Darren Arnofsky's 2010 film, "Black Swan" tells the story of self-destruction on the road to perfection. Because perfection is unattainable, the perfectionist will always harbor feelings of inadequacy. While these feelings can drive the perfectionist to greatness, they can also break that person down and compromise their character. By the time perfection is finally reached, the sacrifices made to get there often outweigh the blissful feelings of getting everything just right. In Black Swan, the sacrifices made and the detours taken on the journey to perfection prove to be a tragic price to pay.
