    Whether it is Neil D'Arcy or Chris Fairbanks, there is no doubt about the praise of "Black Swan", and their remarks are also a microcosm of film reviews in North America. "Black Swan" has been unanimously praised by almost all media  They believe that the reason why this work can be called a classic is that Evan Bell's flexible use of psychological elements is undoubtedly the greatest success.

    Evan Bell's ingenious use of mirrors throughout the film is a typical psychological suggestion, including the position, appearance, and situation of the characters reflected in the mirror, which all have profound psychological effects; the difference between reality and illusion  There is no clear boundary between the two, which is to confuse "reality and surreality", just like "Mulholland Drive" depicts dreams as if they were reality, thus making the audience unable to distinguish the difference between reality and unreality; in the end,  It is worth mentioning that Evan Bell vividly displayed the split personality of the black swan's wings through the wound on Nina's shoulder blade. In the climax of the story, the image of the wings growing out of the wound made the story more interesting.  Although it is horrifying, it also presents the process of split personality in the most realistic way

    There is no doubt that Evan Bell's clever use of psychology can be clearly seen in any corner of the movie, including the subway Nina takes every day, the layout of the bedroom, the hints of sexual elements, etc., even Nina  The costumes, hairstyles, etc. all fit seamlessly into the plot.

    "Black Swan", like "Inception", is a work worth watching and studying over and over again.  However, the profundity of "Inception" lies in a brand-new story system and structure, but the profundity of "Black Swan" comes from countless details. Every time you watch the movie, you will definitely have a new feeling.

    There are many psychological explanations for "black swans".  People largely agree with what Neil Darcy said in the New York Times.  Lily represents the object of Nina's yearning and the fear of competition; Beth symbolizes Nina's longing for career and worries about the future; Thomas is the embodiment and guide of Nina's pursuit of perfection.

    At present, the biggest focus on the plot is focused on Lily and Beth. For example, on the night before the performance, Nina saw Thomas and Lily having sex in the dance studio after the lights were turned off. Is it real or a fantasy? Another example is whether Nina saw Thomas and Lily having sex.  Lily seduced the prince's actor David, causing David to fail to lift Nina during the performance. Is this a fantasy or reality? And the one-night romance between Lily and Nina was really just Nina's fantasy.  , or Lily deliberately refused to admit it

    A lot of controversy and discussion.  This is also the practice of Evan Bell's works. It is normal to trigger heated discussions. It also proves that the details in "Black Swan" have endless potential for exploration.  It deserves further research.  But these controversies have never been locked on the role of mother Erica. It was not until another brand-new point of view emerged, which created serious differences.

    Some people think that Erica is a symbol of feminism, and her strong and domineering desire to control directly led to Nina's split personality; while other people think that Erica is actually Nina's third personality.  This is a hidden personality.  He is also the controlling personality.  After the second view emerged, it caused an uproar and at the same time pushed the depth of the entire work "Black Swan" to a new peak.

    The second point of view was put forward by a professional magazine in psychology. The author was actually Muller Lance, Evan Bell¡¯s mentor when he was at Harvard University. And this article was actually published by a professional magazine. It is really surprising.  Sideways glance.

    "Erica does not actually exist, but is a subconscious intention of self-discipline in Nina's heart. Nina's mother may have left or passed away when she was a child or teenager. But she has always retained the memory of Erica in her mind.  Ka's stern and cautious image, and the way her mother treats her has always retained the strictness and restriction of a little girl. Even her room is arranged in the same way as when she was a child. Erica is Nina's hidden personality, and she is also  The master personality controls the dominant personality of Nina White Swan.

    The authenticity of this theory can be discussed from two angles. First, everything Erica said to Nina was Nina's self-motivation. She relied on her mother who had high expectations and strict requirements for herself mentally.  This force continues to push her forward, even forcing her to move forward. Her life is to pick up and move forward following Erica's previous failed life; on the other hand, Erica is still Nina's weak heart.  When she faces difficulties, she will choose to talk to her mother. When she starts to feel agitated, her mother will control her through the phone. When she loses control of herself, her mother's image will be the last lock.

    In short, Erica is Nina¡¯s main personality that splits off to control herself.  Evan Bell For this, from ?Many details of the film have been revealed.

    Looking at the overall situation, Erica only left the house once from beginning to end, and that was to buy a cake. As for the last scene appearing in the theater, it was Nina's own fantasy.  Moreover, Erica only had a conversation with Nina from beginning to end. In addition, Lily, who appeared at Nina's door, did not have a direct conversation with Erica. Only once, Thomas said that Erica  The phone call came to say that Nina was not feeling well and could not go on stage, but this was not a face-to-face conversation. It was entirely possible that Nina made a call after being controlled by Erica's personality.

    In terms of details, the first one is the scene of eating cake. When Nina refused to eat the cake, Erica got angry and wanted to throw away the garbage. This was really abnormal. It was more like Nina bought the cake to celebrate, but Erica  Rika's personality is self-disciplined and requires Nina not to eat too much.  Here, Erica's personality is more like a self-discipline valve in Nina's heart, urging her to realize the dream that her mother could not fulfill.

    ¡°Then Nina suddenly saw Erica while masturbating, which was even more unreasonable.  Because there was nothing abnormal about Nina before this, there was no need for Erica to stay by the bedside all night. At this time, Erica obviously appeared again as a self-disciplined personality, indicating that Nina was ashamed of her indulgence.

    Lily came to Nina to apologize and went out to drink with her. Here, Erica and Lily did not have any dialogue process. Even in the scene where Lily, Nina, and Erica appeared at the same time, Erica spoke through Nina.  The dialogue between Na and Lily is the embodiment of the inner struggle, which is similar to "Fight Club".

    And the day after Nina fantasized about Lily spending the night at home, Erica watched indifferently as Nina was late and missed an important rehearsal. Since Lily did not go home with Nina, Erica just saw Nina going out.  She was just a daughter who came home late after drinking. If she were real, she would definitely not let Nina's career suffer a devastating blow.  And Erica sitting on the sofa is more like Nina's struggle with self-guilt.

    When Nina visited Beth in the hospital for the second time, she saw that when Beth was self-destructing, not only Beth's face but also her own flashed across her face at the same time, as well as Erica's. This shows that in fact, Nina  Na has been struggling in her heart.  Erica had to give up her dream of being a ballet dancer because she was pregnant with Nina. This dream has been instilled in Nina's mind since she was a child, and Beth is like the image of Erica's success without pregnancy, but  In the end, she fell. Erica's image overlapped with Beth's at this moment, and it is even more obvious that Nina struggled to resist the control of Erica's personality.

    Here, Evan did not give the audience a clear answer: Did Beth harm herself or was it hurt by Nina? In fact, the main thing revealed here is the similarity between Beth and Erica, and it is also Nina's resistance to Erica.  With Rika's substantive actions, I am more willing to believe that Beth was hurt by Nina, but she was quickly frightened.

    As for the end of the story, when Nina achieves self-perfection, she sees Erica sitting in the audience again. This is the last moment before Nina bids farewell to the world after her two personalities have completed the split and the stage performance has been completed.  At a glance, there was no doubt that she could not see any figure in the audience. She only saw the person or thing she wanted to see based on her inner subconscious. The Erica who appeared at this time was no longer her split personality.  , but the appearance of her mother in Nina¡¯s memory.  Then Nina was perfect.

    In short, Erica does not really exist. She is Nina¡¯s third invisible personality, just a phantom created by a strict self-discipline in her heart.  This reminds me of the child in "Fatal Identity" who is always ignored. Who knows that the real root cause is him?  Maybe Erica is the source of Nina's split personality.

    As a master of psychology, Evan Bell has undoubtedly reached a new height in the research and application of psychology, and has achieved a perfect combination with film art, opening up a new field of psychology application, which deserves attention.  "

    This review written by Mullerance is not a film review, it is just a simple psychological analysis, and it is focused on Nina's triple personality and does not have any analysis of the movie.  But after this analysis appeared, it immediately caused an uproar among the audience. If it is true as Muller Lance said, then the depth of the entire movie "Black Swan" will be deepened to another level.

    Of course, many people do not agree with this view of three personalities, and have refuted Mullerance's views.  But this situation is really normal for Evan Bell's works, and it has been a long time coming. After "Juno" and "In the Clouds" received unanimous praise, Evan Bell's works have become more controversial.  It¡¯s back again, which is definitely a gratifying phenomenon.
