Based on the first installment of the Swedish best-selling novel "Millennium" trilogy, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" follows Mikel, a journalist with a sense of justice, and Lisbeth Salander, a young hackerwoman, who are embroiled in an investigation into a murder that took place more than a decade ago.

In the original novel, author Stieg-Larsson intersperses the text with many ironies and metaphors, exposing the social problems of Sweden and the dark side of the country's history, society, and gender politics/governance.

Needless to say, the heroine Salander is a very special character, she is the girl with the dragon tattoo referred to in the title. The title of the book is "The Man Who Hates Women", and Stig points out that violence against women is a common phenomenon in Sweden but is never recognized. So, he created Salander.

She is not only full of personality, but also experienced ups and downs, exuding a cold, gloomy and sharp dark temperament from top to bottom, and in the face of the desperate dilemma of oppression, bullying and even rape, she was not defeated, but reunited to stand up and achieve rebirth in her own way. She wasn't a victim, never was.

As a mystery novel, the reason why "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is so popular is that Lisbeth-Salander is undoubtedly the core soul.

In 2009, it was remade into a film by Sweden and became the highest-grossing and most successful local film in the Nordic region in history, winning the Swedish championship for eight consecutive weeks, breaking the record for the longest weekly champion in Swedish film history, surpassing "Transformers 2" and becoming the annual champion of Denmark and Sweden.

Not only that, but the film also received blockbuster praise at awards ceremonies in Sweden and Norway.

In addition to Salander, the male protagonist Mikel is another core of the novel. Mikel can be said to be the embodiment of the original author, Steg.

In real life, Stig is a writer and journalist who worked for Sweden's Central News Agency and has been involved in anti-Fascand/Slovakian activism outside of work. Because of his long-term commitment to exposing the illegal actions of Sweden's far-right organizations, he has been subjected to various degrees of death threats and threats over the years.

In the original novel, Mikel actively defends social justice and does not pursue personal fame and fortune, and his private life is also facing troubles, but at the critical moment of implementing justice, he has never relented, which can be said to concentrate all Steger's dreams and persistence.

Steig began writing the "Millennium" series of novels in 2001 and completed them in 2004, but unfortunately died of a heart attack in November of the same year.

The Swedish version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was a huge success even on a global scale, with $83 million at the box office in Hollywood, but it was a record-breaking achievement in Europe that attracted attention from all sides. Naturally, the United States has also put the adaptation on the agenda.

In the last life, the American version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" definitely stood in the spotlight, gathering countless topics from the beginning of the preparatory stage, and finally David Fincher was at the helm, the male lead was played by the new 007 Daniel Craig, and the female lead was Rooney Mara.

Under the super high expectations, the "girl with the dragon tattoo" has not been able to reach the height of "social networks", and the media has a comprehensive score of 71 points, which can only be regarded as decent, and at the Oscars, it only received nominations for Best Actress, Best Film Editing and three other technical awards.

Needless to say, David is a very good director, and the David Fincher-esque crispness and cleanliness throughout, giving the film a powerful force, even darker, colder, and more Nordic than the Swedish version. However, David's shortcomings are also very obvious, he lacks enough control and excavation of the character, such as "social networks" and "girl with dragon tattoos".

David's version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", as the core idea of the feminist theme, has been greatly weakened, adding suspense and thriller atmosphere, and the overall style still continues his usual distinctiveness, but lacks the shock and depth of the original.

In fact, the script written by Steven-Zailian (Steven-Zailian) gives more room for the two characters to play, aiming to enrich the characters and deepen the characters, the gold medal screenwriter who once wrote "Schindler's List" and "Gangs of New York", the pen is really good, but unfortunately, Daniel's performance is too patterned, and the stiff and rigid texture does not give the characters more depth, while Rooney's performance is slightly too powerful, but not delicate enough.

In contrast, the original version continues the usual style of European actors, more delicate, fuller, and wins in terms of acting and characters, while the David version is more stylized and cold, the characters are weaker, and the theme deviates from the idea of the original book. Overall, the two versions are evenly matched, but the original is slightly better.

It's not just Lan Li's idea, but critics are also consistent in their opinion - the Swedish version has a 79 score of 79, which is higher than the American version.

As Andy said, in fact, Mikel is a character worth digging slowly, and what he reflects is the idealism and realistic struggles of the original author Stiger.

Steig is well aware of how difficult and dangerous it is to overcome all the difficulties and promote social change in contemporary society, and Steig is also well aware of how weak his life is under the pressure of the social machine by his own strength.

Therefore, Steig endowed Mikel with absolute unwavering perseverance and decisiveness, and at the same time endowed Mikel with inner pain and struggle, just like Batman in "Batman: The Dark Knight" - the Dark Knight, in order to achieve justice, had to carry the darkness and move forward with difficulty. This is an epic hero like an ancient Greek tragedy.

In "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" - to be precise, in the "Millennium" series, Mikel is the main character, but her style is stolen by Lisbeth.

On the one hand, it is because Lisbeth has gathered the most painful, dramatic, and intense tragedies, and she was raped/raped in the first part, which gives the actor more room to perform, and on the other hand, because Steig puts himself in an auxiliary position, he is the one who solves the clues, and Lisbeth is the one who rushes to the front line.

Therefore, it is indeed not easy for Mikel to shine.

But in Lan Li's view, this is a character with countless possibilities and great potential. In David's version of the script "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", Steven gives Mikel more ink and focuses on showing Mikel's struggle and pain, which is worth excavating.

Lan Li carefully recalled the memories in his mind, but found that whether it was the Swedish version or the American version, his image of Mikel had been blurred, but he had a very deep impression of the image of Lisbeth - Noomi-Rapace (Noomi-Rapace) and Rooney Mara.

Lan Li thought it was funny, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to remember more about Mikel's performance, or if he would be able to dig into Mikel's character depth, but he admitted that it was a very peculiar character.

What's more, because Mikel reflects Steg's self, Steig has made a lot of personal settings in terms of age and experience. At the time of writing the novel, Steig himself was forty-six years old. Naturally, Mikel's biological age is the same, and his mental age will be a little older.

This is also the biggest obstacle for Lan Li to challenge Mikel - even if he is a human being in two lives, it is still a problem.

"This movie is not something that anyone who wants to participate in can participate, right?" Lan Li's response was not unusual, Andy fell in love with the work "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", which is definitely not groundless.

As can be seen from the Swedish version, the film not only has a strong appeal at the box office, and even has the hope of achieving an outstanding box office result of more than 100 million in North America like another work directed by David, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", but also has deep potential in terms of art, and is fully capable of rampage during the awards season.

The original movie created such a big movement, and the remake version is naturally highly anticipated, not to mention Andy, it is estimated that half of Hollywood is a sensation.

Andy paused and smiled dumbly, Lan Li's reaction was definitely something he didn't expect, but in a short conversation, Lan Li saw through the phenomenon and pointed to the essence, this wisdom is really admirable.

"So, have you seen the original movie?" this is Andy's only thought, Lan Li shrugged his shoulders noncommittally, Andy did not continue to pursue it, when Lan Li had already seen the original, so it couldn't be better, and it was much easier to explain.

"Yes, the project is in the spotlight right now, and even Roger Ebert has expressed his concern, not to mention the agents, and Sony Columbia Pictures is a great deal. Andy nodded in affirmation, "Paramount was almost about to grab the copyright, but unfortunately, after a moment of hesitation, it fell into the hands of others." ”

"However, most of the eyes are now focused on the heroine, and as I said, although this movie has two protagonists, the weight is almost all on the heroine, and relatively speaking, the attention of the male protagonist is much lower. After a slight pause, Andy seemed to remember something interesting, and a smile overflowed in his eyes, and then, he said with interest, with a hint of narrowness in his eyes.

"Now almost all age-appropriate actresses are aiming for this role. So, if you can successfully star, does this mean that you will also enjoy a lot of glamour/happiness in the future? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
