I watched the movie Black Swan the other night. If you have a problem with corruption, hysteria, lesbianism or eeriness, this is not the movie for you. But if you would like to see an incredibly raw performance and don’t mind seeing some disturbing images so long as the movie is well done, than I would suggest it. I am not yet sure if I liked the movie or not; but I certainly appreciate the art of the film. It was dark and mysterious and once you think you have an idea about what might be going on, you realize you really don’t. As a more than avid fan of Nicole Kidman’s, I am reluctant to say, Natalie Portman probably has the Oscar in the bag. Anyway, this is not to tell you how good or bad this movie was; I was motivated by this film to write about corruption.
Everybody can identify corruption on a near daily basis, which is sad to me. I think no matter how decent you are as a human being, there is always a subconscious that wants more and may do anything to get it… the second part of that statement I feel separates the healthy and unhealthy forms of corruption. Where I will never pull out a lead pipe and beat the knee out of my opponent (HOLLA Tanya), I am ashamed to say I have sometimes had thoughts about what opportunities I would have if the competition was eliminated. Then that ‘hard-working’ spirit comes out in me and I realize the only good way to achieve something is through honesty and hard work. Sadly, I’ve known a lot of people that refuse to take that route.
Whether it’s in at work, in relationships or lifestyles, there is always going to be problematic characters. I don’t want to sit here and point fingers at anybody because I am inclined to think this method is a mixture of human nature and the way things were perceived while growing up. In this film, corruption formed within the first few minutes between these ballerinas, all pursuing the same thing; to be the best. I suppose when working for something your entire life, morality can become clouded eventually and it may seem the only way to get your way is to corrupt the person in front of you. In this case, the main character’s worst enemy was herself. She couldn’t control her mind and her madness of wanting to be the best.
This made me think about other lessons I have learned in my life. I have had a couple characters throughout my years that kept me so close it would have seemed we were best friends. Though after a while, I realized they only kept me around just to keep me one step behind where ever they were at the time. I was too meek to stand up for myself so I was naturally an easy victim. It took me a few years but I finally said ‘enough’ to this perpetual manipulation. I was a strong adversary to these people which is why they felt the need to keep me close, silent and self conscience. Once I recognized this, I stomped on the corruption in my life.
I’m sure we have all felt so passionate about something that we become crazy, which is essentially what Black Swan is about. The key is to block that awful form of corruption that seems to seek us out so easily. I feel life’s most successful rewards are more fulfilling when you earn them through ethic. If life is one long game of manipulation, I don’t think it will every be satisfying. |

| Chosing the better, more ethical way makes us stronger, more self-assured and guilt free! A much better way to spend your days! I would hate to spend my life guilt ridden and not able to sleep becuase my conscience is black. Good blog, Allie. Something everyone should think about and strive for. Thanks! |
