Did you see the Swedish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ?

I saw the Swedish version first, then read the book in English, and then watched the American version in English.

The American version was ok.... but only "Ok"... no comparison to the Swedish version.

Noomie Rapace *made* the Swedish version - and she speaks perfect, unaccented English.... so I had to wonder why they did not get her for the American version..... but even with her in the lead role, the American version would not have stood up to the Swedish.... It just lacked the intricacies and nuances that the Swedish version had.

Per rbowman:

You mean "Wookiee" are a group of people ?

I know there are places called "Wookey Hole" and "Wookey Hole Caves" near Wells, but did not know that "Wookiee" or "Wookey" were a group of people.

I've seen Dragon Tattoo, Fire, and Hornet's Nest, all in the Swedish versions. I've never seen the American version. I wonder if 'The Girl in the Spider's Web' will make it to a movie. I've read mixed reviews but I think there is some discontent when Lagercrantz stepped in after Larsson died.

I've only seen some of the Wallander episodes in Swedish too, not the British remakes, and read a couple of Mankell's book. It's somehow apropos that the 'Faceless Killers' in 1991 theme revolve around immigration and its discontents.

Not a 'Star Wars' fan I take it? I've only seen a couple of them but that's enough to know Chewbacca is a Wookiie from the planet Kashyyyk. I think Wookey Hole probably was there first.

When I die and go to see Jesus, and my book of life is opened. I hope to remember to ask. It's in there some where, I expect.

I think you're right about the start line.
