"The girl with the Dragon Tattoo." . Review

"I've been working for twenty years for someone to finally tell me: “We want such a tough category R, which you will only get!”David Fincher laughs. There is nothing terrible in the American version of the film adaptation of the surprisingly successful, incredibly brutal book by Stieg Larsson. The first part of the Millennium trilogy, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – already successfully filmed in Sweden by Niels Arden Oplev – should be as provocative as the source material. But here, as in the movie "Seven", one should expect that the implied will be no less impressive than the explicitly expressed. When Fincher got to work, he realized that not just "a great movie about serial killers, Nazis, hackers, information theft and organized crime" could come out, but also an explosive subtext: an exploration of the danger that lies beneath the outer layer of cultural Swedish society. "I doubt that Stieg Larsson composed his Nazis in the same way as they do in Hollywood! – says Fincher. - the film is not about that. It's more about the cultural heritage of denial."


In a world of Wikileaks, phone hackers and Fascist-inspired violence, the film seems frighteningly timely. Judging by the large excerpt we saw, Fincher did a great job with an amazing mix of a police detective and a crime thriller, getting a mature, exciting thriller at the exit. It is not often possible to find material as popular as it is challenging – which, it seems, appeals to the director of "Fight Club".


"I keep telling the studio, 'I know of only two books that I could use as a sample, you know, at the same time popular and repulsive,'" he laughs. – And both of them were like lightning caught in a bottle, compared to the film adaptations. Namely, “The Exorcist" and “The Silence of the Lambs”. And people talked about both of them like this... – he inhales sharply through his teeth, – “...Well, I don't know. I'm thrilled, but I don't know how it will suit you...” And then the movie came out, and it was all the same with him. We want to find a point where we can talk about something really, really sharply and harshly, just like in the source material, and at the same time we want it to be an exciting trip to the cinema for the viewer."


"She" is Lisbeth Salander, a cult heroine hired first to make inquiries about Blomkvist, and then to help him. After an exhausting casting, the role went to Rooney Mara, who starred in a cameo role in the "Social Network". Despite the successful performance in Fincher's film about Facebook, the girl still had to endure long auditions and screen tests to win against stellar competitors. Over lunch, "a year and a week" after the first audition, it turns out that she still enjoys the work and talent of the director who believed in her so much. "I'm ready for anything for him," she shares. And, in fact, she did so on the screen. The result could be a personal "Chinatown" for Fincher. mini katana anime
