Black Swan

Always remember that film isn't the real world.

It feels real. It has consequences. Continuity must be... except of course it doesn't have to be.

This film isn't reality. It is a type of fantasy. It is part science fiction. It is the filmic representation of a platonic form. It demonstrates with powerful film language what it takes to create the perfect performance. It doesn't surrender in an attempt to be real.

Don't try to understand what actually happened in a film, because it didn't happen.

Understand what the film meant.
