And I'm not sure why. I've refused to watch the redone version as I tend to find a lot of "uniqueness" of the show is the actors and original language that it's in. It's along the same avenue of how I feel about Steig Larsson's Girl With the Dragon Tattoo et al. original Swedish versions vs. the soon-to-be released American version (which apparently will have a different ending  )
So how do you feel about it? Good? bad? Ugly? |
I loved the three Larsson films and want to read the books. In all honesty I have no desire to see American versions. My first thought was that the American versions will probably first take out all the lesbian sex, they will remove the scene where she rapes the man but I bet they will leave in the scene where she is raped, and I bet they make her feminine. What I loved about these films was that she was never a victim. She fought back just as hard if not harder, never felt sorry for herself, made mistakes, learned from her mistakes and never backed down. The best scene was in the third film when she sat through the trial in full punk gear. I don't expect the American film to keep that scene either.
