Have you ever thought what is success for an artist? Have you ever broken down any their perfomance into pieces?
Being aspire to become the superstar, the perfect and unique artist, a person might lose his control and with his actions blur the border between the light and dark. Then the dark can swallow you whole without any chance to survive and become the previous version of yourself...
The film "Black Swan" can push you to start thinking about above-mentioned, about perfection and idealism overall. Some things in our life we try to do perfectly. Pressure from many aspects could change our personality and all our wishes might be only about being perfect. But nobody knows how it is incredibly hard to achieve the highest level in a perfomance. In this film one specific subject was revealed. It's a ballet. However, in my opinion, the showing story could happen in any sphere.
Here is one ballerina, being always under control and over loved from her mother, having only one dream in her life to be a great artist, she embodied herself into a character giving away whole her mind and soul to this performance. Actually, it was real and breathtaking performance if only it wasn't the last performance in her life. It shows us that artists really put all their physical and emotional efforts in their performances. People can reach glory only in this way and many of us couldn't image how hard it could be. And really, geniuses and successful people might become the most outstanding people only by sacrificing something and it is a bitter true.
But if we really think about this deeply and carefully, we can realize that it doest't worth all the torments. People are really becoming crazy on the way to achive a success. They lose humanity and empathy to each other trying to achive their own goals. But it's not the main problem, the worst thing that they become to hate theirselves without seeing any progress. And now worth thinking about this, is it really worth of this? I mean the glory and the celebrity? Or if you became better than Your Yesterday Version, it could be enough to feel happy? Everyone can find the answer by themselves.
