My main interests are CINEMA and Hollywood. (If you don't find me i'm probably logging a movie on letterboxd).
I have many favourite movies and celeb crushes but my hyperfixation rn is AUSTIN BUTLER, so if you see a lot of Feyd Rautha content just know that i'm crazy. I'm married to that fictional character 😭🖤🎀
I'm probably on wattpad 20 times a day 😅
I love Christian Bale, Evan Peters and Bill Skarsgård too. I've been Tomdaya stan since 2016! I love American Horror Story.

My music taste changes! I love LANA DEL REY and Guns and Roses (i saw Lana last year in Milan and I'm going to see Guns this summer w my dad! Can't wait).
I also like fashion and makeup or everything that could be aesthetic, girly and pink.
I'm gonna add Pinterest pins to get y'all know my aesthetic which is a mess cause it changes a lot! I'm currently in my coquette era but deep down i'll always love dark 2018's aesthetic!

BLACK SWAN - THE UNREWARDING CHASE AFTER PERFECTION
Tw: bulimia, self-harm, sexual assault, body horror
''Black swan'', directed by Darren Aronofsky, is a 2010 film. It deals with our main character, Nina, a ballerina which gets picked for the role of both The white swan and The black swan in a production of "Swan lake", but as she is urged by her artistic director to 'lose herself' her sanity crumbles before her. In this post I'd like to address the themes, motifs, character development, and what black swan made me feel, because I find art is about emotions.
★ SWAN LAKE ANALOGY
The story of "Swan lake" is a direct analogy most readers can pick up on during their watch of Black swan and I'd like to highlight some thoughts of mine on the parallels between the two.
" virginal girl, pure and sweet, trapped
in the body of a swan. She desires
freedom, but only true love can
break the spell. Her wish was
granted in the form of a prince.
But before he can declare his love,
her lustful twin, the Black Swan,
tricks and seduces him.
Devastated, the White Swan leaps
off a cliff, killing herself. But,
in death, finds freedom. " - Leroy
This recounting of "Swan lake" is a basic synopsis of the movie Black swan. Nina is perfect, and she finds this need for perfection a prison. We see her eat half a fruit for breakfast, spend all her time in the company, and put mountains of effort into every step she takes. This is exactly Nina's downfall - if Leroy was right about one thing it's that perfection is inherently imperfect. It's messy and dirty and full of mistakes, because perfect is expected.
Nina believes her 'freedom' will come in the form of Leroy, that he can cultivate her into the girl she was destined to be, and sees Lily as her doppelganger - an evil xerox who wishes to steal her only answer away from her. Nina is mistaken, and actually her mistake falls perfectly into the plot of Swan lake - she mixes up the roles. Lily is much closer to the prince in the sense she allows Nina to be herself. She genuinely desires to see Nina succeed and yet doesn't believe that Nina should torture herself to perfection. Although it's difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion during the film, when the credits roll, I think we all know who's the twin, who's the swan, and who's the prince.
★ THE THEORY OF ART
Nietzche (😒...) Coined the terms 'dyonisian' and 'apollonian' in his book, Birth Of Tragedy. The Dyonisian is the tendency for freedom - pleasure, lack of thinking, impulse. The Apollonian is the tendency for structure - order, planning, perfecting. Nietzche claims that good art is the balance between the two, you can't be overly obsessive over detail nor carelessly creating.
Nina is Apollonian. She is so invested in being the perfect dancer she loses what made her good in the first place - her love for the profession, her daintiness, her emotional connection to pieces. Throughout the movie, we see how obsessive Nina becomes with perfection as her bulimia gets worse, she grows suspicious of her peers, and eventually resorts (does she...?) to murder for her sake. Truly, Nina couldn't balance art because she couldn't let herself go, and only when she did her performance was perfect.
Black swan made me unnerved. As an artist, it's truly an enthralling experience seeing a young woman shred herself to bits trying to be perfect. I almost cried when Nina forced herself to puke the nothing she ate, because it's an amazing metaphor; trying to use up something that is not there. I think about black swan from time to time, and I realize that Nina isn't perfect - she was. She was her best when she loved dance. When she lived living . When she loved herself.
Stay yourself, stay curious
This is all my fault
