Fincher has a way of taking a single image and making it poetically resonant.<br />This is a movie that really immerses itself and the viewer in the ethos of its very specific time and place, and that’s really reflected in the way the director has meticulously controlled his lighting decisions.Jim Wrightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-43603227073360408982012-01-10T21:36:11.491-05:002012-01-10T21:36:11.491-05:00Don’t think I’m not presuadable on THE GIRL WITH T...Don’t think I’m not presuadable on THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. for me it sounds like a repeatable ecstatic experience in it’s own Hollywood way up there with the likes of, say, “Muholland Dr.” or “To Live & Die in L.A." - indeed focus of a cult of sorts to which I am long privy.Keith Bellowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-66497502478909447122012-01-10T19:31:54.696-05:002012-01-10T19:31:54.696-05:00Joe, your short essay on Fincher's film is int...Joe, your short essay on Fincher's film is intriguing and I will definitely keep it in mind when I eventually see the film - again.Mike G.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-44492844221898159022012-01-10T16:18:41.686-05:002012-01-10T16:18:41.686-05:00This is very disciplined film.

You might not think it was possible to make a film about a punk hacker without condescention or demeaning<br />clichés but Fincher did it.fs491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18439960.post-12529278673595554702012-01-10T16:08:50.631-05:002012-01-10T16:08:50.631-05:00Thanks for your clear observations, Joe.

I appreciate that you didn't try to second-guess the source material's “political point of view” but rather dwelled on Fincher's "politics" - namely, command of the medium. He doesn't receive nearly the amount of attention and credit he so clearly deserves.Larrynoreply@blogger.com
