Egocentric but amazing ballet teacher Thomas Leroy cursed young and fragile ballerina Nina Sayers into secret depths of her own soul, to find her dark, sensuous and self destructive "I", which is needed for dancing Odille, the Black Swan in Tschaikovsky Swan Lake.

Numerous personifications, symbols and metaphors in this movie are just telling the story about how fragile can be human's psyche in the world like this one is. This is destructive journey into the soul of young ballerina, who (I believe because she never known something more valuable than her work, her desire for perfection, and that's all she has now) decides to give up everything for perfection.

Natalie Portman life's role. Darren Aronofsky's best film. Best movie of 2010. And my second favorite. Tschaikovsky Swan lake in reality. The White Swan (Nina) dies, once she let her alter ego Black Swan shine.
