David Fincher is making a comeback after "The Social Network" with this "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo." This is a suspense film that reflects many social realities while pursuing the truth of evil.

The opening film is bright and blind, and the silver-gray liquid models of various metallic textures are integrated with the main characters in the film, which is dynamic and rhythmic. It is said that the 2.5-minute title film took 4 months to produce. In the highly commercialized Hollywood, you still see this kind of work attitude all the time. I wonder how people in China who can produce a piece of garbage in ten days think about it. The enjoyable rhythm brought by the sharp editing is still the biggest feature of David Fincher, and the Oscar's best editing is by no means a vain name. You must know that all Oscar awards are voted by the same group of people. I found that there is an obvious problem of "love the house and Wu". If you love a movie, you will vote for all the awards. And "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" has only 2 nominations. It competed with "Hugo" in the editing award and the hit "The Artist" with N nominations, and it was able to stand out, which shows its excellence.

The film is based on the best-selling Swedish novel of the same name, and the story takes place in Sweden. The original novel is intertwined, and the film version has been simplified. In my opinion, it is quite reasonable. The plot is full, the rhythm is tight and tight, and there is no sense of running accounts in the Harry Potter movies. But let a group of British and Americans act a suspenseful story in a manor in northern Sweden. I wonder if the Swedish audience will have the feeling of watching the "Chinese" pretending to be from Southeast Asia in Hollywood movies. Outside, I have no sense of disobedience. But the impact of this plot is extraordinary. Northern Europe is a peaceful place in the hearts of Chinese people. "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" shatters this image. What we see is the cold interpersonal relationship under the quiet appearance. Relationships, and all kinds of perverted and unimaginable sins. In Europe and the United States, there are often cases of extreme taste, and I think it has something to do with the too quiet and dull life. People still need constant stimulation to survive. It is better to experience the specific plot and taste for yourself. The movie is very restrained so far. However, there is no problem with the explosive plot that is related to Rooney Mara, and the director really understands it.

The male protagonist is Daniel Craig, the current 007. Although he is the roughest and most violent in the previous 007s, he is really weak compared to the heroine in this film. Another nomination for this film is the actress, Rooney Mara, a petite and pretty girl born in 1985, who not only has a refined temperament, but was nominated for an Oscar at the age of 26. I had doubts before, but after watching this film, I no longer doubt that she is definitely an increasingly rare acting star. First of all, can you think of the same person as Zuckerberg's ex-girlfriend in "The Social Network"? In this film, she has a cool personality, is rude to others, sleeps with women, and rides a motorcycle like no one. Would anyone like such a girl? But Rooney Mara did it. Under her cold and expressionless exterior, through her words and deeds, we felt that she was also a girl with a delicate heart, but she was smarter and sharper, but she had a tragic past. The relationship between the male and female protagonists has always been an essential but cliché element in all kinds of movies. This film handles it quite cleanly, but it is moving.
