The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I thought it was very good. I have read the books and knew the story. The screenplay writer picked the high points from the novel and wove them into the movie so that if there are sequels, the threads to Elisabet's back story were introduced in the movie.
I went to the movies to see it also, CWS. I have not read the book. While I thought the story and the acting were excellent, the two rape scenes disturbed me to the point of physical and emotional nausea, like nothing I've ever seen before, and I don't shock all that easily.
If anyone has the slightest thought of seeing this movie with a youngster thinking the R rating is tame.....think again. The scenes could have been dealt with effectively in a more creative and less graphic way. It really makes me wonder why these film makers can't be more creative and less gross. Grrrr....
I had hoped that the rape scene and the scene where she gets her revenge, would be omitted. I found the graphic description of it in the book more disturbing. However, to fill in the back story should the other two books be made into English movies, the guardian had to be included and his role in the whole plot as to why she was institutionalized and how this was acccomplished.The scenes were equally disturbing in the book, Kayelle. One reason I do not want to see the movie.

Absolutely integral to the stories...but not something I need to watch on a screen.
how do you portray deeply disturbing rape events in a film without graphics? now that you have this deeply disturbing concept in your mind, how would you realistically convey it in a movie? it cannot be done tastefully and effectively at the same time, imo....
Watched, "The King's Speech" last night, it was absolutely excellent.
I am a history buff and knew about the speech impediment. He worked so hard to overcome it. You have to admire someone like that. I love Colin firth.
