"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo": David Fincher vs Niels Arden Oplev

almost forgot to make a viewing report. I have re-watched the Swedish version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (directed by Niels Arden Oplev), and compare it with David Fincher's version. . The conclusion is that the Swedish version is much better than Fincher's version.

Oplev can present the hideous face of fascist patriarchy, and it also gives the audience enough room to think like this. This is also the care that the original author wants to express. I believe this is what the author Stieg Larsson wants to express. The original author Larsson also devoted himself to anti-fascism activities while working in his lifetime. Due to his long-term commitment to exposing the illegal actions of Swedish far-right organizations, he has been threatened and threatened with death to a greater or lesser degree for many years. It is believed that Larsson also caused a killing. Fincher's version downplays this kind of care.

Oplev tells the story in a cold and clean manner and rhythm, which not only allows the audience to invest in the process of investigating the case, but also allows the audience to think about the horror of fascist patriarchy. However, Fincher quickly advances the story with stylish images and music. The proportion of the subject and the guest is out of control, and the audience is lost. Especially in the last ten minutes or so, even if I have seen Oplev's version, I already knew who the murderer was. However, looking at Fincher's quick explanation, I didn't understand the logic of solving the case.

Oplev's version presents the profound humanistic care of Europe, but Fincher only processed Larsson's text once in a friendly way, but filtered out the humanistic care of the original, and he was unsure about the story. To be honest, I am very disappointed with Fincher.

I don’t understand why Fincher is still so ugly in the first place. The only possible explanation is that audiences who grew up in the Houlaiwu culture will not unfavorably watch Oplev’s version, so that Fincher and the film company can make a scam. color".
