Knitted Baby Boots With Sheep Skin Bottom

Black swan

Our culture of Judeo-Christian tradition is marked by the biblical idea of \u200b\u200bgood and evil, by the antagonism between the two forces, and also breathed and belief formed through the media that subjugate our daily lives that This can be explained in terms of white and black, Coca Cola and Pepsi, PSOE and PP, Real Madrid and Barca, completely ignoring the essential gray palette absolutely essential to understand the world around us. Robert Louis Stevenson in his immortal classic The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr.Hyde told us " every day, and with the help of two aspects of my understanding, the moral and intellectual, I got closer to the truth whose partial discovery has led me to this terrible wreck and that is that the man is not one, but two. I say two because my skills have not gone beyond this point. Others will follow, others will surpass me in knowledge, and I dare to predict that at last the man shall be held and recognized as a conglomerate of diverse personalities, dissenting and independent . "Stevenson told us that we were two in one, and even we could be many more. Arrojo-shyness, humor, seriousness, mercy, cruelty, arrogance, insecurity, all this and more we are depending on time and experiences we have lived.

Robert Louis Stevenson knew this, and also when Tchaikovsky wrote his legendary ballet Swan Lake . In it the author dives between love and magic to show the eternal struggle between good and evil, or what is different between the white swan and / or black we all are. In turn, the ballet, by its very nature is an art in which pain and perfection are inextricably linked, with the latter a result of the enormous sacrifice that is the first, an art, in short that has a lot of asceticism or medival even mysticism. Fingers calloused and worn, dislocated bones, sprained ankles, bodies pushed to the limit of its flexibility and strength, all to achieve perfection and beauty.



black Swan tells the story of a young dancer named Nina (Natalie Portman ), which has achieved the leading role in the representation of the Swan Lake to be make the company which is a part. His excellent technique makes it entirely suitable for the role of the white swan, but to turn his extreme naivety and childlike innocence and impede the interpretation of the role of the black swan. From there you must take a path of introspection and self-discovery, sponsored by the ballet director, Thomas Leroy ( Vincent Cassel), or in other words, learn to feel.





The excellent film of Darren Aronofsky metaballet is an exercise, at the crossroads of life and work, technical cold and warm feeling, and it mingles its director wisely reality and paranoia of the main character brilliantly played by Natalie Portman immeasurable , using paraphernalia own horror film in which we can see how each objects becomes a potential weapon: the broken mirrors, the nail files ...., turn the main character's own mother, played by Barbara Hershey fully exerts a repressive and utterly emasculating about their own daughter, who lives in a room surrounded by stuffed animals, old childhood friends who serve as guardians of the emotional prison where he lives. the author of Requiem for a Dream walks throughout the film on a thin wire as an expert tightrope walker would get ahead of getting a very risky film brilliantly in the hands of any other filmmaker would have much less gifted fallen into the most absolute ridiculous.

passion, despair, pain, joy and excitement, a nightmarish absolutely fascinating journey through the psyche of man, which shows that indeed we are more than one, and that is if Robert Louis Stevenson and Tchaikovsky knew , Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky know too.
