'I am Lisbeth Salander,' I would say - much like the 'I am Spartacus' supporters in the 1960 Stanley Kubrick gladiator film of Spartacus. Because I know this woman. She is based on a true story. The real person is neither a psychiatric case, nor a criminal. But a woman who dares, and who has the guts to go against men in power, who simply misuse power. She is you and me. If you haven't already read the Millennium trilogy by Swedish author Stieg Larsson, or seen the film trilogy based on his books - please do so. These are the three separate volumes of the books and films:
"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
"The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"
"The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest"
Monday night I saw a pre-premiere of the last film in the trilogy The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest in the ultimate premiere cinema of Imperial in Copenhagen. Where it opens tomorrow in Denmark - alongside a long list of other Danish cinemas. Go see this kick-ass film, where Lisbeth Salander is finally vindicated. Through justice. Poetic justice. The real Lisbeth Salander deserves as much.
