It’s fascinating to run into a remake of a film that hasn’t long passed, since many comparisons and questions pop up. Essentially, does the remake have a purpose and a klar reason for existing? If not, then how does the bio stand for different types of audiences? In the case of Fincher’s iteration of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the mileage on one’s likability of the film is most likely going to hinge on these very questions more than other remakes or adaptations in the past.
