The Dragon Tatoo

The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo was great because Lisbeth is so inspiring by the way she prevails the people around her. I chose this movie because I’ve heard of it before and it has always caught my eye. I couldn’t believe how dark some of the things I read and watched were, it was almost too difficult for me to watch but something about it kept pulling me in, it was thrilling. The way it’s wildly suspenseful and ingeniously plotted makes it one of my favorites. When Lisbeth Salander loses her old guardian things become very decisive for her and she makes some decisions that show her intelligence and capability. This new guardian of hers tries to take advantage of her by threatening to give out false information to the police as her legal

The reason being, Lisbeth is an off the books reporter for Milton Security and created a report on the case regarding Wennerström accusing Mikael Blomkvist of fraud and has been keeping a close eye on both of them. Mikael’s character is mellow and matured considering he is much older than Lisbeth so they carry a variant relationship throughout the movie. When Mikael receives an anonymous email from someone by the name of “Wasp” showing undoubted information on the desertion of Harriet Vanger he realizes he is being hacked and Herr Frode secretary of Henrik Vanger otherwise known as Harriet’s Uncle, who hired Mikael Blomkvist to solve this mystery, tells him he has a good idea of who it is. Mikael tracks down Lisbeth and asks for her help. Offering a good pay, Lisbeth agrees to move in with Mikael in one of Henrik Vangers guest houses on Hedestad Island where Henrik Vanger lives. As soon as they start digging they find a lead with a picture taken the day Harriet went missing. It’s her at a parade about 2 hours before she went missing. It is in fact blurry but you can tell Harriet is looking at someone or something. In the corner of the picture Mikael notices a man with a camera facing towards Harriet and whatever she is looking at. Unfortunately, the man with the camera died but they receive some pictures from his wife from that day and they find the man who Harriet saw and got

Later the next day, while walking up the driveway to Henrik Vanger’s house to fill him in on where they are in Harriet’s case an ambulance speeds out of the driveway right past Mikael. He runs up and sees Frode standing outside of the front door in grief. “What’s going on?!” says Mikael, Frode putting his arms up says,” It’s Henrik he just collapsed”. Later that night at the hospital the doctor comes out and explains to Frode that Henrik had a heart attack and will need emergency surgery. I thought that when this scene occurred Mikael and Frode did a very good job showing their emotion towards Henrik and that it was a big deal that Henrik had a heart attack. After three days in the hospital Henrik gets released from the hospital and schedules a meeting with the Vanger family at his home and invites Mikael because everyone in the family is considered a suspect in the killing of Harriet. At this meeting most of the family tries to convince Mikael it’s not a good idea to continue the hunt for Harriet but Mikael tells them he signed a contract with Henrik that as long as Henrik is alive he will continue the investigation. As Mikael and Lisbeth continue their search for the girl that fell off the face of the earth they experience dangerously exciting clues and leads to figure out who this “Mystery
