Black Swan Ending Explained: Nina’s Final Performance and the Death of Innocence
The ending of Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan may be challenging or difficult to comprehend for some viewers, but that’s okay because I am here to try and break it down. Black Swan is a draining, emotionally taxing experience, built to replicate the shattered, insecure mind of Nina. The fight between debauchery and innocence of the White and Black swan, manifest themselves as the two halves of Nina. This creeps more and more forward throughout the film as Nina battles between her overbearing mother and the politics of a leading role in an A list ballet.
