I know it's about a ballerina who fights her dark side and ends up killing herself instead of the dark form of herself. I'm confused.

I'm not surprised that you are confused about the movie, as it actually requires you to think to be able to understand it.

Basically, it's about the pressure and the mental stress that comes with success and the expectations there of.

Spoiler alert, to those who haven't seen it yet:

She totally crashes mentally as she is pushed beyond her limits, and accidentally stabs herself when having a psychotic moment, fighting her "dark side", but because she is so determined to finish her performance, she completes it even with a stab wound in her gut.


It's why Winona Ryder's character turned out the way she did as well, just becoming an alcoholic to try and deal with it instead.

I didn't watch the movie but when I was reading about the movie I saw it had won many awards and stuff. This isn't my kind of film but the story intrigued me. Also wasn't there another character Mila Kunis, and was she the one the White Swan was trying to kill?

You wouldn't get it any way. It deals with the concept of vanity being a bad thing.

The Swedish people are my equal because they are the best looking people and they remain neutral in War. So they are smart and beautiful. Which is why I studied Business. Woop Woop for Sweden. We are the best so forget the rest.

What is your fascination with Swedish people? My father was half-swede, I certainly look it, but by far I am the least interested in that portion of my heritage.

The moral of the movie is that Natalie Portman masturbates. The End.

He considers a certain ethnic group to be better than others and judges some of us based on our nationality. Is that like racism? Look at his reply to Chrome



I prefer judging people on who they are rather than where there from. But that's just me because most of the people in my country always do the opposite.
