Re: Secrets you're too lazy to make...

I love the moment in TGWTDT (US movie) where Lisbeth matter-of-factly asks Mikael, "Can I kill him?" before she goes after Martin Vanger as he flees his own torture room.

I love that in this totally destabilized moment, she trusts Mikael to help her make that call. We know Lisbeth has no qualms about vigilante justice (or vengeance), but I love that here, she reflexively recruits Mikael to be the ‘judge’ to her ‘jury and executioner.’ IMO it makes both of their characters, and the dynamic between their characters, more interesting.

The thing is, Larsson took deliberate care not to make his female protagonists defer to men unless they had a solid, practical reason for doing so. And Lisbeth was doubly this way. So Larsson probably would've hated that line, and found it totally antithetical to the character as he wrote her. Because it kind of is?

Yet it's still a moment I really, really love.
