The film ( Black Swan) is packed with meaning and can have many levels of interpretation. So much has already written (Cahiers du cinéma , Il Foglio , Corriere della Sera ...), some tracks have enough jokes: sex and adolescence, mothers obligations, the hardness of the lives of the dancers ... concentrated, so, my attention on one aspect, however, central, that is - in Jungian terms - the identification or integration of the personality or the realization of the whole man. "Whole person" is the man who has made or is going through the process of "individuation, integration of the different parts of his personality to achieve its entirety, with the "transformation of man, until then fragmented into a united whole and complete. As the totality of man, his "self", may inherently mean, this "self" is an image of life's purpose empirically produced spontaneously by the unconscious, beyond the desires and fears of consciousness. It is the purpose of the whole man, namely the creation of a whole and of his individuality, his will consenting or not. Driving force behind this process is the instinct that has to ensure that everything part of an individual life makes it an effective role, either with or without the consent of the person, whether they have or not have become aware of what is happening "( Works, XI, p. 440). Because the discovery process can take place is therefore necessary to accept that "part of personality that should supplement the conscious man to realize his completeness. First is a fragment of a minor [...] but at the same time, along with the fragment that could complement our consciousness, making it a whole, the unconscious is already present all the same, namely ' Homus totus Western alchemists 'real man ( chen-yen ) of the Chinese alchemists, the primordial being spherical inner man is the greatest, the' Anthropos that is akin to divinity. It is inevitable that this inner part is unconscious, for consciousness as a mere part of a man can not grasp the whole. But the whole man is always present, since the breakdown of the human phenomenon is an effect of consciousness, which is composed only of representations sovraliminari ( Works , XIV, p. 124 ff.) It should be noted that each dichotomous separation brings with it the possibility of integration and provides tools for possible inclusion.
is this integration that seeks to make the heroine Nina, who, in the scene ( Swan Lake) and in life, wants to express the white swan and black swan, bringing to light his Dark Half, bring the two sides of his personality. The Wholeness as an expression of the fullness of all aspects of the personality is the goal of existence, to be achieved through the fact and integration of opposites with a work in which each step requires discipline, sacrifice, perseverance, overcoming that Totality of the attributes that characterize the world over, through their "aggregation". "I can dominate an opposite only because, through the perception of both, I free thus arrive at the center . There just are no longer subjected to the opposite ( Works, XI, p. 476 ff.) When two opposites come together and arrive at a synthesis is the result of the acquisition of a higher level of existence.
In the film the "work" the protagonist's psychological overlaps professional work and manifests all the violence related to anxiety of perfection, combined with the conquest of excellence. The difficult task splits it instead of uniting it, so going through a psychotic phase and makes his final martyrdom in backstage . Director Aronofsky has gone from a kind of obsession: the quest for perfection. Perfect (from perfectum , part. Pass. surface from for , to the end, and facere , do, do, in turn, by complete , filling, from cum , intensive, and PLENUS , full) is not unlimited, but what is done completely, filling the measure, which did not need anything else, able to "arrest" the course of time and where you can stop. There are many possible levels of perfection so understanding and integration locating knows countless achievements, though often erroneously considered synonymous with excellence and perfection (examples: "It is finished" on the Cross, is the perfect tea ceremony Sen no Rikyu, the perfect act of Nureyev and the voice of Callas, the embrace of S. Francis, Perspective Borromini's Palazzo Spada and the shapes of monstrous buildings that the architect designed Boullée ...). The perfection of excellence has its martyrs (suicide note Sen no Rikyu, Borromini, Vatel, Mishima ... to name but a few of those in the fields, at different times and in different contexts, have expressed "distress" inherent in their being too long or too close to all, reminding us of the likelihood of achieving excellence in the "blink of the heart") Nina and dies saying "I was perfect," referring to his latest performance-only. But the completeness in the consciousness of martyrdom has a much larger value because even the mortifying experience of pain irredeemable, which is not exceeded in any given creativity and can in no "story" may find its "fulfillment" in its' only "perfection" accessible to those who lost everything and only in the consciousness of martyrdom, the extreme possibility of a building will be transformed into an independent, full of awe, through the "power loss" to the "power loss" : reaffirmation of subjectivity in the consciousness of oppression and affirmation of a value of "other" than the Law (of God, life, society ...).
On a balance of psychological-psychotherapeutic Finally, if the integration is carried out always and by all, the pursuit of excellence rather than obedience to daimon may be an expression of narcissism, absence of limits, immaturity and thus be not only foolish and destructive but in-conclusive, a form of hubris .
