Three Hundred and Seventy-Nine Strange Characters
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is based on the first part of the Swedish best-selling novel "Millennium" trilogy, about a righteous journalist Mikel and a young female hacker Lisbeth Saran De is involved in the investigation of an unsolved murder that took place more than a decade ago.
In the original novel, author stieg-larsson interspersed many satires and metaphors in the text, exposing the social problems existing in Sweden, and also exposing the dark side of the country's history, society and gender politics .
There is no doubt that the heroine Sarand is a very special character, she is the girl with the dragon tattoo in the title. The title of the original book is "Men Who Hate Women," and Steger points out that violence against women is a common phenomenon in Sweden, but it's never been recognized. So he created Salander.
She is not only full of personality, but also has experienced ups and downs. She exudes a cold, gloomy and sharp dark temperament from all over her body. When facing the desperate plight of oppression, bullying and even rape, she is not defeated, but indomitably stands up again. Reborn in its own way. She was not a victim, and never has been.
As a mystery novel, the reason why "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is so popular is that Lisbeth-Salander is undoubtedly the core soul.
This novel caused an uproar in northern Europe, with a wide range of influence, and even caused a series of social aftermath. In 2009, it was remade into a movie by Sweden, and it became the highest-grossing and most successful local movie in the Nordic region in history. He won the championship in Sweden for eight consecutive weeks, breaking the record for the longest weekly championship in Swedish film history, surpassing "Transformers 2" and becoming the annual champion of Denmark and Sweden.
Not only that, but the film also received blockbuster accolades at awards ceremonies in Sweden and Norway.
In addition to Salander, the hero Mikel is another core of the novel. Mikel can be said to be the incarnation of the original author Stig.
In real life, Stig is a writer and journalist who used to work for the Swedish Central News Agency and devoted himself to anti-fascist activities in his spare time. Due to his long-term commitment to exposing the wrongdoing of Swedish far-right organizations, he has been threatened and threatened with death to varying degrees over the years.
Mikel in the original novel actively defends social justice and does not pursue personal fame and fortune. His private life is also facing troubles, but at the critical moment of executing justice, he has never softened. It can be said that he concentrated all of Stig's Dream and persevere.
Stig 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. The reading frenzy set off in Europe is embarrassing.
The Swedish version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was a huge success even on a global scale. The $83 million box office was nothing in Hollywood, but it broke countless records in Europe, sparking various Fang's attention. Naturally, the United States has also put adaptation matters on the agenda.
In the last life, the American version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" was definitely under the spotlight. From the beginning of the preparatory stage, countless topics were gathered. In the end, David Fincher was in charge of the director, and the actor was the new 007 Daniel Cray. Daniel-craig played the role, while Rooney Mara was the heroine.
Under the high expectations, the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" has not been able to reach the height of "social network". The media comprehensively rated 71 points, which can only be regarded as quite satisfactory. In the Oscars, it was only the best. Actress, Best Film Editing, and three other nominations for technical awards.
There is no doubt that David is a very good director, and the David Fincher-esque sternness and neatness throughout, give the film a powerful force, even darker, cooler, and more Nordic than the Swedish version. . However, David's shortcomings are also very obvious.
He lacks sufficient control and excavation in the shaping of the character, as is the case with "The Social Network", as is the case with "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".
In David's version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", the feminist theme as the core idea has been greatly weakened, adding a suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere. The overall style still continues his usual distinctiveness, but it lacks the shock and depth of the original version.
In fact, the script written by steven-zailian gave the two characters more room to play, aiming to enrich the characters and deepen their images, who once wrote "Schindler's List", The gold medal screenwriter of "Gangs of New York" has a really good pen, but unfortunately, Daniel's performance is too stereotyped, and the rigid texture fails to give the character more depth, while Rooney's performance is a little too powerful , but not enough detail.
In comparison, the original version continues the consistent style of European actors, which is more delicate and fuller, and wins in terms of acting skills and roles; while the David version is more stylized, harsher, and the characters are weaker, and the theme is also the same as the original idea. bias. Overall, the two versions are on par, however, the original is slightly better.
It wasn't just Renly's idea, but the critics were consistent too - the Swedish version scored 79 out of 10, higher than the American version.
As Andy said, Mikel is actually a character worth exploring slowly. What he reflects is the idealism and realistic struggle of the original author Stig.
Stig clearly knows how difficult and dangerous it is to overcome many difficulties and promote social change in contemporary society; How weak under the pressure of the machine, his life was repeatedly in danger.
Therefore, Stig gave Mikel absolutely unshakable perseverance and determination, and at the same time endowed Mikel with inner pain and struggle, just like Batman in "Batman: The Dark Knight" - The Dark Knight , In order to achieve justice, he had to bear the darkness and move forward with difficulty. This is an epic hero like the tragedy of ancient Greece.
In "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" - to be precise, in the "Millennium" series, although Mikel is the protagonist, Lisbeth takes away her style.
On the one hand, it is because Lisbeth has the most painful, dramatic and intense tragedies. She was raped in the first part, which gave the actors more room for performance; on the other hand, it was because Stig Putting himself in the auxiliary position, he is the one who solves the clues, and Lisbeth is the one who rushes to the front line.
Therefore, it is really not easy for Mikel to be outstanding.
But in Renly's view, this is a character with countless possibilities and enormous potential. In David's version of the "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" script, Steven gave Mikel more pen and ink, focusing on showing Mikel's struggle and pain, which is worth exploring.
Renly carefully recalled the memories in his mind, but found that whether it was the Swedish version or the American version, his image of Mikel was already blurred, but he had an extremely deep impression on Lisbeth's image——Lao It's the same with M-Rapace noomi-rapace and Rooney-Mara.
Renly thought it was a lot of fun, he wasn't sure he could remember more of Mikel's acting information, and he wasn't sure if he would be able to dig out the depth of Mikel's character, but, he admitted, it was A very strange character.
More importantly, since Mikel is refracting Stig's self, Stig has made a lot of personal settings in terms of age and experience. Stig himself was forty-six at the time of writing the novel. Naturally, the same is true of Mikel's biological age, and his mental age will be even older.
This is also the biggest obstacle for Renly to challenge Mikel - even if he is two generations, it is still a problem.
"Anyone who wants to participate in this movie can participate in it, right?" Renly's response was not unusual. Andy's interest in "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is definitely not groundless.
As can be seen from the Swedish version, this film not only has a strong appeal in terms of box office, but also has the hope that like another work directed by David, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", it will achieve an excellent box office of over 100 million yuan in North America. achievements; but also has deep potential in the arts, fully equipped to go on a rampage during awards season.
The original movie made such a big noise, and the remake version is naturally attracting attention, not to mention Andy, it is estimated that half of Hollywood has become a sensation.
Andy paused for a while, then he laughed dumbly. Renly's reaction was definitely something he didn't expect, but in just a short conversation, Renly saw through the phenomenon and pointed to the essence. This wisdom is really admirable. .
"So, you've seen the original movie?" This was Andy's only thought. Renly shrugged noncommittally, and Andy didn't pursue it any further. Right when Renly had already seen the original, it would be better. However, it's easier to explain.
"Yes, this project is now attracting a lot of attention. Even Roger Ebert has expressed concern, not to mention the agents. The deal for Sony Columbia Pictures is really good." Andy nodded. Expressed his affirmation, "Paramount almost grabbed the copyright at the beginning, but unfortunately, the momentary hesitation fell into the hands of others."
"However, most of the eyes are now on the heroine. As I said, although this movie has two protagonists, the weight is almost on the heroine. Relatively speaking, the attention of the male protagonist is only Much lower." After a short pause, Andy seemed to remember something interesting, the smile in his eyes overflowed, and then he said with interest, with a hint of narrowness in his eyes.
"Now almost all the actresses of the right age are aiming for this role. So, if you can play it smoothly, does it mean that you will also enjoy a lot of love in the future. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." ()
