Nina's doppelgänger

This movie was not for everybody and so as this blog. You should be informed that this is my own evaluation. Whatever I wrote here is something you should never believe until seen.


To make this blog a lot easier for me to make, I decided to list all questions left unanswered and a very amateur-ish review of the movie.


1.) Mirror Effect - Nina saw herself on the paintings her mother made. The colors were gloomy and the faces distorted but still smiling. She saw jealousy, anger, and desperation from those.

2.) Struggle within the character - Hallucinations mixed with paranoia led to self-destruction.


3.) Not-so good childhood - Overprotective mother!


4.) Insecurity - Thought she was not perfect, which even led to  attraction to the same sex.


5.) Dependency - She thought she was nobody because her mother made her feel that she can't stand on her own.


6.) Theft - The stealing. She thought Beth was perfect and she desired to be like her. She thought she would become like Beth the moment she starts using her stuff.


Questions:


1.) What made her think she's not perfect? Does the absence of a father figure made her feel imperfect?


2.) When did she start the habit of scratching herself? What triggered it? What does it mean? Lack of self-confidence? The feeling of inferiority?


3.) The peeling of skin and the, urrgghh, the toes. What happened to her toes? That was just kinda disturbing.


I tried my best to elaborate on these thoughts but just like the movie, I'm twisted. My mind's a roller coaster now and I guess I'd be able to put these words together better if I hit the sack.
