Thesuccess of the heroine Lisbeth Salander suggests a hunger in audiences for an action picture hero who is not a white 35ish male with stubble on his chin. Such characters are often effective, but they sometimes seem on loan from other films. There are few characters anywhere like Salander, played here by Rooney Mara and by Noomi Rapace in the original 2009 Swedish picture. Thin, stark, haunted, with a look that crosses goth with S&M, she is fearsomely intelligent and emotionally stranded.

It has been a fascination with the lean, fierce Salander that draws me into the "Girl" movies. We know horrible things happened to her earlier in life that explain her anger and proud isolation. Her apartment in Stockholm is like an eagle's aerie. She has an isolated life online, distant relationships with a few other technology geeks and a bleak loneliness. One of the undercurrents of these movies is the very gradual rapport that grows between Lisbeth and Mikael Blomkvist, the radical investigative journalist. This is never the kind of movie where they're going to fall in love. That she even smiles is a breakthrough.

The stories churn in my mind. I've read two of the Stieg Larsson novels, seen all three of the Swedish films and now am back for my third tour through the first story. It's an odd feeling to be seeing a movie that resembles its Swedish counterpart in so many ways, yet is subtly different under the direction of David Fincher and with a screenplay by Steven Zaillian. I don't know if it's better or worse. It has a different air.

Fincher is certainly a more assured director than Niels Arden Oplev, who did the 2009 Swedish film. Yet his assurance isn't always a plus. The earlier film had a certain earnest directness that seemed to raise the stakes. Emotions were closer to the surface. Rooney Mara and Noomi Rapace both create convincing Salanders, but Rapace seems more uneasy in her skin, more threatened. As the male lead Mikael Blomkvist, Michael Nyqvist seemed less confident, more threatened. In this film, Daniel Craig brings along the confidence of James Bond. How could he not? He looks too comfortable in danger.

The labyrinth of the story remains murky. The elderly millionaire Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), cut off from the mainland on the family island, yearns to know how his beloved niece Harriet died 40 years ago. Because apparently neither she nor her body left the island on the day she disappeared, and no trace has ever been found, suspicion rests on those who were there that day, in particular other Vanger relatives whose houses overlook Henrik's from their own isolation.

In this film more than the original, the stories of Mikael and Lisbeth are kept separate for an extended period. We learn about the girl's state-appointed guardian (Yorick van Wageningen), who abused her, stole from her and terrorized her. Her attempts to avenge herself would make a movie of their own.

Zaillian's script comes down to a series of fraught scenes between his leads and a distinctive gallery of supporting characters, given weight by Stellan Skarsgard, Robin Wright and the iconic London actor Steven Berkoff. These people inhabit a world with no boring people. By providing Mikael with his own small cottage on the island, Henrik Vanger isolates him in a vulnerable situation, which sinks in as he realizes he's probably sharing the island with a murderer.

There's also the problem of why Henrik continues to receive watercolors of wildflowers on his birthday, a tradition that his niece began and inexplicably has continued after her death. If you subtract computers, geeks, goth girls, nose piercings, motorcycles and dragon tattoos, what we have at the bottom is a classic Agatha Christie plot. The island works as a sealed room. I realize most people will be seeing the story for the first time with this version. Because it worked for me, I suspect it will work better for them, because everything will be new. I'm happy to have seen both. If I had a choice of seeing one or the other for the first time, I'd choose the 2009 version. It seems closer to the bone, with a less confident surface. Even the Swedish dialogue adds to the effect; in English, the characters are concealing secrets but not so uncannily concealing themselves.

Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Episode 6 of The Last of Us.In Episode 6 of The Last of Us, "Kin," Ellie (Bella Ramsey) is given the opportunity to watch a film in a movie theater during her temporary stay at a commune in Jackson. Having grown up in energy-poor, FEDRA-controlled Boston, this might be the first she's ever seen, but her curiosity about what Joel (Pedro Pascal) is up to has her leaving the theater prematurely. In spite of this, enough of the film is shown to know what it is, and there are certainly some connections between the movie and Ellie's ongoing struggle.

So far, the HBO series has been particularly attentive to imbuing subtext in every song, joke, and comic book, and this film is certainly no different. Here's everything you need to know about the film, why it matters, and what Ellie could have possibly done differently if she had stayed and watched the whole thing.

The film shown on movie night in the Jackson commune is the 1977 Oscar-nominated The Goodbye Girl. It might seem like an odd choice for the citizens of Jackson to screen for their kids, but it is the perfect one for The Last of Us creators Neil Druckmann and Craig Mazin to utilize. The film so perfectly underscores Joel and Ellie's relationship and upcoming conflict that had Ellie watched it, the episode might have ended a little differently.

The Goodbye Girl is a romantic comedy that follows a young girl named Lucy (Quinn Cummings) who lives with her single mother, Paula (Marsha Mason), in a Manhattan apartment when an aspiring actor, Elliot (Richard Dreyfuss) stumbles into their lives. He's somehow sublet the very apartment they live in. The three are forced into strained cohabitation rife with conflict, but, all the while, Elliot and Paula begin to nurture a romance. All things considered, it is a strange film to end up in a post-apocalyptic drama. Perhaps, the people of Jackson just don't have many movies on film to choose from. However, it is in the emotional turmoil of young Lucy that some deeper subtext is brought to the narrative of Ellie.

Like Ellie in The Last of Us, Lucy has had to learn to cope with a great deal of abandonment. The men that have come into her and her mother's lives seem to disappear right around when Ellie starts to cultivate a more meaningful connection with them. Quinn Cummings' performance is so captivating that she became, at the time, the youngest actor ever nominated for an Academy Award. The sudden arrival of Dreyfuss, who was also nominated and won an Oscar for his role as Elliot, sends Cummings character back into the cycle of developing a father/daughter-like relationship with an older man who might ultimately abandon her.

To add to the dimensionality of a comparison between Lucy and Ellie, Lucy is incredibly endearing and forthright. She has a comedic tendency that just sucks the viewer into the movie. When discussing Elliot with her mom she says, "I think he's kinda cute. He reminds me of a dog that nobody wants." There's no doubt that if Ellie had stuck it out in the theater, she would have identified, at least slightly, with the outspoken young Manhattanite. While Dreyfuss's character, Elliot, couldn't be further from Joel, there's a shockingly similar emotional development between Elliot and Lucy that just perfectly mirrors that of Ellie and Joel. This is especially poignant when Elliot's acting career takes a downward spiral. Like Ellie and Joel, Lucy witnesses Elliot's failures and finds him more and more vulnerable. Until the undeniable connection between them becomes the source of reigniting fears that he, like all the other men in her life, will ultimately abandon her.

Ellie leaves the movie theater during the first act of the film. She barely gets to see Lucy and Elliot meet, when instead she decides to follow Joel's brother, Tommy (Gabriel Luna) out across the commune. Had she stuck it out, she might have felt a little differently later when her fears of abandonment by Joel come out into the open. "Everybody I have cared for has either died or left me. Everybody, fucking except for you!" She yells at Joel during their spat oddly reminiscent of a suburban father/daughter tiff, complete with childhood bedroom, door slamming, and angsty diary reading against a window.

Similarly, in The Goodbye Girl, an acting job presents itself for Elliot on the West Coast that will force Elliot to part ways with Lucy and Paula. Referencing the last man who left by writing a letter that she and her mother read together, Lucy says, "At least we didn't get a letter this time." Having only just opened up with Elliot and shared her love for having him in her life, Lucy is already certain that she will never see him again. Her abandonment cycle is seemingly perpetuated by a trip west. This is then further solidified by a fight between Elliot and Paula just before he somberly walks away. In the final, scene of the film, she and her mom begin to go down the same ritual after a man leaves them, when all of a sudden, the phone rings. Elliot and Paula make up. He invites her to come along to California, but instead, she stays with Lucy, the two of them certain that he will come back. Their temporary parting doesn't have to be the last time they see each other, and is, perhaps, Lucy's first step towards overcoming her fear of abandonment.

In The Last of Us, Ellie and Joel's fight becomes the catalyst that will change Joel's mind and have him, rather than Tommy, accompany Ellie on the remainder of the journey to the fireflies. Despite his fear of letting her down, or, you know, getting stabbed and leaving her stranded on the side of the road in the dead of winter while he potentially bleeds to death. Perhaps, if Ellie had just simply watched The Goodbye Girl she might have learned that not every goodbye has to be permanent.
