The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo |
I went up to Universal City and saw this at noon. The actual girl with the dragon tatoo (GWDT) is a postmodern anti-hero. She is a data pirate genius, a misfit who, by the end of the film, I had every confidence she could solve any mystery. I liked her character and was into her as an interesting character.
To be honest, I could not read the book. It was too slow and boring. The GWDT spends an afternoon pouring over financial records of a company. How they made this interesting is what makes the film work for me. The film is set in Sweden and I could not help but think how the author took Arthur Conan Doyle and tweaked a Sherlock Holmes plot and made it his own. The protaganist is an investigative journalist, who is invited to a remote part of Sweden, to the island of an the eccentric wealthy family. All types of horrors happen. He hires the GWDT as his assistant. I dont think they give you enough clues to solve the mystery yourself. I just kicked back and was entertained watching the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo kick ass.

In the original movie I have dinner once a month at "Blomqvists" favorite restaurant, one of the better Italian places here in the southern part of town. 
I also work on the same street where "Millennium" is located.

If the movie is well written and plot driven it will likely bomb in america.

I just finished reading the book yesterday actually, it was far from boring.
Maybe something got lost in translation!
Looking forward to seeing the original film now, then maybe we'll give the ameritardized version a go.
