Since these books are originally in a different language and take place
in a different country, that’s an obstacle when adapting the book. I feel like
the author thought a lot about the appearance of his characters and how it
relates to who they are, so casting could also possess an issue. As a reader,
most of the story is told in the form of people talking or reading different
reports. I think it would be hard for the film to show these things when they’re
just simply told to readers. Audiences don’t like to sit through hours of
talking in theaters. Directors would have a hard time getting across all the
important information without boring viewers.
The
first scene I would keep would be when Lisbeth throws a gasoline carton into
Zalachenko’s, her abusive father, car and it bursts into flames. This is important
because it shows Lisbeth’s internal issues and why she turned out hostile and
alone. I would also include the part where Lisbeth saves a couple and a boy
from an intense hurricane. This shows a lot of her character because she comes
off as unfriendly and keeps to herself, but this scene demonstrates that she
does care about other people. Lisbeth is known for always having a reason for
her actions, respecting people that respect her, and never giving someone
something they don’t deserve. A third scene I’d pick is one where Ronald
Niedermann, an enormous trained assassin, is freaking out because he’s scared
of the dark. His character is portrayed as the largest man anyone has ever seen
and he has a condition where he doesn’t feel pain. This scene shows that his
mental state isn’t nearly as strong as his physical.
I would cut out the subplot about Lisbeth finding her sister because it’s
a very long book and this part isn’t essential. Her sister is a small part the
author can include but can be ruled unnecessary for the movie. I’d also exclude
scenes about Erika Berger, chief editor at Millennium,
and her promotion. As a reader we like to hear about how her life moves forward,
but it’s a minor detail when you focus on the story of Lisbeth and Zalachenko.
