English Summary:

Black Swan is a 2010 American psychological horror film directed by Darren Aronofsky. The screenplay was written by Mark Heyman, John McLaughlin, and Andres Heinz, based on an original story by Heinz. The film stars Natalie Portman, Vincent Cassel, Mila Kunis, Barbara Hershey, and Winona Ryder. The plot revolves around a production of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake ballet by the New York City Ballet company. The production requires a ballerina to play the innocent and fragile White Swan, for which the committed dancer Nina (Portman) is a perfect fit, as well as the dark and sensual Black Swan, which are qualities better embodied by the new rival Lily (Kunis). Nina is overwhelmed by a feeling of immense pressure when she finds herself competing for the part, causing her to lose her tenuous grip on reality and descend into madness.

Nina Sayers is a 28-year-old dancer in a New York City ballet company, which is preparing to open its new season with Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. With prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre being forced into retirement, artistic director Thomas Leroy announces he is looking for a new dancer to portray the dual role of the innocent White Swan and the sensual Black Swan. Nina auditions for the role and gives a flawless performance as the White Swan, but fails to embody the Black Swan.

The following day, Nina asks Thomas to reconsider choosing her to play the role. When he forcibly kisses her, she bites him before running out of his office. Later that day, Nina sees the cast list and discovers, much to her surprise and that of her overprotective mother Erica, she will be portraying the lead. At a gala celebrating the new season, an intoxicated Beth confronts Nina, accusing her of sleeping with Thomas to get the role. The following day, Nina discovers that Beth was hit by a car while walking in the street and Thomas believes she did it on purpose.

Chinese Summary:

一個著名的紐約市芭蕾舞蹈團的年輕舞蹈員Nina Sayers（妮妲莉·寶雯 飾），一直與她的母親Erica（芭芭拉·赫希飾）一起生活，而Erica從前也是舞蹈員，Nina一直在Erica的過度掌控下成長，人生唯一目標就是成為萬人景仰的舞台明星。有日，舞蹈團正準備把《天鵝湖》改編演出，導演Thomas Leroy（凡松·卡塞 飾）公開為新一季的《天鵝湖》挑選新主角，Nina跟多位舞蹈員躍躍欲試，但Thomas告訴Nina，指她雖然很適合演女主角白天鵝，但這次Thomas打算將黑白天鵝的角色集中在一人身上，Nina必須也能演活劇中與白天鵝對立的雙胞胎角色：黑天鵝。與此同時，Thomas迫使Beth Macintyre（威诺纳·赖德 飾）退休，他需要尋找一個新的首席舞蹈員。試鏡時，Nina雖能展現完美的白天鵝，但卻不太能表現黑天鵝的性格特點。Nina在試鏡時表現不是很好，她找Thomas並要求他重新考慮自己當主角，他告訴她是理想的白天鵝人選，但她缺乏黑天鵝的那種激情。當Thomas強吻她，她咬了他，此舉卻說服了他選自己為天鵝皇后。Nina日以繼夜地苦練，卻怎麼也擺脫不了現實中自己內向的性格，揣摩不到黑天鵝的熱情奔放和敢愛敢恨的性格，因此常被Thomas批評。
