Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Girl With The Dragon TattooI know the film has been out for over a year and the DVD for a while but I only got to watch 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' - whose original and more potent title was 'Men Who Hate Women' (a far more appropriate title given the nature of the book) - the other day. Having read the Millennium Trilogy (this is part one) by Stieg Larsson last year I was always looking forward to the film versions of the books. They're made for film whether on the big or small screen (infact, I believe this film was originally a two part television film re-edited into a big screen version) as they're over the top, with plenty of puzzle solving, plot twists, melodrama, violence and filled with well drawn characters engaged in a plot that moves forward at a relentless pace. Underlying the books is of course a number of serious subjects including racism, patriarchal misogyny, sexual violence and globalization - a reminder that all is not well in social democratic Sweden, a country we often view as enlightened and liberal, a country unlike our own.

So, for those of you who haven't read the books I'm afraid you'll have to go elsewhere for a synopsis. Suffice to say that the trilogy makes for great holiday reading and if like me you're prone to reading thrillers late at night be warned; this book and its companions are pages turners and the chances of you getting much sleep are minimal.

So to the film, let me begin by saying that I'm glad I saw the Swedish version first. David Fincher is directing the Hollywood version next year with Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara (Tanner Hall, Dare, The Winning Season, The Social Network) in the lead roles and although I'm looking forward to seeing how they approach it I can't see quite how they're going to capture the psychological atmosphere of Sweden well as their Swedish counterparts.

By now, most people should know that tattoos are as much for girls as they are for men. The foot is a great place for a girl to have a tattoo, and there are many designs that will look great on the feet. This type of tattoo is becoming increasingly popular among girls of all ages. There are many reasons why a girl may want a foot tattoo and here are a few points to consider.

Here are a few of the benefits of a Foot Tattoo

One simple fact is that they are not as common as other tattoos that girls usually get, like the lower back tattoo or arm tattoos for women. This makes you feel unique and helps you to stand out.

Another great reason for a foot tattoo would be that you could hide it easily. You will find that some employers will frown on tattoos, and having one that you can hide will make your life a lot easier if you work or are trying to work for a company like that. It will also let you have a more personal tattoo that you can show off when you want too.

Flower, Star and Butterfly Tattoo Designs - Favorite Girl Tattoos of All Time

Girls never get tired of flowers, butterfly and stars as tattoo designs for their body art. With society easing up on ladies who want to get their fair share of ink art, tattoo parlors are seeing a significant increase of women among their clients. Tattoos are no longer just a symbol of strength and masculinity but they also represent daintiness and femininity. The general rule when it comes to tattoos for women is to keep the design relatively smaller accentuated with vibrant and playful colors.

Stars Tattoos

Stars have long been symbols used in mythology and religion. Their inclusion as heavenly bodies only helped to bolster their mysteriousness. The star is often inextricable with religion. The early Christians used the 5-pointed star as a symbol of good health. The 6-pointed star or more commonly known as the Star of David is a symbol for the Jewish faith. Other adorable star designs are the shooting star and the trail of stars. The shooting star is used to symbolize luck and success. The trail of stars can be recreated with a bunch of small stars so that it resembles the night sky.

Flower Tattoos

A woman's love for flowers is not only contained for the ones that grow in the garden. There are ladies who choose to have a particular flower permanently printed on their skin because of their meaning. Orchids are prized tropical flowers. These flowers represent mysterious women and are often synonymous to love, passion and intimacy.

Hibiscus and cherry blossoms are flowers whose bloom that can only survive for a short period of time. For this reason, women would like to immortalize this frail symbol of beauty. They represent love, charm and beauty.

Lilies are the ancient symbol for majesty and purity. This image is due to the Virgin Mary often depicted as carrying a bunch of lilies or being near them. There are different varieties of lilies including the tiger lily and lily of the valley.

Butterfly Tattoos

You will rarely find a girl who has a tattoo of a bug on her back. The fact is that women aren't huge fans of insects except for the butterfly. Butterflies symbolize a woman who has morphed into a lovely creature who is ready to fly.

A butterfly tattoo is very versatile. A black and white butterfly will have the same appeal as one that has countless of colors. You can also combine your butterfly tattoos with other designs such as flowers and vines. There are countless designs that you can come up with; you are only bounded by your own imagination.
