Heroes & Villains:
With the blurring of morality the figure the hero often melts together with the villain's.
For example, in Inception, Cobb's character (Leonardo diCaprio) shows the layers of his personality as the story progresses. The audience explores the complexity of the character through observing him different situations, relating to other characters. Firstly, he seems as a noble leader of a small group of people, secondly, he appears as a man with a troubled past, with greed for money in order to return to his normal life, and towards the end it becomes clear that his guilt is enormous not only against the team members who trusted but against his own wife and family.Dual Identity:
In Arnofky's Black Swan, Nina plays both the White and the Black Swan in the famous Ballet production, The Swans' Lake. Nina (Natalie Portman) not only has to struggle with the hard ballet training which slowly damages both her soul and body, but also has to emerge from the back row to fame. The competition begins to become a star, to be a real artist - and to be perfect.
