百年50部英文燒腦電影賞析:[45]The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 龍紋身的女孩

Journalist Mikael Blomkvist（Daniel Craig）, co-owner of Millennium magazine, has just lost a libel case brought against him by corrupt businessman Hans-Erik Wennerström（Ulf Friberg）. Meanwhile, Lisbeth Salander（Rooney Mara）, a brilliant researcher and computer hacker, compiles an extensive background check on Blomkvist for business magnate Henrik Vanger（Christopher Plummer）, who has a special task for him. In exchange for the promise of damning information about Wennerström, Blomkvist agrees to investigate the disappearance and assumed murder of Henrik's grandniece, Harriet, 40 years before. After moving to the Vanger family's compound, Blomkvist uncovers a notebook containing a list of names and numbers that no one has been able to decipher.
Salander, who is understate legal guardianship due to mental incompetency, is appointed a new guardian, lawyer Nils Bjurman（Yorick van Wageningen）, after her previous guardian has a stroke. Bjurman abuses his authority to extort sexual favors from Salander and then violently rapes her, not realizing she has a hidden video camera in her bag. At their next meeting, she stuns him with a Taser, rapes him with a dildo, and marks him as a rapist with a tattoo on his chest and stomach; she then blackmails him into writing her a glowing progress report. Blomkvist's daughter visits him and notes that the numbers from the notebook are Bible references. Blomkvist tells Vanger's lawyer Dirch Frode（Steven Berkoff）that he needs help with his research, and Frode recommends Salander based on the work she did researching Blomkvist himself. Blomkvist hires Salander to further investigate the notebook's content. She uncovers a connection to a series of murders of young women that occurred from 1947 through 1967, with the women either being Jewish or having Biblical names; many of the Vangers are known antisemites. During the investigation, Salander and Blomkvist become lovers. Henrik's brother Harald（Per Myrberg）identifies Martin（Stellan Skarsgård）, Harriet's brother and operational head of the Vanger empire, as a possible suspect. Salander's research uncovers evidence that Martin and his deceased father, Gottfried, had committed the murders.
Blomkvist breaks into Martin's house to look for more clues, but Martin catches him and prepares to kill him. Martin brags about having killed women for decades, but denies killing Harriet. Salander arrives, subdues Martin and saves Blomkvist. While Salander tends to Blomkvist, Martin flees. Salander, on her motorcycle, pursues Martin in his SUV He loses control of his vehicle on an icy road and dies when it catches fire. Salander nurses Blomkvist back to health, and tells him that she tried to kill her father when she was 12. After recovering, Blomkvist deduces that Harriet is still alive and her cousin Anita（Joely Richardson）likely knows where she is, He and Salander monitor Anita, waiting for her to contact Harriet. When nothing happens, Blomkvist confronts her, correctly deducing Anita is Harriet herself. She explains that her father and brother had sexually abused her for years, and that Martin saw her kill their father in self-defense. Her cousin Anita smuggled her out of the island and let her live under her identity. Finally free of her brother, she returns to Sweden and tearfully reunites with Henrik.
As promised, Henrik gives Blomkvist the information on Wennerström, but it proves to be worthless. Salanderhacks into Wennerström's computer and presents Blomkvist with damning evidence of Wennerström's crimes. Blomkvist publishes an article which ruins Wennerström, who flees the country. Salander hacks into Wennerström's bank accounts and, travelling to Switzerland in disguise, transfers two billion euros to various accounts. Wennerström is soon found murdered. Salander reveals to her former guardian that she is in love with Blomkvist, on her way to give Blomkvist a Christmas present, however, Salander sees him and his longtime lover and business partner Erika Berger（Robin Wright）walking together happily. Heartbroken, she discards the gift and rides away.
新聞記者米克爾·布盧奎斯特（丹尼爾·克雷格飾）也是千禧年雜志的共同所有者。他剛剛在一樁腐敗商人漢斯埃瑞克·溫那斯托姆（烏爾夫·弗里伯格飾）帶給他的誹謗案中敗訴。同時，莉斯貝思·薩蘭德（魯妮·瑪拉飾），一個才華橫溢的調(diào)查員和計算機黑客正為商業(yè)富豪亨里克·瓦格（克里斯托夫·普盧默飾）對布盧奎斯特的背景進行廣泛調(diào)查。亨里克有一項特殊任務(wù)給布盧奎斯特。亨里克承諾把溫那斯托姆的誹謗資料給布盧奎斯特，作為交換，布盧奎斯特同意調(diào)查一起40年前亨里克侄孫女哈麗特的失蹤和偽造謀殺案。搬到了瓦格家的院子后，布盧奎斯特發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個筆記本，包含無人能譯的名字和號碼列表。

薩蘭德由于精神上無行為能力，處于法律上的監(jiān)護狀態(tài)。在前一個監(jiān)護人中風(fēng)后，她被指定了一個新的監(jiān)護人律師尼爾斯·比尤曼（約里克·范·瓦赫寧恩飾）。比尤曼濫用他的權(quán)力向薩蘭德勒索性服務(wù)，后來竟用暴力強奸了她，但他沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)，此時她的包里有一個隱藏的錄像機。下一次見面時，她用泰瑟槍把他打暈，用假陰莖強奸了他，并在他的胸前和腹部用紋身打上了強奸犯的標(biāo)記，然后脅迫他為她寫了一個有利的進度報告。
布盧奎斯特的女兒來看他，注意到那個筆記本上的號碼是引自《圣經(jīng)》。布盧奎斯特告訴瓦格的律師德爾其·福諾德（史蒂文·伯克奧夫飾），他的調(diào)查需要找人幫忙。福諾德基于薩蘭德對布盧奎斯特的調(diào)查工作，向他推薦了薩蘭德。布盧奎斯特雇傭了薩蘭德進一步調(diào)查那個筆記本上的內(nèi)容。她發(fā)現(xiàn)了1947年到1967年間發(fā)生的一系列年輕婦女謀殺中的關(guān)聯(lián)點：那些女人要么是猶太人，要么就是有圣經(jīng)的名字；瓦格家的許多人都是反猶太者。薩蘭德和布盧奎斯特在調(diào)查期間成為了情侶。亨里克的兄弟哈拉爾德（波·邁爾伯格飾）辨認出，哈麗特的兄弟及瓦格家族的執(zhí)行首腦馬?。ㄋ固靥m·斯卡斯加德飾）可能是一名嫌疑犯。薩蘭德調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)了證據(jù)，證實馬丁和他死去的父親戈特弗里德實施了那些謀殺。 布盧奎斯特闖入馬丁的房子尋找更多線索，但是馬丁抓住了他并準(zhǔn)備殺死他。馬丁吹噓自己已經(jīng)殺害婦女長達幾十年，但是否認殺了哈麗特。薩蘭德趕到，制服了馬丁，救了布盧奎斯特。當(dāng)薩蘭德照料布盧奎斯特時，馬丁開著他的SUV逃跑了。薩蘭德騎摩托車追趕馬丁。馬丁在結(jié)冰的路面上失去了對汽車的控制，車著火了，他也死了。薩蘭德照料布盧奎斯特恢復(fù)健康，并給他講述自己在12歲時試圖殺死自己的父親。恢復(fù)健康后，布盧奎斯特推論出哈麗特仍然活著，而且她的堂姊妹阿妮塔（朱莉·理查德森飾）可能知道她的下落。他和薩蘭德監(jiān)視阿妮塔，等待她與哈麗特聯(lián)系。但是什么都沒發(fā)生，布盧奎斯特與阿妮塔當(dāng)面對質(zhì)，正確地推斷出她就是哈麗特本人。她解釋說，多年來，他父親和兄弟對她實施性虐待，而且馬丁看到她因自衛(wèi)殺死了父親。她的堂姊妹阿妮塔將她偷運到島外，并讓她以阿妮塔的身份繼續(xù)生活。哈麗特最終擺脫了她的兄弟，返回瑞典并和亨里克含淚重聚。
亨里克信守諾言，把溫那斯托姆的有關(guān)資料給了布盧奎斯特，但這些資料卻沒有用處。薩蘭德侵入到溫那斯托姆的電腦中，為布盧奎斯特找出了溫那斯托姆誹謗罪的證據(jù)。布盧奎斯特發(fā)表了一篇文章毀掉了溫那斯托姆，他逃離了這個國家。薩蘭德喬裝旅行到瑞士，入侵到溫那斯托姆的銀行賬戶，從中轉(zhuǎn)走了二十億歐元到多個其他賬戶。不久后，有人發(fā)現(xiàn)溫那斯托姆被謀殺了。薩蘭德向她前一個監(jiān)護人吐露，她愛上了布盧奎斯特。然而，在她去給布盧奎斯特送圣誕禮物的路上，薩蘭德看到他和他的老情人及生意合作伙伴艾麗卡·伯杰（羅賓·賴特飾）一起快樂地走著，心碎不已，扔下禮物疾馳而去。
