attention did not cross the line of politeness. Natalie Portman: "All of my classmates have all kinds of achievements, the Olympic movement, music, poetry, all of them are talented. The slight difference I'm with is that my work gets more media attention. ”

During her time at Harvard, Natalie Portman rarely took on films, and in her opinion, schooling was far more important than making movies, "I don't care if going to college will ruin my career, I want to be a wise person than to be a movie star." 」 ”

There's always a fear that the flashy entertainment industry will ruin one innocent child star after another, and similar reports never stop worrying about Natalie Portman. In fact, Natalie Portman is still the original girl, although "Star Wars" brought her a high income, but she put money and things in the custody of her parents, she hardly buys luxury goods, always carries photos of family, friends and classmates in her wallet, she has always put family and friendship first, money and fame do not seem to have too strong an appeal to her. After 5 years at Harvard, Natalie Portman successfully received her diploma.

Sometimes, dormancy is for a higher take-off.

Finally, in 2005's "V-Kills", natalie Portman appeared in front of the audience.

Natalie Portman plays the girl rescued by V, not only learning a British accent, but also staged a shocking shaving scene. She wept and looked straight into the camera, her blonde hair pushed off mercilessly, an inexplicable fear of violence coming out of her eyes, and the shot was even seen as a metamorphosis of her growth from child star to star: those innocence and childishness were finally destroyed, and a real acting actress was born.

However, she is not satisfied with just playing the bad girl, she is well aware of the tension between her appearance and her heart, and she prefers to use this tension as a work that can truly represent herself.

Thus, "Black Swan" came into being. In this film, Natalie Portman shatters the impression of a noble white swan left by the past as Nina, a ballerina who has driven herself to a nervous breakdown because of her crazy involvement in the performance of "Swan Lake".

Natalie Portman gave everything for the film, "In addition to training, I also had to strictly regulate my diet according to the requirements, the director didn't even allow me to go out, didn't let me see friends during the whole shooting, and finally really fell into Nina's lifestyle, isolated from the world, miserable and tragic." 」 ”

Effort pays off. With her outstanding performance in Black Swan, Natalie Portman won two Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress and an Oscar for Best Actress. In particular, there is another windfall, which is her husband Benjamin.

Benjamin played the prince who danced with Nina in Black Swan, and he was also the choreographer of the film.

So, just like this, the "prince" and the "princess" fell in love.

Today, Natalie Portman has long been a wife, a mother, and a happy golden age of life, but her artistic requirements have never changed, just like her line at the end of "Black Swan":

Perfect..., that's the perfection I want!
