Psychology: This thriller reveals the devastating influence of a controlling mother on her children.
Psychologically speaking, a mother will have a far-reaching influence on a child's personality.

The inner connection with mother is not only the source of strength and love, but also the beginning of life disorder.

20 10 Natalie Portman's film Black Swan tells such a supernatural thriller.

Nina is an excellent ballet dancer, and her mother used to be a ballet dancer, living alone. Thomas, the artistic director, chose a new lead dancer for the new season of Swan Lake, and Nina competed with a girl named Lily.

The tortuous and fierce competition forced Nina to open a horrible and strange road of self-exploration and self-destruction.

There are many incredible details in the play. Nina's seemingly strange and mysterious "illusion" or action is a contest between her "seemingly lovely daughter" and "potentially rebellious daughter".

It is her struggle between "docile white swan" and "overbearing black swan".

In the final analysis, it is inextricably linked with her narcissistic and traumatized mother.

Nina has always been raised as a good daughter, and the external performance is a white swan: beautiful, timid, cowardly and obedient.

Mom will put a music box and many plush toys in the room to help sleep.

She doesn't allow Nina to close the door, take off her clothes, often touch Nina's long hair, and doesn't allow Nina to come home late. She is always eager to call Nina. ......

She was a little excited to hear that a new lead dancer would be chosen for the new season's performance.

Nina stole a lipstick from Beth, the lead dancer, after she left the dressing room.

She took the first step of "cracking down" and "rebelling"-stealing!

It can be seen that Nina's real needs were not seen by her mother, who restricted her dress.

In my daughter's mind, I want to be perfect and get the leading position of the black swan, so I am eager to follow the leading position of my predecessor.

Next, she put on lipstick and went to see Thomas alone.

When Thomas told her that he had made up his mind that she would not lead the dance, she turned and left a little disappointed.

But Thomas stopped her and kissed her hard. She bit Thomas instinctively.

It is this anger that releases instinct that makes Thomas see her dark potential and openly elect her as the lead dancer of Black Swan.

Because what Thomas wants is a wild, biting, seductive, evil and bold black swan.

I heard that Nina was chosen as the leading role. Beth, an old actress, had a car accident and her leg was badly hurt. Everyone said that she did it on purpose.

In fact, psychologically speaking, when a person has psychological problems, his body will react accordingly-there will be pain that he can't control and understand.

The leg injury is because Beth is afraid of being replaced and abandoned. She felt that she could never perform standing up again.

Beth's serious injury also gave Nina heavy psychological pressure and hints.

When Nina told her mother her good news, when she got home, she found that her mother had prepared a big cake for her. She claimed that her stomach was upset, but her mother suddenly changed her face and wanted to throw the cake into the trash can.

Seeing this, Nina said "I'm sorry" and reluctantly agreed to her mother with a smile.

Here's a detail. Mother fed Nina a cake with her finger. This is the way mothers feed their babies. In the eyes of her mother, Nina is taken care of as a child and can't have her own opinions.

After Thomas publicly announced that Nina was the new lead dancer, the two had different conversations. Thomas asked Nina if she had many boyfriends.

Nina's answer is: However, none of them are formal.

Why?

This implies that the mother will forcibly interfere with and interrupt her daughter's normal friendship.

From a psychological point of view, the * * * relationship with my daughter also leads to the "two-person world" between mother and daughter, and there is no room for a third person.

Even when Lily came to Nina's side, her mother's instinctive reaction was not to warmly welcome her in.

Instead, we should be vigilant and examine, directly shut Lily out and avoid contact and communication with her daughter.

Nina has a normal girl's desire for romance and friendship, but neither is allowed by her mother, so it is informal. She has never been relaxed, formal and bold in love, and can't establish intimate relationship.

Thomas intends to release Nina's depression and let her go back to masturbation.

The moment I woke up in the morning, Nina masturbated in bed. When she entered the state, she suddenly had hallucinations and saw her mother sitting next to her, so she turned away in fear.

She crept out of her mother's house and found her mother secretly crying at a room full of portraits.

I can see that my mother is also suppressing herself.

Because of the "transmission of intergenerational trauma", the daughter's experience is often "forced to repeat" by her mother, so Nina must be depressed.

There are several pictures of Nina bleeding in the film, mainly in two places, one is her back and the other is her finger.

Let's talk about fingers first.

She masturbated in the bathroom, and after entering the state, blood began to appear in the bathtub, and a girl with a strange smile appeared in front of her eyes.

She was so scared that she quickly poked her head out of the bathtub, only to find that both her index finger and middle finger were bleeding.

The second time her finger bled, she cut her nails herself.

I think there are two meanings here. On the one hand, the middle finger stands for "sex", so it can be judged that Nina is sexually depressed;

On the other hand, nail bleeding represents Nina's resistance and frustration to her mother's over-care. In the film, Nina's mother cuts her nails herself.

In response, she resisted and was angry, so her fingers bled while cutting her nails.

These are all reflections of her inner trauma.

Two masturbations, either imagining her mother looking at her or imagining a sexy and dissolute girl with bleeding fingers, show Nina's inner struggle.

On the one hand, working hard for the ideal role in her heart, she wants to finish the homework given to her by Thomas-masturbation;

But in the process of trying, she began to become unlike that clever self, because for many years, her mother clamped down on her thoughts and actions, and once there was a slight deviation, she would be reprimanded or banned by her mother.

So, her heart was full of panic, so she had hallucinations.

Psychologically speaking, people are used to familiar scenes and things, even if they know that change is right, they will be afraid of change, because it means strangeness and uncontrollable.

Nina's sexual repression comes from her mother;

She and Lily stayed up late and came home. When questioned by her mother, she rebelled and said, "I slept with two men." Her mother slapped her and tried to cover her mouth.

Explain that at home, sex is ashamed to be talked about. Even when she sat down with her mother and whispered, her mother would say to her, "I'm worried that he will take advantage of you."

Pay attention to the details here. Nina tried to expose her mother's past, but she stopped talking because of her mother's strength. It is quite possible that Nina's mother was pregnant before marriage.

That's why I'm worried that my daughter will repeat the same mistakes, be violated by men, and repeat the pain and trauma of the past.

Besides, back injury.

There are three back injuries in the film, each of which is more serious.

When Nina came home from a troupe party, her mother took off her clothes. Seeing the injury on her back, she suspected that she scratched it with her hand again, so she never recovered. Even her mother put gloves on her to prevent her from scratching.

The injured position is the place where wings can grow on the back, which is very meaningful; The injury is not good, which represents Nina's inner resistance and anger at her mother;

In the dark space after dancing, she saw Lily and Thomas making out, and the panic that she was replaced by Lily prevailed.

Directly stimulate her to go home, throw away the music box that mom specially put in the room, and stuff all the plush dolls into the trash can.

She hallucinated and saw the painting on the wall crying and moaning;

After she tore down all the portraits, black feathers began to grow on her back and her eyes turned red.

This is because she started a real rebellion, and her inner cry was completely aroused, so her back, from blood to black wings, completed a preliminary transformation.

Judging from Nina's mother's excessive care for her, her mother is a typical narcissistic personality, and it is easy to cultivate a daughter with a "please" personality.

For example, when she was kissed by Thomas, she instinctively resisted and bit Thomas, but after pulling it out, she apologized to Thomas: "I'm sorry!" " "

Her words and deeds are inconsistent, and Nina is confused and vague about how to deal with special situations. She can't completely follow her inner feelings.

When mom was angry because she didn't want to eat cake, she immediately apologized: "No, mom, I'm sorry."

When Thomas was angry with her bland performance and then left, she just whispered "Wait …"

Nina has an immature mother who "kidnapped" Nina, gave birth to her and forced her to project her unbearable emotions.

Nina can't enter the real intimate relationship, feeling depressed and angry, and can't establish a basic sense of trust and security with others.

This mental torture and suffocation caused Nina's emotional and psychological problems.

Therefore, in the process of competing with Lily for the leading role, Nina is always overly anxious and suffers from persecution paranoia.

Compared with bright, naughty and wild Lily, she always appears stiff, rude and sensitive.

When her rehearsal was approved by Thomas, but she heard that Lily was her body double, a strong sense of crisis made her run to Thomas, claiming that Lily had "ulterior motives".

When she found out that Lily was seducing Thomas, she was so scared that she went straight to the hospital to find Beth, the former lead dancer, and cried and said, "Now I understand that feeling. She wants to replace me! "

After excessive panic, I fantasized that my leg was broken and I became Beth, and I could never dance again.

Finally, why didn't Nina's mother, who longed for her success, let her play the role of black swan?

Because my mother once said, "Don't ruin your career by giving birth to you like me."

It can be speculated that Nina's mother's acting career was interrupted by a birth event.

Psychologically speaking, children's independence and awakening will stimulate the mother's traumatic experience, and the mother will feel that she is about to be abandoned.

Therefore, she doesn't want her daughter to be a black swan, out of her control, and she doesn't want her daughter to surpass herself and make herself look like an incompetent mother.

So she told her daughter, "that role will ruin you!" "

Nina growled at her mother, "I am the swan queen, and you can only go forward all your life."

Nina, who rushed out of the house like crazy, went to the dressing room, looking calm, confident and decisive.

And her back, there is no blood at all, and her injury has healed because she broke through her mother's obstacle.

Before the official performance, her dark qualities were aroused for fear of being replaced.

She imagined Lily sitting in her dressing room, and she impulsively stabbed her with broken glass.

But when the performance of White Swan was about to begin, she found that there was no blood or body of Lily in the dressing room.

She panicked, and the pain on her body let her know that she actually assassinated herself in an illusion.

When performing White Swan, Nina tried her best to see her tearful mother in the audience.

She finally perfectly interprets the white swan in her mother's eyes and perfectly reproduces Thomas and the black swan she longed for;

However, the price paid is to break the pathological connection with the mother, gain freedom and independence, get rid of imprisonment and get rid of it completely by assassinating yourself.

She fell down calmly and muttered, "I am perfect."

Mothers have a profound influence on children's life. Control can make children feel suffocated and angry, leading to irreparable tragedy.

This is the psychological significance of the film Black Swan.
