I don't like blockbusters, I just like to watch unpopular movies

Maybe because of the preconceived feeling of the Swedish version that I watched first, I didn't like the American version very much. It is true that the Swedish version did not handle the plot very well in some places, but I still like it very much. The American version may be better in terms of plot actors. After all, it is a Hollywood production, and the screenwriters, directors and resources are top-notch. But it's also because of the American-made, Hollywood-style male protagonist, and Hollywood-style sensational ending that gave me a strong sense of sight, and mass-produced blockbusters floated before my eyes.

Many comments say that the male protagonist is very weak, which is true from the first part, but after watching the third part, I feel that the male protagonist is very human. Unlike the American version, he looks like a typical protagonist who is strong and affectionate. The Swedish version has richer characters, the disappointment and loneliness of being framed and sentenced, a little indignation at the betrayal of the magazine, a faint fantasy about the emotions of youth, curiosity about the unknown, and reluctance to decide to do things , A little afraid of being angry at the threat of power, but still reluctant to give up and bow his head, attracted by Salad, he couldn't help but care about her, help her, want to know her news, want to know if she is doing well, see how she has been. Well, happy like a child, more like a real person than a hero shaped by the screen.

After watching the trilogy, I was expecting the male and female protagonists to be together, but unfortunately they didn't. But when I saw the end, when Mike found an excuse that Salander already knew to meet her, he didn't know how to say goodbye, and when he heard Salander say goodbye, his I must see it, I suddenly have an illusion, like watching "The Two Little No Guess", life will always be unsatisfactory like this, but as long as we have that relationship in our hearts, everything we do is worth it of.

To borrow a sentence from Makoto Shinkai: I set off on a journey to say goodbye to you.

    2010-01-21 I have seen it. The big head man and the punk girl (dragon tattoo girl) collaborate. The sub-line plot, picture and rhythm are good. A large number of comments show that after watching the movie, the audience in the celestial dynasty has doubled their interest in Swedish prisons.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo quotes

  • Mikael Blomkvist: [about Martin Vanger] For fuck's sake, Lisbeth. His father trained him to murder at age sixteen. Anyone would be sick in the head with that kind of upbringing.

    Lisbeth Salander: Shut up about the victimisation! He almost killed you. He raped and murdered and he enjoyed it. He had the same chances as us to choose what he wanted to be. He was no victim. He was a sadistic motherfucker who hated women.

  • Mikael Blomkvist: Why?

    Martin Vanger: Why what?

    Mikael Blomkvist: All of this?

    Martin Vanger: Why not? I do what every man dreams of. I take what I want.

    Mikael Blomkvist: How many women after the first?

    Martin Vanger: I don't know. I've lost count. I had a girl in that cage when we were dining upstairs. Those kind of women disappear all the time. No one misses them.
