在独自欣赏《黑天鹅》的宁静夜晚，我的心不由得随着剧情起伏，各种心情交替而来——平静、兴奋、压抑、惊恐、惊喜、沉重……
母亲年轻时因放纵自己的欲望不得不舍弃了梦想，于是想将女儿妮娜塑造成自己的完美替身。强烈的支配欲和畸形的爱，使得妮娜总是表现得中规中矩。她热爱芭蕾，苦练成为技艺高超的舞蹈演员；她渴求完美，每个动作都反复练习；她是白天鹅的化身，美丽、高雅、柔弱，但却缺少黑天鹅妖艳魅惑的放荡和带有邪恶的骄傲。
妮娜开始了她的悲喜人生路。她偷走心中完美偶像贝丝的物品，极力模仿；她在舞剧导演汤姆斯的诱导下，打开心房；她与隐形的竞争对手莉莉交好，彻夜放荡……这些都使她埋藏在内心深处的本性冲出牢笼，一步一步地释放，在舞剧首演时将黑天鹅的角色发挥到极致。但是，在这个逐渐认识自我的过程中，令妮娜始料未及的是，这一切都出自她的幻想。她对芭蕾几近疯狂地痴迷，生怕别人抢走天鹅女王这个她等待许久的角色，于是，强烈的心理暗示、人格分裂、自残充斥着她的生活，最终也使她在成功的同时断送了自己的生命。
我想，妮娜亦可敬亦可怜，她是白天鹅与黑天鹅的现实化身，外表柔弱，内心狂热，最终她蜕变了，摆脱了束缚，获得了掌声，她从女孩成长为女人，正如娜塔莉说的，她并不认为影片是以妮娜的离去为终结的，而是妮娜获得了新生。

The Academy's Natalie
奥斯卡新晋影后
From The 83rd Academy Awards 2011
从《这个杀手不太冷》（The Professional）中的马蒂尔德到《黑天鹅》（Black Swan）中的妮娜，娜塔莉的演艺生涯走过了19个年头。2011年，娜塔莉收获了人生中的第一座奥斯卡小金人，也即将迎来一份同样珍贵的礼物—与未婚夫爱情的结晶。舞台上的她星光熠熠，影片中的她演技娴熟，但你无法想象这位30岁的准妈妈拥有怎样的履历：纽约长岛高中的高材生、哈佛大学心理学学士、精通六种语言、曾任哥伦比亚大学客座讲师……这让人不得不对她刮目相看。接下来，我们一起来听听娜塔莉在获得奥斯卡最佳女主角之后的感言吧。

Developing the Black Swan
“黑天鹅”诞生之路
From The Making of Black Swan
《黑天鹅》的诞生并不是偶然。早在八年前，导演达伦就找到了娜塔莉，两人一拍即合，那就是拍摄一部有关芭蕾舞的电影。娜塔莉幼时学过舞蹈，有一定的功底，但是为了更完美地展现影片中专业的芭蕾舞演员的形象，她经过了很长一段时间的艰苦训练。正是由于这种与生俱来的表演天份和忘我的敬业精神，加上专业的心理学知识帮助她更好地揣摩角色，我们才看到了如此完美的“黑天鹅”。正如影片最后妮娜所说—I felt perfect! I was perfect!
Nina(Natalie): “(on the phone) He picked me, mommy. Do you hear me?”
妮娜（娜塔莉饰）：“（打电话）他选了我，妈妈。你听到了吗？”
Erica(Barbara Hershay): “For Swan Lake?”
艾瑞卡（芭芭拉·赫希饰，影片中妮娜的母亲）：“跳《天鹅湖》吗？”
Nina: “I'm going to be Swan Queen…Mom…I'll be home soon. I just wanted to let you know.”
妮娜：“我要跳天鹅女王了……妈妈……我一会儿就回家，现在就是想告诉你（这个好消息）。”
Erica: “I love you.”
艾瑞卡：“我爱你。”
Nina: “I love you, too.”
妮娜：“我也爱你。”
Natalie:Darren and I talked about doing a ballet film eight years ago. He came up and met me at school—I was 20—and it sort of took this long to 8)gestate and get to where it is. There were all these layers sort of building up to 9)shooting.
娜塔莉：八年前，达伦和我就计划要拍一部有关芭蕾舞的电影。他到学校来找我，那时我才二十岁。从一开始的构思到有了现在这部电影，花了这么长时间，包括筹备到拍摄的方方面面。
Thomas (Vincent Cassel): “At last I can see the black swan.”
托马斯（文森特·卡塞尔饰，影片中芭蕾舞剧的导演）：“最后，我要看到黑天鹅。”
Darren (The Director): Good. Cut.
达伦（导演）：很好。停。
Natalie: The script is really interesting and it sort of parallels to the Swan Lake stories.
娜塔莉：剧本很有意思，与天鹅湖的（童话）故事有关。
Nina: “(whisper) Just wanna be perfect.”
妮娜：“（低声说）我想要完美。”
Thomas: “You what?”
托马斯：“你想要什么？”
Nina: “Wanna be perfect.”
妮娜：“想要完美。”
Natalie:She's dedicated and obsessed and hard-working, but it's not letting her be free enough or sensual enough.
娜塔莉：她为这个角色倾注心力、如痴如醉、全力以赴，但却不够释放自己，找到感觉投入（黑天鹅）这个角色。
Thomas: “It's also about letting go.”
托马斯：“（完美不是控制出来的，）是爆发出来的。”
Natalie: The thing about being an artist is being unique and having your own special voice, and she really starts seeing herself everywhere and her identity sort of bleeds out.
娜塔莉：要成为一个艺术家，得独树一帜，有自己的风格。她（指妮娜）开始（产生幻觉）到处看见另一个自己，但个性也慢慢突显出来。
Over the years I sort of kept up with dance classes here and there, and then six months ago I started serious ballet training. It was definitely challenging beyond the technique, which was really, really challenging obviously. You know, I really was lucky that Mary Helen Bowers, who trained me, was really, really attentive to making sure I was always warmed up properly and that we did all these exercises like, that I would never of [sic] thought of. You don't see all of the work that goes into the smallest of gestures, so that was really interesting, and to see how they direct you through it, I mean it's all…it's a lot of acting, which is…was helpful, 'cause that was the part that I was, like, ‘Oh, I've really done this before'.
几年来，无论身在何处，我都坚持上舞蹈课，六个月前我开始接受专业的芭蕾舞训练。在技术上超越是件很困难的事情，真的非常有挑战性。幸运的是，我的教练玛丽·海伦·鲍斯很细心，总会指导我正确地进行热身，然后做一些我从未想过的动作练习，你不知道一个动作就连最微小的细节部分都这么讲究，这确实很有意思。他们用这些方法来指导你，很多跟表演有关，让我受益匪浅，因为这就是我所经历过的，我会说：“噢，我以前确实这么做过。”
Darren: Well, I think Natalie had this really hard job that not only did she have to dance and be convincing as a ballet dancer, but she also had to, you know, act the scenes that were happening while she was dancing. There was…and there was a lot of emotional choices she had to make.
达伦：对娜塔莉来说，演出这个角色颇具挑战，不仅因为她得跳舞，并且是作为一个专业芭蕾舞演员，还因为她得表演舞蹈中所需要表现的剧情。她需要把握好角色在情绪上的转换。
Natalie: It's amazing, after sort of letting it develop for so long, to still find new things after, like, eight years working on it was pretty…pretty cool.
娜塔莉：太令人惊叹了，经过了这么长时间的准备，之后又不断地注入新元素，我想说，花八年的时间去完成这部电影，很值得。
