Mother = abusive
Narassacist
Old man blowing kisses = father figure
Vincent = sexual control and manipulation = male fantasy and control = insulting men ? Stereotypical/ sexual deviance
Difficult to align with Nina due to her mental state = victimised. An exaggerated example of control over women's lives
Manipulated by mother, mila and vince
Cake scene with her mother -Freud no father figure = arrested sexual development - seeks sexual and father figure with her boss /director

Godlike powerful perspective on film : 3rd person and continuity edition
An illusion of who you think you might be
Your suppressed ideas and fantasies empowering you
When you watch a film you see the overall situation = a god like perspective. Persuing the fantasy. Losing yourself in the reality
Continuity edits, jump cuts and direct address ; jolts you out of the god like perspective you recieve In The film.
Omni-present : nothing restricts the camera. God like perspective
Omni- scient : know everything
= hallucinations proves this
Multiple versions of herself
Whenever she sees herself she bleeds. Is her other personalities hurting herself ? This is physically representing her mental damage
Broken or distorted mirrors
