Black Swan SPOILER

[Anonymous]

Can someone spoil Black Swan for me...why is it so intense. I'm not going to go see it (two babies at home) and doubt I'll rent it over the tv when it comes out (as I hardly have time for that). So if someone could give me the low down on it it'd be great. I hear it's fantastic and she pulls feathers out of her body or something....strange. Don't get mad if you read the responses I said SPOILER in the topic. Thanks!!!

*********MILD SPOILERS********************




It's a mind screw about a young insecure dancer who desperately wants to perfectly dance the lead roles of Swan Lake. It's pretty straightforward, for the most part, the first half of the movie. Then Nina starts to show signs of cracking under the pressure and one wonders if what she's experiencing is real. Then the ballet is staged and it becomes clear that she's lost her fucking mind. The ending is completely ambiguous.

The ending is ambiguous? Really? I thought it was pretty clear that was the one thing that was real (based on everyone else's reaction to her).

Maybe, maybe not. She completely hallucinated the confrontation with Lily. Perhaps she imagined that too. That's a pretty hard thing to dance - and perfectly I might add - while suffering from something like that. She could have had a psychotic break, she could have taken some kind of drug and passed out from it, or events could have played out the way we saw. But the movie makes it very clear that Nina is an Unreliable Narrator. What we see is simply her version of reality, not necessarily what actually happens.
