The ballerina’s evil mirror self is really a portrayal of how she sees her imperfections. As she’s trying to show herself in the mirror how she is supposed to dance correctly, her mirror self is annoyed that she can’t do it right. However we can clearly see that the ballerina is doing the dance correctly compared to how she sees herself in the mirror, signifying how she cannot imagine herself to do things the right way. The injuries that she suffered from her mirror self could have also been the result of over training due to her fear of failing the performance.

[@davids2139]

[@defleshted]

For me the video represents a person who is trying to reach the point of absolute perfection and along the way, trying to achieve that perfection cost the ballerina her life. If you pay close attention, she is going to practice late at night and I think her reflection was a representation of what she thought about herself, her insecurities and fears and deep down, what she really wanted to do as well. Perfection and healthiness don't tend to come hand in hand quite often, most likely in regard to the mental state.

i was a ballerina for 10 years. somehow, i connected with the main character here...on the psychological horror aspect, it felt as if she was forever haunted by the fact that ballet is all she has. the strict rules, the discipline and the striving to become exactly how a ballerina should be, looking like everyone else, synchronizing your movements to everyone else's...i understand why traning alone at night in an empty studio made her lose her mind and brought up those fears of deviating from the norm. this might be a fucking reach, but all in all, loved this movie hahahah

[@ouji8809]

@MageBurger its is definitely scarier! through the years i've seen and heard "horror stories" about colleagues breaking bones from training nonstop, or too hard, or without teacher supervision. a mirror version of the ballerina who throws a tantrum when it can't get the choreography right is somehow on par with seeing another ballerina from the same academy as me get a fracture so bad that her bone was exposed...at rehearsal.

I love this! The reflection is how she sees herself, but that image can never live up to the image of perfection she wants to be. So, the reflection begins to break her, mentally and physically, using her own body against her. Notice how the initial breaks and the zoomed out images don't match. It's like the mental is just as bad as the physical toll. When she let the perfect image go, or die lol, the way she saw herself (the reflection) was able dance freely with no cares.

@GxldenHour Fascinating legend. Never heard of it. But if it's true that they say, the eyes are the mirror of the soul, what are they in front of a mirror? Edit: the legend you told is based upon a neurological reflex. If you look at your reflection for too long and stay still (especially in dimmed light) your image will start appearing deformed and you'll get very uncomfortable because your brain gets "bored" and does not know how to process a fixed, expressionless but very alive image.

It seems to describe an artist or performer who envisions the perfect work of art or performance in their mind. However, when they fail to bring that vision to life, instead of refining it, they simply strangle and kill the idea. The artist here is the reflection in the mirror and this portrayal of the artist is a common reality-a metaphor for how some creative individuals may give up when their imagined perfection doesn't translate into reality.

Let's appreciate how hard it must be for a ballerina to dance like a ballerinas evil reflection. She does it really well, the moves are correct in essence but jittery and awkward, really well done.

[@thewriterhorse32]

I loved this, and reading the comments about how people believe the reflection is a metaphor for the ballerina feeling she is making too many mistakes in the choreography is cool. My interpretation was that the ballerina and her reflection are two separate entities and that when the ballerina saw how the reflection was making mistakes she tried to show her how to do it correctly. Only for the reflection to take advantage of that kindness and use it to hurt the ballerina. In the cutthroat world of ballet making one wrong move can cost you a career, and giving advice to someone can cost you your dream role. That's how O saw it at least.

This was phenomenal. Horror should not just 'scare' you, as scaring is cheap and can be easily achieved with cheap gimmicks like jump-scares... TERROR on the other hand is lasting in it's effects, and much harder to earn. This short film achieves TERROR, hard earned from scenes like the dancing at the end, which is amazing, the moves contrasts greatly from our ballerina's fragile calculated moves we see in the beginning, now being crude and vulgar, indicating that this evil imposter is getting a feel for it's new human form that is so alien to it. It is now lacking any semblance of grace, poorly mimicking the humanity it had observed from the dancer, while simultaneously mocking it. Evil. Brilliant. Bravo.

In this film, I saw jealousy, rivalry and a desire to destroy my competitor. Both in gymnastics and in ballet there is a constant rivalry to be first, "prima". One can see the very fact that the ballerina came to the gym at night for training, and her own envy of the best ballerinas was reflected in the mirror .. And the reflection crippled the ballerina just as if she herself wished this to her competitors. ...Her pointe shoes were disheveled by numerous trainings .. But the fact that even if she eliminated her competitors, her reflection remained in the mirror, which dances very badly ... That is, no physical violence will help this ballerina become the best.
