“may i kill him”?
——yes
"This is the gentlest confession I can give you"
In Europe, there is a novel that has sold 65 million copies worldwide, called "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
As the first novel in the Millennium series, it is not only the most high-profile work among them
It has also been successfully filmed, and there are two film works with good reputation
Today's talk is directed by David Lynch in 2011 and starring Daniel Craig/Rooney Mara
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Our heroine, this girl with the dragon tattoo
Almost all young people have been labeled as cool - neutral appearance, double X love, hate parents, tattoos, pale, thin, look weak, in fact, strong attack, solitude, high-tech brains, fragile, cold, silent melancholy, neurotic, have a sense of justice but hate society.
She is always dressed in black leather, rides a black retro motorcycle, and has extraordinary skills
She is almost an indestructible girl, and when facing the strange uncle, she can also carry out counter-killing with ease
His name was Salander, and by chance she became a partner with her former respondents.
He was a middle-aged journalist named Mikel
The two worked together on a case of a missing girl and launched an investigation
Sarander also developed "special" feelings for Mikel during the investigation
But this is not essentially a romance film, but an extremely complex, dark, and gloomy film
When we watch the movie, we can clearly feel the sense of justice in the bones of Mikel, a middle-aged journalist, an innate sensitivity, and the curiosity behind the indifferent personality
Yes, Mikel is indeed a reflection of the self-image of the novel's original author, Stiger Lachsson
I remember the author saying that when he was 15 years old, he witnessed a girl being violated and has since been deeply disgusted by violence and abuse of women. It is said that Steger Lachsson could never forgive himself (for not helping the girl), and his novels were heavily influenced by this experience. His wife had called him a feminist.
Then the character of Sarander was born later, which was even more logical.
In fact, I got the inspiration for the idea from Pippi Longstocking. I wonder, what will she look like today? What will she look like when she grows up? What would people call her? Sociopaths? Problem kids? She doesn't think much of this society (or rather, unlike everyone else, she's not optimistic about it.) I incorporated her into the character of Liz Sarander, 25 years old and socially out of place. She didn't know anyone and didn't have any social skills. —Steger Lachson
This is actually a film that excavates the darkest side of human nature
The repression caused by the incest of the rich and nobles also shows the humanity and animal nature of ordinary people
For a person who has experienced a complex experience, this may be a simple reasoning story, but for a person who is not deeply involved in the world and is full of fantasies, the obscurity and distortion of this movie may be unimaginable
Just as Ang Lee's "Color Ring" tells more than just a spy and counter-espionage story, this "Girl with a Dragon Tattoo" is not a simple suspense reasoning film, the mixture of human nature and various desires and the differences in the era and society in which it is located are all a point of view that transcends the film itself
If you like the irrational story of a complex relationship that is unclear or created by some kind of desire or some shadow of desire beneath that complex relationship, then this movie is your cup of tea.
And if you're just looking for a commercial blockbuster entertainment to relax yourself
Then this movie may make you feel depressed and headache.
Twists and turns of the story, in this film theme full of the dark side of human nature, as if any extravagant expectation of feelings is a childish fantasy.
But the charm of this movie lies in a world that is obviously so bad
We still see the sincerity and love of the world in a trance
Why would Salander have a special affection for a middle-aged journalist like Mikel?
Probably because on the day of the meeting, Mikel bought her a breakfast to start
Salander suffers from Asperger syndrome (AS)
As the original author of the novel put it: "She doesn't know anyone and doesn't have any social skills"
It is a type of ASD disorder characterized by social difficulties, accompanied by narrow interests and repetitive specific behaviors, but relatively retains language and cognitive development compared to other ASD disorders.
Salander treats people coldly.
Having been abused by X, Salander is actually very confused about X, so she can just let a girl in the bar go home for the night
But Mikel seemed to be different from them, he respected her, treated her as equal and gentle, brought her breakfast, and even made her coffee.
Although these behaviors were most common for Meeker and us, to Salander, this man seemed to be different from those men, so she chose to communicate with Himker in the way she thought Mikel would like and desire
Then there's the scene we see:
She walked procedurally around the room, turned off all the lights, and walked coldly to Mikel's bed.
The next morning, she simply said: I like working with you. Without any emotional overtones.
This is actually a way for her to establish emotions with others, this is her way of expressing love, she, who usually drinks Coke and eats fast food, actually made a breakfast for Mikel, and the camera here is full of emotions in my eyes, love is not to cater to you and do this change, but, in the process of making this change, the heart is overflowing with happiness, it is the happiness that is done for each other.
But did she really love him?
Suffering from Asperger's syndrome, she didn't know how to make any emotional connection with people, and her past was destined to make her choose to use this as her outlet.
She doesn't love him (at least not yet). She just trusted him, and the feeling of "trust" was very new to her. And she confused trust with love.
With a shallow smile on her face, she told her guardian grandfather, "I made a friend, the kind of friend you will approve of." ”
In the end, the bad guys are brought to justice, yes, a happy ending
Salander also thought that the relationship between her and Mikel would not be interrupted by the success of the case, and she silently won the enemy for Mikel and won back the honor.
On Christmas Day, she combed herself to meet Mikel, and when she went, she carefully selected a leather coat for him in the clothing store, and even attracted the admiration of the clerk: "You must be giving it to a very good friend."
For the first time, she also wrote cards for him like a little friend, like a girl
Like a normal girl with a spring in her arms, she was going to meet someone she liked
She rode the motorcycle she had always liked to ride, with joy in her heart, and came to the door of Mikel's house with her clothes, and under the dim and snowy lights, she stood downstairs alone, looking at the intimate actions of Mikel and her lover on the balcony, and threw her clothes into the garbage bin with her hands back, and rode away on the motorcycle
She still hadn't been able to have the love she longed for
Remember that When Sarander saved Mikel from the murderer at the moment of a thousand gunshots
The murderer fled in a hurry
Salander was still so calm
She only asked Mikel
After all, the story did not go into the cliché, and sure enough, in such a movie, the slightest trace of true feelings will be extravagant
But maybe it's all just the residual warmth of that gloomy morning, the cup of coffee you made for me
And all I get from you is a breakfast, a leather coat that has not been sent, a sentence that condenses all my tenderness
"May I kill him?"
