A girl institutionalized by her step father, uses a alternative reality in her mind as a result of a lobotomy and with this fantasizes about escaping with other girls also institutionalized.
The CGI used in this film made for a visually enthralling treat to the eyes and the mind.
Stieg larsson, the auther of the millinnium trilogy, who unfortuntly passed away in 2004 after he wrote the girl with the dragon tattoo. He also wrote two unpublished manuscripts; The Girl who played with fire and the Girl who kicked the hornets nest.
The girl who played with fire, was still a good book and had the same writing techniques used in the girl with the dragon tattoo, like how parts of one story are weaved within another, but, I suppose in this one the story didnt seem as captivating, it actually took me longer to read.
I read the book at the end of last year and was captivated right till the very end, it had the perfect mix of character development, twists, a solid plot with likable characters. I really love Lisbeth Salander, I like that she is the black sheep in a heard of white sheep, she’ll only listen to herself, and have no influence from others in deciscions she makes, also she is a brilliant hacker. I also love the way the story was written, each part was weaved beautifully within each other. It was developed into a film, set in its original location of Sweden. I thought the film was great, I did notice though that parts in the book that i thought were great, actually never appeared in the film.
