almost forgot to give a viewing report, has rewatched the Swedish version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (directed by Niels Arden Oplev) and compared David Fincher's version . The conclusion is that the Swedish version is much better than the Fincher version.
Oplev can present the ferocious face of fascist patriarchy, and give the audience enough space to think about it. This is also the concern expressed by the original author, and I believe this is also what the author Stieg Larsson wants to express. The original author, Larsson, was also involved in anti-fascist activities in addition to his work during his lifetime. Due to his long-term commitment to exposing the illegal actions of Swedish far-right organizations, he has been intimidated and threatened with death to varying degrees for many years. It is believed that Larsson was also killed because of this. Fincher's version instead downplays that concern.
Oplev tells the story with a cool and clean approach and rhythm, which not only allows the audience to engage in the process of investigating the case, but also allows the audience to think about the horror of fascist patriarchy. However, Fincher only uses stylish images and music to quickly advance the story. The proportion of the host and the guest is out of control, and the audience is lost. Especially in the last ten minutes, even if I had seen Oplev's version, I would have known who the murderer was, but after reading Fincher's quick explanation, I did not understand the logic of solving the case.
Oplev's version presents the profound humanistic concern of Europe, but Fincher only takes a Hollywood-style treatment of Larsson's text, but filters out the humanistic concern of the original work, and he is not sure how to tell the story. To be honest, I am very disappointed with Fincher.
I don't understand why Fincher is so ugly in the past, the only possible explanation is that audiences who grew up in Hollywood culture will not be less likely to watch Oplev's version, so that Fincher and the film company can come to steal the day, "cheat money and cheat. color".
