Black Swan and Whiplash use similar story elements in different ways to shape their stories. In doing so, they each express their own variation on the theme of sacrificing for your art. Black Swan tells the story of a young woman who sacrifices everything to achieve one, fleeting moment of absolute perfection - suggesting absolute perfection requires absolute sacrifice. Whiplash tells the story of a young man who endures intense physical and emotional abuse by a mentor, but manages to grow from the experience, and in the end becomes the next Charlie Parker […] which raises the question, do the ends justify the means? — Lessons from the Screenplay

BLACK SWAN (2010) dir. Darren Aronofsky WHIPLASH (2014) dir. Damien Chazelle

"This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen."
