complex of social problems, Reivew on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I watched it intermittently on pps, and I kept thinking about why it was called this strange title, and it was not until very later that I understood who the girl in the title was. Although I was already mentally prepared for this kind of European literary film, I still felt that the first hour of the plot was a bit slow, but it was okay, and it was not boring.

In fact, the story is very simple, at least in the movie, but the author uses a novel method to express the role of women as victims of male-dominated society. Patriarchal power, or power extending to the eldest brother, is universal in both China and the West, but the way it is expressed is different. The East is more demanding of spiritual obedience, the so-called three obedience and four virtues, while the West often becomes desire and physical possession.

It is worth mentioning the reactions of the two main women. Harriet and Lisbeth have similar experiences, one chooses to disappear, the other chooses to resist, and the same is the distrust of the judicial system. Of course, this also shows from another perspective that the male-dominated society brings the shackles to women. It's hard to say who was more successful, but at least the film gave us a good-looking ending so we could breathe again.
