THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO - REVIEW
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - Review
Sick, dark, twisted, violent, forbidden, brilliant!!
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo turns out to be something
quite unique. For all the thrills, shills, and disgust that tends to evoke
itself through this story, the film shines through as one of the best films for
the year.
Daniel Craig & Rooney Mara |
The film tends to deals with a lot of issues, which happen
in our everyday lives, yet we chose to ignore them or just sink ourselves in
whatever we doing that we could care less.
Rooney Mara, is truly the star of the film, with her
performance as Lisbeth Salander.
She is odd, weird, quiet, yet as this element of danger emit
off her with a ghostly aura.
Rarely have we seen a performance as powerful as this. She
even gives Heath Ledgers Joker a good run.
Lisbeth represents the true meaning of a feminist. As she is
a women that, gets things done, no matter what's the cost. She is as strong as
any male character in literature. In an age where, females have been
represented as either, business woman with a whole lot insecurities, or women
that all they good for is shopping, or girls that relies on vampire and her
wolf to save her, while not being able to chose which one she likes best...
Lisbeth comes through as a highly driven, motivated; women
that yearns for justice, and won't stop at anything to see it carried it.
However in all her hardness and strength, you still see the fragility in her,
as is in all of us.
Director David Fincher, managed to make a wonderful film,
that keeps you intrigued from beginning to end, and the film will play on your
mind long after you left the cinema.
You realize that there is a lot of pain and anguish in
Lisbeths past for making her the way she is, but she uses this pain to drive
her forward in what ever she does.
Rarely has there been such a wonderfully character driven
story, in an age where we want to see farcical love stories and over the top
action films. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo comes through as a film about heinous
crimes, that's seen through the eyes of a realist.
Just by the way, Daniel Craig has a wonderful performance in
this film, and he carries this film just as much as Rooney, but Rooney Mara
really does just overshadow everyone in this film. But, everybody is wonderful
in this film.
P.S do not take kids or people that are sensitive to
violence... The rape scene in this film really is quite graphic and very
disturbing.
Even though that scene is hard to watch, the entire movie is
quite brilliant, and we love it.
