Nina (Natalie Portman) is a veteran ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life is dominated by two things: ballet and her overbearing mother (Barbara Hershey), with whom she shares an apartment. She's toiled in relative anonymity for years, but her luck changes when she's awarded the lead in Swan Lake, usurping the spotlight from the company's longtime featured starlet, Beth (Winona Ryder). |
尼娜(娜塔莉?波特曼 飾)是紐約一家芭蕾舞團(tuán)的資深舞者,她的生活里只有兩樣?xùn)|西:芭蕾和她性格專(zhuān)橫的母親(芭芭拉?赫希 飾)。尼娜與母親住在一起,盡管辛苦演出了多年,卻籍籍無(wú)名。最近,她時(shí)來(lái)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn),受命在芭蕾舞劇《天鵝湖》中出演主角,搶走了一直以來(lái)籠罩在劇團(tuán)首席女星貝絲(薇諾娜?瑞德 飾)頭上的光環(huán)。 |
Thomas (Vincent Cassel), the director, is hesitant about Nina's ability to play the role, however. While she has the technical expertise to pull off the White Swan portion of the role, she lacks the seductiveness he desires for the evil doppelganger Black Swan portion. Thomas tries to get it out of her by pushing her buttons with sexual advances and intrusive inquiries and by pitting her against Lily (Mila Kunis), a new dancer in the company who lacks the technical aspect but embodies the Black Swan's sultry emotion. |
然而,對(duì)于尼娜是否有能力出演這個(gè)角色,舞劇導(dǎo)演托馬斯(文森特?卡塞爾 飾)還是心存疑慮。她技巧嫻熟,能夠出色地完成白天鵝的戲份;但在扮演相貌相同、生性邪惡的黑天鵝時(shí),她身上卻缺乏導(dǎo)演所要求的那種魅惑。托馬斯用挑逗的行為和步步緊逼的質(zhì)詢引導(dǎo)尼娜,試圖讓她表現(xiàn)出這種妖魅的感覺(jué),同時(shí)還安排新進(jìn)舞者莉莉(米拉?庫(kù)妮絲 飾)與她競(jìng)爭(zhēng)這個(gè)角色。莉莉雖然在技巧方面有所缺欠,卻能把黑天鵝的放蕩性情表現(xiàn)得活靈活現(xiàn)。 |
As Nina forms an uneasy alliance with the open and friendly Lily, the pressure seemingly begins to manifest itself on her body. Red marks begin appearing on her back, and her skin begins to peel. Nina's eyes seem to be playing tricks on her: inanimate objects move, and she sees shadowy figures who look a lot like her. Is she cracking up, or could Lily be a true-life doppelganger out to curse her? |
與坦率友善的莉莉合作,讓尼娜感覺(jué)很不自在,心理上受到的壓力開(kāi)始在她身體上顯現(xiàn)出來(lái)。尼娜的背上出現(xiàn)了紅色的傷痕,皮膚開(kāi)始脫落。眼睛也開(kāi)始捉弄她,時(shí)常覺(jué)得有東西在眼前晃動(dòng),還能看到酷似自己的朦朧人影。她精神崩潰了嗎?又或者莉莉是一個(gè)幽靈,來(lái)到現(xiàn)世詛咒了她?
