Speaking of Swedish, I finally watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The American version.
It was really entertaining. It held my interest. The relationships were done well. The acting was awesome.
I enjoyed it more than the book. The sexual violence Lisbeth experiences was not as sickening as everyone told me it would be. Guess I've read and seen too much porn. :-\

I had heard it was a violent movie, perhaps with everyone discussing the voilence, it made it into something it wasn't.

I took my teenage sons to see it on Christmas afternoon (our annual tradition is to go see a movie). We had planned to see Sherlock Holmes, but I got the times wrong and we wound up instead at TGWTDT, which one of my sons preferred to see anyway. Around the point of the second rape, my other son turned to me and said "Nice Christmas movie, Mom." I apologized. It's not a nice Christmas movie. It is, however, a pretty good movie, and while I had steeled myself for the violence, it's actually not as bad as what I had feared.
