In terms of being faithful to the original version, I think it's rather a moot point, since Larsson's common-law wife has complained his family did not present the articles for the public in the manner he would have wanted. Being that common law arrangements are not recognized in Sweden she of course got nothing. I think Larsson would be quite upset about that . There may have been some minor changes here and there in the american version, but I'm grateful at the very least the movie was not sanitized for the market. I thought the acting, overall, was superior in the current remake.

Furthermore, I would add that during the 1930s pro-Nazi attitudes were widespread among the middle and upper classes of Sweden. Just saw the american version of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". It is actually quite good, possibly better than the original version. I don't know if you've seen the Swedish version. I don't believe it was released dubbed into English. the new Hollywood version is being released in Germany in two weeks time. After that I'll compare the two versions. The Swedish version was released on general release here in a dubbed version last year - it's very good, so the Hollywood version has a lot to live up to to be better. BTW I've just read an article by a translator criticising the English translation of the books for being quite cavalier in its treatment of various aspects of the plot - starting with the title, which is actually "The Man Who Hated Women" but also including the dragon tattoo of the English title, which IIRC in the English version is on her right shoulder but in the Swedish version is much larger starting on her right shoulder covering most of her back with the tail ending on one of her thighs. The German translation is apparently truer to the Swedish original than the English version. I'll now have to read the trilogy again in German to see if the differences affect the plot or the story-telling.
