The Swedish title of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Adeiny Hechavarria Rays Jersey , M盲n som hatar kvinnor, means 鈥淢en Who Hate Women鈥?and is much more accurately descriptive of the content both of the novel, by the late Stieg Larsson, and of the film, to which the eponymous dragon tattoo is adventitious at best. Indeed, the tattoo isn鈥檛 even mentioned in the film but is merely shown to us in lieu of her more salacious bits when Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) strips off for some aggressive sex with the hero, Mikael Blomqvist (Michael Nyqvist). The novel of nearly 600 pages is divided into four parts comprising 29 chapters, plus prologue and epilogue Authentic Wilson Ramos Jersey , and each part begins with an epigraph stating some little-known fact about sex-related crimes in Sweden 鈥?as, for example, that 鈥淭hirteen percent of the women in Sweden have been subjected to aggravated sexual assault outside of a sexual relationship.鈥?p>

These facts may be true, for all I know, and not invented like the rest of the story, but they are there to reinforce the impression created by the novel that what most people think of as the pacific and well-behaved social democracy of Sweden is actually a hotbed of perversion, violence, and criminality. The movie Authentic Wade Boggs Jersey , made by and for Swedes and in Swedish with English subtitles, works hard to create a similar impression. Interestingly, Hollywood loves to believe the same thing about America, even though the vogue for serial killers has waned a bit since its heyday in the 1990s when the success of The Silence of the Lambs produced a positive flood of them. Anyway, you鈥檇 think that a Swedish serial killer who is also a member of a wealthy and powerful family controlling a multinational corporation, a religious nut and a Nazi to boot, would be right up our alley.


In a way it is, too Authentic Trevor Plouffe Jersey , but the change of title is one indication that Mr. Larsson, together with Niels Arden Oplev, who directed the movie, and Nikolaj Arcel and Rasmus Heisterberg, who wrote the screenplay, were a little too political for American tastes. Not that we would have anything against that trifecta of evil, a religious Nazi serial killer who is also a corporate chieftain. Hollywood鈥檚 best and brightest probably wish they had thought of it themselves. I鈥檓 not sure they didn鈥檛. But somehow the idea of 鈥渕en who hate women鈥?is a turnoff to us. It will be interesting to see whether this voyeur鈥檚 field day, replete with images of murdered and tortured women Authentic Steven Souza Jersey , to which that title was formerly attached as its wholly inadequate excuse for being, is also at least a little bit un-American.


For Tattoo was last box office champion in Europe, but after three weeks on only 87 screens in America its domestic gross to date is only just over a million and a half dollars. That gives a pretty good per-screen average, but it is not exactly an example of box office muscle, even for a foreign language film. Ther not much to give us hope about American popular culture, but if this movie is the flop it so richly deserves to be, something to hold on to. At least Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel 鈥?gross to date $219,407 Authentic Sergio Romo Jersey ,028 鈥?is a symptom only of inanity and not of a disgusting and culture-wide moral and spiritual sickness. now about you, b ting for American exceptionalism in this, as in other ways.
