Heart of Darkness - Black Swan

The Black Swan is an excelent movie about a ballet dancer who is doing a show and she is so into the character that she becomes the character. Through out the movie her mind changes drastically and until she becomes Odile, the Black Swan. Black Swan is similar to Heart of Darkness because Kurtz becomes part of the Africans.

Nina (Portman) was afraid of becoming the Black Swan, it was hard for her "to seduce". Aswell as for Kurtz, he did not wanted to become one of the natives. He would see them as "savage demons" and by the end of the book he became one of them. Aswell as Nina. Nina on the other hand, was afraid of being seduced by Leroy (Cassel). These boath characters slowly begin to gain ambition and power. Kurtz begins to increase his exportations and Nina increases her ambition for Leroy. She has jelousy from Lily (Kunis) because she is able to seduce the audience.

Kurtz ambition grows and he is only thinking of power (the ivory) and getting more jobs. For example when he tries to take the managers job. On the other hand, Nina begins to alucinate that she kills Lily. However these two characters kill themselves because they are so involved in what they are doing that they stay there and never come back. Kurtz dies of maddness as well as Nina, she kills herself because she thought she killed Lily.
