This winter break was one of the best I’ve had in a while. The highlight of my holiday break was definitely seeing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (twice) and the memories that came along with it. I went to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with Emily Cole and Al Farrel for the first time and it was one of the funniest nights I’ve had in a while. The day before, Al was over until 4 (cuatro) am watching movies and we decided to go see the movie together the next day. Well, we did, and it was incredible.
The movie took drama to thriller and thriller to a masterpiece. Rooney Mara took on the her character, Lisbeth, and made her believable. The movie looked sketchy and really dark, and it was, but it was brilliant. The story of Lisbeth and everything she had to go through was borderline life changing. Yes, there was a rape scene and many nudity scenes but it made the movie into what it was. Mara found out before she chose to take on the part that she would have to be naked in front of Daniel Craig and she didn’t even flinch. She knew she wanted to do it and nothing was going to stop her. Lisbeth and Mikael had an unheard of relationship. There was so much emotional damage wafting through the movie that when the two leads got together you couldn’t help but want a marriage, children, and grandchildren (or at least I did). Taking into account that the ending wasn’t what I wanted, I understand that it will continue. The filming was beautiful; the setting was perfect for the tone of the movie. I would recommend the movie to anyone.
Emily, Al, and I had a wonderful time that night. And I saw it again a few days later.
