The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

david fincher is one of the few people who could get away with remaking an already excellent film and come out looking good. there's so much similar and yet so much different about the two versions of this. i'm sad they're not going to complete the trilogy. at least, that's what it looks like to me. that said, i haven't completed the trilogy in it's original language yet so i can't complain. fincher is a steady hand on the camera. you know where everyone and everything is. there's no confusion except when the character is confused. you follow the journey with them. over 2 hours long but the... read more

man, i really wanted to hate the idea of this when it was first announced. like many people, i think hollywood's almost sociopathic need to remake anything and everything is a very bad thing indeed, and i especially hate when they remake a recent foreign film rather than take the chance of spending money on distributing the original because american hates subtitles. and when a remake to 2009's swedish film was announced, i was not particularly pleased. then david fincher was reported to be directing it, and i was kind of annoyed that i couldn't hate it automatically. fincher has done great... read more

rooney mara my goodness wow. one of my favorite performances ever. the way the story unravels after a mundane first 30 mins (imo) is so brilliantly executed. the ending left me upset, and even more upset seeing what the sequel was (🤮), but i loved this so much. the torture scene is so fucking uncomfortable it's captivating. fincher put us in a plastic bag. all in all how fincher did this is unreal. they really should have given him the trilogy :((( read more

卧槽，鲁妮·玛拉简直太帅了。果然大卫·芬奇就是保障，不论是视觉上的享受还是剧情上的刺激都足够让人沉迷进去。另外电影的片头酷的有点过分吧。 read more
