Noomi Rapace in The Girl Who Played With Fire.
She was such a little bad ass in these movies. I’ve had this discussion a few times. I have not read the books, but I’m definitely a Noomi as Lisbeth Salander fan. I have no issues with Rooney Mara. She was the only specific actor I was rooting for at the Oscars this year. I just feel like Rooney’s edge was all look, and Noomi’s edge was all her. She just gives off the vibe that she’s not one to fuck with. Rooney gives off the vibe of “Ooh, I’m scary cuz I got piercings and weird hair and shit. Who wins in the knife fight of Lisbeth v Lisbeth? The original wins in a bloodbath landslide.
The sex drive of men is something we are all comfortable with in this country. It’s funny and hormonal and slapstick (American Pie), it’s potentially uncontrollable, maniacal/homicidal (American Psycho), it is adulterous and is insatiable (American Beauty), it is fun and social (American Graffiti) and it is entrepreneurial (American Gigolo). But women? No. NC-17. XXXX. Stop it with the moaning.

Funny (read: fucking infuriating) thing about this: where female pleasure is generally a no-no, female pain is often viewed as less extreme. This skewed perception of female sexuality results in “Blue Valentine” being rated NC-17 because a woman is shown enjoying receiving oral sex, while “The Last House on the Left” and “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” come away with R-ratings, despite both having explicit rape scenes.So not only does our film culture limit female sexuality, but it limits it to the exact opposite of what anyone would hope sexuality to be: dark, shameful, violent, and only ever remotely pleasurable if orchestrated by a man - but never at the expense of the man’s own pleasure.
In “Blue Valentine”, Ryan Gosling gets Michelle Williams off, after all. We don’t see his character orgasm.
And, evidently, that’s far too threatening to the virility of men everywhere.

Others make gifs of Daniel and Rooney, I make gifs of the cat because she’s a fucking queen and her tail movements are majestic.
I am the only one who thinks that Noomi Rapace was a million times better than Rooney Mara’s bland performance?
Oh. Okay then.
I’m laughing at the Iron Lady poster…

What happens when we find 'The Line' as viewers?
I think it is absolutely the responsibility of an artist to look into darkness without blinking. I think it is important that we talk about morality and character and the way we dehumanize one another. But I also think the point has been more than made on film that rape is a terrible thing, and at this point, if you’re not contributing some new idea to the conversation, then you are literally just using it as a button, something you push to get a response, and that unnerves me.

Noomi Rapace
Having first seen her in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo it was hard to separate her from such a strong character as Lisbeth, but she’s a smart actress and actually stunning.
And the dress she wore at the Stockholm Sherlock premiere… wow.
Karen O, Trent Reznor, and Atticus Ross: “Immigrant Song.” From The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo soundtrack.
This song should go on forever.
