The film is based on the Swedish novel by Stieg Larsson. Larsson’s themes of sexual violence were inspired by actual past experiences of witnessing a young girl being ganged raped at a very young age. These experiences directly influence characterisation of the protagonist Lisbeth.
The plot of this film is extremely intricate, and the subtitles mean that constant concentration is required in order to follow what is happening. Lisbeth’s character gives us small insights into her damaged past and present life. Including gang attacks and sexual harassment. Her main role in the film is to assist the journalist Mikael Blomkvist in his research of a missing girl, which leads them into a twisted world of serial killing.
With her exceptional hacking skills and implied photographic memory. Lisbeth was able to play a key role in uncovering the truth behind both the missing girl and the person who framed her friend Mikael.
This film is intriguing but heavy. If you are interested in movies that keep you constantly guessing and are tolerant to confronting themes then you may enjoy this movie. I would rate this 4 out 5.
