The story of the birth of perfect black from perfect white
The film begins with a ballet performance where elegance meets dance. The elegant and dazzling show of the ballerina in a wedding dress reminds one of a bird soaring freely in the sky and speaking to the ground in a noble manner. As the ballerina smiles at the satisfaction of completing her performance, a man in black behind her draws the ballerina to him under the influence of her malevolent power. The ballerina, on the other hand, surrenders to her fear of not being able to escape from the man in black (Submission scheme- compatible surrendering mode). When she wants to get rid of, the man in black suddenly turns into a monster and does not let the ballerina go. At the end of the war, the ballerina flaps her wings in fear and sadness like a bird whose feathers have lost its splendor (Wounded Child Mode).
Although Nina wakes up with a frightening dream in her room filled with plush toys that contain every shade of pink is like a happy child. Because this dream is the spectacle of the Queen Swan that she dreams of. While her body took on a young girl, her soul always remained a child. Her soul also needs to grow, but her mother did not support Nina in this regard and continued to treat her as if she were a child and to meet her needs. (Although the addiction scheme may seem like a schema submission, in the later scenes of the movie, we see that Nina allows her to meet her needs because she cannot oppose her mother. This shows that the main schema is the submissiveness schema). After this dream she had, the magnificent Beth, who was the 'Queen Swan' at the ballet school, was taken from the stage due to her age. Thomas announces that he wants to design a new show for the new swan queen: “... The ballerina is trapped in the body of a pure and beautiful swan. She wants to be free, she. But only true love can break the spell. His wish is almost granted. For a prince. But before the prince can declare his love, the girl's lustful twin, the black swan, deceives and seduces him. The devastated white swan jumps off a hill and kills itself. And as he dies, he finds freedom... We will open the new season with swan lake, but not like this. we will rob him. It will be both profound and real. He needs a new swan queen to re-enact. A new face presented to the world. But what Can the track carry both swans? Both white and black.” The Swan Lake Ballet, played so far, gains a new dimension by incorporating black in white. This new situation makes it almost impossible for Nina, who lives in the dusty world, to achieve her dreams. Because she is a ballerina who carries a white swan in her soul and gets lost in perfect whiteness. Upon this news from Thomas, Nina finds herself in front of Beth's room. When Nina leaves Beth's room, she enters his room and sits in her dream chair. Whether or not to own this seat is now in your own hands. She, like everyone who dedicates her existence to being the best (High Standards Chart), feels that she must not give up to pursue her dreams. She leaves the room with Beth's red lipstick. It is like the first awakening of lust in her soul.
Nina perfectly portrays the white swan symbolizing innocence, chastity, purity and beauty in dance rehearsals (high standards scheme); he is not successful at all in the black swan, which symbolizes darkness, lust, courage and evil. Thomas to Nina: “If I had to choose only the white swan, it would be you. But it is not like that.” With Thomas praising the black inside Lily, Lily becomes the biggest obstacle to Nina's dreams. On her way home, Nina sees an impressive woman with black hair at the stop. This impressive woman is actually black herself. This startling event is the first hallucination he sees (seeing himself with another self in the hallucination is a sign of dissociation - detached protective mode). On the one hand, the pressure of his mother, who wants to create the perfect white swan, and on the other hand, the tough attitude of Thomas, who wants to see black as well as white in dance, lay the groundwork for two independent characters in his soul. Although she hugged her mother and cried when she came home after these experiences, she searches for her black in endless rehearsals (Failure scheme, overcompensation). Just as the white swan needs to impress the prince so that his soul can be freed, he needs to impress Thomas so that he can achieve his dreams. With his red lipstick and healthy hair, Thomas was impressed, feeling the heartbeat of black inside him. Even to reveal a little more Although n kissed Nina, Nina responded by biting him (overcompensation of the submissive scheme). With this move, Nina managed to impress Thomas and passed the eliminations. The new swan queen will now be herself. This changed the color of Nina's dance singlet to gray and powdery pink. When the new queen comes home with the excitement of being a swan, she sees the portraits her mother has made and then goes to take a shower. Nina's privacy, unfortunately, does not exist in the house. Just like the portraits inside the house, his mother is constantly following him. He expresses his despair of not being able to stand up to his mother by scratching his shoulder and bleeding (itching as a result of submission to a schema, psychosomatic mode). Thomas whips Nina even more when she sees her lust and aggression begin to unfold after her bite. However, despite her best efforts, Nina can't reveal the black that Thomas wants. As the show day approaches, Thomas, who invites to introduce the new queen ballerina to the community, takes Nina with him and gives a speech. Immediately after the talk, Nina goes to the bathroom. With the tension of being introduced to the community and the desperation of not being able to reveal the black inside (failure scheme, scheme submission), she hallucinates that her finger is bleeding and peeling off her skin while washing her hand. Right after the invitation, Thomas invites Nina to his house and wants to talk about the role. In this speech, Thomas questions Nina's romantic and sexual life and assigns Nina to touch herself. In the morning of the night, while Nina is experiencing the pleasure of touching her, she sees the hallucination of her mother sleeping on the sofa and hides in her quilt, afraid. (It is obvious that Nina is afraid of her mother. Punitive scheme). When he learns that Beth had an accident that day, Thomas tells her that Beth's accident was deliberate, that a dark impulse drives her, so it is exciting to watch her on stage. Nina also needs to reach the dark impulses in order to excite the audience. At the end of the day, while her mother is crying and painting, Nina comes with a stick and hides it in her room (the stick is the object of her anger against her mother). As Nina begins to immerse herself in her dancing, color i turns gray. Thomas rehearses the black swan with Nina. “Feel my touch, reciprocate. Come on !" he says and kisses. Then he said, "I was the one who seduced you, but it's the opposite of what should have happened." says. As the big day approaches, Nina is in despair. The queen cannot cope with being a swan, she cannot reach the black swan that Thomas wants (Failure scheme - scheme delivery). When he wants to satisfy himself in the bathroom in the evening to bring out the black inside, he is again faced with a hallucination. In this hallucination, he sees his dark side smiling at him with a frightening self. (When Nina is in her impulsive child mode, she also experiences split personality mixed with hallucinations. Disconnected protective mode- dissociation). When he comes to himself, his shoulder is bleeding again and his mother is checking him again. Nina's coming home late for dance rehearsals and her changes worry her mother. Because when her mother was a young ballerina, she gave up on her dreams because she got pregnant with Nina, and blamed Nina for this mistake (submissive schema origin). It's not the first time that Nina has taken responsibility for her mother's mistake, and she even gave the message that it's too late to become a swan queen at that age (submissive scheme overcompensation). Right after this speech, the doorbell rang and Lily came. Even though her mother doesn't want her to see him, Nina goes out for a drink with Lily (submissive scheme, overcompensation). Lily started to pour her own black into Nina, and the suppressed black side in Nina was revealed. At the end of the night, he came home with Lily, rebelled against his mother, who demanded an account, took Lily to his room, closed the door with a stick and wanted to protect his privacy. He said to his mother: “Don't tell me to come in, it's called private life, I'm not a child anymore. Leave me alone” (submissive schema overcompensation - freedom fighter mod) and then they started a lustful relationship with Lily. When she takes the flavor of sex and has an orgasm, Lily turns into Nina when she says "my beautiful girl" to Nina. Nina once again had a hallucination and satisfied herself sexually with two separate personalities (Nina's dark side, which had been suppressed for years, showed its existence as a separate self through hallucinations- dissociation The phrase “my sweet girl” is a rather confusing phrase. Considering that in some scenes, her mother is very involved in Nina's private life, she has no privacy while taking a bath, she saw her mother sleeping with hallucinations during masturbation, and her sexual preference was again with a woman, perhaps this word mixed with hallucinations is a harbinger of incest. Severe traumatic experiences, on the other hand, can cause personality split-dissociation in coping with problems.). When Nina's dance color changed to black and gray after the night, she threw away all the plush toys in the house. After the last rehearsal of the show, she saw a hallucination of a self that was not under her control while she was rehearsing her dress. After this scary scene, he learned that Lily was backed up, and he was enraged, thinking that Lily would be replaced at any moment (the skepticism scheme). In this phase, hallucinations have gained momentum, and thoughts and facts are intertwined. He immediately went to his room and brought everything he had stolen from Beth, telling him that he was very upset, that he understood her, that he wanted to be as perfect as she was, and that he is now experiencing the same things (high standards and skepticism scheme). The unending hallucinations haunted her at home, too, and all the terrible scenes she experienced made her vomit again (somatic mode). She went to her room with hallucinations she couldn't get out of and closed the door with a stick so that her mother could not enter, and while looking in the mirror with red eyes, she saw that the black swan feathers were coming out of her shoulders, she won the war inside. When her mother enters the room, Nina violently kicked her out (angry boy mode) and fainted after hallucinating that her legs were broken (psychosomatic mode). When he opened his eyes, he asked his mother what time it was because today is the big day. When her mother said that the role hurt Nina and that she did not want to send it, Nina said: "I am the queen swan, you were the one who could not rise in the community" and left (granary mode). While Nina, who caught up with the show, was floating on the stage like the flapping of a noble bird in the role of a white swan with all her grace, the change in her started and fell in the dance.
