Chinese dragon tattoo Whatever you choose, make sure it is done properly and in good taste. This is a taboo in Chinese culture to discredit the dragon. This is seen as very rude. In an effort to be faithful to the whole process, make sure that the tattoo artist has a very good knowledge on the subject. Chinese dragon is a symbol of power and strength. This is wrong and must be respected to hit soft.
Dragon tattoo are some of the most beautiful and graceful creatures of myth ever made. They are mysterious and interesting. These characteristics make them great for tattoos. Each Chinese dragon tattoo will become part of the conversation. If you do your research, you will be able to wow anyone with knowledge of the subject. They will be surprised with the amount of thought and preparation you put into the tattoo. This will be more than just a showpiece. This will be a statement about you and what you are.
I think there's an inherent problem with all films adapted from a book written by someone from another culture. To visually express the tonal qualities, nuances and spirit of another culture through film is extremely difficult. This is made all the more harder when you're trying to condense and stay true to a book that has a packed narrative - and enough plotlines to make a number of films - running to over 500 pages. I have no doubt that David Fincher - a Director I very much admire - will do a great job with the pulp aspect of the 'Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' and its partner books in the trilogy. However, underneath the surface of the books lie important questions about Swedish society. These ugly truths, the sub text, are far more difficult to thread into the film - as they need to be given space to breathe and tell their own story - and are best approached through tone, rhythm, colour, atmosphere and a Swedish cultural sensibility. It is this aspect of the film that I fear will be lost in translation. So America taking on plot and character, yes definitely, dealing with the dark undercurrent that runs throughout the book and the rest of the trilogy, namely the societal issues that preoccupy many Swedish crime writers including; Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser, Mari Jungstedt and of course Stieg Larsson, I don't think so.
Now let's talk about the film itself. It is not a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination but it's a good thriller, its star definitely Noomi Rapace - an incredible performance - as the androgynous, bisexual, computer-hacking twenty-something, Lisbeth Salander. She is a cool chick and uber - nerd, the perfect anti - heroine for the 21st century. She's odd, disturbed, intelligent, highly moral (in her own way), utterly uncompromising, violent, full of righteous anger and dispassionate - a fascinating character and wholly engaging. To be honest I can't see anyone matching her. She's going to be a real hard act to follow. Apparently she got the part after the producer saw her in a Sarah Kane play in Stockholm. If you know the work of Sarah Kane then it might give you some idea of the difficulty and depth of character one would need to have to play the part convincingly.
The other lead character, Mikael Blomkvist played by Mchael Nyqvist, plays his part well as the investigative journalist, the locations are beautiful and bleak, the Director, Niels Arden Opley does a good job of keeping the various plot threads (and there are many) together and the cinematography has a consistent wintery and atmospheric feeling to it.
