It's always interesting to me to see how the movie people translate a book to the screen.

I definitely agree that the rape scene is graphic and hard to see. I'm always frustrated when they take drastic liberties with the plot for a movie, but at the same time I've grown to expect it. I did love the casting for Lisbeth and Mikael. I think she would be particularly hard to cast and they did a great job. I'll definitely see the next one if it comes out in a theater anywhere near me.Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-70884137081314076432010-05-11T01:26:16.640-04:002010-05-11T01:26:16.640-04:00Glad you enjoyed it San.

Even though I was a little flummoxed when they didn't show him having an affair with one of the Varners, I think then they would have had to add many more scenes to show how that complicated matters. As for the secret from Lisbeth's past, I thought it probably would still be a secret if you hadn't read the books and didn't know what was going on. They never really said who it was or any of that.rhapsodyinbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07041412748239010264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-66897259841760436362010-05-10T13:22:34.753-04:002010-05-10T13:22:34.753-04:00That is crazy...only 1 week showing.

It is nice to hear that they didn't smooth over some of those rough scenes - I felt they were the most interesting parts of the book. I hate it when movies gloss over things to try to make it appropriate for a larger audience. I am glad that the 2 main characters were cast well. It seems the casting of the Lisbeth role would make or break the movie. Fun that you were able to see it with your friend - sounds like a great girls night out.The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-36595135317181526572010-05-10T11:36:30.074-04:002010-05-10T11:36:30.074-04:00This hasn't reached us yeat and I hope it does...This hasn't reached us yeat and I hope it does.
