Millennium I: The Men Who Hate Women

It had been weeks since we talked about film ... Well, without going any further, last Tuesday we went to see Millennium I, the Swedish director Niels Arden Oplev and based on the novels by Stieg Larsson. The first thing that struck me was the length of the film, 2h and 25 min. something rare in movies today is unless disaster, see the future 2012 . Next came into the room ... what memories of my time as an usher!. As the film had a strange deja vu to "The Crimson Rivers" and thought it was a good sign, so I settled, I focused my senses on the screen, trying to circumvent the heavy mobile, the couple mindless eating popcorn with his mouth open (hopefully they enter a mosconejo in the mouth) and the little pair of ladies who said each plane of the film "has now told him to be" Madam, we've all heard, if you are deaf, buy a sonotone ...! Returning to the film.

Designed as a decalogía that was to address the format television series, was readapted to the cinema to create a trilogy, as its author S. Larsson died prematurely.

Filmed on location and severe cold northern European cities, the film uses cold tones, grays, we freeze even off the screen, yes, I do not know where he was the director as it is able to match in the management of Hollywood camera many who have fallen asleep on the vine doing commercial cinema.

The film is about a journalist who is accused of defamation, who leaves her job to go to a remote island and investigate the disappearance of a young wealthy family. He will join a young a bit peculiar that will help you in your research and you also have the opportunity to learn more as the stories of both pesonajes join mid-movie and while we can enjoy two seemingly independent stories.

That the title deceive you, the film is a sordid thriller, hard, roughly, that just shows you a couple in love as a full-scale violation with the familiar realism of European cinema.

Personally, I felt a little long the movie without having read the book, since it says that the story is much more developed than is seen in the film, could not assess adaptation.

The characters are blurred and pass through the screen without really knowing his intentions except the main female character: Lisabeth Salander (just to see her perform, it is worth going to see the film), that breaks the film as few and often makes us forget the plot "main" to leave us speechless with the personality that gives it the character and show little by little, their past and current problems, we will not reveal the movies that you should go totally blank. Still, it could have been toned down a little footage, or maybe it is that I'm not used to being in the movies ...

Finally, a note: I am extremely aware how the major TV series and movies are equipment and gadgets of the brand on the block ... every day is closer to the MacBook Pro ...
