Info

-       The film is represented by two huge production companies such: Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures as well as by Scott Rubin Productions and Yellow Bird Films. By observing that “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” film involved four production companies, I can tell that this film had big budget and was expensive to make.

-       The film has big stars starring like the two leading actors Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.  During the opening sequence, in total eight actors were mentioned.



-        The film was directed by highly acclaimed David Fincher



-       It was produced by Scott Rubin

-       The film was based on the popular Swedish novel “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” that was written by Stieg Larsson.

-       Music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.







Action


-       From the beginning of the opening sequence, the mood is set as the audience sees the freaky and dark objects being filled with black ooze. This makes the opening sequence very powerful and unforgettable.

-       Black ooze was placed into every scene. It unifies the sequence.

-       The director picks out general and specific moments from the book trilogy that are demonstrated visually. Those moments are: a pressed flower, wasps, the instruments of hacking, main character’s Lisbeth Salander’s father being set on fire and the dragon alluded to in the title.

-       Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” was a spooky opening soundtrack. It gave a feeling of fundamental-ooze fever dream.

-       The opening sequence also has 3-D scans of principal actors Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig to add more edginess and style to the opening sequence.
