Chapter 380

"The girl with Dragon Tattoo" is based on the first part of the Swedish best-selling novel "Millennium" trilogy. It tells the story of a righteous journalist Mikel and a young female hacker Lisbeth saland involved in a homicide investigation that took place more than ten years ago.

In the original novel, Stieg Larsson intersperses many Satires and metaphors in the text, revealing the social problems in Sweden and the dark side of the country's history, society and gender politics.

There is no doubt that the heroine sarand is a very special role. She is the girl with the Dragon Tattoo in the title. The title of the original book is "men who hate women". Steger points out that violence against women is a common phenomenon in Sweden, but it has never been realized. So he created saland.

She is not only full of personality, but also has experienced ups and downs. She exudes cold, gloomy and sharp dark temperament all over her body. In the face of oppression, bullying and even rape, she has not been knocked down. Instead, she stands up indomitably and achieves rebirth in her own way. She's not a victim. She's never been.

As a mystery novel, "the girl with Dragon Tattoo" is so popular that Lisbeth saland is undoubtedly the core soul.

In 2009, it was remade in Sweden and became the highest box office and the most successful local film ever made in northern Europe. It won the eight week championship in Sweden, breaking the longest record of the champion in Swedish film history week and Surpassing "Transformers 2", Become the champion of the year in Denmark and Sweden.

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

Besides saland, the hero Mikel is another core of the novel. Mikel can be said to be the incarnation of Stig.

In real life, Steger is a writer and journalist. He used to work for the Swedish Central News Agency, and devoted himself to anti - communism activities after work. Because of his long-term commitment to expose the illegal actions of the far right organizations in Sweden, he has been subjected to death threats and threats to varying degrees for many years.

In the original novel, Mikel actively defends social justice, does not pursue personal fame and wealth, and his private life is also facing problems. However, at the critical moment of justice implementation, he has never been soft handed, which can be said to concentrate all of Steger's dreams and persistence.

Steger began to write the "Millennium" series of novels in 2001 and finished it in 2004. Unfortunately, he died of a heart attack in November of the same year. He didn't have time to see the publication of his series of novels and the reading frenzy in Europe.

The Swedish version of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo" has achieved great success even in the world. The box office of 83 million US dollars is nothing in Hollywood, but it has broken countless records in Europe and attracted the attention of all parties. Naturally, the United States has also put the adaptation on the agenda.

In the last life, the American version of "the girl with Dragon Tattoos" was absolutely in the spotlight. From the beginning of the preparatory stage, countless topics gathered. Finally, David finch took the lead, the male lead was played by the new 007 Daniel Craig, and the female lead was played by Rooney Mara.

Under the extremely high expectations, "Dragon Tattoo Girl" has not been able to reach the height of "social network". The media's comprehensive evaluation of 71 points can only be regarded as standard. At the Oscar, she only received nominations for best actress, best film editing and three other technical awards.

There is no doubt that David is a very good director. David finch's sharp and sharp style has always given the film a powerful force, even darker, colder and more northern European than the Swedish version. However, David's weakness is also very obvious. He lacks enough control and mining in the shaping of the role. This is true of "social network" and "girl with Dragon Tattoo".

David's version of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", as the core idea of feminism theme, has been greatly weakened, increasing the atmosphere of suspense and horror. The overall style still continues his usual bright, but lacks the shock and depth of the original version.

In fact, the script written by Steven Zailian gives more room for the two characters, aiming to enrich the characters and deepen the image of the characters. This gold medalist screenwriter who once wrote "Schindler's list" and "New York gangster" has a good writing ability, but unfortunately, Daniel's performance is too stereotyped, The rigid texture can not give the character more depth, while Rooney's performance is a little too strong, but not enough delicate.

In contrast, the original version continues the consistent style of European actors, more delicate, more full, in terms of acting skills and roles; David's version is more stylized and biting, but the role is weaker, and the theme deviates from the original idea. On the whole, the two versions are different, but the original version is slightly better than the half chip.

This is not only the idea of Langley, but also the opinion of film critics. The Swedish version scored 79 points, higher than the American version.

As Andy said, in fact, Mikel is a character worth exploring. What he reflects is the idealism and realistic struggle of Stieg, the author of the original work.

Steger clearly knows how difficult and dangerous it is to overcome many difficulties and promote social change in contemporary society; Stieg also clearly knows that his life is in danger repeatedly because of his strength alone and how weak he is under the pressure of the social machine.

Therefore, Steger gives Mikel absolute unshakable perseverance and determination, and at the same time gives Mikel inner pain and struggle, just like Batman in "Batman: Dark Knight" - Dark Knight, in order to achieve justice, has to carry the dark, struggling forward. This is an epic hero like the tragedy of ancient Greece.

In "the girl with the Dragon Tattoo" - to be exact, in the "Millennium" series, Mikel is the main character, but her style is robbed by Lisbeth.

On the one hand, Lisbeth has gathered the most painful, dramatic and violent tragedies. In the first film, she is raped, which gives the actors more space to perform; On the other hand, Steger puts himself in the position of assistant. He is the one who solves the clue, while Lisbeth is the one who rushes to the front line.

So it's not easy for Mikel to be brilliant.

But in lanli's view, this is a role with countless possibilities and great potential. In David's version of "the girl with Dragon Tattoo", Steven gives Mikel more pen and ink, trying to show Mikel's struggle and pain, which is worth exploring.

Langley carefully recalled the memories in his mind, but found that whether it is the Swedish version or the American version, his image of Mikel has been blurred, but he has a very deep impression on the image of Lisbeth, such as noomi rapace and Rooney Mara.

Langley thinks it's a very interesting thing. He's not sure he can remember more about Mikel's performance, and he's not sure whether he can dig out the depth of Mikel's role, but he admits that it's a very strange role.

More importantly, since Mikel reflects Stig's self, Stig has made a lot of personal settings in terms of age and experience. At the time of writing the novel, Steger himself was 46 years old. Naturally, Mikel's physical age is the same, and his psychological age will be older.

This is also the biggest obstacle for Langley to challenge Mikel - even if he is a man of two generations, it is still a problem.

"This movie is not for anyone who wants to be in, is it?" Lanli's response is also unusual. Andy's love for "the girl with Dragon Tattoo" is absolutely not groundless.

From the Swedish version, we can see that this film not only has a strong appeal at the box office, but also has the hope to achieve an outstanding box office performance of more than 100 million yuan in North America, just like David's other work "the wonder of Benjamin Button"; Moreover, it also has a deep potential in art, and is fully capable of rushing in the award season.

The original film has created such a big stir, so the remake version naturally attracts people's attention. Not to mention Andy, it is estimated that half of Hollywood will be a sensation.

Andy pauses and laughs in silence. Lanli's reaction is absolutely unexpected, but in a short conversation, lanli sees through the phenomenon and points to the essence. This wisdom is really admirable.

"So, have you seen the original movie?" This is Andy's only idea. Lanli shrugs noncommittally, and Andy doesn't continue to pursue it. Right when lanli has seen the original, it's better and easier to explain.

"Yes, now the project has attracted a lot of attention. Even Roger Ebert has expressed concern, not to mention the brokers. Sony Columbia Pictures is really a good deal." Andy nodded in affirmation, "Paramount was about to grab the copyright at the beginning. Unfortunately, his hesitation fell into the hands of others."

"However, most of the eyes are now focused on the heroine. As I said, although the film has two main characters, the weight is almost on the heroine. Relatively speaking, the attention of the hero is much lower." A little pause, Andy seems to think of something interesting, eyes full of laughter, and then, he said with interest, eyes with a trace of narrow.

"Now almost all the actresses of the right age are aiming at the role. So, if you can play smoothly, does that mean that you will enjoy some sex next. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. "
