Verblendung (Original title: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ) is a thriller by the director David Fincher from 2011 and a remake of the novel of the same name and the first part of the Millennium Trilogy by the author Stieg Larsson .
action
The action takes place in Sweden in 2009. Every year entrepreneur Henrik Vanger receives a pressed flower in a black picture frame in the mail from an anonymous sender for his birthday. He suspects that she is sent to him by the murderer of his great niece Harriet, who disappeared without a trace in the summer of 1966, to drive him insane. She had always given him such a flower for his birthday.
Vanger makes one last attempt to solve the mystery of Harriet. He hires the Stockholm investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who fell for false documents while investigating the criminal entrepreneur Wennerström and was fined 600,000 kroner for defamation . Blomkvist is stepping down from the editorial board of his Millennium magazine , in which he has a financial stake, and accepts Vanger's offer. In return, Vanger promises him not only a lot of money but also inside information about Wennerström so that Mikael can make a second attempt to uncover his machinations.
Vanger's lawyer Dirch Frode had Blomkvist checked beforehand by a detective agency, which the young hacker Lisbeth Salander used for this purpose . She is under guardianship because of her violent childhood and because of a psychiatric report. Her new guardian, Attorney Bjurman, uses his position of power to rape Lisbeth. When Lisbeth visits his apartment, he rapes her again. Lisbeth records the crime on video and now turns the tables. On the pretext of needing money, she visits Bjurman one more time, overpowers him with a stun gun , tied him up and tattooed the sentence “I am a rapist pig” on his chest and stomach. From now on she has it in her hand.
Mikael moves into a guest house on the island where the Vangers family lives and begins to sift through all the documents Vanger has collected about Harriet's disappearance. After a brief visit from his daughter, he recognized a connection between the names and numbers noted by Harriet in her diary. These are not telephone numbers - as the police assumed - but quotations from the Bible. Mikael can associate one of the names with a murder and asks his client to provide him with an additional investigator in order to be able to match the other names and biblical quotations with murders. Lisbeth Salander, who also wrote the Blomkvist report for Vanger, takes on this task. Lisbeth and Mikael start an affair. The two succeed in shedding light on the murders and finally clearing up the murders and proving that Gottfried Vanger, the father of the current company owner Martin, was the perpetrator. Martin was at least involved in the last case, since Gottfried had already died by then. When Blomkvist approaches Martin's house on a hill on the island on foot in the dark in order to find out more and to confirm the suspicion, the latter is driving to see him. Blomkvist enters the house and finds a secured cellar door. Martin Vanger returns, discovers the intruder in the garden and lures him back into the house under a pretext. Vanger already recognized that they were on to him and didn’t show anything, but days before that he fired a warning shot at Mikael. Vanger manages to overpower Blomkvist. He tied up and abused him in his torture cellar, where he had already killed several women. Before Vanger can murder Blomkvist, Lisbeth appears, who has learned through the video from her surveillance camera that Martin wanted to see him beforehand. She can knock Martin down and thus save Mikael. Martin Vanger flees by car, while Lisbeth chases him on a motorcycle. When he leaves the street and rolls over, she watches as he dies in the burning car wreck. However, there is no evidence that Martin killed his sister as well. Blomkvist therefore concludes that she must still be alive and suspects that her cousin Anita, who lives in London, knows her whereabouts. Mikael and Lisbeth fly to London, inform Anita of Martin's death and monitor her reaction. Since there is no contact with Harriet, there are only two options: Anita knows that her cousin is dead, or she is Harriet herself. Indeed, Anita finally admits that she is really Harriet.
Gottfried had raped his daughter regularly. One evening he was so drunk that he bragged about the murder of women in front of her, whereupon she knocked him down on a boat dock with an oar, so that he fell into the water and drowned. His death was then attributed to an alcohol-related fall. However, Martin had observed the crime and continued his father's misdeeds. Harriet therefore decided to escape further sexual abuse by her brother by fleeing. With the help of her cousin Anita, she fled the island and lived after Anita's accidental death with her identity in London. She always sent the flowers to Vanger, hoping that he would see that she was still alive. Blomkvist reunites her and Henrik Vanger.
The information about Wennerström promised as a reward turns out to be worthless. However, through hacking Lisbeth Salander succeeds in proving Wennerström illegal arms deals, which Blomkvist uses to restore his reputation and to initiate investigations against Wennerström. Disguised and under a false identity, Lisbeth manages in Switzerland to divert the money from these transactions from Wennerströms accounts to her own accounts and thus acquire a billion-dollar fortune. Thereupon Wennerström is found murdered. Lisbeth believes in a future together with Mikael, from whom she has hidden her financial transactions, and sees him as her first real friend. She has to bury her hope of a relationship when she sees him coming out of the newspaper, hugging the Millennium editor, with whom he has been dating for a long time.

The premiere took place on December 12, 2011 in London . The cinema release in the USA was on December 20, 2011, the German theatrical release took place on January 12, 2012.
A large part of the filming took place at appropriate locations in Stockholm and all of Sweden. The Hedeby bridge is in Segersta, the parade was filmed in Uppsala , some of the houses, especially the Vanger estate, are in Södermanlands Iän , especially in the municipalities of Gnesta and Katrineholm . Other locations included London, Oslo-Gardermoen Airport and Zurich Airport .
The music for the film was created by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross , who previously worked with Fincher on the film music for The Social Network . For the introduction, Reznor covered Zeppelin's Immigrant song with Karen O Led .
The use of product placement throughout the film is noticeable, in some cases directly related to the novel.
Deviations from the novel
While the first film version freely interpreted the content of the novel in some places, changed the timing and presented certain contexts differently, Fincher's remake sticks much more closely to the original. Although the action had to be tightened here too, this could be implemented without major interventions. In the book, Anita is still alive while Harriet is widowed and runs a large sheep farm in Australia . After Martin was seriously injured by Lisbeth, he flees to the E4 and steers his vehicle head-on into a truck. Instead of a leather jacket, Lisbeth wants to give Mikael a metal sign with a motif by Elvis Presley at the end of the book , but throws it into the nearest garbage can when she sees Mikael with Erika in her arms - as in the film. Are omitted u. a. the history of the newspaper article about Wennerström, Mikael's affair with Cecilia Vanger, his stay in prison, his regular visits to cafes in Hedeby and the longer stay in Sandhamn .
criticism
“Nice dark, nicely filmed. But who needs it? David Fincher's US remake of Verblendung sticks too closely to Stieg Larsson's bestseller and adds little to the original Swedish film. Except for Rooney Mara. The newcomer inspires as Lisbeth Salander. "
"Magnificently played and virtuously staged thriller for adults, with which David Fincher is returning to his 'seven' roots."
Awards
The film received the award for Best Editing and four other nominations (Best Actress - Rooney Mara, Cinematography, Sound, Sound Editing) at the 2012 Academy Awards and won two Golden Globe Awards in 2012 (Best Actress in a Drama - Rooney Mara, Best Score ) nominated. The Writers Guild of America nominated for the 2012 Writers Guild Awards in the Adapted Screenplay category, and the Producers Guild of America nominated the film's producers for the Producers of the Year Awards .
