The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo (2009)


Gwang's rating : 8.7/10.0

Hi everyone,

How was your spring break? I hope you had a great time! Whenever I have a lot of time, I usually watch a series of movie, such as, the Lord of the ring, and Harry Potter. Since those movies are quite familiar to you guys, I am going to introduce some unique movie series called "The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo". You might have heard of this movie because the remake version came out in the last year in English version but the original version was made in Sweden and I think the original is better than the new one. So here it is, The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo!

The story line is quite simple. A financial journalist and a hacker gets hired by a person who is trying to find a girl that was missing for 40 years. The combination of the journalist and the hacker is quite a peice and those two faces some threats and obstacles given by the people who try to stop them from the investigation.

Though story line is simple, the character of the hacker makes the movie so special, she is described as an anti-social individual who is also illustrated as an ugly woman (but the actress was gorgeous so that the writer's intention wasn't portrayed well). The fight between the girl and the society becomes a big issue at the end.

So the big plot is about the finding the missing girl, but the real story is about how the girl with the dragon tattoo finally recognized as a normal person and stay away from many social injustices.

This movie have shown some good aspect of the media. This movie reminded me of the influence of the media to the public and how important it is for journalists to be honest and brave to scrutinize social injustice.

Overall, the movie creates some gloomy atmosphere, however, that atmosphere makes the movie to be more attractive.

One of the Must Have Watch movie!

Enjoy!

  4. I loved the books and I watched the Swedish version a few years ago and the English version over winter break. I remember liking them both but I enjoyed the Swedish one better as well. I'll have to see it again soon!
