Black Swan is a delicate movie to watch, quite dark, but its related to human desire to achieve something. When someone tried to achieve something right from its heart, he forgets that he is living a life and has some connections with the other world. The same happens here in the movie.
Nina(Portman), who is a ballet Dancer in a New York Ballet company whose life is fully dedicated to her dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. She suffers injuries and pain for her dance but never gives up. The director of the company, Thomas Leroy (Cassel), announces the decision of replacing his MacIntyre (Ryder) for a new Ballerina for a play called Swan Lake, Nina is her first choice.
Swan Lake is a has two characters: Black Swan and White Swan. Nina fits perfectly in the White swan role but there is someone else who fits perfect in Black Swan's role : Lily (Kunis). As these two dances fight for the role , Nina turns more towards her dark character and even hurts herself in lieu of getting the role.
